Mr Big Stuff - Stax 1971
Born  26th June 1943 - New Orleans
Jean Knight only had one hit but what a whopper! Houston producer Huey Meaux was the first to record Jean Knight.

In 1970 At Malaco Studios in Jackson, MS, she recorded Mr. Big Stuff, for Stax. It became a number two pop hit in the USA. Follow-ups included You Think You're Hot Stuff.

Mr Big Stuff still gets a lot of airplay today and is an easy choice for lazy TV programme researchers everywhere when making TV concerning big shots. Having said that, it's a funky sound and VERY catchy.

Rockin' Sidney's Zydeco My Toot Toot Was covered by Jean.

1997 released Shaki de Boo-Tee.
