The memory of Arbee Stidham (1917-1988) may have dimmed in recent years, but a half century ago he stood as one of America's major blues figures. The Arkansas-born, Chicago-based singer-guitarist hit the top of Billboard's "race" chart in 1948 with his recording of "My Heart Belongs to You" and recorded prolifically over the next two decades for a variety of labels. He retired from music in 1974.
