He died of an apparent accidental drug overdose in 1981. Inspired by Bloomfield Walker left San Francisco in 1969 to live in Chicago. But he was struggling with an excessive self-destructive lifestyle too so in 1975 he traded the blues for gospel music. “I had to find another way to live” Walker says.
