Autry DeWalt Jr. Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Autry DeWalt Mixon, Jr. (June 14, 1931 – November 23, 1995), known by the stage name Junior Walker, was an American musician. His group, Junior Walker & the All Stars, were signed to the Motown label in the 1960s, and became one of the label's signature acts.
Walker, who was a musician but not a singer, sang lead on his hit song "Shotgun" because the singer he had hired to do it didn't show up for the recording session. Walker assumed that the label would remove his vocal track and redub it with a professional singer, but they didn't, and the song shot to #4 on the US pop charts and #1 on the R&B charts.
