Born in New Orleans in 1937. His first successful release was on Tiger records USA, a subsidiary label owned by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller. They moved Alvin to Red Bird for his next release; 'Fever'/ 'Down Home Girl'. Down Home Girl was the 'b' side and played more often at UK soul clubs, as Fever by Little Willie John would take precedence on a DJ's play list, due to the fact that these clubs (Wheel/Blue Note) preferred originals. That said, Alvin's version of Fever is extremely good. He played on Dr John Gumbo album.
