Contradiction in sources

[edit]

Apparently he was born in Autaugaville, Alabama and died on March 1, 2005: [1]. Then the allmusic link in the article does not give a date of death, but says he was born in Hernando, Mississippi[2]. Click on the name "George Butler" in the text and it links to "Dr. George Butler", born in Autaugaville, Alabama and died April 9, 2008. Are these all the same person, or different people? --Snigbrook (talk) 20:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion for sure - I think, as best I can find references for, that the current article now gives the correct information. Thanks,

George Wild Child Butler was NOT a blues guitarist. He was a blues vocalist and harmonica player. The date he passed is correct. I had the pleasure of knowing this man as his drummer for 6 years. He was a dear friend and this world has lost a true legend of the blues. His voice is matched by no one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.197.139 (talk) 05:04, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
