Tyrone Davis - Leland
Tyrone Davis, one of America’s most popular soul singers, was born on a plantation near Leland on May 4, 1938. Davis lived in Leland before moving to Chicago, where he began his career billed as “Tyrone the Wonder Boy.” From 1969 to 1988 Davis had forty-three singles on the national rhythm & blues charts, including the No. 1 hits “Can I Change My Mind,” “Turn Back the Hands of Time,” and “Turning Point.” His aunt and uncle once operated a cafe at this site.
Tyrone Davis’ appealing brand of romantic soul music was not blues in the traditional sense, but Davis was regarded by many as a significant figure in the blues world. He was especially popular with many of the same African American listeners who appreciated bluesmen such as Little Milton, Bobby Bland, and Albert King and he often starred with these and other blues artists in concerts and festivals. Davis’ songs were also staples in the repertoires of countless blues bands in the Delta, Chicago, and across the country.
