Hal GILLES
Gilles (sometimes spelled "Gilies") from Evanston, Il. His chief claim to showbiz fame was his association with the novelty act "Herr Louie and the Weasel" which appeared at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933. He was "The Weasel."
Better for all concerned with the risqué was his presumed contribution to the numerous "Old Ladies Stuck in the Lavatory." He was a prolific writer last seen in a five year run at the Gay '90's room of the Hotel La Salle in Chicago. Herbi Hardt recorded as a single.

Coot GRANT and Sox WILSON
Real names Leola B. Wilson (nee Pettigrew) born June 17,1893 and “Kid” Wesley Wilson, (born Oct. 1, 1893- died Oct 10, 1958 in Cape May Court House, NJ.) Recorded extensively for race labels beginning in the mid-1920's, including their classic "Keep Your Hands Off My Mojo" for Okeh. Prolific songwriters and popular performers, the team appeared in the film Emperor Jones in 1933. Their popularity waned in the late 1930’s and Sox was in ill health by the 1950’s. First, a very special bit of curiosa Americana by Wilson with Harry McDaniels. It was ensconced in Columbia’s race catalog and sported what was arguably the most pungent artist credit of the decade.
