“Mr. Big Stuff” Jean Knight on Stax Records (1971) The song “Mr. Big Stuff” reached #2 on the pop chart and #1 on the R&B chart. It went double platinum, was one of the label’s biggest hits and received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance (she lost to Aretha Franklin’s version of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”) And what a cool cover! Unfortunately, Jean never reached such commercial heights again.
I saw her perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 1992 (her home town) and she was great! I remember everyone in Congo Square grooving to “Dont Talk About Jody” (also on this album). I hope you enjoy it too.
