Willie Lee Perryman (October 19, 1911 - 1985) was an American self-taught pianist who played in the barrelhouse blues style.
His performing and recording careers emerged during the period of transition between completely segregated "race music" and "rhythm and blues", which was marketed to white audiences. Some music historians credit Perryman's 1950 recording Rocking With Red for the popularization of the term rock and roll in Atlanta.
