Country Big Al Downing was born into a family of 12 brothers and two sisters on January 9th, 1940. At the age of 10, he taught himself to play an old upright piano with 40 working keys that was given to his parents, Tollie and Flora Downing. Inspired by Big Al's talent on the piano, his two sisters Mardella and Lilly (now deceased) learned to play Gospel piano and two of his brothers, Walter and Don, both became well known entertainers. Big Al spent his early childhood tending to horses and cattle his family raised, and singing with two of his brothers, his father, and a sister in a Gospel group. He spent his early years listening to Country music and saw no reason why a black man couldn't achieve success as a Country musician. He told the Boston Herald in 1998, "I grew up in Oklahoma hauling hay, riding horses and doing all the things country folk do. So how can anyone say Country music is white?" By the age of 14, he was performing at community functions and high school proms. His greatest influence early on was Fats Domino, and it was his impression of his idol singing "Blueberry Hill" that won him first prize at the local Coffeyville, Kansas radio station. After the contest, Bobby Poe, a local singer who heard him play in the contest, asked him to join his band.

before his country, before his soul....Ihave undertaken a project. I pulled out my 45 record collection to see how many are on YouTube. I will be posting those 45's from my collection that are not found here. With one box to go, the total number to upload is now at 35 tunes. My 45 collection is roughly 900 discs. With only a few exceptions, all my 45's are 1st press originals. Being that I'm 61, my collection is heavy 60's and 70's. Hopefully, you will check out my videos of these. update... I have way many to upload This little project will keep me off the streets for a while. update, Feb. 17, 2011: pretty much finished. around 80 45's uploaded that the song isn't on here at all; there may be a few more. comments welcome. please check out the rest of my stuff. not sure what my next project will be but if you have something you'd like to hear, let me know. i can pull from my personal lp collection of appr. 700 titles. my lp collection is fairly maninstream 60's-70's rock and rnb but a good dose of psych. i love soundtracks so i have that too. plus, i have several thousand more out-of-print 45's and lp's to play with. 50's-80's mostly mainstream. i have numerous out-of-print country 45's and lp's as well. sorry, but i have no more rare northern, rocker, blues, group, etc. as they are long gone. anyway, hope you get the picture. i'm retired so i got time on my hands. tnx. + Informações
