He got in a street fight being a known hot head, got beat up so bad he died
Skip James first recorded around 1930, this is from his rediscovery in the 60's. Kinda unique for early Mississippi blues.
No he didn't. He died of natural causes unrelated to the fight.
Another post, another mistake.
Death
A few months after returning from his second European tour, Little Walter was involved in a fight while taking a break from a performance at a nightclub on the South Side of Chicago. He apparently sustained only minor injuries in this altercation, but they aggravated the damage he had suffered in previous violent encounters, and he died in his sleep at the apartment of a girlfriend, at 209 East 54th Street in Chicago, early the following morning.
No fight, no death.
Rookies sheesh~~~~~
Another.... Today marks 49 years since harmonica pioneer “Little Walter” Jacobs died as a result of injuries he sustained during a fight at a Chicago bar the previous night (he was taking a break from performing when the altercation occurred). The 37-year-old, Louisiana-born musician was a hard drinking, hard living man with a notoriously bad temper, and the nature of his death surprised few people at the time.

The official cause of death on his death certificate was coronary thrombosis (a blood clot in the heart). Evidence of external injuries was so insignificant that the police reported that his death was due to "unknown or natural causes", and no external injuries were noted on the death certificate.
Rookies Sheesh indeed. Old, dumb, ugly and gay is no way to go through life.
