Nolan Struck

Born June 16, 1940, Dunson, LA, United States, Struck started out as a professional dancer. His flamboyant stagecraft caught the eye of Lonnie Brooks, who taught him to play bass and put him in his band. After Brooks brought the group to Chicago in 1959, Struck went out on his own, playing with artists like Tyrone Davis and Denise LaSalle and on sessions for the One-derful! label. He began to record as a vocalist (initially as "Little Nolan") in the late 60s; early-70s sides on ICT showcased his blend of aching vulnerability and erotic heat, and as recently as 1994.
