Willie Clayton Biography
Willie Clayton (b. March 29, 1956 in Indianola, Mississippi) is an American blues singer.From the age of seven, Clayton grew up listening and singing to blues music. In 1971, Clayton left his hometown to pursue his dreams of becoming a singer in Chicago. There the young singer landed a contract with Hi Records in Memphis. There he worked with veteran producer Willie Mitchell.In 1984, Clayton made the R&B charts with his songs "Tell Me" and "What a Way to Put It".
In 1993, Clayton recorded Let's Get Together, a smooth soul-blues album with several original songs, but named after Al Green's hit song. In his follow-up album, Simply Beautiful, Clayton mixed Al Green and Aretha Franklin with his own music. His next album, It’s About Love, was released in 1999. Changing Tha Game and Full Circle followed. Clayton's latest album, released in October 2006, is titled Gifted.
Although Clayton's music career has not been as successful as he had hoped, he continues to persevere. He is now with EndZone Records, doing what he most loves -- performing for fans. "Every time I make a recording or a personal appearance, I am amazed at how positive the responses are from my fans," he says. "It makes me extremely humble to be appreciated while entertaining you with my God given talent. These acknowledgements by you, my fans, have touched me deeply and forever changed me in a positive way. I hope my music continues to touch you and change you in a positive way too."
