Charles "Wigg" Walker is a legendary R&B and soul singer from Nashville, Tennessee. Born in 1940, he earned his iconic nickname from his mother because he was born with a full head of hair shaped like a wig. He is celebrated as a living pioneer of rhythm and blues.
Throughout his decades-spanning career, Walker has shared the stage with music royalty, including James Brown, Sam Cooke, Etta James, and Otis Redding. He initially began his career in the thriving R&B scene on Nashville's Jefferson Street before moving to New York City in his 20s. There, he fronted the J.C. Davis Band and later formed Little Charles and the Sidewinders, recording for Chess and Decca Records.
After spending more than 30 years touring internationally, particularly in Europe, Walker returned to his hometown. He is a prominent fixture on the Nashville live music scene.
