A real mutha fuyer
Chick Willis “Stoop Down Baby, Let Your Daddy See” Laval Records (1972) Features funky cuts like the 20- minute title song and my favorite, a salacious take on B.B. King’s “Mother Fuyer” – about a furry little animal called a “fuyer.” Dirty Red also put out a version. I remember finding the single of “Mother Fuyer” in the basement of a record store in Boston. Sometimes you remember where you found a record. I don’t know why. Chick shouldn’t be confused with his cousin “the King of the Stroll” Chuck Willis, whom he played with in the fifties. No doubt his stint in the sixties playing with Rudy Ray Moore led him to the raunchy material he became best known for.
