Until this point almost nothing was known about Billy. A native of Richmond, Virginia, he based himself in Philadelphia and his trio worked up and down the Eastern seaboard. He was discovered playing in one of the endless clubs and lounges that existed at the time and made his first album for Prestige, The New Genius Of The Blues, in 1966 Heavy Soul followed a year later. Produced by Cal Lampley at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Englewood Cliffs, both 'You've Been A Bad Girl' and 'What More Can I Do' are appearing on 7- inch for the first time.;Track List:1.
