Little Willie John five Classic R&B Albums from Avid Records

AVID welcomes Mister Little Willie John to its R&B Classic Albums Hall of Fame. With such a legendary and tragic figure as Little Willie John we thought we should just let the facts, the stats and the music (his remarkable voice) speak (or sing) for themselves. An inductee into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Blues Hall of Fame, The R and B Hall of Fame both as singer and songwriter, The Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame. Most famously a million selling number one self written hit with Fever (covered by Peggy Lee). Huge hits with songs with All Around The World, Talk To Me Talk To Me (also a million seller), Need Your Love So Bad (covered by Fleetwood Mac), Leave My Kitten Alone (covered by The Beatles) and Sleep. Fourteen entries into the Billboard Top 100. The final part of the jigsaw is the music. Possibly due to his tragically short life, the music has been somewhat forgotten in favour of the story of that short life. AVID stand ready to redress that perception across the five classic albums featured on this wonderful tribute to a truly great singer, Little Willie John. Listen and wonder.
