Nappy Brown

US R&B and blues vocalist and pianist, b. October 12, 1929, Charlotte, NC, d. September 20, 2008 Charlotte, NC. Sang with The Selah Jubilee Singers before starting a solo career. Signed to Savoy 1954 to 1963.

Review: Nappy Brown took a break in his career, becoming a amnesiacal street person (or so he says). The bluesman resurfaced in 1984 and recorded Tore Up, an incredible work including probably the best known version of Bob Dylan's "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You." His guttural and soulful singing carries the songs over the finessed playing of The Heartfixers, which includes guitarrorist Tinsley Ellis.
