J.B. Was the first black blues singer to openly bring the race subject across. In 1953, right in the middle of the Korea conflict, he also wrote an Eisenhower Blues and a Korea Blues. No wonder Lenoir had it hard finding an American record deal. When his Polydor contract ran out he recorded for the German Lippmann & Rau label (L&R).
