Eddie Tigner

Ed Tigner, Jr., better known as Eddie Tigner (August 11, 1926 – April 18, 2019) was an American blues pianist, keyboardist, singer and songwriter. He recorded two albums, both released by Music Maker, and continued to perform on stage each week, despite being in his nineties. He performed standing up at the keyboard latterly, noting "Most keyboard players sit; I can’t anymore. If I sit down to play, I'll go to sleep." "[...] worked with Elmore James in the early '50s, but he also spent 30 years with a version of the Ink Spots." (The Penguin guide to blues recordings (2006), p. 654)
