A prime influence on Little Richard during his formative years, Billy "Prince of the Blues"Wright' was a full-bodied R&B shouter delivery from Atlanta staple during the postwar years. Saxist Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams caught Wright's act when he shared a bill with Charles Brown and Wynonie Harris at Atlanta's Auditorium, recommending the teenaged singer to Savoy Records, on which label he had a string of hits.
