A RARE UK ISSUE BLUES - BOOGIE 78 FROM BLIND JOHN DAVIS
YOUR LOVE BELONGS TO ME (Vocal blues & rhythm)
b/w MAGIC CARPET (Boogie woogie piano)Blind John Davis (December 7, 1913 – October 12, 1985) was an American blues and boogie-woogie pianist and singer.
Davis was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and relocated with his family to Chicago at the age of two. Seven years later he had lost his sight. In his early years Davis backed Merline Johnson, and by his mid-twenties he was a well-known and reliable accompanying pianist. Between 1937 and 1942, he recorded with Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Boy Williamson I, Tampa Red, Red Nelson, Merline Johnson, and others. He also made several records of his own.
Having played in various recording sessions with Lonnie Johnson, Davis teamed up with him in the 1940s.[6] He recorded later on his own. His "No Mail Today" (1949) was a minor hit. Most of Doctor Clayton's later recordings featured Davis on piano.
He toured Europe with Broonzy in 1952, the first blues pianist to do so. In later years Davis toured and recorded frequently in Europe, where he enjoyed a higher profile than in the United States.
