Baby Washington

Greetings all.

Today’s post begins our second week of Christmas-related soul, and what better way to start than with a tasty 45 by the great Baby Washington.

Justine ‘Baby’ Washington started her career in the mid-50s as a member of the Hearts, then an early incarnation of the Jaynetts before embarking on a solo recording career that lasted three decades.

Baby Washington had a string of R&B hits that lasted from 1959 to 1980, the bulk of them recorded for the Sue label.

Today’s selection, ‘White Christmas’ was originally issued on Sue in 1966 (with ‘Silent Night’ on the flip), then issued again on Veep in 1967.

Washington’s version of ‘White Christmas’ chugs along at a mid-tempo pace (the bass and drums are DEEP) with a great lead vocal, and some cool backing vocals.

The arrangement (by Frank Williams) has enough kick for the dancers, with some brass and strings mixed just enough to be noticed, yet not so much that the grit disappears.

What’s interesting is that the original Sue release is much sparer affair, with the strings, horns and backing singers added on for the Veep issue in 1967.

I’m still undecided which version I like better. If you go back and listen to the original, it has a great, basic soulful kick which I dig. However, the additions on the version I’m posting here today never rise to the level of gilding the lily, having been applied wisely.

All I know, is now I have to go out and find a copy of the Sue version.

I hope you dig the record, and I’ll see you all on Wednesday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Freddy King

Greetings all.

The end of the week is here, and so then is the Funky16Corners Radio Show Christmas Special! Join me this Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio for an hour of the best soulful and funky Christmas tunes. If you can’t join me at airtime, you can always subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device through the TuneIn app, or grab an MP3 here at the blog.

I thought it would be cool to close out the week with a Christmas 45 by one of my personal favorites, the mighty Freddy King.

Freddy King was a master of the guitar who recorded a grip of very tasty blues, R&B, soul and funk records between 1960 and his untimely death in 1976.

He got his start recording for the Federal label, racking up an impressive string of R&B hits in 1961 (four Top 10 hits that year!) including his debut hit ‘Hideaway’ (a big influence on the British R&Beat crowd) and ‘San-Ho-Zay’.

He recorded for Federal and King through the ’60s, eventually moving on to Cotillion and then Shelter.

King was – like Albert Collins – a cat who is thought of today as a blues player, but was much more than that, recording searing rock and R&B, soul and even funk, eventually settling into a blues groove late in his career.

His Federal 45s are indispensable, and ought to be grabbed whenever they are encountered in the field.

Though he was nothing if not prolific, it would appear that his 1961 45 ‘I Hear Jingle Bells’ b/w ‘Christmas Tears’ was his only holiday effort.

Opening with (naturally) a quote from ‘Jingle Bells’, soon followed by King’s high, clear tenor, some piano and his own razor sharp guitar, ‘I Hear Jingle Bells’ is a rocking pleasure from start to finish.

Freddy King was a badass of the first order, and if you get a chance you should shuffle on over to Youtube and check out his performances on the mid-60s TV show ‘The Beat’.

I hope you dig the sounds, and I’ll see you with some more Christmas ish on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Minnie Riperton

Greetings all.

Our soulful Christmas grooves continue today with a very nice piece of Chicago soul.

The Gems recorded a handful of 45s for the Chess label between 1963 and 1965.

Asa group, they are of particular interest for including in their midst the mighty Minnie Riperton.

The group started out (and initially signed to Chess) as the Lovettes, changing their name to the Gems in 1963.

They recorded one 45 before original lead singer Vandine Harris left the group and was replaced by Riperton.

‘Love For Christmas’ is a particularly groovy tune, and 45, since the flipside ‘All Of It’ is basically a non-holiday recasting of the same song.

Featuring a very nice lead by Minnie, and great harmonies by the group, ‘Love For Christmas’ manages to tread the line between straight soul and holiday novelty (jingle bells and whatnot) quite nicely.

After leaving the Gems, Riperton recorded two 45s for Chess under the name Andrea Davis, before moving on to join Charles Stepney’s progressive experiment, the Rotary Connection, alongside Sidney Barnes, and recording a half-dozen albums between 1967 and 1971 (and then on to her own solo career).

It is a groovy 45, and not at all expensive, so go out and grab one for your own record box.

I’ll see you on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Greetings all.

