"Love was born in Duncan, Mississippi, and in 1942, he met Sonny Boy Williamson II in Greenville, Mississippi.[2] They played regularly together at juke joints throughout the Mississippi Delta.[3] Love was influenced by the piano playing of Leroy Carr, and adept at both standard blues and boogie-woogie styling.[2]
In 1947 Charley Booker moved to Greenville, where he worked with Love.[4] Two years later, Oliver Sain also relocated to Greenville to join his stepfather, Love, as the drummer in a band fronted by Williamson. When Williamson recorded for Trumpet Records in March 1951, Love played the piano on therecordings. Trumpet's owner, Lillian McMurray, had Love return the following month, and again in July 1951, when Love recorded his best known number, the self-penned, "Everybody's Fishing." Love played piano and sang, while the accompanying guitar come from Elmore James and Joe Willie Wilkins. His backing band was known as the Three Aces. A further studio session in December 1951 had Love backed by Little Milton (guitar), T.J. Green (fiddle), and Junior Blackman (drums).[3] In his teenage years, Eddie Shaw played tenor saxophone with both Milton and Love.[5]
Under his own name, Love did not return to the studio until March 1953, when he cut "Worried Blues" and "Lonesome World Blues." Oddly, despite the friendship between them, Love did not utilise Williamson's playing on any of his own material.[2] In April 1953, Love and Williamson recorded in Houston,Texas, but it was Love's final recording session.[2][3]
Love played piano on Williamson's albums, I Ain't Beggin' Nobody and Clownin' With The World (1953).[3][6] All of Love's own recordings appeared on thecompilation album, Greenville Smokin', issued in 2000.
After suffering the effects of years of heavy drinking,[3] Love died of bronchopneumonia, in August 1953, at the age of 46.[1] He was interred at the Elmwood Cemetery in Jackson, Mississippi.[7]"

"The goal of Trumpet Records was to provide a means of recording some of the most popular combos in theMississippi Delta region that were going unrecorded because they did not have access to recording studios in New York City, Los Angeles, or Oakland. The company was in competition with the Bihari brothers of Modern Records. Between the two companies, they recorded some of the era's best blues music, from lively jump boogie woogie to slow blues ballads.[2] The record company was only in existence from 1950 to 1955 but was nonetheless influential. Elmore James recorded his original Dust My Broom here. The company was also home to the first recordings of Sonny Boy Williamson.[3]
The label was founded by Lillian McMurry, whose husband owned a radio repair shop. Elmore James worked at the shop in 1949 fixing radios until Ms. McMurry started the label. Thereafter he was employed as a rhythm guitarist until he began his own solo career. In 1952 Elmore's song "Dust My Broom" appeared on Billboard's "Best Seller" R&B chart at #9. At the time Elmore was still working at Holston's radio repair shop. Talent scout Joe Bihari hunted him down there to alter record him at a local night club backing up Ike Turner.
The company was located on Farish Street, the black district of Jackson, and recorded a range of future R&B, gospel and blues artists including such future greats as Elmore James, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Little Milton, Wynonie Harris, Willie Love, and James Waller.[1] Arthur Crudup recorded at the label under the name Elmer James.[4]
Sonny Boy wrote about Lillian in two songs specifically. "Pontiac Blues" was about Lillian's Pontiac, and the song "309" was named for 309 Farish Street, Trumpet Records' street address. In the lyrics he actually gives out Lillian's home phone number. They couldn't have parted too sourly; in 1977 it was Ms. McMurry who paid to erect Williamson's headstone.
The company closed down in 1956. Creditors sold the artists' recording contracts; Sonny Boy Williamson II was sold to Chess Records in Chicago where he released another 70 songs.
The site of the Trumpet Records recording studio is now commemorated by a Mississippi Blues Trail historical marker"
