	CMT.com : Charley Patton : Biography
		Although Patton was roughly five foot, five inches tall and only weighed a Spartan 135 pounds, his gravelly, high-energy singing style (even on ballads and gospel tunes it sounded this way) made him sound like a man twice his weight and half again his size.
		Patton is generally regarded as one of the original architects of putting blues into a strong, syncopated rhythm, and his strident tone was achieved by tuning his guitar up a step and a half above standard pitch instead of using a capo.
		Patton was also responsible for hooking up fellow players Willie Brown and Son House with their first chances to record.

	Trail of the Hellhound: Charley Patton
		Patton's music began to exert considerable influence; guitarist Tommy Johnson had moved to the Dockery vicinity circa 1913 and was soon playing Delta blues including Patton's "Pony Blues." Around 1914, Patton began playing his guitar with members of the Chatmon family, working picnics and frolics.
		Patton's hypnotic three-note songs also deeply influenced Clarksdale's John Lee Hooker, who recorded his own version of Patton's "Pea Vine Blues." Bukka White also cited a desire "to come to be a famous man, like Charley Patton," and demonstrated a similar knack for playing dance songs for extended periods.
		Patton's grave is located in Holly Ridge, Mississippi, and the tombstone acknowledges his pivotal role in the development of the Delta Blues.

	Charlie Patton
		Patton first recorded in 1929, and was one of the last rural African-Americans to have a chance to preserve his broader range of material on commercial recordings.
		Patton was the last Jeffersonian to make a significant impact on the blues market, and it is worth noting that only a half-dozen of his earliest records sold at all well, and even these almost exclusively in rural areas.
		Patton did much better, releasing 26 records to House’s four, but there is no reason to think that the recordings made up a significant part of his income, or that the failure of his later records to sell implies any lack of work on the local dance and picnic scene.

	YEAR OF THE BLUES 2003
		By the time Charlie (Charley) Patton was first recorded in 1929, then, some form of the music had reportedly been floating through the region's fields, juke joints, and house parties for approximately two decades, and was presumably being played by many regional performers.
