Michael Coleman (blues musician)

Coleman was born in 1956 in Chicago, Illinois. As a teenager he played with the Top 40 showband Midnight Sun and with the blues musicians Aron Burton and Johnny Dollar on Chicago's North Side. In 2006, Coleman led a group of Delmark musicians on the album Blues Brunch at the Mart. Coleman was overweight and had diabetes, which severely affected his health. His doctor advised a change in lifestyle, and Coleman subsequently lost 150 pounds. Coleman died in November 2014, aged 58. ==Discography==
