“Mr. Big Stuff” Singer Jean Knight Dies at 80
Jean Knight, the singer best known for the 1971 hit “Mr. Big Stuff,” has died, the Stax Museum of American Soul Music said in a statement
Knight, 80, died Nov. 22 of undisclosed causes, the museum said.
With more than 3 million copies sold, “Mr. Big Stuff” made Knight Stax’s best-selling female artist.
“We’re saddened to hear about the passing of Jean Knight … our hearts and minds are with the family,” the Malaco Music Group said in a statement.
Knight scored other hits with “You Think You’re Hot Stuff” in 1981 and “My Toot Toot” in ’85. But “Mr. Big Stuff” remained her signature.
“(It) is better to me now than 31 years ago,” Knight told an interviewer in 2002. “All I have to do is sit at home and wait for the mailman.”
Knight was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
