Charles Melvin Williams was born in Mobile, Alabama on July 24, 1910. The son of a church organist and a father who ran a gambling house, Williams attended his first band concert when he was three years old. On the way home from the park, his parents asked what he had heard: "Cootie, cootie, cootie", was his reply.

Now that's really nice, I've never heard this version of Sun Ra's, "Round Midnight". Surprisingly I liked Jarrett's version also, he never did much for me, my ear. | |

There's another Sun Ra version with June Tyson on vocals that's a little less raucous. You'll have to explain the "Jarrett problem" one day.
A version by...

I'm gravitated toward the Cootie Williams rendition. I could SO hear Mr.B sing this song behind Mr.Williams' arrangments, its right up his street. | |
