Brother Bones

[1] Davis is best remembered for his 1949 recording (as Brother Bones and His Shadows) of the 1925 standard "Sweet Georgia Brown".

[2] The recording became nationally famous after its adoption as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in 1952.

Notably, the bass line for this track uses the Novachord, a very early electronic synthesizer more prominently featured on the B side of the record.

[citation needed] Davis died in June 1974, in Long Beach, California, at the age of 71.

[1] Davis was buried in Woodlawn Memorial Park, Compton, Los Angeles County, California.
