Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack, Jr. (born November 21, 1940), better known as Dr. John (also Dr. John Creaux, also The Night Tripper). His music combines blues, pop, jazz as well as Zydeco, boogie woogie and rock and roll. Although he didn't become widely known until the 1970s, Dr. John had been active in the music industry since the late '50s, when the teenager was still known as Mac Rebennack. A formidable boogie and blues pianist with a lovable growl of a voice, his most enduring achievements have fused New Orleans R&B, rock, and Mardi Gras craziness to come up with his own brand of "voodoo" music. Here in a music video long before the slickness of MTV he parades as the 'The Night Tripper'.
