I was just reading my blog about the Peter Green concert and noticed I'd mentioned "Little Willie John". Bluesman from the early 50s - I think. This got me to thinking: "Little Willie John" ? Was he just short, or did he indeed have a little willy ? A willy that was actually that small, it necessitated a soubriquet that drew attention to the fact ! Possibly in order to warn women (or men) that: he may have fired you up with 'The Devil's Music', but, by God you're gonna be mightily disappointed later.
I think if anyone knows the answer to this it would be Paul Gambacini or, at a pinch, John Peel.
Or even. perhaps, Mrs Little Willie John !
