Bull Moose Jackson

Benjamin Clarence "Bull Moose" Jackson (April 22, 1919 – July 31, 1989)[1] was an American blues and rhythm-and-blues singer and saxophonist, who was most successful in the late 1940s.

He is considered a performer of dirty blues because of the suggestive nature of some of his songs, such as "I Want a Bowlegged Woman" and "Big Ten Inch Record".

[5] Millinder encouraged Jackson to sign a solo contract with Syd Nathan of King Records to play rhythm and blues.

He formed his own group, the Buffalo Bearcats, and over the next five years recorded in a wide variety of musical styles, including both romantic crooning and bawdy jump blues.

By the mid-1950s, Jackson was tired of touring and retired from music to work for a catering firm in Washington, D.C.,[5] although he occasionally still performed at private parties.

A local DJ reputedly told the Flashcats that he knew Bull Moose Jackson, and the band's frontman, Carl Grefensette, found him catering at Howard University.
