103- "I'm Tore Up" by Billy Gayles.
Johnny Otis, the man that gave the 13 year old Etta James her start with the Peaches and their raunchy little hit, "Dance With Me Henry". She didn't sound like a 13 year old on that record. She, like Richard Pryor grew up in a brothel and was supposedly the daughter of Minnesota Fat's. Otis's near constant touring with his "Rock N' Roll Review's" brought the music to the masses.
Johnny was no saint. He swiped Bo Diddley's rhythm and turned it into a number called "Willy And The Hand Jive". He later formed a band with his young son, Shuggie, and called it "Snatch And The Poontang's". Karma got him when Frank Zappa stole his facial hair style in the mid-60's figuring, "If it work's for Johnny Otis, it could work for me." Two Greeks with same facial hair, why not?
