<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8btOw69-Ow" title="Arthur Conley - Sweet Soul Music (The Sam and Dave Show, 1967) Born January 4, 1946 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, died November 17, 2003, Ruurlo, the Netherlands. Recalled as something of a one-hit-wonder, this Otis Redding protégé remains underrated. Conley first recorded for the Atlanta-based NRC label as Arthur And The Corvets. After signing to his mentor Otis Redding's Jotis label, further singles were leased to Volt and Stax Records before 'Sweet Soul Music' (1967) hit both the US R&B and pop charts (number 2 on the latter). A thin reworking of Sam Cooke's 'Yeah Man' found the song's original lyrics amended to pay homage to several contemporary soul singers. Although 'Funky Street' was a US Top 20 hit, Redding's tragic death forestalled Conley's progress. Minor successes followed throughout 1968 and 1969 before the singer switched to the Capricorn label in 1971. His debut album, 1967's Sweet Soul Music, is a strong collection, highlighted by each of his first five singles and two Redding originals.">Arthur Conley - Sweet Soul Music </a><br>

Former Fortune and Motown artist/songwriter/producer Andre Williams, who worked for One-derful/Mar-V- Lus/M-Pac Records whenever he and Berry Gordy disagreed, caught the newly named Crawlers' act and invited them to the studio to chant over a dance track he'd written (with Verlie Rice) called ''Twine Time.'' It was in the same format as Williams' 1957 hit ''Bacon Fat,'' a funky instrumental augmented by chants and sayings, and was a take-off of the Five Du-Tones' ''Woodbine Twine.'' ''Twine Time'' surprised everybody by zooming to number 14 on the pop chart in February 1965. On the label the artist was listed as Alvin Cash & the Crawlers, though it's unclear if his brothers participated in the recording; but his band, the Nightlighters, did.">Alvin Cash & The Crawlers - Twine Time</a><br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQFYddXhU3U" title="The Dixie Cups, sisters Barbara Ann and Rosa Lee Hawkins and cousin Joan Marie Johnson, were originally from the Calliope housing project in New Orleans. They recorded ''Iko Iko'', a New Orleans R&B standard, early in 1965. Barbara Hawkins had heard her grandmother sing the song, first recorded in 1954 as ''Jock-a-Mo'' by James ''Sugar Boy'' Crawford. Barbara Hawkins said: ''We were just clowning around with it during a session using drumsticks on ashtrays. We didn't realize that producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller had the tape running''. Leiber and Stoller overdubbed a bass-line and percussion, and released it. It was The Dixie Cups' fifth hit reaching #20 on the charts.">Dixie Cups - Iko Iko</a><br>

He also played behind Earl King, Fats Domino, Ernie K-Doe, Irma Thomas, Joe Tex, Eddie Bo, Frankie Ford and Huey 'Piano' Smith. He first recorded his first single, June Teen b/w Lawdy Miss Clawdy for Ace in 1958 and had a regional hit with an instrumental All Night Long, Parts 1 & 2 for the ron label in 1958. Over the years, he waxed sides for Imperial and Booker before signing with NOLA Records in 1965. His first record for the label, 'Barefootin' b/w Let's Go, Baby (Where the Action Is) was a monster hit, going to #2 R&B and #7 Pop in 1966">Robert Parker - Barefootin'</a><br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoaLCc2jR_g" title="Singer/guitarist Barbara Lynn was a rare commodity during her heyday. Not only was she a female instrumentalist (one of the very first to hit the charts), but she also played left-handed -- quite well at that -- and even wrote some of her own material. Lynn's music often straddled the line between blues and Southern R&B, and since much of her early work -- including the number one R&B hit ''You'll Lose a Good Thing'' -- was recorded in New Orleans, it bore the sonic imprint of the Crescent City. Lynn was born Barbara Lynn Ozen in Beaumont, TX, on January 16, 1942; she played the piano as a child before switching to guitar, inspired by Elvis Presley. In junior high, Lynn formed her own band, Bobbie Lynn and the Idols; at this point, her musical role models veered between bluesmen (Guitar Slim, Jimmy Reed) and female pop singers (Brenda Lee, Connie Francis)...">Barbara Lynn - You'll Lose A Good Thing </a><br>

