Ray Agee

Raymond Clinton "Ray" Agee (April 10, 1921 – April 15, 1989) was an American rhythm & blues singer and songwriter. Agee was born in Dixons Mills, Alabama, in 1921 according to most official records, though some sources give 1930. He was the eighth child out of 17 in the family. By the age of four, he developed polio, which left him with a permanent disability. He moved to Los Angeles with his parents and family in the 1930s, and with his brothers formed a gospel singing group, the Agee Brothers, who performed in local churches.
