Lazy Lester, born Leslie Johnson, was an influential American blues musician whose career spanned over six decades. Known for his laid-back, swamp blues style, he contributed significantly to the Louisiana blues scene, and his harmonica playing and soulful vocals became his signature sound. His most notable works include hits like "I'm a Lover Not a Fighter" and "Sugar Coated Love". Lester's music had a profound influence on subsequent generations of blues and rock musicians.
