Baby Boy Warren

Baby Boy Warren (born Robert Henry Warren; August 13, 1919, Lake Providence, Louisiana, USA – July 1, 1977, Detroit, Michigan) was an American blues singer and guitarist who was a leading figure on the Detroit blues scene in the 1950s. He was interested in music from an early age, and was working occasionally as a musician from around 1931, when he dropped out of school, having learned to play guitar from two of his older brothers. In the 1930s, he worked in W. C. Handy Park, Memphis, with Howling Wolf, Robert Jr. Lockwood and Little Buddy Doyle and he appeared on the radio show King Biscuit Time, broadcast from Helena, Arkansas, with Sonny Boy Williamson around 1941. In 1942, he moved to Detroit, where he worked for General Motors while also performing as a musician.
