About
Johnny "Man" Young (January 1, 1917 – April 18, 1974) was an American blues singer, mandolin player, and guitarist, significant as one of the first of the new generation of electric blues artists to record in Chicago after the Second World War. He was one of the few mandolin players active in blues music in the postwar era. His nickname, Man, came from his playing the mandolin.
