He formed a harmonizing group with his friends called "Four Dreamers". Nat King Cole used to play with the band.
Bluett played a soldier in Gone With the Wind in 1939. His career consisted of minor roles due to the limited opportunities for African-Americans at the time. He relocated to Vancouver in order to avoid being drafted into World War II, and returned afterwards. He died on January 1, 2016, in Los Angeles. He was 96.
