Boogie Woogie Rhythm & Blues
Boogie Woogie has the natural ability to make you wanna tap your toes, shake your hips and just all around feel good!

Amos Milburn, Pt. 2 – 1950-56
Amos Milburn was the complete package. He could play boogie woogie piano with the best of ’em, having been influenced by the great Pete Johnson. He sang the smoky R&B ballad almost as well as his buddy Charles Brown and he could shout the blues alongside Roy Brown and Wynonie Harris.
