Biography

James Milton Campbell Jr. (September 7, 1934 – August 4, 2005), better known as Little Milton, was an American blues singer and guitarist, best known for his number-one R&B single "We're Gonna Make ItWe're Gonna Make ItStudio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 20 tracks1Ain't No Big Deal On You2:202Life Is Like That2:393Believe In Me2:394Blind Man3:225Blues In The Night3:106Stand By Me2:527Can't Hold Back The Tears2:328Country Style2:459I'm Gonna Move To the Outskirts Of Town3:0210Man Loves Two3:0311We're Gonna Make It2:3812Who's Cheating Who?2:5713You're Welcome To The club2:4514Feel So Bad4:0515Fever2:5016Hard Luck Blues3:0317Have Mercy, Baby2:4718More And More2:4819Part Time Love3:5420Please, Please Please3:44".

A native of the Mississippi Delta, Milton began his recording career in 1953 at Sun Records before relocating to St. Louis and co-founding Bobbin Records in 1958. It was not until Milton signed to Checker Records that he achieved success on the charts. Other labels Milton recorded for included Meteor, Stax, Glades, Golden Ear, MCA, and Malaco. Milton was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1988.

Biography

Milton was born James Milton Campbell Jr. on September 7, 1934, in Inverness, Mississippi. He was raised in Greenville, Mississippi, by a farmer and local blues musician. By age twelve he was a street musician, chiefly influenced by T-Bone Walker and his blues and rock and roll contemporaries. He joined the Rhythm Aces in the early part of the 1950s, a three piece band who played throughout the Mississippi Delta area. One of the members was Eddie Cusic who taught Milton to play the guitar. In 1951, Milton recorded several sides backing pianist Willie Love for Trumpet Records.
In 1953, while still a teenager playing in local bars, he was discovered by Ike Turner, who was a talent scout for Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Milton signed a contract with the label and recorded a number of singles. None of them broke through onto radio or sold well at record stores, so Milton left the Sun label in 1955. The next two years he released singles on Modern Records' subsidiary, Meteor Records.
In 1958, Milton moved to East St. Louis and set up the St. Louis-based Bobbin Records label, which ultimately scored a distribution deal with Leonard Chess' Chess Records. As a record producer, Milton helped bring artists such as Albert King and Fontella Bass to fame, while experiencing his own success for the first time. After a number of small format and regional hits, his 1962 single, "So Mean to Me," broke onto the Billboard R&B chart, eventually peaking at number 14.
Following a short break to tour, managing other acts, and spending time recording new material, he returned to music in 1965 with a more polished sound, similar to that of B.B. King. After the ill-received "Blind Man" (R&B: number 86), he released back-to-back hit singles.

He followed the song with number 4 R&B hit "Who's Cheating WhoWho's Cheating WhoReleaseSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 10 tracks1Who's Cheating Who2:592Grits Ain't Groceries (All Around the World)2:433Just a Little Bit2:274I Play Dirty2:345More and More2:496Baby I Love You2:527Can't Hold Back the Tears2:348Poor Man2:479Stand By Me2:5610Ain't No Big Deal On You2:19?" All three songs were featured on his album, We're Gonna Make It, released that summer.

Milton's song "Let Me Down Easy" was recorded by the Spencer Davis Group on The Second Album (1965), but his authorship was not acknowledged on the record. He released a single of it himself in 1968 on Checker. It was also chosen by Etta James as the final track in her final album The Dreamer in 2011.
Throughout the late 1960s Milton released a number of moderately successful singles, but did not issue a further album until 1969, with Grits Ain't GroceriesGrits Ain't GroceriesStudio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 6 tracks1Let Me Down Easy7:032Grits Ain't Groceries (All Around the World)2:483Blind Man8:524I Can't Quit You Baby7:465That's What Love Will Make You Do5:016Walking the Back Streets and Crying7:19 featuring his hit of the same name, as well as "Just a Little Bit" and "Baby, I Love You". With the death of Leonard Chess the same year, Milton's distributor, Checker Records fell into disarray, and Milton joined the Stax label two years later. Adding complex orchestration to his works, Milton scored hits with "That's What Love Will Make You Do" and "What It Is" from his live album, What It Is: Live at Montreux. He appeared in the documentary film, Wattstax, which was released in 1973. Stax, however, had been losing money since late in the previous decade and was forced into bankruptcy in 1975.
After leaving Stax, Milton struggled to maintain a career, moving first to Evidence, then the MCA imprint Mobile Fidelity Records, before finding a home at the independent record label, Malaco Records, where he received his second Grammy nomination for Welcome To Little Milton in 1999. He remained with the label for much of the remainder of his career. His last hit single, "Age Ain't Nothin' But a NumberAge Ain't Nothin' But A Number1983 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 8 tracks1Age Ain't Nothin' But A Number3:442Gotta Keep Our Love Alive4:323Let It Be Me4:174I Wanna Love You4:165Don't Leave Me3:466Living On The Dark Side Of Love3:577Guess How Much I Love You4:598Why Are You So Hard To Please3:47," was released in 1983 from the album of the same name.

Milton died at the age of 70 on August 4, 2005, from complications following a stroke. He was posthumously honored with a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail in Inverness.
