I'm reminded of T-Bone Walker, whose given name was Thibeault. Pharoah was a name bestowed on Mr. Sanders by Sun Ra when the saxophonist was in his band.

That's good to know! Still, I think that Pharoah is properly considered a nickname rather than a stage name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Yeah, the OP clarified "stage names" to mean musicians' non-given names. I'm sure there's a better way to put all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
