    David Doppelt This is 16 year old Will Jacobs winning performance at the 2009 Chicago Blues Challenge. He is very talented and has a voice that sounds older then his 16 years and is very soulful. Another musician accused him of impersonating an adult. He is headed down to Memphis to compete in the International Blues Challenge sponsored by The Blues Foundation.
