We’ve somehow managed to survive through July so far, eh? Well, July is a busy month in music history.
- One of the most important figures of the blues, Chicago blues especially, Willie Dixon was born on this day 110 years ago
- James Cotton was born on this day 90 years ago
- Syl Johnson was born on this day 89 years ago
- The B-52s Fred Schneider celebrates his 74th birthday today
- The iconic Debbie Harry celebrates her 80th birthday today
I’m a big fan of Evelyn “Champagne” King. In both of my DJ sets at Clem’s, I managed to throw in some deep cut King songs because they’re fun, funky, sexy — and they can get a crowd moving. King celebrates her 65th birthday today y’all. Yes, 65!
Happy birthday, legend!
