Biography

Wayman Glasco, 15 August 1911, Cordele, Georgia, USA, d. 31 January 1976, Brooklyn, New York, USA. Brown played harmonica at local clubs and made a few recordings, including "I'm Gonna Make You Happy" in 1943. Brown moved to New York in 1956 where he was discovered by Fire Records owner Bobby Robinson while working in a chicken and barbecue joint. In 1959, he recorded the archaic-sounding blues, "Fannie Mae", whose tough harmonica riffs took it into the US Top 40. His similar-sounding "Sugar Babe" (1961) was covered in the UK by Jimmy Powell. In later years he recorded for Checker Records and for numerous small labels including Serock, Gwenn and Astroscope.
