Wayman Glasco, b. August 15, 1911 in Cordele, GA, d. January 31, 1976 in Brooklyn, NY. Brown played harmonica at local clubs and made a few recordings, including ‘I’m Gonna Make You Happy’ in 1943. Brown moved to New York in 1956 where he was discovered by Fire Records owner Bobby Robinson while working in a chicken and barbecue joint. In 1959, he recorded the archaic-sounding blues, ‘Fannie Mae’, whose tough harmonica riffs took it into the US Top 40. His similar-sounding ‘Sugar Babe’ (1961) was covered in the UK by Jimmy Powell. In later years he recorded for Checker Records and for numerous small labels including Serock, Gwenn and Astroscope.
