Albert B. Smith was born in Bolivar County, Mississippi, on November 23, 1923. His family moved to Pace, Mississippi, in 1927. He danced with a jug band on the streets of Rosedale, Mississippi, when he was 7. He learned how to play the string bass in a school band after hearing Big Joe Williams and other Delta bluesmen at his mother's barrelhouse. After shipping out with the Merchant Marine in 1940, he arrived in Chicago in 1943. In 1945 he started what he referred to as a "bebop" band. <a href

Quotes

• “The American people never carry an umbrella. They prepare to walk in eternal sunshine. In times of prosperity and plenty, the public...orator who would suggest a measure for unemployment relief would find it most difficult to get an audience....There is little doubt in my mind that we may be able to work out some system of deferring portions of public works and holding them in reserve for...unemployment.”
• “All the ills of democracy can be cured by more democracy.”
