Charles Wigg Walker

Charles "Wigg" Walker is a veteran soul and R&B singer with a career spanning over six decades. Born on July 12, 1940 in Nashville, Tennessee, Walker got his nickname "Wigg" from his mother due to being born with a full head of hair. He began his professional music career in 1959, recording for Ted Jarrett's Champion label in Nashville before moving to New York City.

Throughout his long career, Walker has shared stages with legendary artists like James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Etta James, and Sam Cooke. He's recorded for notable labels including Chess and Decca, and even spent time as a staff writer for Motown in the 1970s. After years of performing and recording, Walker has recently returned with new music, including his 2025 album "This Love Is Gonna Last," which marks his first new release in over a decade.
