Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

One bright and guiding light,
That taught me the wrong from right,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Those baby tales she told,
All roads are paved with gold,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Just like a wandering sparrow, one lonely soul,
I walk the straight and narrow, to reach my goal.

God's gift sent from above,
One real, unselfish love,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Just like a wandering sparrow, one lonely soul,
I walk the straight and narrow, just to reach my goal.

God's gift sent from above,
One real, unselfish love,
I found in my mother's eyes.
