Kelly Pace (born 1902 - ?) in Camden, Ouachita County, Arkansas, USA. In 1934 John Lomax with the help of Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly) made the first two recordings of "Rock Island Line", a song that would become world-famous later. The singer was a prisoner named Kelly Pace, who was doing five years for burglary. Pace would eventually contribute more than thirty performances to the Library of Congress archives. Lomax made additional recording trips to Arkansas prisons in 1939 and 1942, unaccompanied by Ledbetter. Read more on Last.fm
