Stevie Ray Vaughan is widely considered one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of blues music, and one of the most important figures in the revival of blues in the 1980s. AllMusic describes him as "a rocking powerhouse of a guitarist who gave blues a burst of momentum in the '80s, with influence still felt long after his tragic death." On August 27, 1990, Vaughan had just performed with Eric Clapton at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin. All of the musicians boarded four helicopters bound for Chicago, which were waiting on a nearby golf course. According to a witness, there was haze and fog with patches of low clouds. Despite the conditions, the pilots were instructed to fly over a 1000-foot ski hill. Vaughan, along with three members of Eric Clapton's entourage, boarded the third of the four helicopters. At about 12:50 am, the helicopter veered to the left and crashed into the hill, approximately fifty feet from the summit.All on board were killed instantly. Earning six Grammy Awards and ten Austin Music Awards, Stevie Ray Vaughan was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2000, and the Musicians Hall of Fame in 2014. Rolling Stone ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan as the twelfth greatest guitarist of all time.
