“both of Hunter's parents died when he was
eleven years old. Subsequently, he quit school and helped support his family
with his music…pop stars such as Eddie Fisher and Pat Boone scrambled to
record cover versions of his songs. R&B's smoothest innovator, Hunter could
pound bawdy boogie like Fats Waller, create intimate swing like Duke Ellington,
and bring out the best in simple, tender ballads Nat King Cole-style” (Contemporary Musicians).
