Clearwater, born Edward Harrington in 1935 in Mississippi, died in his hometown of Skokie, the label, Alligator Records, said in a statement.

“Chicago has lost one of our legendary blues musicians, innovators and ambassadors to the world,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. “Clearwater leaves behind a lifetime of songs that gave a voice to the soul of the city that he loved.”
