Paul Williams and His Hucklebuckers - Paul Williams and His Hucklebuckers (1954)

"The Huckle-Buck" by Paul Williams and His Hucklebuckers

Varetta Dillard and Billy Ward might have been in the lineup for the "first ever" rock and roll concert, but they weren't the headliner.  That honor belonged to Paul Williams and His Hucklebuckers.  Rumor has it that Paul and his band managed to perform only one song at the Moondog Coronation Ball before being shut down by the authorities.  (It's been reported that Williams (in his own words, too) managed to perform a set, and the next act took the stage before an overpacked arena and "boisterous" crowd led to the concert's shut down thirty minutes in.)

Paul Williams saw only one album, Paul Williams and His Hucklebuckers, released during his tenure at Savoy (in 1954... maybe).

Note:  I've also included the limited singles discography of Danny Cobb, an occasional vocalist for The Hucklebuckers.  Paul Williams and team were also the backing band on some of Cobb's singles.
