Der Jazz-Sänger Joe Williams wurde am 12. Dezember 1918 in Cordele, Georgia, als Joseph Goreed geboren und verstarb am 29. März 1999 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Joe Williams wuchs in der South Side von Chicago auf. Als Jugendlicher sang er bereits in einer Gospel-Gruppe und ab den späten Dreissigern war er in Chicago als Sänger und "Bouncer" (Türsteher) in diversen Clubs tätig.
