John Lee Hooker
John Lee Hooker@johnLeeHooker·
"Blues wasn't forced upon us like that religion, we brought this from home." This clip from Ryan Coogler’s record-breaking, 16-time nominated Academy Award-winning film SINNERS truly captures the essence of the Blues. Rooted in Mississippi juke joint tradition, it reflects the same raw emotion and lived experience that defined John Lee Hooker - turning Delta roots into a sound that still moves the world. The Blues is in our history, our ancestors, it is a sound born from struggle, carried by hope, and made meaningful by lived experience.

In the saddle, he was unstoppable. Every race day at Estate Nadir, his name lives on. Clinton E. Phipps — "Phippso" to those who knew him — wasn't just a jockey. He became one of the most accomplished jockeys in Virgin Islands history, bringing pride and recognition to our territory through countless victories and a legendary career defined by skill and heart. 🏇🇻🇮  #VIHistoryMonth #VILegend

Rest in Peace, @jimmycliff. I wore out his LP from the movie soundtrack, The Harder They Come, as a young boy growing up on St. Thomas. Rest well, and thank you for shining your Light brightly on Caribbean music and culture. #CarryOn
