About Elmore Nixon
Elmore „Elmo“ Nixon (* 17. November 1933, Crowley, Louisiana - † Juni 1975, Houston, Texas) was an American rhythm and blues singer and pianist. Elmore Nixon grew up in Houston. By his early teens he was already backing Peppermint Harris on his Gold Star debut. Thereafter he recorded with many Texas artists as a member of alto saxophonist Henry Hayes’ Four Kings, including Carl Campbell, Milton Willis, L.C. Williams, Hubert Robinson, Ivory Lee and Hop Wilson. His debut record, ‘Foolish Love’, was made in 1949 for Sittin In With The Hayes band. His own music reflected the jump music of the time, having affinities with Little Willie Littlefield. Other sessions followed for Peacock, Mercury Records, Savoy Records and Imperial Records, the latter in 1955. During the mid-60s, he worked with Clifton Chenier, recording on Chenier’s sessions for Arhoolie Records and with Lightnin’ Hopkins for Jewel. At other times he led his own band, working around Texas and Louisiana. He died at the age of 41 in June 1975.
