Thurmon Valentine was born in West Helena, Arkansas in 1932. Inspired by Sonny Boy Williamson's "King Biscuit Time" show on KKFA, Thurmon moved to Chicago in 1950 to make music and become a performer. From 1957 to 1959 he created and performed a live show called "The Vampire" in clubs with three female co-stars out of his love for "old vampire pictures, Lugosi and all those guys."
"She's about the ugliest girl in town. Is she related to Frankenstein ? HA HA HA HA , CHEE , CHEE , CHEE !!!!".

The Norton album has some good liner notes. He was also a guest on Rex's show on WFMU, which is available in the archives!
