"Chica-Boo" - Lloyd Glenn [Swingtime 254]
The song was recorded during November 1950 and was released as a single in May 1951, it went to number#1 on the R&B chart for 2 weeks. "Jungle Town Jubilee" was on the b-side.
Texan Lloyd Glenn (born 19th November 1909 in San Antonio) moved to California in 1947 and got work as the pianist on sessions for T-Bone Walker and Lowell Fulson.
This instrumental piece has Billy Hadnott on bass, Bob Harvey on drums and Earl Burton on bongos. The piano style was very influential and can be heard on the earlier records of Ray Charles.
On STAR BLUES on 30th January 2011 we took the track from the four disc anthology called "History of Rhythm & Blues 1942-1952" [RHYTHMandBLUES label]
