Curtis Ousley was born on 7 February 1934. And he didn't do much cooking.
He started playing the saxophone when he was 12. You'd know him better as King Curtis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Curtis
In 1965, he recorded one of his most successful singles – Memphis Soul Stew.
Now you don't have to click on the video to know the recipe, because I'm gonna share it with you, right here:
1) 1/2 teacup of bass
2) 1 lb of fat back drums
3) 4 tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars
4) A pinch of organ
5) 1/2 a pint of horns
Just place it on a burner and bring to boil - or that's what I think he said in the song... enjoy!
