Joseph Amos Milburn (April 1, 1927 – January 3, 1980) was an American R&B singer and pianist,[1] popular in the 1940s and 1950s. One commentator noted, "Milburn excelled at good-natured, upbeat romps about booze and partying, imbued with a vibrant sense of humour and double entendre, as well as vivid, down-home imagery in his lyrics."[1]
