1910 - 'Champion' Jack Dupree was born on this day. Barrelhouse pianist from down home New Orleans. He was a formidable contender in the ring before he shifted his focus to pounding the piano instead, Champion Jack Dupree often injected his lyrics with a rowdy sense of down-home humor. But there was nothing lighthearted about his rock-solid way with a boogie; when he shouted "Shake Baby Shake," the entire room had no choice but to acquiesce. He died in 1992. |
