Albert Ammons was born on September 23 in 1907, and he passed away on December 2, 1949. He was the king of boogie-woogie which swept the United States from the late 1930s into the mid 1940s, and is still popular today.

Albert was one of the greats! We'll miss him.
BMV, thanks so much for leaving a comment. And I agree, I wish there were more young talanted Boogie Woogie piano players.
I hope that this kind of blues music becomes popular again.
