Little Willie John:

Free At Last:(1976)

Grits and Soul:(1985)

While Little Willie John's career only ran from 1955 to 1963, when he was incarcerated, his impact was felt. I first heard his name when Need Your Love So Bad was featured in a movie. There's an excitement in Willie's voice that few have matched. These two records are later compilations, but they certainly deliver as documents of Little Willie John's power.
