Joe Williams
Born in Cordele, Georgia in 1918, Joe Williams was essentially raised by his
mother and grandmother in Chicago. His first musical performances came as a
teenager singing in churches in gospel group the Jubilee Boys, going on to work
as a singer and a bouncer in Chicago clubs. His rich, tuneful baritone voice
soon attracted wider attention, leading him to launch his solo career in 1937,
occasionally performing with big bands led by Jimmy Noone and Les Hite. He went
on to tour with Coleman Hawkins, Lionel Hampton, Red Saunders and Andy Kirk.
