Born the 4th May 1938, Greenville, Mississippi. Tyrone Davis died on Wednesday the 9th of February 2005, at the age of 66. He had suffered a stroke last September. Tyrone was taken to the Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and never regained consciousness. This former Freddie King valet was discovered working in Chicago nightclubs by pianist Harold Burrage. His hits, included 'Turn Back the Hands of Time' and 'Can I Change My Mind', recorded for the Carl Davis Dakar imprint. 'Can I Change My Mind', recorded in 1968, was his first chart entry, and was originally recorded as a b-side. He also recorded 'Is It Something You've Got'. During the 1970's he recorded 'I Had It All The Time', in 1972, and 'Without You In My Life', in 1973. 'There It Is' followed in 1973, followed by 'The Turning Point' in 1975. For Soul followers, probably his career high point was reached with the album, and title track, 'In The Mood' in 1979. 'Are You Serious' followed in 1982. Tyrone Davis is survived by his wife, Ann, and numerous children and grandchildren.
