Description
Henry Roeland "Roy" Byrd (December 19, 1918 – January 30, 1980), better known as Professor Longhair or "Fess" for short, was an American singer and pianist who performed New Orleans blues. He was active in two distinct periods, first in the heyday of early rhythm and blues and later in the resurgence of interest in traditional jazz after the founding of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 1970. His piano style has been described as "instantly recognizable, combining rumba, mambo, and calypso".
Great Rhythm and Blues artist on Federal 78 rpm. You'll dig both sides with the New Orleans sound! Rockin' With Fes' is just what the name says, A great rocker by the master of the blues. I pack with 3 pieces of cardboard on both sides of the record. Pickup in Middletown, CT can be arranged. Very scarce record to find on the 78 rpm.
For some great 50's R&B, R&R and Doowop tune in Mondays at 7 and Fridays at 10am at oldiesnmoreradio.com Saturdays 8pm on wutc.org
