During the 1940s, Douglas Elijah Quattlebaum (1927) toured with a number of gospel groups, such as the Bells of Joy. In 1952, he recorded solo as a blues singer for the Gotham label. He was a forceful singer and guitarist, having been influenced by Blind Boy Fuller. In 1961, he was rediscovered in Philadelphia, singing and playing blues over the public address system of his ice-cream van, hence the title of his last recording, Softee Man Blues.
The forteen gripping, impassioned blues in this album will serve admirably to introduce the impressive talents of this singer and guitarist whose vital, fervently emotional performances restore to currency the art of the urban blues shouter in all its rousing, urgent intensity.
