About

American blues drummer, vocalist and songwriter born on October 17, 1945 as the tenth child of nineteen siblings to a seasonal sharecropper and his wife. He started playing drums and was first influenced by Lowell Fulson’s record Black Knight.
In 1964 he came to Los Angeles where he hooked up with Phillip Walker as a featured singer doing a James Brown act singing top ten hits of the times. Later, he became a drummer with Phillip’s band and began traveling the world.

Along the way, he played with other artists such as Floyd Dixon, Robert Cray, Johnny Otis, The Five Royals, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, and the late Lowell Folson and Johnny Copeland.
