Alex or Aleck Miller (né Ford, possibly December 5, 1912 – May 24, 1965), known later in his career as Sonny Boy Williamson, was an American blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter. He was an early and influential blues harp stylist who recorded successfully in the 1950s and 1960s. Miller used various names, including Rice Miller and Little Boy Blue, before calling himself Sonny Boy Williamson, which was also the name of a popular Chicago blues singer and harmonica player. To distinguish the two, Miller has been referred to as Sonny Boy Williamson II.

He first recorded with Elmore James on "Dust My Broom". Some of his popular songs include "Don't Start Me Talkin'", "Help Me", "Checkin' Up on My Baby", and "Bring It On Home". He toured Europe with the American Folk Blues Festival and recorded with English rock musicians, including the Yardbirds, the Animals, and Jimmy Page. "Help Me" became a blues standard, and many blues and rock artists have recorded his songs.

My baby`s a kind hearted woman

So lovely, so sweet, she so kind

Yeah, she`s a kind hearted woman

So lovely, so sweet, she`s so kind

She`s got such a cool disposition

She just makes me love her all the time

She got me pretty please

Peoples, I just can`t sleep at night

Got me pretty please

You know boys, I just can`t sleep at night

I don`t even my breakfast in the morning

And my teeth and tongue beggin to fight

Yes, she`s forty one through the shoulders

Twenty nine in the waist

I`ll never find another woman

to take my baby`s place

She`s so lovely, she`s so sweet, she`s so kind

She`s got such a cool disposition

makes me love her all the time.
