Headstone for Johnny “Rolling Stone” Wright
Bluesman, Johnny “Rolling Stone” Wright was sadly buried without a headstone. We’re requesting donations of any amount to defray costs in order to rectify this situation. Johnny was discovered by Ike Turner, played with Chuck Berry, taking his place in St. Louis’ Metropolitan Club and recorded several sides on a number of Blues labels.
He died poor and his family was unable to purchase a stone. We have ordered a black marble headstone complete with short bio and picture etched into it.
Johnny died trying to keep the Blues alive so we are offering a chance to honor his place in music history with a donation of any size. Thank you
