REPOST Request:  Of all the songs that Chilly Charles played on the KMOJ (Prince's intern station) regular "Back In The Days Of Soul" playlist on Sunday nights in college (for me), 'A Real Mother For Ya' in my estimate, was thee song that was played the most...hands down.  One of those songs that soothes the soul, talks the talk and hits the sore spots.  Per Discogs:  Real Name:  John Jacob Watson

Profile:Born: 3rd February 1935, Houston, Texas, USA.  Died: 17th May 1996, Yokohama, Japan.

Seminal electric blues & rhythm & blues guitarist of the mid-1950s, with hits like "Gangster Of Love". Performed with artists such as Little Richard and worked in synthesizer productions in the 1960s.

In later years his work was a source for sampling by artists such as Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. He also worked on a number of recordings and projects with Frank Zappa, who cites Watson: "Watson's 1956 song, 'Three Hours Past Midnight' inspired me to become a guitarist."

Watson learned the rudiments of music on the piano as a child. He took up the guitar on the agreement with his preacher grandfather that he would not use it to 'play the blues'. His family moved to Los Angeles in the '50s and, as a teenager, he cut his teeth playing guitar, piano and singing in local LA 'jump bands'. Watson collapsed and died onstage of cardiac infarction whilst performing in Japan.
