The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

He first recorded for a record label owned by his uncle.
At the time that Amii Stewart was topping the chart with a discofied version of 'Knock on Wood,' he recorded an unsuccessful disco album of his own.
He appeared in the inferior 'Blues Brothers 2000' sequel.

Why he might not be annoying:

In addition to his own songs, he co-wrote Wilson Pickett's hits 'Ninety-Nine and Half (Won't Do)' and '634-5789.'
His 'Raise Your Hand' was covered in concert by Janis Joplin and Bruce Springsteen.
He received a Pioneer Award from the Blues Heritage Society (1996).
