Seriously?

edit

This article is more than 17 years old. It contains 14 paragraphs of text (in fairness, some are one-sentence paragraphs). There are three references. Three. References. One fails to verify the text that it is connected to, one is an album liner, and one is a probably-unneeded reference to the writing of "Because the Night." How does this happen? 74.67.6.88 (talk) 02:55, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Over the past hour, I have just doubled the number of references (which wasn't difficult) and cleaned up the article. The article still needs an awful lot. 74.67.6.88 (talk) 03:34, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

The “Professor” moniker

edit

It likely comes from the tradition of piano players in New Orleans brothels being called professor. Probably had little to do with Roy’s college education, but I wasn’t there, so cannot guarantee accuracy 2600:1700:5820:3940:603D:97D1:64BF:E27D (talk) 15:35, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
