 Born Joseph Woodman Lutcher on 23rd December 1919, one of ten surviving children (out of 15), to Susie and Isaac Lutcher of Lake Charles, Louisiana; a highly musical family that was large enough to boast its own orchestra featuring Father on bass, sister Nellie on piano, brother Isaac Jr. on banjo and little Joe on saxophone. Nellie moved out to California in the mid 1930s and by 1941, Joe followed her out there. He was drafted into the US Navy in 1942, leaving in 1945 to return to Los Angeles and resume his musical aspirations. Offered a job at the prestigious Café Society, Lutcher formed a band which he dubbed "The Society Cats" and it was here in early 1947 that he was discovered by Art Rupe of Specialty Records. Rupe signed Lutcher to his first recording contract, and their venture was rewarded with a Billboard R&B hit in Rockin' Boogie (#14 Sep 1948),
