Nacido el 26 de julio de 1914 en Birmingham, Alabama, Erskine Hawkins fue un trompetista y líder de big band al que se ha denominado "el Gabriel del siglo XX". Se le conoce sobre todo por ser coautor, junto con el saxofonista Bill Johnson, del clásico del jazz "Tuxedo Junction ". La canción se convirtió en un éxito durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial: la versión de la Glenn Miller Orchestra alcanzó el número 1, mientras que la de la Erskine Hawkins Orchestra llegó al número 7. El viaje musical de Erskine Hawkins comenzó a los 13 años, después de aprender a tocar la batería y el trombón, empezó a tocar la trompeta. Influido por Louis Armstrong, se convirtió en un intérprete extravagante y popular. Comenzó a dirigir a los 'Bama State Collegians'. Entre 1936 y 1938, firmó un contrato con Vocalion Records y grabó con el nombre de Erskine Hawkins and his 'Bama State Collegians. Después firmó con Bluebird/RCA Records y empezó a grabar como Erskine Hawkins and His Orchestra. Se convirtió en una de las bandas de la casa en el prestigioso Savoy Ballroom y participaba regularmente en espectáculos de "batalla de bandas" con Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller y Lionel Hampton. El conjunto lanzó una serie de sencillos en el Top 20, entre ellos "Do You Wanna Jump, Chillun?" (1939), " Tuxedo Junction" (1939), "Dolemite" (1940), "Five O'Clock Whistle" (1940), "Bicycle Bounce" (1942) y "TIppin' It" (1945). Muchos de los mejores temas de la banda se recopilaron en álbumes como Tuxedo Junction (1947), Erskine Hawkins and His Orchestra (1976) y muchos más. Erskine Hawkins and His Orchestra sobrevivió más tiempo que la mayoría de las big bands, muchas de las cuales se disolvieron a finales de 1946 y principios de 1947. La presión financiera que supuso mantener la banda activa en los años 50 fue demasiado y tuvo que reducir el tamaño del conjunto. Continuó trabajando con pequeñas bandas durante los años sesenta, setenta y hasta los ochenta. Erskine Hawkins falleció el 11 de noviembre de 1993.
