That brings back some memories. I saw him a small club on Bourbon St. back in the 90s maybe? Some of those trips to New Orleans are a little fuzzy.

There were a lot of old guys who never really made it big but were incredible artists. Mostly self taught or grew up in a musical family.
I remember seeing an old timer sitting on the sidewalk in New Orleans playing a diddley bow and singing the blues. I could not believe a person could make so much music out of a 2 stringed instrument. I sat there for an hour or 2.

Most talented bluesman I’ve ever seen. Watch to the end. He could do a perfect harmonica impersonation with his mouth.

Mr. Henry was the opening act when the Beatles were still touring.
his performances in the UK in 1962 on a package tour with Bobby Vee, Tony Orlando and the Springfields, brought him an invitation to tour the US and Canada with the Beatles in 1964, making him an astonished witness to the first wave of Beatlemania in North America.
