Sam Gary was an African-American blues-, spiritual- and folk-singer, who to a wider public has been known above all for his long-lasting musical cooperation with his much more famous friend and fellow musician Josh White.
As an ensemble musician (bass singer) Sam Gary in the 1940s was a member of Josh White and his Carolinians and the Almanac Singers, as soloist he in 1956 - produced by Dean Gitter (alias 'Dean Laurence') and with guitar accompaniment by Josh White - recorded an album for the British record label Esquire, which one year later came out in the USA on Tom Wilson's (best known as producer of Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Simon and Garfunkel and The Velvet Underground records) Transition Records.
