LIVING INTERVIEW The April 2014 issue of Living Blues (issue #230, vol. 45 #2) has a lengthy interview and front cover article on Swamp Dogg by Gene Tomko. "There's a Lot of Freedom in My Albums", front cover + pages 10-19. The article includes a few never-before-seen vintage photos, including Jerry at age 2 and a picture of him talking with Bobby "Blue" Bland. The issue can be purchased from the Living Blues website, which also includes a nod to this online discography you're now viewing: http://www.livingblues.com/

SWAMP DOGG WRITES A BOOK PROLOGUE Swamp Dogg has written the prologue to a new book, Espiritus en la Oscuridad: Viaje a la era soul, written by Andreu Cunill Clares and soon to be published in Spain by 66 rpm Edicions: http://66-rpm.com/ The jacket's front cover is a photo of Swamp Dogg in the studio with circa 1968. A translation of the summary from the book's jacket: Spirits in the Dark offers a fascinating journey to the golden age of , and he does it by dividing its key areas created by territory. Andreu Cunill, collector publisher and scholar of the genre, crosses the of America from coast to coast and dissects with surgical precision what happened in a complex and variegated network of record labels, concert halls and recording studios, shedding light on key artists not always sufficiently recognized. Analyzing what happened on the ground, with information firsthand as provided by artists like Swamp Dogg, writing an illuminating foreword, the author writes a fundamental work to understand and fully enjoy a musical and sociological phenomenon of unparalleled quality.

2006 - "King Of Kings" Notes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAX32ht96lw An official promotional video produced in 2006 and made available on the internet at Youtube.com. The video was filmed in Clarksburg, West on 35mm film. The song comes from the X-mas Balls release She Left Me For Randolph [2004, S.D.E.G./Moon & Stars Studio SDEG 1953]. The video features spoken word monologues at the beginning, middle and end that are not contained in the CD version. An amusing video that begins with Swamp Dogg walking down a country road in ragged clothes, complete with a rope for a belt. He approaches a small country church, goes in and stands up to "testify" by singing his song with the congregation joining in. We then see that the church is having a raffle for a motorcycle. Swamp Dogg digs into his pocket and pulls out a nickel and a penny as a donation for his ticket. By the end of the video the preacher announces the winner of the raffle as ticket number 1225 (as in December 25th, Christmas). Swamp Dogg is the lucky ticket holder and rides off on his brand new motorcycle decked out in a new suit complete with a giant SWAMP belt buckle.

