King Alex Littlejohn is one of the greatest pure blues singers performing today. Born in 1934, he was raised in Faraday, Louisiana where he was childhood friends with Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley, and Jimmy Swaggert. As a teenager, he moved to Kansas City where he lived in the 18th and Vine District. Inspired by that thriving music scene, he learned to play bass and sing the blues. He has played with a number of famous bluesmen, most notably, B.B. King. King Alex has been recording since 1959. In 1996 he played the Blues Estafette in Utrecht, Holland. There he signed with Black Magic Records and released the CD, "Hot As A Coffee Pot".

King Alex returned to Europe for a three week tour in 2002. While there, he obtained the remaining copies of "Hot As A Coffee Pot". Having previously sold out in America, these CD's would not last long. All songs were written by King Alex. His rich vocals are complimented by his driving band, The Untouchables, featuring Doug Hemphill (guitar), Charlie Booth (organ, piano), Robert Locke (drums), Kyle Caraway (guitar), Neil Nolan (tenor saxophone), Dave Duffield (cornet) and Carl Bender (tenor & baritone saxophone).
