WILMOTH HOUDINI with Gerald Clark's Night Owls - SONGS OF TRINIDAD.

1950 issue; recorded in New York, February 16 and August 1, 1931.

"Frederick Wilmoth Hendricks (November 25, 1895 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago – August 6, 1977, New York, New York), best known as Wilmoth Houdini, was a prominent calypsonian. In 1916 he started his career in earnest when he began working with the African Millionaires, a large carnival group consisting of around twenty five members. He arrived in New York sometime around 1927, after working on cargo ships where he travelled extensively. Not long after, he began cutting records with local bands for Decca records, notably Gerald Clark's Night Owls. He released well over a hundred different 78s between 1928 and 1940, also under the names of Fredrick Wilmoth Hendricks , - his given name, Edgar Leon Sinclair, - the name on his US passport, and King Houdini. His 1939 composition "He Had It Coming" was a hit for Louis Jordan and Ella Fitzgerald under the new title "Stone Cold Dead in the Market." The song stayed on the top of the R&B charts for five weeks, and reached #7 on the pop charts."
