b. 5 January 1929, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. Thomas’ first musical influences came from radio and records, and he started to play music himself while in the air-force. He sang with an R&B band during the early 50s and his first records were in that style, with strong touches of Roy Brown’s sound. A release on the Feature label in 1954 marked the beginning of a long, if intermittent, association with producer Jay Miller, during which they tried a wide range of styles, including blues and soul. Their most successful collaboration was ‘Hoodoo Party’, on Excello Records in 1962. In 1981, Thomas opened the Blues Box in Baton Rouge to showcase local artists; this has achieved an international reputation for regular appearances by Silas Hogan, Henry Gray and others, including Thomas’ own son Chris.
