Henry Ford Thompson Great Blues Artist San Diego 5-17-20 . . . . . . . . . . . t is with heartfelt sorrow that I inform everyone, that long time San Diego resident and Blues Great, Henry Ford Thompson, passed away Saturday June 14th., 2003. Henry was born in Memphis, Tennessee. At the age of eight he eagerly constructed and plucked at various single stringed instruments. Henry was enamered with music and could be found hanging around a host of influential legendary Blues performers including Joe Hill Lewis. Henry began his own musical career in 1955, with the purchase of his first electric guitar for $15.75 which he paid for by picking cotton at two bucks a hundred. Who could ever forget Henry's rendition of "Big Boss Man" We will all greatly miss Henry.
