Sam Frazier, Jr. (born August 12, 1944) is an American blues singer, songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player.
== Early life ==
Sam Frazier, Jr. was born in a mining town of Edgewater, Alabama, United States, a small mining community near Birmingham. His parents were Teretta and Sam Frazier, Sr. Sam had four sisters and one brother. His father was a coal miner and many of the stories he brought home influenced his career as a songwriter and performer. After observing the hard life his father endured, the one thing Sam knew that he did not want to be was a coal miner. To help earn money for a growing family, Sam's mother would hold big back yard barbecues on Friday night...which most times lasted until early Saturday morning. Although it was illegal, she operated a "shot house", selling liquor from the home. As a result of the large crowds that the barbecue and liquor sales drew, entertainers started coming by and playing for the crowd for donations, free barbecue and liquor. Sonny Boy Williamson was a regular and Jimmy Reed also came by. Sam was fascinated with the harmonica and it was Williamson who gave Sam his first harmonica and gave him a lesson in blues harmonica technique. When there were no entertainers, a "Rock' Ola" juke box provided the music. Sam attended Edgewater Elementary school through 9th grade. At the tenth grade level, he attended Westfield High School. At the age of 17, Sam went to stay with his Uncle Willie Perry in Linden, Alabama. His Uncle managed a large plantation. It was here that Frazier got a real taste of country living, complete with picking cotton, bailing hay, and milking cows. While in Linden, Sam attended and completed High School at Linden Academy.
