Born in Houston, Milburn started an R&B band after leaving the Navy. He was “voted Top R&B Artist” in 1949 and 1950” and was known for a string of “romping boogies about drinking and partying.” His career ebbed in the sixties as he played his old hits in clubs before retiring to his hometown (The Encyclopedia of Popular Music).
