BCB Band sings Midnight Special by Lead Belly.

Huddie William Ledbetter, (January, 1888 -- December 6, 1949) was an American folk and blues musician, notable for his clear and forceful singing, his virtuosity on the twelve string guitar, and the rich songbook of folk standards he introduced. He is best known as Leadbelly or Lead Belly. Though many releases list him as "Leadbelly," he himself spelled it "Lead Belly." This is also the usage on his tombstone, [1][2] as well as the Lead Belly Foundation.

Although he most commonly played the twelve string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, concertina, and accordion. In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar. In other recordings he just sings while clapping his hands or stomping his foot. The topics of Lead Belly's music covered a wide range of subjects, including gospel songs; blues songs about women, liquor and racism; and folk songs about cowboys, prison, work, sailors, cattle herding and dancing. He also wrote songs concerning the newsmakers of the day, such as President Franklin Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Jean Harlow, the Scottsboro Boys and multi-millionaire Howard Hughes.

Lead Belly's vast songbook, much of which he adapted from previous sources, has provided material for numerous folk, country, pop and rock acts since his time. Examples:

ABBA recorded both "Pick A Bale Of Cotton" and "Midnight Special"
Pete Seeger's band The Weavers had a hit with "Goodnight Irene" the year after Lead Belly's death
The Animals had a hit with "The House of the Rising Sun" in 1964 and See See Rider in 1966
Ram Jam recorded Black Betty in 1977
Creedence Clearwater Revival recorded a popular version of "Midnight Special" and "Cotton Fields" in 1969
Mark Lanegan covered "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" for his album The Winding Sheet (1990), with Kurt Cobain participating
Nirvana covered "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" in 1993 on their MTV Unplugged performance. Kurt Cobain prefaces the song by referring to Lead Belly as "my favorite performer... our favorite performer". Cobain also mentions an offer that was made to him by a man representing the Lead Belly estate to buy Lead Belly's guitar for $500,000. Nirvana's 2004 boxed set With the Lights Out contains four Lead Belly covers: "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"; "They Hung Him On A Cross", "Ain't It A Shame" and an instrumental cover of "Grey Goose".
Davy Graham covered "Leavin' Blues"
Harry Belafonte covered "Sylvie" (attributed to Huddie Ledbetter and "Paul Campbell," a collective pen name[6] for The Weavers) for his album Belafonte at Carnegie Hall (1959).
The Rolling Stones adapted "The Bourgeois Blues" for "When The Whip Comes Down".
Van Morrison's first performance as a child was "Good Night, Irene", and he later recorded the song with Lonnie Donegan. In the title track to Morrison's Astral Weeks, the lyrics that refer to Lead Belly: "Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter/Showin' pictures on the wall/" seem to be based on Morrison's real life custom of carrying around a poster of Lead Belly and hanging it on the wall wherever he was living. This was revealed in a Rolling Stone interview in 1978, where Morrison refers Lead Belly as "my guru".[7] He also mentions Lead Belly in the lyrics to his 1982 semi-autobigraphical song "Cleaning Windows" alongside other blues musicians that inspired Morrison in his youth.
Bryan Ferry also covered "Good Night, Irene" for his album, "Frantic"
Nigel Blackwell impersonates Lead Belly in the Half Man Half Biscuit song "24 Hour Garage People"
Led Zeppelin adapted 'Gallis Pole' into 'Gallows Pole' on their third album
Weddings Parties Anything have recorded 'Bourgouis Blues'
Rory Gallagher covered 'Western Plain', his version going by the title 'Out On The Western Plain'
