Tiny Bradshaw was an American jazz drummer, pianist, singer, and bandleader, born on September 23, 1907, in Youngstown, Ohio. He was active in the music scene from the 1930s to the 1950s and passed away on November 26, 1958, in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1951, Bradshaw co-wrote, sang, and recorded "The Train Kept A-Rollin'," a song that, while it never charted, played a significant role in the development of rock and roll. Throughout his career, he charted in the U.S. five times as a singer/songwriter and four additional times as a songwriter. His first chart success came in 1942 with "Jersey Bounce," which was recorded by Benny Goodman (#2), Jimmy Dorsey (#9), and Shep Fields (#19), and was co-written with Eddie Johnson, Bobby Plater, and Buddy Feyne (Robert B. Wright). Bradshaw also made an impact on the R&B charts with several hits, including "Well Oh Well" (#2, 1950), "I'm Going to Have Myself a Ball" (#5, 1950), "Walkin' the Chalk Line" (#10, 1951), "Soft" (#3, 1953), and "Heavy Juice" (#9, 1953), having written or co-written all of these songs except for "Walkin'
