Doug Duffey

Duffey's career runs through funk as much as blues. His first single, cut in Nashville in 1970, was named a pick hit by Billboard, Cashbox and Record World. He moved to Hollywood in his early twenties and went on to record with or write for George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins and Maceo Parker, and to write songs with or for Keith Richards and Herbie Hancock. He has played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival since the late 1970s. He entered the Louisiana Hall of Fame in 2001 and the National Blues Hall of Fame in 2009.
