Brother Bones

Brother Bones

Brother Bones (born Freeman Davis, October 4, 1902 – June, 1974) was an American whistling and bone-playing musician from Montgomery, Alabama. His late 1940s recording of the 1925 standard "Sweet Georgia Brown" became internationally famous after being adopted as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in 1952. Despite the success of this record, Brother Bones himself remained relatively unknown.

Another of his recordings, "Black Eyed Susan Brown", was sampled in the De La Soul song "Pease Porridge" on the 1991 album "De La Soul is Dead".
