Hubert Sumlin, the guitarist whose slashing solos and innovative ideas galvanized the blues of Howlin’ Wolf and inspired rock guitar players like Jimmy Page, Robbie Robertson and Eric Clapton, died on Sunday in Wayne, N.J. He was 80.

You need to fix the title! It isn't Howling Wolf, but Hubert Sumlin who just died. Howlin Wolf died in 1976!

Was fortunate enough to see Mr. Hubert Sumlin several times the past few years. Sweet man and good natured as can be. He will be missed by many.
