Chuck Willis did many fine recordings.

Willis was a heavy drinker and died from peritonitis.
Was he very well-known in the UK in 1958 ?

That's very cool. From what I see, the London label had released a few of his Atlantic singles in the UK. I wondered if they were popular at all in this side of the planet :
