1926 - Al King (Alvin K. Smith) was born on this day. A Blues singer and native of Monroe, Louisiana. He made his recording debut, ‘Homesick Blues’, in 1951. Two years later he led the Savoys, who recorded ‘Chop Chop Boom’ with saxophonist Jack McVea for Combo. In 1964, now calling himself Al King, he made ‘Reconsider Baby’, the record most closely associated with his name. He returned three decades later with two new albums, Blues Master and It’s Rough Out. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 75. |
