...The band recorded for Motown from 1964 to 1975. With albums produced by Holland, Caston, Wilson and Clarence Paul, Walker began a solo career. He also recorded for Norman Whitfield's label, but in 1983 Walker returned to Motown. In the 1980s he reformed the All Stars, including his son, drummer Autry DeWalt III, and toured in the early 1990s until his death.There are different versions about his professional nickname and his birth name. Most sources agree that he was born Autry DeWalt, Jr. Other versions claim that his mother was named Marie Walker from a second marriage. Autry was nicknamed Junior by his stepfather, and when he turned professional, he took up the stage name of Junior Walker, but still signed his compositions as Autry DeWalt. Other accounts list his birth name as Oscar G. Mixon, or that he took his professional name out of admiration for Louis Jordan (Walker), but these remain unconfirmed.

Great post, and thanks for a Junior Walker album that's new to me. I've been a big fan since the first time I heard Shotgun on the radio in 1965. This is my absolute favorite film clip of him live, and it's worth checking out.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uiukgk5FmgI
