Jerry "Boogie" McCain (1930–2012) was a celebrated American blues harmonica player and songwriter from Gadsden, Alabama. Inspired by blues legends like Little Walter, McCain began his recording career in 1953 with Trumpet Records, releasing tracks such as "East of the Sun" and "Wine-O-Wine." He later joined Excello Records, where he developed his amplified harmonica style and penned notable songs like "My Next Door Neighbor" and "The Jig's Up." His 1960 hit "She's Tough" was famously covered by the Fabulous Thunderbirds. McCain's music, characterized by its humor and social commentary, left a lasting impact on the blues genre.
