Of course technically, David lived thousands of years before the Blues were born out of the pain of the despised and downtrodden in the Mississippi Delta region of America in the early 1900s. But as Stephen Nichols points out in his book, Getting the Blues, David had the credentials born of his suffering, and by the repertoire he left behind, to be listed amongst the finest Blues singers. According to Nichols, “David and the blues artists have shared experiences, despite being divided by centuries, oceans, and languages. They even have shared responses to those experiences. These were men and women of sorrows”.​
