Nappy Brown (1929-2008) with The King Bees at the First New River Blues Festival 23 years ago! The supreme Blues and R&B vocalist, and consummate showman had numerous Billboard hits. He is considered an originator of Soul Music. He recorded "The Right Time" well before Ray Charles rearranged it as "Night Time". A colossus to perform with, over many years Nappy shared with us a musical and artistic treasure trove and an invaluable education. Years on the road with a fellow traveler, the conversations, laughter, musings, and reflective quietude grant a deep disclosure of a persons life, and even soul. Bless you Napoleon Culp, and thank you for sharing your precious self with The King Bees... AND! The 23rd New River Blues Festival on Aug. 31..continuing to make history, jubilation, and sweet memories.
