Willard Chamberlain
Willard Chamberlain (Saxophone) played in one of Johnny Winter first band : Johnny Macaroni and the Jammers. Probably Edgar Winter on piano here.
This Citation label is out of Beaumont, Texas and unrelated to any other labels of similar names.
I REALLY want to know who first came up with that little 'creeping around' theme that is turned into variations here. I've tracked it back to "Old Man Mose", which dates to the 1920s, but I don't know who actually composed it.
ReplyDeleteHere's Betty Hutton's 1939 version of "Old Man Mose":
