Pinkney "Pink" Anderson (February 12, 1900 – October 12, 1974〔) was an American blues singer and guitarist. ==Life and career== He was born in Laurens, South Carolina. After being raised in nearby Greenville and Spartanburg, he joined Dr. William R. Kerr of the Indian Remedy Company in 1914 to entertain the crowds while Kerr tried to sell a concoction purported to have medicinal qualities. He still "went out" when he could with Leo "Chief Thundercloud" Kahdot (of the Potawatomi native Americans) and his medicine show, often with the Jonesville, South Carolina based harmonica-player Arthur "Peg Leg Sam" Jackson. In May 1950, Anderson was recorded by folklorist Paul Clayton at the Virginia State Fair. Anderson recorded an album in the early 1960s and performed at some live venues.〔(Allmusic biography )〕 He appeared in the 1963 film ''The Bluesmen''. He reduced his activities in the late 1960s after a stroke. Attempts by folklorist Peter B. Lowry in 1970 to get Anderson on tape were not successful, although apparently he could occasionally summon up some of his past abilities. A final tour took place in the early 1970s with the aid of Roy Book Binder, one of his "students", taking him to Boston and New York. He died in October 1974, of a heart attack at the age of 74. He is interred at Lincoln Memorial Gardens in Spartanburg.〔(Dead Rock Stars website - accessed February 2008 )〕 Anderson's son, known as Little Pink Anderson (b. July 13, 1954〔Bio on the CD "Sittin' here singing the blues"〕), is currently a bluesman living in Vermillion, South Dakota. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pink Anderson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
