Hi,

I saw a singer on an old episode of Jools Holland and have forgotten his name. Description:

-black American male
-very old, 70+ years old
-singing soulmusic with an unusually high falsetto voice, I actually thought it was a woman singing
-wearing a tuxedo, standing next to Jools Holland who was playing piano
-he looked quite small in size and I think his name is 'Little.....(something)'

Any ideas? Thanks a lot

Sounds a bit like Smokey Robinson. He's in his mid seventies.

Little Richard, he's he's gotta be 75+ I would think!

Does this help? Can't see Little Richard (aged 82) on here though.

nice one Talbot ;-)
strictly speaking, that should be "nice one Ludwig" ;-)
strictly speaking I guess the OP meant this performance, Bathy.

strictly speaking, I think you've nailed it there, Talbot ;-)

Sorry folks but it’s definitely not Smokey Robinson.

This guy just looked like a little old man but he had such a voice.
*sigh*.......that's a shame....back to drawing board then.....:-/
feelap....how long ago was it?
Al green?

Aaron Neville?
Pops Staples? Know he's been on Jools Holland before.
Google "LIttle Jimmy Scott". A Jazz singer with a very unusual contralto voice.

He's nearly 90 now, but he was on Jools a few years ago.
Well done The Builder
