Timeline
Earl Forest (December 1, 1926 – February 26, 2003) was an American musician and a member of the Memphis-based R&B coalition called the Beale Streeters, which included Johnny Ace, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, B.B. King, and Roscoe Gordon.
Forest was born in Memphis, Tennessee on December 1, 1926.
By the late 1940s Forest was part of the network of musicians performing around Beale Street known as the Beale Streeters.
They weren't a formal band, but they played at the same venues and backed each other during recording sessions.
Scout and program director of WDIA, David James Mattis, would attend local shows and have musicians perform live at the radio station.
Forest, pianist John Alexander, and saxophonist Adolph "Billy" Duncan backed B.B King during broadcasts at WDIA.
"I guess you can say this was the first little bitty B.B. King band," King recalled in his autobiography.
In 1951, Ike Turner, who was a talent scout and producer for the Bihari brothers at Modern Records, arranged for the Beale Streeters to record for Modern.
Forest backed Bobby Bland on his sessions for Modern, which produced the single "Crying All Night Long" / "Dry Up Baby."
That session also included musicians Ike Turner on piano, Billy Duncan on tenor saxophone, and Matt Murphy on guitar.
In 1952, WDIA program director David James Mattis founded Duke Records and signed many of the Beale Streeters to the label.
Forest played drums during a session for Bobby Bland at WDIA studios in 1952.
Soon after, Forest recorded his first record, "Whoopin' And Hollerin'," with Johnny Ace on piano.
Forest had a hit record in 1953 with "Whoopin' And Hollerin'" on Duke Records.
He also recorded for Meteor Records and Flair Records.
It reached No. 7 on the Billboard 's R&B chart (Most Played in Juke Boxes) in April 1953.
To capitalize off the success of the record, the Bihari brothers released a single by Forest on their sublabel Meteor Records, credited as Earl (Whoopin' & Hollerin') Forrest.
Later that year, Forest's "Trouble And Me" was issued as a split single with Johnny Ace's "Mid Night Hours Journey" on Flair Records.
Forest continued to record, releasing more singles on Duke Records until the 1960s.
He co-wrote "Morning After" by the Mar-Keys, released on Stax Records in 1961.
In the 1980s, Forest recorded with one-time Beale Streeter Bobby Bland, backing him on his 1987 album Blues You Can Use.
He also co-wrote two songs on that album, "Spending My Life With You" and "For The Last Time."
Forest co-wrote two songs on Little Milton's 1987 album Movin' To The Country, "Just Because You See Me Smilin'" and "Room 244."
Forest died from cancer at the Memphis Veterans Administration Medical Center on February 26, 2003.
