Willie Dixon was born on Jul 01, 1915 in USA. Willie Dixon's big-screen debut came with Ginger Ale Afternoon directed by Rafal Zielinski in 1989.

Blues legend Willie Dixon was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 1915. His mother was a devoutly religious person who spent much of her time writing religious poems, which gave the young Willie exposure to rhyming and meter. At a young age he sang with a gospel group called the Union Jubilee Singers, who had a show on radio station WQBC in Vicksburg. He briefly gave up singing for a career as a boxer, but soon returned to his first love, music.
