1913 - Smiley Lewis (Overton Amos Lemons) was born on this day. Pianist and singer from DeQuincy, Louisiana - "I Hear You Knocking". He was a lucky man in many respects. He enjoyed stellar support from New Orleans' ace sessioneers at Cosimo's, benefited from top-flight material and production (by Dave Bartholomew), and left behind a legacy of marvelous Crescent City R&B. He died in 1966. |
