Lower Fulson was a blues guitarist and songwriter in the West Coast blues tradition after T-bone Walker. He was the most important figure in West Coast blues in the 1940s and 1950s.
On January 13, 1955, he recorded a single titled Do Me Right. The song was written by Willie Dixon. It was released July 1955.
Folsom recorded for swing Time records in the 1940s, Chess Records in the 1950s, Kent Records in the 1960s, and Rounder Records in the 1980s/1990s. He wrote "3 O'Clock Blues" (B.B. King's first hit), "Reconsider Baby" (a blues standard), and "Tramp" (co-written with Jimmy McCracklin and recorded by several artists). His 1965 song "Black Nights" was his first hit in a decade, and "Tramp" did even better, restoring him to R&B stardom.
Fulson died in Long Beach, California, on March 7, 1999, at the age of 77. He left us with a lot of great blues.
