JAMES "BLAZER BOY" LOCKS
Blazer Boy was a popular vocalist that often worked around the Tijuana Club in the late 1940s and the early 1950s. Very much influenced by the then popular style of Charles Brown, Blazer Boy was one of the first artists signed to the fledging Regal label. Blazer Boy also recorded for Dave at Imperial Records in the early 1950s but
dropped off the music scene not long after.
