January 21, 200817 yr Author Its not him is it?he`s like J Henderix. The stuff I have heard by him remind me more of Little Johnny Taylor but they are 60's recordings, he might have gone more like Hendrix in the 70's

January 22, 200817 yr I have Chicken Heads on Galaxy and Do The Do on PIR 12 Inch.i Assume its the Same Chap..Who Knows different Yup, same guy. Still going strong on the Chitlin' circuit in the US. Famous for his large female dancers ("Bobby Rush likes 'em big") and his Southern hit 'Sue'. He has toured this side on the pond on many occasions, but mostly in France/Germany/Italy.
