Talk:Bennie Smith

First Post!
After meeting Bennie and hearing his history, I did a bunch of searching on the internet and found a number of pages with information on him. These are pretty reputable sites and so am pretty confident on the information there. The web's not all bad, after all Wikipedia is here: quod erat demonstratum.

Sites to look at:

Moved to reference section of the article.

Since the significance of an artist often revolves around who his contemporaries are, here is a top 25 album list from the time the last album he recorded on came out (which happened to be his own).

What is the big deal for Inline Citations
How are inline citations any better than references, other than cluttering up article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.119.254.110 (talk) 02:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