As the posts of the next few weeks will attest, I actually made an effort this year to gather some holiday-appropriate 45s in preparation for Christmas. Previous years have seen me discussing my malfeasance in this regard, but as the years have passed, I’ve made a slow, almost imperceptible k-turn, making sure that I stuff my Christmas crate as full as possible so that the blog and the radio show are both properly stocked.

I actually enjoy Christmas-oriented soul and funk, and god knows there’s plenty of it out there for those that are willing to explore.

I actually found today’s selection out in the field, whilst digging with my son.

There were already a couple of J Hines (with the Boys and the Fellows) 45s in my crates, so when I encountered ‘A Funky X Mas To You’, I had to grab it sight unheard (as it were).

Hines was very interesting character, coming out of the Carolinas to work with Roy C up in the NY area (there’s a great piece on him at Red Kelly’s Soul Detective site), recording a handful of 45s in the late 60s and early 70s.

He actually had a minor R&B hit with the extremely funky ‘Camelot Time’ (as J Hines and the Fellows) in 1973, making it to #71).

Though I haven’t been able to find a reliable discography, it would appear that ‘A Funky X Mas To You’ was probably issued in the early 70s.

Featuring Hines’ swinging guitar, and some groovy lyrics (“A big black Santa Claus,with a funk sack on his back!”), the song also features some nice horns and organ.

I really dig it a lot, and thought it’d be a great selection to kick off our holiday selections this year.

I hope you dig it too, and I’ll see you all on Wednesday with some more.

Keep the faith

Larry

Marvin Gaye and Grover Washington, Jr.

Listen/Download – Grover Washington, Jr. – Trouble Man

Greetings all.

The end of the week is here, and so I must remond you that the Funky16Corners Radio Show returns to the airwaves of the interwebs this and every Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio. If you can’t dig the show at airtime, you can subscribe to it as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device through the TuneIn app, or grab an MP3 here at the blog.

Also, make sure to stop by next week. The Christmas soul posts start on Monday, and the Funky16Corners Radio Show Christmas Special drops next Friday!

The tunes I bring you today are two versions (OG and cover) from one of the more interesting chapters in the career of the mighty Marvin Gaye.

We featured one of the mighty Marvin’s early classics here some weeks ago, and today we take a look at classic (though underplayed/underappreciated) mid-period ish.

When 1972 rolled around, Marvin had just layed ‘What’s Going On’ on the world.

How would he follow one of the greatest albums of all time?

Gaye took a step back, and decided to compose the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film ‘Trouble Man’.

He was in good company, alongside other soul stars, like Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield, who had done stellar work on the soundtrack tip.

Gaye’s soundtrack for ‘Trouble Man’ was smooth and atmospheric, perfect for late nights.

The title track of the album was a substantial hit, making it to #4 R&B and #7 Pop in December of 1972.

‘Trouble Man’ has a slow, jazzy groove, with falsetto vocals by Gaye and instrumental backing from a mixture of Funk Brothers and West Coast players.

The following year, Grover Washington, Jr.  recorded his two-part ‘Soul Box’ project, in which he layed down extended versions of ‘Trouble Man’ and the Temptations’Masterpiece’, with a host of CTI stalwarts like Bob James, Ron Carter and Idris Muhammad.

Washington’s version of ‘Trouble Man’ isn’t much of a departure from the original, with the exception of Creed Taylor’s horn and woodwind production fleshing out the sound a bit. There’s also a very nice organ solo by Richard Tee around the five-minute mark.

What is exceptional is the fact that Washington has almost 16 minutes in which to stretch and expand upon Gaye’s theme. If you dig the CTI sound (and you know I do) that is a very groovy thing indeed.

So, turn the lights down low, pour yourself a drink, let these two play back-to-back, and slide yourself into the weekend.

I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Sam Cooke

Listen/Download – Sam Cooke – A Change Is Gonna Come

Greetings all.

I hope the new day finds you well.

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but in case I haven’t, here’s something…

As a more than casual student of the interconnected nature of the Tao, and someone who has experienced the (extremely) odd coincidence now and again, the way that my life intersects with certain records often causes me to take note.

Many a time, have I been in search of a particular disc for a long time, then I get a sudden urge to look again, and there it is.

