Kurz-Bio:
Der Jazz-Pianist, Songwriter und Bandleader T. J. Fowler wurde am 18. September 1910 in Columbus, Georgia, tatsächlich als T. J. Fowler geboren - seine drei Brüder hießen mit Vornamen E.J., K.C. and F.C., so etwas gibt es nur in den USA - und verstarb am 22 Mai 1982 in Detroit, Michigan. Etwa 1916 zog die Familie nach Detroit wo T. J. auch aufwuchs und seine musikalische Karriere begann.
