| 1983 - James Booker , pianist, vocalist and composer from New Orleans passed away on this day. Amongst the monikers Booker acquired during his career were 'The Black Chopin', 'Emporer of the Ivories' and 'The Piano Pope of New Orleans'. He toured with Joe Tex and Shirley and Lee. He recorded with such notables as Junior Parker, Bobby 'Blue' Bland, Ringo Starr and Aretha Franklin, who recorded his composition 'So Swell When You're Well'. Booker was a very colorful character and took a piece of the New Orleans piano tradition with him to the grave. |