======SINGLES/EPs - DETAILS: ======

1954 - HTD Blues (Heartsick Troublesome Downout Blues) / Nat's Wailing - Little Jerry (Mechanic ??, 78 rpm single) Notes: The first Jerry Williams, Jr. recording at the age of 12 on a vanity label. "We brought this guy and his disc recorder in from Mechanicville, NY who put up a microphone and encouraged me to wail away; something for which I didn't need any prompting. My mother, Vera Cross on drums, my step dad, Nat Cross on guitar, his brother Garfield on bass and me on piano." The B-side, "Nat's Wailing", likely an instrumental song centered around Nat Cross's guitar playing, was omitted from the Little Jerry Williams Anthology (1954- 1969) [2000, S.D.E.G. 1942] and remains the rarest and most obscure Jerry Williams recording. "In 1954, I made record number one (also was the sales figure) entitled "HTD Blues" b/w "Nat's Wailing". I was a "fill out, cut out and mail out the coupon" freak. That's how I landed my first label. Mechanic Records in Mechanicville, N.Y., soliciting through Mechanical Illustrated Magazine. [Mechanix Illustrated: The How-To-Do Magazine, published 1928-1984 by Fawcett Publications, Inc., ISSN 0025-6587]; see: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2623/2592/1600/mechill01.jpg http://blog.modernmechanix.com/covers http://www.metropolitan-library.com/MI454.html "Send me your tape and ? dollars (amount eludes me) and I'll make you some records - complete with LaVern Baker, Joe Turner, Platters, Kay Starr, Patti Page, etc....etc.." So off goes the money, my first two compositions and a tape with the performance of such family rhythm greats as Nat Cross (step- father) on guitar, Vera Cross (could have been a wonderful step-mother) on drums, Garfield Cross (step- uncle...climbing these steps can be tiresome) and yours truly on piano and vocals. The entire session was done on a Grundig Mono portable reel to reel owned by my musical (among other things) family. The records arrive (78rpm) - I've finally arrived! Now what the f... do I do with these things? Three record shops within a fifty mile radius. A distributor? What is that? Run to the radio station WRAP, and give a copy to Jack Holmes, a powerhouse in the industry at the time, and let him play the back of it.. So far this has all taken place in Portsmouth, Virginia, my 1942 birthplace. Jack played it immediately, announced me as "Little" Jerry which I stuck with for ten years, and mapped out my distribution route. "Consign Stewart's Record shop two-thirds of them (they were a chain, one in Portsmouth - one in Norfolk) and Frankie's Birdland (Frank Guida later to have Legrand of Gary U.S. Bonds fame) the other third. I'll make it a hit and guide your career"." At some point between 1954 and 1957 "Little Jerry" "made four more recordings, this time in a Mono studio (Norfolk Recording Studio) with the same personnel with the exception of the drummer." These recordings were also omitted from the Little Jerry Williams Anthology (1954-1969) [2000, S.D.E.G. 1942]. As a side note, Jerry's father was a chief petty officer in the U.S. Navy. ["A Soul Singer With as Much Bite as Bark" by Karen Schoemer, New York Times, August 21, 1992 page C3.]

1957 - Sweet Sue / Nat's Wailing - Little Jerry (Mechanic ??, 78 rpm single) Notes: A second outing on the Mechanicville, NY vanity label. "Mailed more money to Mechanicsville, N.Y. for the pressing of "Sweet Sue" b/w "Nat's Wailing" (needed a few more - popularity booming)." "Sweet Sue" was omitted from the Little Jerry Williams Anthology (1954-1969) [2000, S.D.E.G. 1942].

1960 - There Ain't Enough Love / Don't You Feel - Little Jerry (Ember E-1081) Notes: The first "official" Jerry Williams, Jr. record, recorded when he was 18 years old. "There Ain't Enough Love" written by J. Barry, published by Trinity Music (BMI), arranged and conducted by Dave Cortez; track time = 2:06. Side A contains the additional label number E-2331. "Don't You Feel" written by D. Browty and Bert Russel, published by Russel Music (BMI). There are 3 variations of this single. Variation 1 has black labels. Variation 2, a promotional copy, has white labels. Variation 3, a promotional copy, has gold labels. "It's late 1959. Jack Holmes calls Al Silvers, President of Herald/Ember Records, the well-oiled r'n'b machine behind Faye Adams, Nutmegs, Silhouettes, plus a host of other one and two hit-single flashes, and tells him that he must record this "boy" from Portsmouth, Virginia for one reason or another. For one reason or another Al agrees and I split to New York from Newark where I was appearing at Woody's Corner as Little Willie John and sometimes Larry Williams - well "Little" Jerry couldn't draw flies, but he was a jukebox and Woody wanted to have his cake and eat it too. For a while we were most compatible. Al Silvers hooked me up with Dave "Baby" Cortez aka David Clowney, his "producer at large", listened to my material, rejected same and gave me an Isley Bros. demo, "Don't You Feel" written by Bert Russell-Berns and "There Ain't Enough Love", which emerged as the "A" side. The record received pop/R'n'B play throughout Virginia and Maryland and garnered enough sales for me to headline a slew of sleazy-ass clubs and appear on the Buddy Dean T.V. show (Baltimore) and Kurt Webster's Dialing For Dollars in Norfolk. During this time my base was still where I was playing occasional weekends at Jackson's Lounge as an organ single, the Cotton Club in Carteret as Don Covay and doing a "live" broadcast each Sunday afternoon from the Coleman Hotel as "Little" Jerry, Blues Shouter Unlimited."

