Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack, Jr. better known by the stage name Dr. John is an American singer/songwriter, pianist and guitarist whose music combines blues, pop, jazz as well as Zydeco, boogie woogie and rock and roll.
Rebennack gained fame as a solo artist, beginning in the late 1960s. In the 70's, Dr. John expanded his career beyond the psychedelic voodoo music and theatrics that had driven his career since he took on the Dr. John persona, although it has always remained an integral part of his music and identity. By the mid-1970s, Rebennack began focusing on a blend of music that touched on blues, New Orleans R&B, Tin Pan Alley standards and more. Dr. John: a true legend on the American music scene, who, in addition to a tremendously successful solo career, has contributed his musical talents to dozens of famed American recordings.
