[mamba]

In no particular order:

Reverend Gary Davis
Robert Johnson
Howlin Wolf
Mississippi Fred McDowell
T-Bone Walker

 

[ba'al]

Buddy Guy
Cannonball Adderley (He was more jazz then blues though but he's a fellow Floridan so gotta put him in the top 5)
Little Richard
Etta James
Big Mama Thornton (Who Elvis Stole material from along with other black artists.)
But I agree with you Op, people tend to hop on the RIP bandwagon of artists they never really had interest in really. They did the same thing to Bobby Womack when he passed.

Stevie Ray

Stevie Ray. Man, get that outta here. He was good, but not in the same league as the all-timers.

Even his "original" songs were covers of Black excellence.



I like Stevie Ray, but he's overrated.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Man I ain't gon' front and act like I'm heavy into the Blues but my theme song is Smokestack lighting "WOOOOOOOOhooooooooooooooooooooo"
