Sonny Henry

American jazz guitarist, sideman and songwriter, born November 3, 1932 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Best remembered for the composition “Evil Ways”, originally performed by [a=Willie Bobo] but made famous by [a=Cal Tjader] and [a=Santana].

[b]"Evil Ways" is often miscredited to [a=Jimmie Zack], a rockabilly singer who co-wrote and recorded a different song with the same name. In these instances, please use the unlinked "Written By" entry for Zack, and use "Written-By [Uncredited]" to credit Henry.

Do not confuse with the New Orleans R&B singer [a=Clarence "Frogman" Henry].[/b]
