Winston Walls (October 17, 1942 Ironton, Ohio – February 5, 2008 Fort Myers, Florida) was an American jazz musician who played the Hammond B3 organ.
His father was Harry Van Walls, who played piano for Big Joe Turner.[1] He grew up in Charleston, West Virginia and played drums and piano in his teens. He was hired by Bill Doggett as a drummer, but during breaks he replaced Doggett on organ and built his career as a keyboardist. He worked with George Benson, Lou Donaldson, Al Green, Brother Jack McDuff, Pointer Sisters, Charley Pride, Sonny Stitt, Ike & Tina Turner, and Dionne Warwick. Schoolkids Records released his first album, Boss of the B-3.
I had the opportunity to play in his group when he was in Denver in 1986. He billed himself as Dr. Who in those days. He kept the clubs jumpin'
