Edwin Joseph Bocage ("Eddie Bo") (September 20, 1930 – March 18, 2009) was an American singer and one of the last New Orleans junker-style pianists. Schooled in jazz, he was known for his blues, soul and funk recordings, compositions, productions and arrangements. He debuted on Ace Records in 1955 and released more single records than anyone else in New Orleans other than Fats Domino. His song "Hook & Sling" was featured on the breakbeat compilation "Ultimate Breaks and Beats" and on the rare groove compilation Rare Grooves Vol. 1.
