Spotted this jazzed up bike on 9th Street – on closer inspection, two of the 45s were Nat King Cole, the third being Clyde McCoy. Unfamiliar with McCoy, I turned to Wikipedia:<\/p>\n

Clyde Lee McCoy<\/b>[1]<\/a><\/sup> (December 29, 1903 \u2013 June 11, 1990), was an American<\/a>jazz<\/a>trumpeter<\/a> whose popularity spanned seven decades. He is best remembered for his theme song, “Sugar Blues”<\/a>, written by Clarence Williams<\/a> and Lucy Fletcher, and also as a co-founder of Down Beat<\/i><\/a> magazine in 1935.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The song hit in 1931 and 1935, in Columbia<\/a> and Decca<\/a> versions, and returned to Billboard<\/i><\/a>magazine’s Country<\/a> (Hillbilly) chart in 1941. It was also played with vocals, by Bob Wills<\/a> and his Texas Playboys, Fats Waller<\/a> and Ella Fitzgerald<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johnny Mercer<\/a> had a vocal hit in 1947. McCoy was a member of one of the families of the Hatfield-McCoy feud<\/a>, and was based at various times in Los Angeles<\/a>, New York City<\/a>, and at Chicago’s<\/a>Drake Hotel<\/a>, where he first performed “Sugar Blues” in 1930. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/a> at 6426 Hollywood Boulevard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
