  • BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Bobby Charles was born Robert Charles Guidry on 21st February 1938 in Abbeville, Louisiana. A native Cajun himself, he recalled that his life “changed for ever” when he re-tuned his parents’ radio set from a local Cajun station to one playing records by Fats Domino. Most successful as a songwriter, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of swamp pop. His own vocal style was laidback and drawling. His biggest successes were songs other artists covered, such as ‘See You Later Alligator’ by Bill Haley & His Comets; ‘Walking To New Orleans’ by Fats Domino - with whom he recorded a duet of the same song in the 1990s - and ‘(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do’ by Clarence “Frogman” Henry. It allowed him to live off the song-writing royalties for the rest of his life! No albums were by him released in this period. Two other well-known compositions are ‘The Jealous Kind’, recorded by Joe Cocker, and ‘Tennessee Blues’ by Kris. Disenchanted with the music business, Bobby disappeared from the music scene in the mid-1960s but returned in 1972 with a self-titled album on the Bearsville label on which he was accompanied by Rick Danko and several other members of the Band and Dr John. Bobby later made a rare live appearance as a guest singer on stage at The Last Waltz, the 1976 farewell concert of the Band, although his contribution was cut from Martin Scorsese’s film of the event. Bobby Charles returned to the studio in later years, recording a European-only album called Clean Water in 1987.

  • XII. Fighting Against Fusion 1974-1990
    XII. Fighting Against Fusion (1974-1990) For a few years, it seemed as if the whole jazz world had gone fusion-crazy, at least those who wished a large commercial success. Brothers Randy and Michael Brecker, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and George Benson were only a few of the many musicians who dipped a toe—or a whole foot—into its murky waters. Even Ornette Coleman, with his new band Prime Time, gave us his version of fusion with the album Dancing in Your Head. In the early 1980s George Russell gave us his funk-fusion take on The African Game, and even Mingus, one of the music’s greatest foes, was pushed into something close to fusion when his label at the time (Atlantic) forced a couple of electric guitarists on him in the album Three or Four Shades of Blue. When Mingus heard the final mix on this album, he called up Atlantic’s Nesuhi Ertegun and gave him hell for issuing such a “crappy” record, but the incredibly high sales figures for that LP—the best selling of Mingus’ entire career—mollified him, especially when he learned that the funds raised by this album gave him the opportunity to record one of his greatest masterpieces, the Cumbia & Jazz Fusion album, which sold hardly at all. And, of course, this was always the argument the record companies used when coerc- ing musicians into fusion. It sold. Very well. And in doing so, it sometimes—depending on the artistic proclivities of the label’s owner—gave them the opportunity to record better music that didn’t sell as much.
