Page, Cleo

Black Man Too Tough To Die (+7")

LP including bonus 7" and insert. Born in Louisiana, this Los Angeles-based musician worked with the great Johnny Otis and possibly jammed with top West Coast bluesmen like Jessie Allen, Pete "Guitar" Lewis, Jimmy Nolen and Lafayette Thomas. Cleo Page has been crossing blues, rhythm & blues and proto-rock'n'roll in a personal way. He ran his own labels in the heart of Watts just after the 1965 riots.
