Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows was an American blues and rhythm and blues group.[1]
The frontman was singer, drummer and harmonica player Lawrence "Big Twist" Nolan (né Lawrence Millard Nolan; 23 September 1937,
B.B. King, Muddy Waters
and many other notable acts. The band's repertoire was a mixture of soul, rhythm and blues, and rock, a mixture that was equally popular among young and old.
Larry Nolan died in March 1990 of a
heart attack. The Illinois State Historic Association placed a marker dedicated to the life of Big Twist on the Court House Lawn in Murphysboro, Illinois. The group played on, with new singer Martin Allbritton, from Carbondale, Illinois.[1] The saxophonist and producer Gene "Daddy G" Barge often appeared as a guest vocalist.[1]
After the founding member Peter Special left the band, they called themselves the Chicago Rhythm And Blues Kings, and remain a popular band in Illinois.
