Larry Williams


The late Larry Williams, though born in New Orleans, recorded in Los Angeles for Art Rupe's Specialty label - the home of Little Richard. 

Spending a brief spell playing bass with Fats Domino's band, Larry had moved to the West Coast when he cut his biggest seller - Short Fat Fannie - and Bony Maronie (which appeared on the B Side).

A decade later Williams recorded with Johnny 'Guitar' Watson but never regained the magic of his early solo recordings.
