Ellsworth Johnson naît à Charleston (Caroline du Sud) le 31 octobre 1905. Il est surnommé « Bumpy » à cause d'une large bosse (bump) derrière la tête. Alors qu'il a dix ans, son frère aîné, Willie, est accusé d'avoir tué un homme blanc.
Johnson was under a federal indictment for drug conspiracy when he died of a heart attack on July 7, 1968, at the age of 62. He was at Wells Restaurant in Harlem shortly before 2 a.m., and the waitress had just served him coffee, a chicken leg, and hominy grits, when he fell over clutching his chest. [1]
