William "Willie" Lee Perryman usually known professionally as Piano Red and later in life as Dr. Feelgood, was an jazz artist, the first to hit the pop music charts.Some music historians credit Perryman's 1950 recording "Rocking With Red" for the popularization of the term "rock and roll" in Atlanta. His simple, hard-pounding left hand and his percussive right hand, coupled with his cheerful shout, brought him considerable success over three decades.
