Oscar McLollie

about

Oscar McLollie (September 22, 1924 – July 4, 2008) was an American jump blues singer. He was recruited by Mercury Records where he recorded the song "I'm Hurt". In 1953 was asked by Leon René and his son Rafael "Googie" René to record their song "The Honey Jump" for their new record label, Class. The upbeat song, with honking saxes and pounding piano, became a regional hit and was leased to Modern Records, but was covered more successfully by other artists. His follow-up, "All That Oil In Texas", was also successful locally. Oscar McLollie and his Honey Jumpers continued over the next few years to record a series of songs written by Leon or Googie René, including "God Gave Us Christmas", and "Lolly Pop" which was covered by Louis Jordan.
