I guess the most famous person I know is Andre Williams... aka the Black Grandfather. He wrote "Shake a Tail Feather", produced albums with Ike and Tina Turner as well as with Stevie Wonder. He was actually living on the streets when he found out that the Blues Brothers used 'Shake a Tail Feather' in their movie. He got his shit together and started touring with canadain bands. I'm not sure I could even come close to explaining who he is or how he preforms-you'd have to know him. I think he has been described, at 65 years old, as the 'dirtiest man in rock and roll"...that still does'nt even explain it. Anyways, he crashed on my couch a few times when he was touring with my brother's band The Strap, previous to that he did a tour or two with The Sadies.
