Dr. John - Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya
Dr. John the Night Tripper, or Dr. John Creaux, that is Dr. John, has left us forever on June 6 of last year, in New Orleans, the same city where he was born about eighty years earlier.
He was a "session man" since the 1950s, playing blues, pop, and jazz with zydeco, boogie-woogie, and rock and roll, blending them together with the greatest, like the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Sonny & Cher, Canned Heat, Frank Zappa, The Band, Rickie Lee Jones, Willy DeVille, The Neville Brothers, Ringo Star, and more...
His career as a guitarist was interrupted in the '60s at a concert in Jacksonville, Florida, when a bullet struck his left hand ring finger while he was playing guitar, injuring him.
He was a guitarist, songwriter, and pianist who performed in theatrical/musical shows of the "Medicine shows" genre, dressed in "Mardi Gras" costume and in "Voodoo" ceremonies.
He was taken away by a bad heart attack, but not before receiving five Grammy Awards, and by the way, his real name was Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack, Jr.
