Huey "Piano" Smith

Huey Pierce Smith (January 26, 1934 – February 13, 2023), known as Huey "Piano" Smith, was an American rhythm-and-blues pianist whose sound was influential in the development of rock and roll. His piano playing incorporated the boogie-woogie styles of Pete Johnson, Meade Lux Lewis, and Albert Ammons, the jazz style of Jelly Roll Morton and the rhythm-and-blues style of Fats Domino. He was popular in the 1950s and kept on doing music until the late 1960s. He eventually joined Jehova's Witnesses and left the music business permanently.
