William Edward John, conocido como Little Willie John, nació el 15 de noviembre de 1937 en Cullendale, Arkansas. Fue un cantante estadounidense de R&B que comenzó su carrera a mediados de la década de 1950. A los cuatro años, la familia de John se trasladó a Detroit, Michigan, donde formó un grupo de gospel con sus hermanos mayores y actuó en concursos de talentos. Su gran éxito llegó cuando fue descubierto por Henry Glover tras actuar con la orquesta de Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams, lo que le valió un contrato con King Records en 1955. John lanzó su primer sencillo, "All Around the World", que alcanzó el número 5 en la lista Billboard de R&B. Continuó con éxitos como "Need Your Your ", que alcanzó el número 5 en la lista Billboard. Continuó con éxitos como "Need Your Love So Bad" (1956) y "Fever" (1956), este último alcanzó el número 1 en las listas Pop y R&B y vendió más de un millón de copias. Otras canciones notables son "Talk to Me, Talk to Me" (1958) y "I'm Shakin'" (1959). La carrera de John estuvo marcada por problemas legales, incluidas detenciones por narcóticos y agresión, lo que le llevó a ser abandonado por King Records en 1963. Fue condenado por homicidio involuntario en 1965 y murió el 26 de mayo de 1968, mientras estaba encarcelado en la Penitenciaría del Estado de Washington. A título póstumo, John fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en 1996 y en el Salón de la Fama de la Música Rhythm and Blues en 2014. Su influencia es evidente en versiones de artistas como Fleetwood Mac y Peggy Lee, así como en álbumes de homenaje a James Brown.
