"Fannie Mae" became a blues standard… later recorded by icons like the Steve Miller Band, The Righteous Brothers, and maybe most famously, by The Rolling Stones. #TheRollingStones #BusterBrown #OneHitWondered

The real value of the Library of Congress recordings was that they showed Buster Brown was no overnight success in 1959... Long before Bobby Robinson produced “Fannie Mae,” Brown had already been recorded live, singing & playing harmonica as a working blues musician. #BusterBrown #OneHitWondered

Buster Brown publicity photo
Buster Brown was the Georgia-born blues/R&B singer & harmonica ace who brought some gritty, down-home blues to the slicker NYC R&B scene of the late 1950s… Brown linked up with Bobby Robinson, the great NYC indie record man behind Fire Records. #BusterBrown #BobbyRobinson #OneHitWondered

A massive restoration project in my small Illinois hometown to save the iconic Buster Brown shoe factory building near the town square. Is he crazy or a visionary? I wish him success.

11-9-2024 #CoffeeAndComics BUSTER BROWN COMIC BOOK #31 (Summer 1953). Pretty crazy they used to "X-Ray" your feet as a gimmick to sell shoes. Pretty cool though that they used to give out comics at shoe stores. Pretty good quality comics too! #comics #comicbooks #BusterBrown #Shoes #giveaways

A postcard featuring Buster Brown, Mary Jane, and their dog Tige. Buster and Mary Jane are arm in arm skipping along a path, and Tige is walking in front of them. All three are smiling.
Did you know that the ever popular Mary Jane style shoe was named after a comic strip character (and a slightly mysterious one at that)? Find out more at my blog:
