“Sonny Boy,” written and performed by Randy Newman; animation by John Erickson, Roger Miller, illustrator. The song is about brilliant Blues musician John Lee “Sonny Boy” Williamson (1914 – 1948), tragically killed on a Chicago sidewalk, whose identity was stolen by an Arkansas musician who lived long enough to reach an international audience in the Sixties.