1961 - (I'll Always Remember) Chapel On The Hill / I'm So Mad - Little Jerry (Aldo AL-502) Notes: Both sides produced by Matt Parsons. "(I'll Always Remember) Chapel On The Hill" written by Windsor King and Jerry Williams. "I'm So Mad" written by Jerry Williams and Joe Kookoolis. Track time for both sides = 2:30. "Try New York again. Sign contract with Aldo Records. Sign with a manager (Mel Alberts, Cashbox Mogul). First release (only release), "Chapel On The Hill" under the production supervision of Matt Parsons (who still insists that NOSTRAP is his name spelled backwards). "Chapel" achieved #1 position throughout the Midwest and made me a regional Star in Cleveland, sharing top billing with , Supremes, Theola Kilgore, etc. Mel, whose father wouldn't allow him to read a Cashbox much more assist in its operations, was booking me throughout Long Island, Brooklyn, and with Ernie Martinellis's "Little Anthony". In addition Mel was cultivating my writing and production sensibilities."

1962 - Let's Do The Wobble / You Call It Love - Jerry Williams (V-Tone V-501) Notes: "Let's Do The Wobble" written by Jerry Williams and V. Catalo. "You Call It Love" written by Jerry Williams and J. Koolen. Both songs published by Caldwell Music/Bud-Lu Music BMI. A Lou Henderson and B. Nolan production, nationally distributed by Jamie/Guyden Dist. Corp. Side A track time = 2:24. Side B track time = 2:32. Although the track timings are longer than what is listed on the Little Jerry Williams Anthology, the actual song lengths are the same. "Let's Do The Wobble" indirectly refers to Chubby Checker's pop hit "The Twist", which became a number one hit in September 1960 (for one week) and again in January 1962 (for two weeks). The '60s dance crazes seemed to peak in 1962 with numerous dance records being produced. According to some internet sources V-Tone Records went out of business in late 1962. See also the listing for Jay J. Jones in the Production section below and the following website: http://www.globaldogproductions.info/v/v-tone.html "V-Tone, a Lenny Caldwell brainchild [compiler's note: actually Venton L. "Buddy" Caldwell], was very successful with Bobby Peterson. Released "Let's Do The Wooble Before Chubby Gets It" and achieved some top five chart positions on Philly's WIBC and enough others to glue together seventy-five to a hundred thousand sales. Lenny forgot to provide for royalty payments in his contracts, thus prompting me to seek another home."

1963 - Hum-Baby / She's So Devine - Little Jerry Williams (Academy 113) Notes: Both songs written by Jerry Williams. Produced by Bob Wyld. Published by Assembly Music BMI. Side A contains the additional label number AJA-5858, track time = 2:28. Side B contains the additional label number AJA-5859; track time = 2:55. "The Academy released "Hum Baby" b/w "She's So Devine" was a step in the right direction being done by people with "No direction home, like a " - damn I did it again, a Dylanian slip."

1964 - I'm The Lover Man / The Push Push Push - Little Jerry Williams (Southern Sound SS 118) Notes: "I'm The Lover Man" written by Jerry Williams, published by Chicory Music Inc. (B.M.I.), produced by Frank Slay. Side A track time = 2:30 Side A contains the additional label number SS 118-N. "The Push Push Push" written by Jerry Williams and Joe Kookoolis. Side B track time = 2:50. Side B contains the additional label number SS 118-P. Southern Sound - A Division Of Southland Corporation Of America - New York, N.Y. Made In U.S.A. "1964, knocked on Frank Slay's door, who was enjoying production, publishing and writing successes with Billy & Lillie, Freddie Cannon, Four Seasons, Diane Renay and a bevy of other pop-oriented acts. Played him some material. He loved it all and signed me to an immediate record contract. We enter the studio and record the self-penned, "I'm The Lover Man" b/w "The Push Push Push". "Lover Man" is released on Southern Sound Records in September and October finds it bulleting on the Pop Record Business Charts at #84 the first week. (Record Business was the forerunner for Record World Magazine)."