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4iFPPIyxx4" title="Mary turned 21 years old as ''My Guy'' was rising to the top of the charts, and left Motown almost immediately afterward for a reported advance of several hundred thousand dollars from 20th Century Fox. The circumstances remain cloudy years later, but Wells and her husband-manager felt Motown wasn't coming through with enough money for their new superstar; she was also lured by the prospect of movie roles through 20th Century Fox (which never materialized). It's been rumored that Wells was being groomed for the sort of plans that were subsequently lavished upon Diana Ross; more nefariously, it's also been rumored that Motown quietly discouraged radio stations from playing Wells' subsequent releases. What is certain is that Wells never remotely approached the success of her Motown years, entering the pop Top 40 only once (although she had some R&B hits). Motown, for their part, took care throughout the rest of the '60s not to lose their big stars to larger labels.">Mary Wells - My Guy </a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY3qGqfoZ68" title="Live at the Apollo ...Time and legions of other soul superstars have obscured the fact that for a brief moment, Mary Wells was Motown's biggest star. She came to the attention of Berry Gordy as a 17-year-old, hawking a song she'd written for Jackie Wilson; that song, Bye Bye Baby, became her first Motown hit in 1961. The full-throated approach of that single was quickly toned down in favor of a pop-soul sound. Few other soul singers managed to be as shy and sexy at the same time as Wells (Barbara Lewis is the only other that springs to mind), and the soft-voiced singer found a perfect match with the emerging Motown production team, especially Smokey Robinson. Robinson wrote and produced her biggest Motown hits; ''Two Lovers,'' ''You Beat Me to the Punch,'' and ''The One Who Really Loves You'' all made the Top Ten in the early '60s, and ''My Guy'' hit the number one spot in mid-1964, at the very height of Beatlemania.">Mary Wells - Two Lovers/Bye Bye Baby</a>

The Columbia period continues to generate considerable controversy among critics, many of whom feel that Aretha's true aspirations were being blunted by pop-oriented material and production. In fact, there's a reasonable amount of fine items to be found on the Columbia sides, including the occasional song (''Lee Cross,'' ''Soulville'') where she belts out soul with real gusto. It's undeniably true, though, that her work at Columbia was considerably tamer than what was to follow, and suffered in general from a lack of direction and an apparent emphasis on trying to develop her as an all-around entertainer, rather than as an R&B/soul singer.">Aretha Franklin - Skylark</a>

Beat, hosted by iconic Nashville deejay Bill ''Hoss'' Allen... In his 2000 book Station to Station: The History of Rock 'n' Roll on Television, Marc Weingarten noted its point of origin (''nationally syndicated from Dallas, Texas'') and calls it ''far and away the quirkiest and coolest R&B-driven television show of the decade.'' Which had everything to do with Allen, who, as Chet Flippo pointed out in his 1997 obituary for Billboard, began late-night broadcasting blues and R&B as early as the 1940s, introducing white audiences to the likes of B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, James Brown and Ray Charles. Allen hosted all but the final episode: Legend has it he was so distraught over its cancellation he fell into a bottle and couldn't make it to say farewell. Which is why Otis Redding is seen below hosting an episode -- the final one, which appears to have been shot in October '66.

Gatemouth Brown wrote a catchy theme song, and ''The Hossman,'' the only white star on the program, hosted the show.

All weekend, brother. You're keepin' me busy, here, all weekend, aren't you, when I could be bustin' in the gun thread, or the government shutdown thread, or MetaTalk, or ?
OK. Thanks. Thanks a bunch.
Fill my ears, fill my heart. But you're just a little short on blue eyed soul and Northern soul, and some Tom Jones fanfolk are likely to stop by and recommend, still.
But not me. Nope, I'm busy all damn weekend.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.132573-5223542Fri, 04 Oct 2013 15:57:10 -0800paulscBy: paulsc

Thanks...
I started working with a new client this past week, I've seen him twice... a 15 year old African American kid (I'm a 65 year old white guy)... he grew up in the heart of Detroit..me, not so much...but..I do have a love for music...
I've been struggling to connect with him, he's not going to jump into trusting me, and finding common ground and developing some trust when the age/race gap is that huge is always a challenge... and, his background and history are going to make it that much harder... it's been a hard life for him.
Today we were talking about school... he's taking a music appreciation class, he stated that they're currently looking at "old school" music... and he listed a few of the artists on this post...
I think, next week, we'll go through a few of these...
Thanks for putting this together... nicely done!comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.132573-5223867Fri, 04 Oct 2013 22:16:11 -0800HuronBobBy: y2karl

Passed on or lost the first time around but now here also for the record are:
<a href="http://www.texasfolklife.org/barbara-lynn-kennedy-center.html" title="Barbara Lynn, the ''Empress of Gulf Coast Soul,'' was born Barbara Linda Ozen in Beaumont in 1942 to a Creole family that arrived from Louisiana in the late 1920s. Growing up, she sang at church and in her school choir, but her only formal music training was a year of piano lessons. Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the great gospel performer who played electric guitar, Texas bluesman Clarence ''Gatemouth,'' Brown and the flamboyant Guitar Slim were some of her early inspirations. When she heard and then saw Elvis on television, however, she abandoned the piano and picked up a $10.99 ukelele. Barbara taught herself by playing along with the music as she listened to the radio. This was particularly impressive since as a left-handed player, she had to transpose the fingering on a right-handed instrument. When Barbara's parents saw her determination and heard that she could actually make music, they bought her a Gibson guitar and an amplifier.">Barbara Lynn:"The Empress of Gulf Coast Soul"</a>

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation.
