Big Joe Williams, not the delta bluesman, but the KC jump blues shouter.  I wish there were more video of him around.  I know that he played on the Johnny Carson show almost monthly in the late 70s, but I haven't found many videos of him.  He had a great mellow voice, and could really swing.  He is more associated with jazz, but anyone who played with the Count as much as he did could be considered a bluesman.
