Charles Douglas "Charlie" Musselwhite (born January 31, 1944) is an American
electric blues harmonica player and bandleader, one of the non-black bluesmen who came to prominence in the early 1960s, along with
Mike Bloomfield and
Paul Butterfield. Though he has often been identified as a "white bluesman", he claims Native American heritage. Musselwhite was reportedly the inspiration for
Dan Aykroyd's character in the
Blues Brothers.
