Red Kelly over at "The 'B' Side" has a wonderful post on soul singer Len Wade, who has never had the recognition he deserves. Now that Len's music has been used in The Sopranos, maybe that's about to change.
I knew Len back in my Birmingham days. I think it was Bobby Mizzell who introduced me to him. I remember that he recorded a fabulous cover of Fats Domino's "Valley of Tears."
Somebody needs to get this guy back into a studio and get him booked at some blues festivals. At the very least, we need a Best of Len Wade compilation, the sooner the better.

Does anyone know how to find Bobby Mizzell?
If anyone knows how to contact Bobby, they ain't talking.
David, I played with Bobby a few times back in 66 at the Flintlock Inn in what is now Clear Lake Tx. Wow, talking about a name from the past! He could sure tear that piano up. Wonder where he's at and what he's up to? Thanks for the memory......smokey
