Everard Williams

Well supported

Everard Williams wrote much of the repertoire recorded by Chin's Calypso Sextet in the 1950s, including "Night Food", and played maracas on the sessions. He is one of the era's least credited figures: a working lyricist behind a catalogue usually filed under the performers' names.
