Flash Terry

Flash Terry (June 17, 1934 – March 18, 2004)[1] was an American guitarist and singer. Terry was notably instrumental in the birth of blues and blues rock in the state of Oklahoma.[2]

He was born Verbie Gene Terry in Inola, Oklahoma, United States.[1] Terry was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1994.[3] He most notably recorded "Enough Troubles of My Own".[1] He was the older brother of fellow musician Wiley Terry, who wrote and sang the 1964 hit, "Follow the Leader".
