Harrison Nelson Jr. (b 17 July 1925, Texarkana, Texas - d 19 March 1999, Elizabeth, New Jersey), known as Peppermint Harris, was an American R&B singer and guitarist. He first recorded in Houston, as Peppermint Nelson, in the late 1940s, accompanied by his friend Lightnin' Hopkins. He then made further recordings including "Raining In My Heart" for a label run by Bob Shad - who allegedly forgot Nelson's name and released them as by Peppermint Harris. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Peppermin
