He was a major influence on R&B singers in the ’60s but nobody much knows about him today… maybe because he stabbed a man to death and died in prison at the tender age of 30…. that’ll kick your career in the butt.

Of course, the most famous version of “Fever” belongs to Peggy Lee.  She recorded it in 1958 and the lyrics were considered quite racy at the time… hence, its popularity.  I always thought her rendition was pretty boring, except for the finger-snapping (cool).  So our performance of the song runs more along the lines of Micahel Buble.  It’s a little weird, but interesting, I think.  The backup tracks are on the Jazz/Swing list.
