Personalities | Big Al Downing | Rockabilly | Country
(Vocals, piano, 1940–2005)
One of the few black rockabilly performers, Downing – from Lenapah, Oklahoma – was in fact a musical chameleon who tried just about every style of popular music during his long career. While a member of The Poe-Kats he played piano on several Wanda Jackson rockabilly recordings, as well as cut rockers himself for different labels – without success. He charted in later years after re-inventing himself first as a soul and later a country artist. He died from leukaemia.
