Little Sonny Warner

Little Sonny Warner

Haywood (Little Sonny) Warner (October 30, 1930 — April 12, 2007) was an American blues singer.

In the early 50s, Warner sang backup for Van Walls on the Atlantic Records releases "After Midnight" and "Open the Door". His career received a boost in 1957, when he filled in for Lloyd Price at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem.

Warner's biggest hit was saxophonist Big Jay McNeely's "There's Something On Your Mind", which became a gold record for Checker Records in 1959. He performed with James Brown, Etta James and B.B. King. In his later years, Warner often performed at concerts and festivals in the Falls Church, Virginia area.
