Chick began working with his cousin, Chuck Willis, a rollicking R&B showman who was later known as the “King of the Stroll”. Throughout the middle 50’s and up until Chuck’s death in 1958, Chick toured incessantly with Chuck’s review all over the country. It was with this band that Chick solidified his concept of a satisfying stage show and emerged from this period with a wealth of valuable experience. Chick has since fronted his own units and become one of the most in-demand performers on the Blues and R&B circuit. His penchant for raucous humor was undoubtedly primed when he gigged in the 60’s with Rudy Ray Moore of “petie Wheatstraw” fame. He even snagged a small part in the movie. He also had a small part in the “Buddy Holly story. In addition to being a first-rate guitarist and vocalist, Chick plays drums, keyboards, harmonica and bass. Sometimes he plays with his tongue, under his legs, behind his back. Anything is possible in his persuit to electrify an audience with his dynamite stage presence. You can often catch Chick strolling through the audience with his wireless guitar, sitting in the ladies laps, standing on tables, even walking the bar, and reminding his audience “It ain’t a dam thang but a party” Yawl.
