Name[edit]

HE GOT HIS NICKNAME FROM THE COLOR OF HIS HAIR AND HIS RED FRECKLES

There appears to be a missing element to the phrase: Piano Red's name came from his albino pigmentation. Albino pigmentation implies white, not red. I think I know what the gap is, but someone who knows should fix this. -- Jeff Q 00:34, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Look at a picture of Piano Red and you will see how he got his nickname. Not all albino people have the same skin color. Allon Fambrizzi 02:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)Allon Fambrizzi[reply]

Dates[edit]

Does he have a birth date? -Chewbacca 06:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

This article is titled Willie Lee Perryman rather than Piano Red, but that of his brother is titled Speckled Red rather than Rufus Perryman. Should there not be consistency between the two? Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:44, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I spontaneously thought when I first saw the article a long time ago and didn' dare doing --- and I'm gonna do it right now !!! StefanWirz (talk) 11:34, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK. The original move from Piano Red to WLP was made in this edit by User:BD2412. I think there are arguments either way, in fact, but hopefully we can agree the best approach. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:42, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was common understanding to use the name the resp. artist is best know by (even if it's "merely" a stage name); in the case of William Lee Perryman one could discuss if perhaps the stage name of "Dr. Feelgood" should suit him better, but never ever "William" resp. "Willie Lee Perryman" ... What about changing "Muddy Waters" to "McKinley Morganfield ;-) StefanWirz (talk) 11:54, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but we'll see if BD2412 has a different view. Regards, Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:05, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't contribute material that has no relevance.[edit]

I removed this: "Dr. Feelgood is a British pub rock band which was formed in 1971. The name of the band, Dr. Feelgood, is slang for heroin, or for doctors who are prepared to overprescribe drugs." Why was it on this page? A 20 second listen to the song "Dr. Feelgood" would have told the contributor that the song is about sex not heroin. Ditto Aretha Franklin's "Dr. Feelgood". — Preceding unsigned comment added by StonePeter (talk • contribs) 03:20, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Piano ( Dr. Feelgood ) Red[edit]

First of all there are some changes that need to be made. I can tell you anything that you want to know. I can tell you things that nobody else can tell you and the reason being is because I'm his son. His name was never William it's Willie. I'm Willie Lee Perryman jr. I'm about to start shooting a document and doing interviews with original members of his band.and taking photos of where he did his radio show for WAOK in the back yard at 165 Mathewson Pl. In Atlanta where I was born and raised. I know more about my Father than anyone else can tell you. I also started to perform with my dad at age 14. Plus I know the history of his life before I was born. So some of the things I read are Not correct and some are made up. If anyone should know that will be me. So if theres anything that I can help you with when it come to my Father feel free to call me [removed] or by e-mail [removed] and Thank You So much for your Time. Willie L. Perryman ll. aka Angelo Feelgood Angelo Feelgood (talk) 23:22, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, and thank you for your input here. I've removed your email and phone number from your message as they may compromise security and will attract spammers. We aspire to creating a resource that contains complete and accurate information, about your father and about everything else. However.... Wikipedia is intended only to summarize information that has already been published elsewhere. We have policy statements like this - "In Wikipedia, verifiability means that anyone using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it."

Per our policy on conflict of interest, it would be best if you did not edit the article yourself. However, where there is strong evidence that what has previously been published is wrong, we can try to make that clear, for example by using footnotes. Perhaps it would be best if you could make a list of the parts of your father's biography that are simply wrong, add it below, to this talk page (rather than editing the article yourself), and the community of editors here can come to a view on what should be included in the article. I'll add a guide at the top of your talk page, which may help you. Thanks again for your input, and please advise us further - we are happy to help.
