Biography

Amos Milburn (April 1, 1927 – January 3, 1980) was an American rhythm and blues singer, and pianist, popular in the 1940s and 1950s. He was born and died in Houston, Texas.

He was a polished pianist and performer and in 1946 attracted the attention of an enterprising woman who arranged a recording session with Aladdin Records in Los Angeles. Milburn’s relationship with Aladdin lasted eight years during which he cut over seventy-five sides. His “Down the Road Apiece” (1946), an early jump blues with a rocking Texas boogie beat that bordered on rock, was ahead of its time.
