Paul Hereford Oliver MBE (25 May 1927 – 15 August 2017) was an English architectural historian and writer on the blues and other forms of African-American music.[1][2] He was equally distinguished in both fields, although it is likely that aficionados of one of his specialties were not aware of his expertise in the other.[3] He wrote some of the first scholarly studies of blues music, and his commentary and research have been influential.