The same kind of thing often happens when I write up a record (or get ready to do so) and then I discover that some important event tied to that record (birthday, death, anniversary etc) is coming up at the same time.

I had been trying to get my hands on Sam Cooke’s final LP ‘Shake’ (specifically to get the LP-only track ‘Yeah Man’) for some time. Considering the popularity of Cooke, and the fact that the album contained no less than three hits, it surprised me how scarce a record it was, and how hard it would be to get a copy at a reasonable price.

So this fall, when I had all but given up trying, I scored a copy of the ‘Shake’ 45, and then a few weeks later  a copy of the LP verily fell in my lap (sometimes – to paraphrase my man DJ Prestige –  it less me finding the record, than the record finding me).

Last week I sat down to digimatize the discs, and what should pop up on my radar but the fact that the 50th anniversary of Cooke’s death (12/11/64) was about a week away.

Cooke has been – thanks entirely to his untimely passing – at the top of the list of transitional (and hugely influential) figures of soul music.

This is not to say that he never made any ‘pure’ soul, because the tracks above will testify to that, but rather that the bulk of his post-gospel career was divided pretty evenly between R&B, pop music and crooning.

Cooke was a brilliant singer and songwriter, and there are all indications that he would (like Jackie Wilson, an artist who’s career paralleled his) have entered the soul ‘mainstream’ had he lived, but sadly, we’ll never know.

Today’s 45, which was released about a month before the ‘Shake’ LP (it was already charting within a few weeks of his killing) was a substantial hit, both sides making it into the R&B Top 10 by the end of January 1965.

It is a study in contrasts, with ‘Shake’, a hard driving (and influential) soul number, backed with the epic civil rights ballad ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’.

‘Shake’, later covered by Otis Redding and the Small Faces among others, features some surprisingly raw rhythm guitar (Bobby Womack) running through its middle, surrounded by booming horns and solid percussion. It was recorded at Cooke’s last session, less than a month before his death.

‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ is one of those records that has an eerie depth to it. It hearkens back to Cooke’s gospel roots, but despite the title, it has never seemed to me like a hopeful song. It has the ring of inevitable resolution about it, but only as viewed through great amounts of struggle and pain.

Cooke sang the song on the Tonight Show in February of 1964 (the performance has since been lost) and never performed the song live again.

Listening to ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’, it now seems inevitable that a song and performance so powerful would be seen as a landmark of sorts.

That it was released almost simultaneously with his death has cemented that status.

So toast the memory of the mighty Sam Cooke,  dig the sounds, and I’ll see you on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry

King Curtis

Greetings all.

The new week is upons us, and I thought we’d get things started with something hot.

A few years ago I was out digging at a local fall-back spot (I say fall-back because although it is a record store, it rarely has anything good, but sometimes you just gotta get your dig on) and I happened upon a slightly beat, quite old (at least as old as I am) King Curtis album.

King Curtis was one of the most important soul players of the 1960s, as a bandleader, and as one of the most prolific sidemen in the Atlantic studios.

His albums – especially the Atlantic stuff – are plentiful and usually inexpensive, and always worth picking up when you find them.

The album in question predated his own signing with Atlantic (though he had already been all over the Coasters Atco 45s), and was recorded for Bobby Robinson’s Enjoy label in 1962.

Recorded with the Noble Knights (then composed of Ernie Hayes (organ), Billy Butler (guitar), Jimmy Lewis (bass) and Ray Lucas (drums), the LP is composed of instrumentals, with five of its eleven tracks featuring ‘Twist’ in the title.

Unlike a lot of twist cash-in sets, King Curtis had a shit-hot band, displayed to great effect on today’s selection, a cover of Ray Charles’ classic ‘What’d I Say’.

Led by Billy Butler’s guitar, the band sets off at top speed, tearing into the tune.

Oddly enough, as far as I can tell, King Curtis himself does not appear on this track at all.

The title track of the LP, ‘Soul Twist’ was a #1 R&B hit in 1962.

These sessions – which also include a stellar version of ‘Sack’o’Woe’ – have been reissued on CD.

I hope you dig the track, and I’ll see you all on Wednesday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Dee Dee Warwick

Greetings all.

The end of the week is upon us, so it’s time once again to remind you that the Funky16Corners Radio Show will be hitting the airwaves of the interwebs, this (and every) Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio. If you can’t be there at airtime, you can always subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device via the TuneIn app, or grab yourself an MP3 here at the blog.

