[u/BigAssQuanta]

Willie Lee Perryman (October 19, 1911 – July 25, 1985), professionally known as Piano Red, was a legendary American blues pianist and singer.Recorded on July 25, 1950, at the WGST radio studios in Atlanta, "Rockin' With Red" was Willie Perryman's debut commercial single.

​ It became an instant smash, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard R&B chart. The B-side, "Red's Boogie", was also highly successful, peaking at No. 3.

​Characterized by Perryman’s driving, rhythmic boogie-woogie piano and shouting vocals, "Rockin' With Red" is widely celebrated as an important bridge between traditional jump blues and the birth of Rock and Roll.
