Sonny Henry

American jazz guitarist, sideman and songwriter, born May 20, 1932 in New York City, and died May 10, 1997. Best remembered for the composition “Evil Ways”, originally performed by Willie Bobo but made famous by Cal Tjader and Santana. "Evil Ways" is often miscredited to Jimmie Zack, a rockabilly singer who co-wrote and recorded a different song with the same name. In these instances, please use the unlinked "Written By" entry for Zack, and use "Written-By [Uncredited]" to credit Henry. Do not confuse with the New Orleans R&B singer Clarence "Frogman" Henry.
