Johnny Otis,is definitely one legend in it self,not to mention style his definitely is own,I remember when I was a kid, watching him,on b& w TV,along with Mel Williams and the 3 tons of Joy
In 1954-1955 I was living in Lynwood, California, across the alley from a small family-owned market. The family lived above the market and, every afternoon, the teen-aged son would come home from school and practice playing his tenor sax. All he ever played was "Harlem Nocturne," over and over and over, again. He was damned good at it, and I enjoyed listening to that beautiful song, for about an hour, each day. I never grew tired of hearing it.
