Oscar Washington
Oscar Douglas Washington (c. 1912 – 2004/05) was an American songwriter, guitarist, school teacher and record label owner.〔( Library of Congress Catalog of copyright entries ). Accessed 16 April 2012〕 He is credited as co-writer of the jazz and rhythm and blues classic "Night Train",〔( BMI Repertoire Search, "Night Train" ). Accessed 16 April 2012〕 and was also influential in the early career of Chuck Berry.
==Career==
By the early 1950s, Washington was working in St Louis, Missouri as a school teacher and guitarist.〔 There he collaborated with saxophonist Jimmy Forrest on the composition of "Night Train", which became a number 1 R&B hit in 1952. Most sources credit Washington with writing the lyrics of the song. He also recorded under the name Faith Douglass.〔(Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebooks, The Regals ). Accessed 16 April 2012〕
In 1953, he started the small independent Ballad record label in St Louis.〔 The label released a series of doo-wop singles by the Swans, which had some regional success.〔(J.C.Marion, Forgotten Sessions, Ballad Records ). Accessed 16 April 2012〕 After hearing an unrecorded guitarist, Chuck Berry, playing in clubs, he persuaded Berry to make his first record as part of another group, Joe Alexander & the Cubans. They released a calypso record, "Oh Maria", in 1954, which was co-written by Washington.〔 It has been suggested that Berry played guitar on the record, though Berry later denied any involvement. Although Washington did not continue to work with Berry,〔( Bruce Pegg, ''Brown Eyed Handsome Man: The Life And Hard Times Of Chuck Berry'', Routledge, 2005, ISBN 0415937515, pp.27-29 )〕 he continued to release occasional records on the Ballad label until the late 1950s.〔 In the late 1960s, he was involved in the small SaintMo label, which also released several singles with little success.〔(SoulfulDetroit.com, SaintMo Records ). Accessed 16 April 2012〕
Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) credits Washington with 70 compositions as a songwriter, including "Night Train".〔( BMI Repertoire Search, Oscar Washington ). Accessed 16 April 2012〕
