I gotta say, I was surprised when I started rounding up the artists that used "Big" as a prefix to their name. Not surprised at the quantity, but surprised that the short list I could come up with without much effort contained more than its share of all-timers. Most are rhythm and blues artists with one jazz "Big" (Big John Patton) and one blues (Big Joe Williams). Even the Big Bopper laid off the "Hello baby" schtick long enough to boogie. Hey, this "Big" thing is an admittedly weak thread, but check the goods. It's some pretty good shit.
