PHOTO: JOHN FOGERTY & POPS STAPLES at CHARLEY PATTON'S GRAVE, Holly Ridge, Mississippi.
Photo at the dedication of Charley Patton's headstone, Holly Ridge, Mississippi, July 20, 1991. The event was organized by the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund. Fogerty, who paid for the headstone, told a reporter he likened the significance of Patton's music to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Patton was an inspiration to famed gospel singer Roebuck "Pops" Staples when both lived on the Dockery plantation.
