Curly at 5 star INFO ON CRUDUP > Crudup never made much money off of his recordings "even after he was making records Îmade most of his money from day jobs. During most of his years of R&B fame he worked as a porter in a West side liquor store.â" (Living Blues (LB) N16 SP 1974) He also never reaped all of the benefits of his writing. Crudup wrote, """Thats ALL Right """and "My Baby Left Me" years before Elvis Priestly recorded them for Sun records in 1954. The songs became instant successes, and this "established Big Boy as the ÎFather of Rock and Rollâ (LB Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup was born in Forrest, Mississippi in 1905. Crudup spent his childhood in Forrest, Mississippi and later Indianapolis, Indiana where he started working at the age of thirteen when his mother fell ill. He returned to Forrest in the Mid 1920's married and started farming. He and his wife eventually separated freeing Crudup from his settled life. He than began running from juke joint to juke joint, wherever he could get a gig. He traveled up north in the mid 1930's and eventually ended up in Chicago. Times were hard for Crudup in the beginning. He lived in a packing crate under the "L" train in Chicago when he first arrived in Chicago. Eventually Crudup was discovered by "Big" Bill Broonzy, an established blues musician who set up gigs for Crudup. After his discovery Crudup was seen at a South side house party by talent scout Lester Melrose.
