Harold Edwin Burrage (March 30, 1931 – November 26, 1966)[1] was an American blues and soul singer, pianist, songwriter, and record producer.[2]

Biography[edit]

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Burrage did session work as a pianist in the 1950s and 1960s as well as recording under his own name.[2] He released singles on Decca, Aladdin, States, and Cobra in the 1950s, and for Vee-Jay and M-Pac in the 1960s.[3] Burrage's backing bands included the likes of Otis Rush, Willie Dixon, Wayne Bennett, and Jody Williams, while Burrage supported Magic Sam, Charles Clark, and others as a pianist.[4]

Burrage's first recording was "Hi-Yo Silver", written by Burrage and Claude Trenier,[2] for Decca Records in 1950, backed by Horace Henderson's band.[5]

Burrage's only national hit as singer was the 1965 Chicago soul song "Got to Find a Way",[2] which reached number 31 on the US Billboard R&B chart.[6] The following year Burrage died in Chicago, aged 35, from heart failure at the home of Tyrone Davis,[1] a musician Burrage influenced.[7]
