Oxford, MS--Junior Kimbrough, born July 28, 1930, died this morning at age
67, due to heart failure. Junior was a respected musician and juke joint
proprietor from Holly Springs, MS.
Junior's first album, "All Night Long," brought both his talent, and the
efforts of the then-fledgling Fat Possum label to national acclaim. This
record was the first collaboration with music critic Robert Palmer, which
continued until Palmer's death late last year. Junior's other albums for
Fat Possum included, "Sad Days, Lonely Nights," and "Most Things Haven't
Worked Out."
He is survived by 36 children. Funeral services will be held on Saturday
at 12:00 PM in the Doxey Building at Rust College in Holly Springs, MS.
