Johnny Watson (April 12, 1867 – November 1, 1963),[1] known as Daddy Stovepipe, was an American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player, best known for his recordings.

[2][3] He made more recordings back in Chicago in 1931 for the Vocalion label with his wife, "Mississippi Sarah", a singer and jug player.

[5] By 1948 he had returned to work as a street musician in Chicago, and was recorded in 1960, aged 93, with his repertoire having widened to include traditional popular music tunes such as "The Tennessee Waltz".

On May 5, 2012, the fifth annual White Lake Blues Festival took place at the Howmet Playhouse Theater in Whitehall, Michigan.
