Freddy Robinson

Blues fans find out him as you of harp genius Small Walter’s studio room accompanists through the latter part of his tenure in Chess. Jazz aficionados know about him for the albums he do for Globe Pacific. Freddy Robinson continues to be one flexible guitarist over the years. Robinson performed both bass and acoustic guitar behind Walter at Chess circa 1959-1960. His personal recording profession commenced in 1962 having a jazz-laced instrumental pairing, “The Buzzard”/”The Hawk,” for King’s short-lived Queen subsidiary. He offered singing a go in 1966, slicing “Go-Go Young lady” for Checker (with Barbara Acklin and Mamie Galore assisting out as history vocalists). By 1968, he was documenting with pianist Monk Higgins as well as the Blossoms (Darlene Love’s vocal group) in LA for Cobblestone. Blues enthusiasts could find the materials Robinson cut to get a Stax LP in 1972 noteworthy; “In the Drive-In” and “Bluesology” are in-the-alley blues attempts that hark back again to the guitarist’s start in Chicago. Robinson later on documented for Al Bell’s ICA logo design.
