HAPPY WAINWRIGHT

HAPPY WAINWRIGHT war in den 50er und 60er Jahren ein Discjockey
bei Sendern wie WKRG (Alabama; 1955) oder WAAB (Alabama; 1959).
Daneben spielte er einige Singles in den 50er und 60er Jahren für Labels
wie X (4X-0131), Sandy (1004; August 1957), Carma (505-1; Oktober 1961)
oder 1965/66 für Capa Records (129; 132) ein.

Den ganz großen Durchbruch schaffte "Happy" Wainwright nicht, der im wahren
Leben als Herman Gene Wainwright am 5. November 1926 in der Nähe von
Perdido, Alabama, geboren wurde und bereits am 14. Oktober 1968 mit 41 Jahren
verstarb.
