Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson
Known for his prematurely bald head and scratchy, wheezing vocals, Eddie
“Cleanhead” Vinson refused to be confined to either the jazz or the blues world.
Vinson was born in Houston, Texas, on December 18, 1917, and got his
professional start playing alto saxophone in the late 1930s in Milton Larkin’s
orchestra. After a quick stint with blues singer Big Bill Broonzy, Vinson added
vocals to his repertoire, which came in handy when he joined the Cootie Williams
Orchestra and sang lead on the songs “Somebody’s Got to Go” and “Cherry Red”,
which were popular during World War II.