1964 - I'm The Lover Man / The Push Push Push - Little Jerry Williams (Loma 2005) Notes: "I'm The Lover Man" written by Jerry Williams, published by Chicory Music Inc. (BMI), produced by Frank Slay. Side A track time = 2:30. Side A contains the additional label number LX70006. "The Push Push Push" written by Jerry Williams and Joe Kookoolis. Side B track time = 2:50. Released in October 1964. See the excellent Loma Records discography at: http://www.lomarecords.com/ There are at least 3 variations of this single. Variation 1 has yellow labels. Variation 2, which are promotional copies, has white labels. Variation 3 has orange labels. This single was also released in Canada on Warner Bros. 2005 with red labels.

1965 - Detroit / The 1965 Kingsize Nicotine Blues - Jerry Williams (Southern Sound SS-123) Notes: "Detroit" written by Bob Boolanger and Dick Heard, a Frank Slay production, arranged by Sid Bass, published by Claridge Music, Inc. (ASCAP), track time = 2:50. "The 1965 Kingsize Nicotine Blues" written by M. Poppelwell, published by Chuidge Music (ASCAP). "It's 1965 and next record time. Frank has two of the worst pieces of shit (he later admits) I'd ever exposed my ears to: "Detroit", a rip off of the Sound and "1965 Kingsize Nicotine Blues". I rebelled, screamed, argued, but to no avail. "Either you cut these or cut nothing". I cut them both. Loma didn't want it so it appeared on Southern Sound Records. Frank shipped Gold and it came back ."

1965 - Baby, You're My Everything / Just What Do You Plan To Do About It - Little Jerry Williams (Calla 105) Notes: "Baby, You're My Everything" written by Rick Spain and Jerry Williams, produced by Jerry Williams, arranged by Jerry Williams and Richie Rome, supervised by Bert Keyes, published by Grocalla Enterprises, Inc. (BMI), track time = 2:43. "Just What Do You Plan To Do About It" written by Jerry Williams, arranged and produced by Jerry Williams, supervised by Bert Keyes, published by Grocalla Enterprises, Inc. (BMI), track time = 2:45. Distributed by Cameo-Parkway Inc. Calla, 1650 Broadway, N.Y.C., N.Y. "I proposed a different situation to Frank: "I'll cut the next record with my money. If you like it reimburse me. If not release me". Okay! I cut "Baby You're My Everything". Frank rejected it. I sold it to Calla Records. The first week of release Kal Rudman wrote in his R&B Beat - Where It's At, "Baby You're My Everything". Jerry Williams, Calla is over 30,0000 in N.Y.C., Top 10 in Cleveland, a smash in Detroit, and large in Miami, Atlanta (WQXI), and ...I rest my case."

1965 - Baby' You're My Everything / Just What Do You Plan To Do About It - Little Jerry Williams (Cameo- Parkway C.100) Notes: UK release. A note on one promotional copy of this record indicates that it was released on February 14, 1965.

1966 - Baby, Bunny (Sugar, Honey) / Philly Duck - Little Jerry Williams (Calla C-109) Notes: "Baby, Bunny (Sugar, Honey)" written by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Rick Spain, produced by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Richard Rome and arranged by Richard Rome; track time = 2:47 (promotional copies list the track time as 2:51). "Philly Duck" written by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Richard Rome, produced by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Richard Rome, arranged by Richard Rome and engineered by J. Fein; track time = 2:32 (promotional copies list the track time as 2:49).

1966 - If You Ask Me (Because I Love You) / Yvonne - Jerry Williams (Calla 116) Notes: "If You Ask Me (Because I Love You)" written by Jerry Williams and Rick Spain, published by Big Seven Music Corp. - BMI, produced by Richard Rome and Jerry Williams, arranged by Richard Rome. "Yvonne" written by Jerry Williams, published by Chicory Music Inc. - BMI, produced by Richard Rome and Jerry Williams, arranged by Richard Rome. Reissued in 1973 as Calla 116-A with a longer instrumental break.

