Kurz-Bio:
Der Blues-Pianist und Sänger Champion Jack Dupree wurde am 23. oder am 29. Oktober 1909 in New Orleans, Louisiana, als William Thomas Dupree geboren und verstarb am 21. Jänner 1992 in Hannover, in seiner Wahlheimat Deutschland, an einem Krebsleiden. In seiner Jugend war er auch Boxer, was ihm den Spitznamen "Champion" einbrachte.
