Though you may not know the man, you probably know his music.
Arkansas-born Louis Jordan's songs like "Baby, It's Cold Outside,"
"Caldonia" and "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" can still be
heard today, decades since Jordan ruled the charts. In his
five-decade career, Jordan influenced American popular music, film
and more and inspired the likes of James Brown, B.B. King, Chuck
Berry and Ray Charles. Known as the "King of the Jukeboxes," he and
his combo played a hybrid of jazz, swing, blues and comedy music
during the big band era that became the start of R&B.
In a stunning narrative portrait of Louis Jordan, author
Stephen Koch contextualizes the great, forgotten musician among his
musical peers, those he influenced and the musical present.
