I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Baby Scratch My Back - Johnny Perry and his Blues Band

There is no information that I can find on Johnny Perry. He made his debut recordings as a "jump blues" pianist bandleader in Chicago in 1949 for Rondo. In 1953 and '54 he recorded more singles in New York City for Rama, Jubilee & Atlas. Nothing else was heard from Perry until 1963 where he had left the "jump blues" behind and had moved into the direction of "soul blues". He dropped into Nashville and recorded one 45 for the Cherokee label that year. Disappearing from the recording studio once again, he turned up again in New York City in 1968 recording more 45's for Primus & Adell up until 1970. His last documented single was recorded for Styletone later in 1970, in Los Angeles.
