Standing 6’ 5” 300 pounds, Sugaray Rayford is a formidable force. Critics consider Sugaray Rayford to be one of the greatest and last blues shouters; in the same league, as: Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy Rushing, Big Joe Turner. Rarely does a singer appear carrying within him the gift of universal appeal that towers above tastes and trends. Grammy Award nominated, Sugaray Rayford is such an artist. Nominated for BB King Entertainer of the year multiple times.
