Charly Records 1988 CRB 1181
notes:
Born in New Orleans in 1937. His first successful release was on
Tiger records USA, a subsidiary label owned by Jerry Lieber
and Mike Stoller. They moved Alvin to Red Bird for his next
release; 'Fever'/ 'Down Home Girl'. Down Home Girl was the
'b' side and played more often at UK soul clubs, as Fever by
Little Willie John would take precedence on a DJ's play list,
due to the fact that these clubs (Wheel/Blue Note) preferred originals.
That said, Alvin's version of Fever is extremely good.
He played on Dr John Gumbo album.
