Cootie Williams and his Orchestra 1943 (Eddie Cleanhead Vinson)

[@eddierollins3870]

similar finest best musicians of their time it's great to actually see him do what they do so very well

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

+Eddie Rollins Vinson was so popular around this time that he left Cootie's big band in '45 to start his own big band, which was a great band too. Some of his best-known songs were "Cherry Red," "Kidney Stew," and "Somebody's Got To Go."
