I Don't Want Nobody
Buddy Johnson And His Orchestra
Mercury Wing MGW 12111
1962
From the back cover: Elvis Presley, The Crew-Cuts, The Diamonds and the Platters! All big names who have contributed important chapters in the growth of rock 'n roll. Never in the history of the universe have teen-agers have more music or dance-conscious. All of these various styles that categorize rock 'n roll are contained in the person of Buddy Johnson, his sister and vocalist, Ella Johnson, and his tremendous band. This is the ideal Long Play record to stage the very successful teen-age dance party. Teen-agers will find everything from slow blues to mid-tempo "stroll" music, and even some wild, swingin' fast-tempoed instrumentals. The lyrics are crazy... the beat is crazy... teen-agers will be crazy about this one!!!
Meet The Artist
At the age of 18, Buddy came to New York from Darlington, South Carolina. Soon thereafter, he found himself working as a pianist at a number of small clubs. By 1939, his reputation and stature in his chosen profession enabled him to go to Europe with the Cotton Club Review. After a 4-month stay abroad, he returned to New York, and while literally running the scales of his piano ragged, during the next two years he managed to compose a few tunes. It was during this time that a record company executive heard some of his numbers, liked them and signed Buddy to a recording contract. Through his tours, Buddy Johnson has been crowned "King of the One Nighter Circuit" by the nation's dance promoters in their annual poll conducted by the Pittsburgh Courier.
