     John Weldon Cale was born in Oklahoma City and has had a long and successful as an singer and songwriter who's laid back style has incorporated country, jazz, and the blues. He adopted the monicker JJ as a way to distinguish himself from another John Cale who was with the Velvet Underground. Cale's is probably best known for a pair of songs covered by Eric Clapton, "After Midnight", and "Cocaine", but had this tasty slice of blues back in 1972. A story has been told that he was invited to do American Bandstand to promote the song, but refused when told that he could not bring his band, and that he would have to lip sync. He was just nominated for induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame....
