His powerful voice and charismatic stage presence quickly earned him a devoted following, as audiences flocked to see the man they called the "King of the 12-String Guitar." Leadbelly's influence on the music world cannot be overstated. His unique blend of folk and blues helped pave the way for future generations of musicians, from Bob Dylan to The White Stripes. His songs, such as "Goodnight Irene" and "The Midnight Special," have become timeless classics, beloved by fans around the world.
