In 1928, he recorded this (the original) version of “Corrine, Corrina,” which later became a hit for Big Joe Turner. The general consensus is Bo Carter (born Armenter Chatmon) had the dirtiest mind in all of blues recording various sexually charged songs, like, “Banana in Your Fruit Basket.” I say that’s going beyond the innuendo boundary. To this day his character is still unequaled. Enjoy!
