William Bollinger-You Can Lead Your Woman To The Altar
William Bollinger – You Can lead Your Woman to The Altar (by spinning45s)
William Bollinger was THE soul star of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, frequently performing at places like the Purple Crackle Club in East Cape Girardeau, Illinois, but he did most of his recording in Memphis, usually at Sounds of Memphis, which today is known as the House of Blues. Aside from a mention in the book Tales of an All-Night Town, which was largely about his outlaw brother James Bollinger and the town of Brooklyn, Illinois, Willie Bollinger has been largely forgotten since his death in 2003. Some interest in him has been aroused more recently as a result of the Ace/Kent reissues of XL/Sound of Memphis material, but a full CD-length retrospective of Bollinger’s work has yet to appear.Â
