Biography
Born William Warren in 1919 in the Mississippi Delta, Baby Boy Warren carried the raw emotion of country blues to Detroit, where his guitar work and smoky vocals became a fixture in the city’s club circuit.
He left behind a catalog of aching electric blues that later generations of musicians have kept alive, and his grave at Detroit Memorial Park East stands as a quiet reminder of the Motor City’s rich musical heritage.
