William Edward John (November 15, 1937 - May 26, 1968) was better known by his stage name Little Willie John. He was an American R&B singer who performed in the 1950s and early 1960s and is best known for his popular music chart successes with songs such as, "All Around the World" (1955), "Need Your Love So Bad" (1956) and "Fever" the same year, the latter covered in 1958 by Peggy Lee. "Fever" is a song written by Eddie Cooley and John Davenport and originally recorded by Little Willie John in 1956. It was released as a double-sided hit along with the top-ten R&B song "Letter from My Darling". The song reached number one for three weeks on the R&B Best Sellers chart, which also made the popular charts as an early rock and roll song, peaking at number twenty-four.[. + Informações

William Edward John was born William Edward John in Cullendale, Arkansas but his family moved to Detroit, Michigan when he was four. This led to a recording contract with King Records and a string of R&B hits beginning with the soulful "All around the World" (1955) and including "I'm Shakin'" by Rudy Toombs,[2] "Suffering With The Blues", "Need Your Love So Bad", "Sleep" (1960) (Pop #13). His biggest hit "Fever" (1956) (Pop #24) was even more famously covered by Peggy Lee in 1958. Another song, "Talk To Me" recorded in 1958, reached #5 in the R&B chart and #20 in the pop chart. A few years later it was a hit once again by Sunny And The Sunglows. In all, John made the Billboard Top 100 a total of 14 times. A cover version of "I Need Your Love So Bad" by the original Fleetwood Mac group was also a big hit in Europe. Another one of his songs to be covered was "Leave My Kitten Alone," (1959). The Beatles recorded a version in 1964, intended for their "Beatles For Sale" album, but it went unreleased until 1995.. + Informações

Recorded June 27, 1955 in New York City with a sterling back-up band that included Jack Dupree on the piano, "All Around The World" would never make the pop charts in those days, but it scored big with the R&B crowd, and, of course, on the Carolina beaches.

This great 50's R&B song is the flip side of Sleep. Even though it was a hit, Sleep doesn't show up very often. When it does most doo wop/r&b guys probably pass it up. I don't recall hearing this on any of the oldies shows or seeing it mentioned in any publications.. + Informações
