		Lucius "Lucky" Millinder was born in 1900 in Anniston, Alabama.
		In March of that year the Millinder band was on a tour of the big R and B theaters such as the Howard in D.C., Royal in Baltimore, Uptown in Philadelphia, and the Regal in Chicago.
		Millinder's hit records were few, but the vast array of musicians that were part of his various bands, from Dizzy Gillespie to Tab Smith and many in between, made his bands a great incubator of talent in the jazz and the R and B fields.

		At age 17, Millinder was supposed to have spread a story around Chicago, where he grew up, that he was the son of a millionaire New York showman. As a result, it was reported that the owner of the Cotton Club in Cicero, IL hired him at a huge salary.
		Research showed that Millinder did front a band for a tour of RKO theatres in 1931, then took over leadership of "Doc" Crawford's orchestra in 1932 and appeared at the Harlem Uproar House in New York City.
		Some of the other jobs Millinder took were as a disc jockey on WNEW in New York City, a public relations agent, even as a clairvoyant and fortune-teller.

		Lucky Millinder could not read music, nor could he play any instrument, Millinder was not the only bandleader with little musical knowledge, Cab Calloway, Jimmie Lunceford, and Tiny Bradshaw were all bandleaders who waved a baton in front of a band,jumped around and maybe sang a song.
		Yet Lucky Millinder was a catalyst who could bring out the very best in many musicians he employed, and with his tremendous eye and ear for talent he hired an impressive range of top-notch instrumentalists and singers during his twenty years as a bandleader.
		Above all, Lucky Millinder was a fantastic showman, one that Count Basie in his autobiography ‘Good morning blues’ called ‘one of the best front men in the business, right up there, giving Cab Calloway and Willie Bryant some real competition’.

		Unlike other bandleaders like Count Basie, Chick Webb, and Duke Ellington who were all accomplished musicians, Millinder was more of a businessman/showman who did not play an instrument and simply fronted the band while occasionally singing.

	Lucky Thopmson Born 1924 (Columbia, SC.)
		Lucky Thompson was one of the great tenors to emerge during the 1940s and one of the first "modern" soprano saxophonists (taking up the instrument prior to John Coltrane and around the same time as Steve Lacy), but he was always a bit overshadowed by more spectacular players.
		After some local gigs, he moved to New York in the early '40s, playing briefly with Lionel Hampton and Don Redman in 1943, and Billy Eckstine and Lucky Millinder in 1944.
		Lucky Thompson completely dropped out of the music business (despite still being in his musical prime) and, other than a few rumors, has not been heard from since; a major loss to jazz.

		Then, in 1948, the Lucky Millinder band played a triple bill some say in Newark, some say Baltimore that included the Paul Williams Orchestra.
		Teddy Reig heard them play it and Williams wanted to record it but, says Teddy Reig, songwriter Andy Gibson had already sold the song to Lucky Millinder as "D'Natural Blues." This, ultimately, was no problem, as on December 15, 1948, Paul Williams and his Hucklebuckers recorded the tune with a new name.
		Millinder recorded it for RCA Victor, confident that his version would outsell any independent label version.

		He proved accomplished on the latter, blowing jazz in a variety of situations before latching on with Millinder's outfit in 1944 as both singer and saxist.
		His first 78 under his own name for Syd Nathan's fledgling Queen logo was "I Know Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well, "an answer to a popular Millinder tune from the year before that became a smash in its own right.
		Some of Jackson's hilariously risqué stuff -- "Big Ten Inch Record" and the astonishingly raunchy "Nosey Joe" (penned by the young but obviously streetwise Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller), both from 1952 -- were probably too suggestive to merit airplay, but they're stellar examples of jump blues at its craziest.
