Cripple Clarence Lofton - A Lost Recording Date
London AL-3521 United Kingdom 1954
Sleeve: Excellent Vinyl: Excellent
Clarence Lofton (1987-1957) was an integral part of the boogie-woogie genre in Chicago. Some of his more popular songs include: "Strut That Thing", "Monkey Man Blues", "I Don't Know" and "Pitchin' Boogie". His talent was likened to that of Pinetop Smith and other prominent boogie-woogie artists including: Meade Lux Lewis, Cow Cow Davenport and Jimmy Yancey. Though Lofton was born with a limp (from which he derived his stage name), he actually started his career as a tap-dancer.
With his distinctive performance style, Lofton found himself a mainstay in his genre: His first recording was in April with Big Bill Broonzy for Vocalion Records. He later went on to own the Big Apple nightclub in Chicago and continued to record well into the late 1940s, when he retired. Lofton lived in Chicago until he died from a blood clot in his brain.
Both sleeve and vinyl of this copy is in Excellent condition!
