They will certainly help

Some short answers:
1) SRV impacted the industry by sparking a blues revival in the mid 80's (among many other things, such as raw, passionate guitar in a sea of 80's widdlers)
2) Albert King, Buddy Guy and Hendrix in particular but Stevie drew on some pretty wide influences in the blues and rock vein.
3) Los Lonely Boys, Kenny Wayne Sheperd, Jonny Lang, Indigenous, Chris Duarte, even Clapton has stated SRV as having an impact on his playing. And let's face it most guitarists in the world owe a debt to SRV

Good luck, let us know if you need any other info.

I know it's 8 days after the fact, but another of Stevie's big influences was Lonnie Mack, known for his 50s hit instrumental, Wham!. John Mayer is another player that Stevie had a huge influence on. Mike McCready of Pearl Jam. Cross Canadian Ragweed has listed him as an influence, as has Robert Randolph. Besides ZZ Top, he was the main guy out there that had blues in his style at that time. After that, guys like Robert Cray, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Los Lobos all had hits. I think Stevie was the guy that busted the door down. And when he died, blues-based music lost its flag carrier, so to speak, and it lost momentum.
