Papa Charlie Jackson (November 10, 1887 – May 7, 1938) was an American bluesman and songster who accompanied himself with a banjo guitar, a guitar, or a ukulele. His recording career began in 1924. Much of his life remains a mystery, but his draft card lists his birthplace as New Orleans, Louisiana, and his death certificate states that he died in Chicago, Illinois, on May 7, 1938.

Born William Henry Jackson, he originally performed in minstrel and medicine shows. Read more on Last.fm
