About
Howard Biggs is primarily known for his involvement with doo wop and other styles of vocal harmony groups in the early days of rock & roll. Like nearly all the musicians involved in the doo wop genre, Biggs was also active in many other styles of music.
As a pianist he led his own bands as well as working with jazz vocalists such as Dinah Washington, and his skill as an arranger contributed to every musical situation he was in. The best known Biggs arrangement would be the massive hit “Get a Job”, recorded by the Silhouettes in 1957 and a number one hit when finally released the following year.
Born: October 13, 1916 in Seattle, Washington, USA
