Fenton Robinson (23 September 1935, Greenwood, Mississippi ? 25 November 1997, Rockford, Illinois) was a blues singer and exponent of the Chicago Blues guitar. His signature song, "Somebody Loan Me a Dime" was covered by Boz Scaggs, but attributed to Scaggs himself, resulting in legal battles. The nationwide distribution of Robinson's own version of the song was aborted by a freak snow storm hitting Chicago. In the 1970s he was arrested and imprisoned for vehicular manslaughter. Paroled after nine months, he continued playing in Chicago clubs, and later taught guitar.
