Bulee "Slim" Gaillard (January 4, 1916 – February 26, 1991), also known as McVouty, was an American jazz singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and vibraphonist, noted for his vocalese singing and word play in a language he called "Vout". (In addition to speaking eight other languages, Gaillard wrote a dictionary for his own constructed language.) 〔(Slim Gaillard, ''Vout-O-Reenee Dictionary'' ), Steven Polatnick, PoCreations, 1998-2010.〕 ==Early life== Along with Gaillard's date of birth, his family lineage and place of birth are disputed. One account is that he was born in Santa Clara, Cuba, of a Greek father and an Afro-Cuban mother;〔(Slim Gaillard's Biography. )〕 another is that he was born in Pensacola, Florida, to a German father and an African-American mother.〔("Slim Gaillard", Boogie Woogie Flu, April 20, 2007. )〕 Adding to the confusion, the 1920 U.S. Census lists a 19-month-old boy named "Beuler Gillard" in Pensacola, but born in Alabama.〔 〕 He grew up in Detroit and moved to New York City in the 1930s. According to the obituaries in leading newspapers, Gaillard's childhood in Cuba was spent cutting sugar-cane and picking bananas, as well as occasionally going to sea with his father. However, at the age of 12, he accompanied his father on a world voyage and was accidentally left behind on the island of Crete. After working on the island for a while, he made his home in Detroit. In America, Gaillard worked in an abattoir, trained as a mortician and also had been employed at Ford's Motor Works.
