Biography

American blues and R&B singer, b. August 15, 1911 in Cordele, Georgia - d. January 31, 1976. Best known for his hit "Fannie Mae". [b]Do NOT confuse with [a=B. Brown (6)].[/b] In the 1930s and 1940s he played harmonica at local clubs and made some non-commercial recordings, such as "War Song" and "I'm Gonna Make You Happy" (1943), recorded for the Library of Congress' Folk Music Archive. Brown moved to New York in 1956, where he was discovered by [l119314] owner [a119103]. In 1959 Brown recorded the rustic blues, "Fannie Mae", which went to # 38 in the U.S. Top 40, and to #1 on the R&B chart in April 1960. In later years he recorded for [l59374] Records and for numerous small record labels. One of his song, "Doctor Brown" was covered by [a=Fleetwood Mac] ([Link]). His song "Fannie Mae" enjoyed further attention in 1973 when it was included in the film American Graffiti and the best selling soundtrack [Link]. The songwriting credits for his songs, "Fannie Mae" or "Doctor Brown", may vary from one edition to another, with the credits sometime going to [a1384214]. It is claimed [a1384214] was his manager who bought his publishing rights after his death while other sources claim that was Buster Brown's real name. (BMI: IPI #: 55554374)
