Clarence Holliday was a solid, driving rhythm guitarist. He can be heard to best advantage on Fletcher Henderson's 1930 to 1934 recordings. To put him in perspective, you might compare his work with that of Freddy Green in the Count Basie Band. The Count's rhythm section is generally considdered the best, but Fletcher's compares very favorably thanks to Clarence.
The Billie Holiday page says he died in WWI, yet his page says he died in 1937 - which is correct?
