	Little Willie John
		Little Willie John, real name William J. Woods (born November 15, 1937) is an American singer, best known for his versions of "All around the World" (1955, Titus Turner), "Suffering with the Blues", "Need Your Love So Bad", "Fever" (1956, more famously covered by Peggy Lee in 1958), "Sleep" (1961) and "Let Them Talk".
		Known for his alcoholism and erratic behavior, as well his insecurity regarding his 5'4" height, Little Willie John died in May 1968 at Washington State Prison in Walla Walla, Washington; he had been imprisoned for stabbing a man to death in October 1964.
		Little Willie John was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

	Reviewig Influences: Little Willie John, Albert Ayler
		After murdering a man at an after-hours private party in Seattle, John was sentenced to 20 years at Walla Walla, WA penitentiary, where he died in 1968 at age 31, reputedly from the beatings he suffered there.
		Whereas Little Willie John put his voice at the service of commercial songs about heartbreak and pain in typical song-formula structure, Ayler's intense sound conveys a more personalized and highly ambiguous conflict between the extreme joy and extreme pain of just being alive.
		Plus, like Little Willie John, his extra-music life was somewhat off-putting: his death was not peaceful, ending up in the East River under mysterious circumstances, and, though quite the flamboyant dandy in attire and demeanor (again like Little Willie), he was, by all reports, a gentle and sensitive soul.

		HE LOOKED LIKE he just stepped off the top of a wedding cake — a dapper, smooth-faced little man in a tailored suit topped off with a snappy homburg hat.
		But when he opened his mouth and sang his songs, it was apparent that this David had the voice of Goliath.
		Inescapably called "Little" all his life, Willie John did his best to live as "big" a life as possible, and proving this bigness led to his tragic end.

		Little Willie John - The Best of Little Willie John
		A wonderful blues and R&B vocalist during the '50s, Little Willie John had the kind of unforgettable, striking voice and charismatic personality that made each song he did immediately distinctive and often magnificent.
		A greatest hits package doesn't do him justice, since many of his finest songs were interpretative numbers on King albums, but anything that puts any of his music into circulation is worth it, even a sampler like this that's strictly basic and pro forma, and also doesn't really sound that great.
