Yes..my favorite singer of all time and arguably the greatest American singer....born 100 years ago tomorrow in Philly... subsequently grew up in the whorehouses of Baltimore (ahh..Baltimore.....driving around not much has changed) before moving to NYC and being discovered by the "A&R"/talent scout John Hammond (Basie, Billie, Christian, Dylan, Aretha, Bob, Bruce, Stevie Ray Vaughan...etc)



April 7, 1915....
