Esquerita é o nome artístico do cantor, compositor e pianista Eskew Reeder Jr.. Ele
nasceu em Greenville, Carolina do Sul em 20 de novembro de 1935, e faleceu
no Harlem em 23 de outubro de 1986 vítima da AIDS. É creditado como influência do
pioneiro do Rock and Roll Little Richard, mas também é cogitada a possibilidade dessa
influência ter ocorrido ao contrário.

Participações não confirmadas[editar | editar código-fonte]
Didn't It Rain Part 1/Didn't It Rain Part 2 (1959?) (The Clovertones & Rev. Willie
Green). Enrica 122, reissued on Eagle Records CD, EA-R 90421 (2001), and recently
reissued on vinyl (posing as Enrica 122 again) (the Esquerita link appears only on the
back of the Eagle CD; there is no mention of him elsewhere)
Touch Of The Spirit (Evangelist Rosa Shaw). Rae-Cox 103 (1962), reissued on Eagle
Records CD, EA-R 90420 (2001). The original single credits Robert Banks as
keyboardist - organ, presumeably - but nothing is mentioned about Esquerita.
Hour Of Prayer (Evangelist Rosa Shaw). Rae-Cox 103 (1962), reissued on Eagle
Records CD, EA-R 90420 (2001). The claim on the back of the Eagle CD is that
Esquerita appears on piano; however, this track (Hour of Prayer) is only vocal—there is
no instrumental backing.
Didn't It Rain/I Hear Voices (by Screamin Jay Hawkins) (Norton #127) (2005) (reissue
of 2 tracks from the Eagle CDs (EA-R 90420 and EA-R 90421, see above).
