Joe Josea

The name of swing/R&B arranger and songwriter Joe Josea is found on many R&B hits, though it's unclear whether he's actually responsible for their composition. Standards including B.B. King's "Sweet Sixteen" and "Rock Me Baby" all have Josea's name attached, though King himself has attested that they were solo compositions. ~ John Bush
