Lazy Lester

I'M A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER -Excello
I Hear You Knockin' - covered by Dave Edmunds

Lazy Lester (Leslie Johnson) was a harmonica player of the highest level of excellence had one major hit on the UK blues scene in 1963 /4 with I'm A Lover Not A Fighter'. The Manchester Twisted Wheel DJ used to follow it up immediately with 'You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover' by Bo Diddley. Lazy Lester got his break in the music business by being on the same bus as Lightnin' Slim who had just lost his band's harmonica man - the rest as they say, is history.
