Stevie Ray Vaughan belongs to the record of music as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Stevie Ray Vaughan as American blues guitarist (1954–1990).
Stevie Ray Vaughan was born at Dallas in 1954. His recorded nationality is the United States.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as guitarist, composer and singer-songwriter.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
Recognition followed: Grammy Awards.
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Stevie Ray Vaughan died in 1990, aged 36. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
