I also never considered him a Boogie-Woogie pianist- more 'Chicago Blues' . I have several old 78's and LP's which I could dig out if there is still any confusion over his birth.
Thank you all for the answers you gave ,i had Googled and i had come up with Jimmy edward Yancey but i did'nt think it was right because it said he was born in 1898 but as valerieb1254 mentioned Wikipedia gives three different dates
Thanks again to you all
