This discography is a non-commercial labor-of-love and is in no way associated with any business firm. All I know about the resp. artist's / label's musical output is shown on this page. To purchase out-of-print records I recommend an ebay, gemm or google search. And - sorry for that - I have not the time to answer any e-mails asking me about further information, let alone duplicating out-of-print recordings I happen to own.Stefan Wirz www.wirz.de |

 AP newsfeatures photo of Sugar Chile Robinson 1954; source: eBay auction (from photo back side: "Although he still plays boogie-woogie, 'Sugar Chile' Robinson, now age 14 and a high school student in Detroit, Mich., is more deeply interested in plans to become a doctor. Here he does his homework. He gets A and B marks in all his subjects. His professional piano playing is now restricted to holidays and vacations. He made about $1,500 Thanksgiving week at the Apollo Theatre in New York. He thinks that by the time he [?] for college he may have ended his [?] career.")
