Album Notes

Chick is probably best known for his 1972 best selling single "Stoop Down Baby, Let Your Daddy See" which sold over 3 million copies! His shows are full of hilarity and good times as his penchant for raucous humor has made him one of the most in-demand performers on the Blues and R&B circuit.

He began his musical career in the 50's touring with his cousin Chuck Willis , a rollicking R&B showman who became known as the "King of the Stroll".

Chick has performed with a variety of talents including Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and Jimmy Reed . He has many awards and honors including a Lifetime Honorary Membership from the Blues Foundation and an award of appreciation for Blues in School from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation of Washington DC. He has appeared on the cover of Juke Magazine and was featured in Living Blues with a 10 page spread in September/October 1999. He also received the Living Blues Award for "Artist Most Deserving of Wider Recognition" in 2000.


To date Chick has over a dozen recordings and has appeared in the movies "Petie Wheatstraw" and the Buddy Holly story. In addition to being a first rate guitarist and vocalist, Chick plays drums, keyboard, harmonica, and bass. Sometimes he plays the guitar with his tongue and under his legs. Anything is possible in his pursuit to electrify an audience with his dynamic stage presence. He is known as a huge crowd pleaser and always welcomed back wherever he goes.