Today’s selection is another one (like Wednesday’s tune) of those tracks that made it into my ears via a British Invasion singer first.

A while back I managed to put my hands on a copy of Chris Farlowe’s ‘The Art of Chris Farlowe’ LP.

Farlowe, first with his band the Thunderbirds, and later on as the vocalist of Colosseum, was one of the really interesting UK singers that never made a serious dent here in the US.

A singularly unusual looking and sounding cat, Farlowe had excellent taste in R&B and soul, and ‘The Art of Chris Farlowe’ is packed with covers of artists like the Four Tops, Jimmy Ruffin, Darrell Banks, Garnet Mimms, and Dee Dee Warwick.

I fell in love with the song ‘We’re Doing Fine’ and with a little digging discovered that it had originally been recorded by Dee Dee Warwick in 1965 for the Blue Rock label.

Written by Horace Ott, the song starts off deceptively quietly, with Warwick eventually joining the acoustic guitar that opens the record.

By the time the band kicks in – brass, strings and electric guitar (arranged by Ott, produced by Ed Townsend) – what you get is a powerful, melodically sophisticated soul 45.

‘We’re Doing Fine’ was Dee Dee Warwick’s first hit, making into the R&B Top 30 in August of 1965. She would continue to score hits into the mid-70s.

I hope you dig the track, and I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

The Shirelles

Greetings all.

If you follow the Funky16Corners Radio Show, you will recall that a while back I did a two-episode arc devoted to the original versions of tunes made famous by British Invasion bands in the mid-60s.

Today’s selection, ‘Sha-La-La’ by the Shirelles is one of them.

Oddly, as well as I knew the version by Manfred Mann (one of my fave UK groups) I had no idea until recently that the song was a cover.

The song was a minor hit for the Shirelles in the Spring of 1964, grazing the Pop Top 50, having even less of an impact on the R&B charts.

Manfred Mann covered it, changing the tempo from a brisk shuffle to a fast 4/4, taking it into the Top 40 in October of 1964.

Despite the fact that it took me a little while to get used to the tempo change, I think I’ve come to appreciate the Shirelles version more. In addition to the girls’ vocals, you get some solid soul clapping and a great (LOUD) bass pushing things along.

Despite some solid quality in their later 45s (how about ‘Last Minute Miracle’?) this was the highest the Shirelles would find themselves on the charts before they transitioned into the ‘oldies’ circuit.

I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you all on Friday.

Keep the faith

Tony Camillo

Greetings all.

I thought we’d get the week started with something smooth, and a little bit funky.

‘The Black Motion Picture Experience’ LP, credited to the Cecil Holmes Soulful Sounds has long been a crate diggers staple, packed as it is with rerecordings of early 70s Blaxploitation soundtrack heavies.

As popular as it is, the LP has continued to elude me in the field. However, a few months back I was out digging and what should I turn up, but the 45 you see before you.

The big question for me, was always, who is ‘Cecil Holmes’?

The answer, as it turns out, is someone who had little or nothing to do with this record.

The Cecil Holmes that gave the record his name was a record executive (prominently for Casablanca Records).

There were a few different projects released sporting his name in the early 70s, including the Cecil Holmes Soulful Sounds, and the Cecil Holmes Orchestra.

What both of these groups have in common, beside the lack of any direct musical involvement by Holmes, is the guiding hand of Tony Camillo.

Best remembered for his 1975 disco/funk hit ‘Dynomite!’ (credited to Tony Camillo’s Bazuka), Camillo was a NY/NJ-based composer/arranger/producer.

‘The Black Motion Picture Experience’ LP was recorded and released in 1973, featuring a band of East Coast studio heavies.

The track I feature today is their version of Curtis Mayfield’s theme from ‘Superfly’.

Camillo and band take the track, smooth it out and open it up just a bit, turning up the bass and giving the drums plenty of room to snap.

Naturally, things suffer from the absence of the mighty Curtis, but the sounds are still groovy.

There was one more LP by Cecil Holmes Soulful Sounds, the slowjam collection ‘Music For Soulful Lovers’ (also 1973), again featuring Camillo.

I hope you dig the track, and I’ll see you all on Wednesday.

Keep the faith
