    Buster Brown - b. August 15, 1911 d. January 31, 1976: American blues and R&B singer best known for his hit, "Fannie Mae".
    Brown was born in Cordele, Georgia. In the 1930s and 1940s he played harmonica at local clubs and made some non-commercial recordings, such as "War Song" and "I'm Gonna Make You Happy" (1943), recorded for the Library of Congress' Folk Music Archive.
    Brown moved to New York in 1956, where he was discovered by Fire Records owner Bobby Robinson. In 1959 Brown recorded the rustic blues, "Fannie Mae", which went to # 38 in the U.S. Top 40, and to #1 on the R&B chart in April 1960. In later years he recorded for Checker Records and for numerous small record labels.
