TJR says

After playing for 25 years as Piano Red, the 50-year-old William Lee Perryman decided to try and give his career some fresh impetus in 1962. After signing with Okeh Records in 1961, he began using the name Dr. Feelgood and the Interns, releasing several hit sides beginning with “Dr. Feelgood” b/w “Mister Moonlight” in early 1962. The persona was one he had initially adopted on his radio shows; during the mid-1950s, Perryman had worked as a disc jockey on radio stations WGST and WAOK in Atlanta, broadcasting directly from a small shack in his back yard. ’The Piano Red Show’ later became ’The Dr. Feelgood Show’. Trivia hounds should note that a young James Brown made an appearance on his show in the late 1950s. The album, although thoroughly decent, would prove to be Perryman’s last in any guise, as public tastes moved away from Rock n Roll and Boogie Woogie. His name would live on through the Canvey Island pub-rockers who assumed it 9 years later…
