Oscar Perry

Oscar Perry was a Houston-based singer and guitarist with a feel for the blues (especially ballads) and the sweeter side of Southern soul. Perry made his first recording in 1957 with "Just Above a Whisper" on Spinner, and recorded for Lee J over the remainder of the decade. He hopped from label to label during the '60s, and found a home in the early '70s with producer Huey P. Meaux's Crazy Cajun label family. His most prolific recording period lasted from 1972-1976
