Most of Hooker’s recordings for Vee-Jay were done in Bill Putnam’s newly built studio, Universal Recording Corporation, on 46 E. Walton Street in Chicago, with his ”#2-man”, Bernie Clapper, engineering (in studio 2). Hooker’s Vee-Jay ”contacts” were Jimmy Bracken, Ewart Abner and especially Calvin Carter, who also was the foremost producer. When Putnam in 1957 started his United Recording at Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, Clapper took the lead in Chicago.
