Paul Williams
Doin' The Hucklebuck CD

Saxophonist Paul Williams cut one of the biggest hits of 1949, The Huckle-Buck, which topped the US R&B charts for fourteen weeks.
A hugely influential disc, it was one of the first to employ the honking tenor sax solo which would become the hallmark of R&B and R&R during the 1950s.
This 27 track collection of his original recotdings also includes Paul Williams' other Rhythm & Blues hits Thirty-Five Thirty, The Twister, Waxey Maxie, Walkin' Around, House Rocker, He Knows How To Hucklebuck and Pop-Corn.
These recordings, all cut between 1948 and 1955, present a powerful body of work and feature notable musicians including Wild Bill Moore and Noble Watts (tenor saxes), Mickey Baker (guitar) and singers Larry Dale and Little Willie John.
