Joseph Young Jr. (September 23, 1927 – March 24, 1999)
Born in Louisiana, Young grew up in Milwaukee. In his youth, he spent some time in Los Angeles as an amateur boxer before turning to music. In 1955, he moved to Chicago and spent a decade and a half scuffling in blues clubs, working as a sideman with Jimmy Rogers and Otis Rush, making occasional singles for small labels and acquiring along the way the sobriquet Mighty, an acknowledgment of his boxer's physique and an allusion to the 1940s monster movie Mighty Joe Young.
Since 1986 he seldom appeared in public and only as a singer, having lost sensation in his fingers after surgery for a pinched neck nerve. His death in hospital was caused by complications after an operation which he hoped would restore his playing ability.
(Mighty Joe Young was considered one of Chicago's most talented guitarists).
