Biography
American jazz and blues singer and bassist, chiefly associated with the Kansas City blues style. He won fame as a "blues shouter", a singer whose voice was powerful enough, without microphone amplification, for an auditorium—even with big band accompaniment.
Miller was 193 cm in height (6 ft., 3.5 inches) and weighed more than 115 kilograms (over 250 lb.). He acquired the nickname "Big" while playing football as a teenager.
He was the subject of a 1980 documentary "Big and the Blues", produced through the National Film Board of Canada. "Big" Miller died on 9 June 1992 in Edmonton at the age of 69 of a heart attack.
