Comments
Rhythm & blues singer and songwriter. A consistent hitmaker in the heyday of post-war R&B, his songs were often anthems celebrating the joys of sex and alcohol, and he lived up to the part he created, a hell-raiser who helped establish the template of the outrageous rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.
