Although R&B singer Tommy Brown has been active in the music business for some 60 years, his records are hard to find. Brown was influenced by Nat King Cole, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway and T-Bone Walker. His first recording session resulted in 45's on Savoy and Regent. Altogether, Tommy Brown released a dozen singles under his own name. These ware mostly in the R&B and blues field. In the 1960s, Brown switched to comedy with success. In the new century, Brown returned to singing and toured in Europe in 2002. Most of his 1950s recordings are assembled on the compilation, but this does not include his 2 Imperial singles.

In 1951 his 'Weeping And Crying Blues' went to the top in Billboard R&B charts. Still actively touring and recording today, Tommy Brown is looking back on a lifelong career. This CD contains a nice set of well-performed r&b and blues tunes.

Discovered by the Griffin Brothers while touring in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1950, Brown recorded for Savoy Records in Atlanta under his own name -- with the Griffins' band in support -- before moving north to Washington, DC, to join the brothers in their touring and recording unit. His first Dot Records recording with the Griffin Brothers was a cover version of Dave Bartholomew's ‘Tra-La-La’, and it was a huge success, peaking at number seven in the R&B charts in August 1951. This was followed by an even bigger hit in December when Brown’s emotional ‘Weepin’ & Cryin’’ reached number three, and heralded a succession of such histrionic records. Leaving the Griffin Brothers in 1952, Brown returned to Savoy for one session billed as "Tommy 'Weepin’ & Cryin' Brown." He then recorded in a variety of blues and R&B styles for various labels -- King Records (including a vocal version of "Honky Tonk" with Bill Doggett), United (with Walter Horton), Groove, Imperial Records, and ABC Records. He remained a night club singer and comedian in Atlanta throughout the '60s and '70s and was last reported to be working in a nursing home.
