| Description: | In 2003, Mayor Slay signed a proclamation that declared October 5 BENNIE SMITH Day and declared Smith "dean of St. Louis electric guitarists." Though he's never found mainstream national fame like Ike Turner and Chuck Berry, Smith is considered by most to be one of the best blues guitarists around. In fact, Smith taught Ike a thing or two about playing guitar and backed Tina on her first single, "Boxtop." |
