Teddy Darby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theodore Roosevelt Darby, better known as Blind Teddy Darby (born March 2, 1902 in Henderson, Kentucky; date of death unknown) was an American blues singer and guitarist.
He recorded from 1929 until 1937 under the names of "Blind Teddy Darby", "Blind Darby", "Blind Blues Darby" and "Blind Squire Turner" for the Paramount, Victor, Bluebird, Vocalion and Decca labels. In 1960 he was "rediscovered" and recorded by Pete Welding of Testament Records, yet the recordings from this session were never released.
His song "Built Right On The Ground" from the 1970s onwards has been covered (under the title of "I Never Cried") by quite a few other musicians, amongst them John Miller (who first changed the title), Roy Book Binder, Howard Bursen, and Phil Heywood.
