Jesse Fortune:

In the 1950's and 60's Chicago Blues scene Jesse Fortune was the go to guy for heavy duty vocal work. In that era you include the likes of Big Voice "B.B." Odum, Barking Bill and very few others. The most prized at that time was Jesse Fortune.

Hired by the legendary Otis Rush as a special guest feature vocalist for the Otis Rush Band show in 1952, Jesse made his mark on Chicago's tough west side. Keeping in mind that Otis Rush was himself one of the great vocalists in Chicago as well. Other great vocalists like Buddy Guy also hired fortune as a special guest vocalist, as did Willie Dixon in later years.
