Born in Ibadan in the late-1940s, he was elusive, which created an air of mystique. He kept a nightingale in his home. His contemporaries included I. K. Dairo and Dele Ojo. Nightingale was credited with the Owambe system popular among Lagos socialites, who sponsored him on a tour abroad. When he returned, he signed with the TYC label and recorded over 40 albums in his career. Modern stars like King Sunny Ade continue to be influenced by his style.
