Joe Perkins

Joe Perkins (born December 1, 1935)[1] was an American singer whose song, "Little Eeefin' Annie", was a minor hit in 1963, reaching number 76 on the Billboard chart. The song featured eefer Jimmie Riddle. He was born in Nashville, Tennessee.

For the soap opera character, see Joe Perkins (Santa Barbara). For the American blues pianist, see Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins.

'Eeef' could possibly relate to 'Eeep', as the native African languages left a distinctive pronunciation pattern upon the English spoken by Americanized Africans. This may have been in part an inspiration to Jerry Garcia to write the song "Eep Hour", and may also have been at least a partial inspiration for The Grateful Dead song, "Cumberland Blues".
