Billy Wright (May 21, 1932 – October 28, 1991)〔 was an American jump blues singer. Wright is considered one of Little Richard's primary influences.
==Biography==
Billy Wright was born in Atlanta, Georgia. As a child, Wright excelled in at singing gospel music in his local church, but developed as a blues musician when he began performing in Atlanta's 81 Theater. Saxist Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams caught Wright's act when the two shared a bill with Charles Brown and Wynonie Harris, and recommended him to record producer Herman Lubinsky of Savoy Records. Throughout his career, he was known as the "Prince of the Blues."〔 He was a key figure in Atlanta blues after World War II and had a major influence on rock and roll pioneer Little Richard, whom he helped get his first recording contract.〔White, Charles. (2003). ''The Life and Times of Little Richard: The Authorised Biography.'' p. 25. Omnibus Press〕
He recorded his last recordings in 1959. He continued to do shows around Atlanta until he suffered a stroke, and then died of a pulmonary embolism,〔(Thedeadrockstarsclub.com ) - accessed July 2010〕 just before his 1991 Halloween Show at the Royal Peacock in Atlanta.
