Dr. John ma anche come Dr. John Creaux, o The Night Tripper The Voodoo Rocker e The Zu Zu Man, pseudonimo di Malcolm John Rebennack , Jr.,, detto Mac (New Orleans, 21 novembre 1941 – New Orleans, 6 giugno 2019), è stato un cantautore, pianista e chitarrista statunitense, considerato uno degli esponenti più rappresentativi della tradizione musicale di New Orleans.. Il suo stile pittoresco, oltre ad attingere alla cultura voodoo e il Mardi Gras della sua città natale, fonde molte espressioni di popular music americana, tra cui blues, pop, zydeco, boogie-woogie, rock and roll, country e jazz. Quest'ultimo genere, in modo particolare, venne approfondito dal musicista a partire dalla seconda metà degli anni settanta, come conferma inoltre una serie di collaborazioni con artisti provenienti da tale contesto. I musicisti che sono stati per lui un punto di riferimento sono Prince La La, Professor Longhair, Huey "Piano" Smith, Allen Toussaint e James Booker. Dr. John collaborò con un grande numero di artisti, tra cui Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Sonny & Cher, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Art Blakey, Chris Barber, David "Fathead" Newman, B.B. King, Doc Pomus, Tom Scott e Rickie Lee Jones. I suoi brani vennero interpretati da Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Delaney & Bonnie e Ben E. King. Wikipedia
