R&B drummer, songwriter & producer based in Chicago. Owned Sagport Records. Zona Sago (real name Allan Williams) was a fairly obscure Chicago drummer, arranger, producer and sometime Calypso singer. Starting in the early '50s, he recorded for Joe Brown's JOB and Abco labels, and as "The Emperor" had one record on Argo (the Chess subsidiary) in 1956. He then moved into production, producing and writing Jody Gayles' fine funk 45 "You Gotta Push" on Thomas in 1970. Sag-Port was one of his labels.
