Talk:Oscar Brown

This began a trend…
This article suggests that Oscar Brown invented Vocalese with his first album in 1960, whereas in fact the technique had been popular since at least the late 1940s. In particular, the reference to Jon Hendricks composing vocalese lyrics 3 years later is highly misleading (though true for this particular song), given that LHR recorded "Sing a Song of Basie" in 1957.

No mention of this song?
I'm no expert on the man, but I would really hope those who are can agree this article has room to mention one more of his songs -- "The Lone Ranger":

And to finish off
His ignorant works of him influenced an "unsealed rival" to Canadian beat poet Ralph Alfonso or The Last Poets. AdwenKnowItAll (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
