CINCINNATI (AP) — Robert Ferguson, a pioneer blues shouter known as “H-Bomb” because of his booming voice, died Sunday. He was 77.

He had been in ill health the past year and died of complications from emphysema and cardiopulmonary disease after a short stay at Hospice of Cincinnati, said a family friend, the Rev. Julia Keene.

Ferguson, whose recording of “Good Lovin”’ was awarded a gold record in 1952, quit music in the 1970s but resumed performing in the mid-1980s. Ferguson sang and played piano in a flamboyant style, wearing colorful wigs.

His early works were featured in the recent reissue “H-Bomb Ferguson: Big City Blues, 1951-54.”

It includes the hit “Good Lovin”’ and “Rock H-Bomb Rock,” both from 1952. “Rock H-Bomb Rock” also was included last year in the elaborate box set called “Atomic Platters: Cold War Music From the Golden Age of Homeland Security.”

I may have seen him at one of the last ten Chicago Blues Festivals, but it's hard to keep track of the semi-obscure bluesmen that get booked for the fest.
