Hallo,
ich hatte mich nach T. Tucker erkundigt.
Es konnte einiges recherchiert werden:
Der schwarze Musiker u. Sänger Tommy Tucker verstarb am 22.01.1982 durch einen Unglücksfall, als er beim Renovieren seines Hauses in Newark/New Jersey giftige Dämpfe eines Lösungsmittels einatmete.
In der BRD trat er am 24.05.1975 (Tournee der "American Blues Legends") in Hamburg u. am 07./08.11.1977 im "Onkel Pö" in Hamburg auf. Beide Konzerte wurden vom NDR aufgezeichnet.
Ein Artikel über Tucker ist im englischen Blues-Magazin "Blues Unlimited" Nr. 116/1975 erschienen.
Tee Tucker war Tommy Tucker unter Pseudonym. Er war seit ca. 1951 als Pianist, Klarinettist und Sänger Mitglied in einigen Bands bzw.
