	Smokey Joe Williams
		Joseph Williams (April 6, 1886 - February 25, 1951), also nicknamed "Smokey Joe", has been considered by many baseball historians to be one of the game's greatest pitchers, even though he never played a game in the major leagues.
		Williams was born in Seguin, Texas; one of his parents was African-American and the other was a Comanche Indian.
		Records are sketchy, but we know that in 1914, Williams won a total of 41 games against just three losses, and had many other seasons where he won well in excess of 20 games.

	Oldies.com : Joe Williams
		Williams began his musical career singing in a gospel group in Chicago and by the late 30s was performing regularly as a solo singer.
		For the next few years, records by the band with Williams in powerful voice were hugely successful and, coming at a period when Basie's band was at a low commercial ebb, it is hard to say with any certainty who needed whom the most.
		Considered one of the last great big band singers (he fronted bands conducted by both Lionel Hampton and Count Basie), Joe Williams achieved success as a solo singer in the mid-'50s and was equally welcome in both the jazz and blues worlds.

	CD Review of Joe Williams - Havin' A Good Time! on Hyena Records @ jazzreview.com
		And so it is telling, for Williams, the consummate jazz singer, is presented in the environment upon which he had built his much of his career—inside the nightclub.
		Williams opens that unforgettable night of the benefit of the few who showed up with the blues swing of “Just A Sittin’ And A Rockin’” and moves into yet another blues, “Kansas City Blues,” this one featuring more of Mance and Webster.
		And then Williams, the consummate professional, as were the rest of the musicians with him, delivered a memorable performance throughout the rest of the evening, as powerful in its own way as if the singer had sung in an auditorium of 2,000 ticket holders.
