Musicians Born On July 5 Born July 5, 1913 or 1920: Smiley Lewis was an American New Orleans rhythm and blues musician. The journalist Tony Russell, in his book The Blues - From Robert Johnson to Robert Cray, stated Lewis was the unluckiest man in New Orleans. He hit on a formula for slow-rocking, small-band numbers like The Bells Are Ringing and I Hear You Knocking only to have Fats Domino come up behind him with similar music more ingratiatingly delivered. Lewis was practically drowned in Dominos backwash. Smiley Lewis - I Hear You Knockin - youtu.be/VbdOEE5LvIw
