“I’m better than all of ‘em.”

Yes he was. If there is a character from New Orleans who personifies the saints and sinners it was James Booker. He was an original, he was a foundation, he was a teacher, a collaborator and sadly an addict. But he isn’t gone. You can hear his influence everywhere.

What's the story here?

James Carroll Booker III (December 17, 1939 – November 8, 1983) was a jazz, New Orleans rhythm and blues and soul musician born in New Orleans, Louisiana. It has been speculated that his song “Gonzo” was the inspiration for the use of the word gonzo to describe Hunter S. Thompson’s journalistic style.

Harry Connick Jr., a student and close friend of Booker, is probably his most renowned disciple. Connick, Henry Butler, and Dr. John, among others, have recorded songs with titles and musical styles referencing Booker.