1966 - If You Ask Me (Because I Love You) / Yvonne - Jerry Williams (Exit 2501-B) Notes: A Spanish issue of the Calla 116 single with a tie-dyed psychedelic brown picture sleeve. Both songs also appeared on a on the Exit Records label, The Pith Of Soul [1969, Exit Records (Spain) 3502-N].

1966 - Your Man / Give The Disc Jockey Some - Jerry Williams (8730 Records 102) Notes: Both sides written by Jerry Williams, published by Jerry Williams Music (BMI), a Michelle Prod. Side A track time = 2:50; this version is shorter than what appears on 'Swamp's Things: The Complete Calla Recordings Plus!' [3:32] and 'Little Jerry Williams Anthology' [3:00]. Side B track time = 2:45. "Give The Disc Jockey Some", an instrumental, was omitted from the Little Jerry Williams Anthology (1954-1969) [2000, S.D.E.G. 1942]. The date of this single is unclear. Swamp Dogg's comments (see below) seem to indicate that it was released circa 1966. Tony Rounce in his liner notes to "Blame It On The Dogg: The Swamp Dogg Anthology 1968-1978" [2008, Ace/Kent CDKEND 293] dates the single as a 1968 release. "8730 Records was my label [formed in 1965 {actual date more likely 1966 when JW moved to Miami -- David Chance; comments by Swamp Dogg on The List (Yahoo) 3/20/01: "Nick [Nickie Lee] was the reason I first ventured to Miami. He brought me down to play the Continental Club a/k/a King of Hearts (?) for three nights in January '66, and the weather was so good and my record was so hot, I moved my family there immediately and stayed for almost three years. When I bought my house there it was only a five minute walk to Nicki's house, eight minutes from Dave Prater's (Sam & Dave), two minutes from Sir John Henry "the Root Man"".}]. I lived at 8730 North West 16th Avenue in Miami, Florida at the time. We had just moved to Miami. The first recording on the label was by Alto Lee, and it was called 'Indefinitely' [8730 Records 101]. The other side was called 'Who Can I Turn To / Blowin' In The Wind'. I'd taken 's 'Blowin' In The Wind' and a song I wrote called 'Who Can I Turn To' and made up a medley. Alto was out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The second [and last] recording on the label was 'Your Man' [8730 Records 102] by yours truly and is on Tommy Hunt's album - same track. Actually, on the flip side of 'Your Man', is a thing called 'Give The Disc Jockey Some', an instrumental. All it was, was 'Who Can I Turn To / Blowin' In The Wind' without Alto's voice (laughs)!

(DJF 20476.) Born, Jerry Williams Jnr, thirty-four years ago, he was first heard on record as a soul balladeer in the mid-sixties, before metamorphosing into Swamp Dogg in 1970. The following five years had Swamp Dogg writing, producing, arranging, playing keyboards and master-minding highly acclaimed albums for soul giants such as Doris Duke, , Freddie North and Z.Z. Hill -- all this on top of recording six of his own...some good, some bad, but none too successful. Now with Vee-Jay Records, which is licensed to DJM for the U.K. and most of Europe, he has invested his newest sessions with a quality that should finally bring Swamp Dogg the recognition he knew he deserved all along.

Notes: Marketing product description: "This is a very important EP because the four songs are inspirational, full of hope and eye opening to the financial perils confronting us, as well as the government and big business injustices that's been cast upon us so maliciously, via squandering of our pension funds, hikes in our taxes and mass unemployment just to name a few. Surrounding all of this is the song, When Dreams Come True, the ultimate dichotomy which speaks of hope and love for this country that can yield a person great success and respect, regardless of race, etc., if he works hard.....for some.... This EP is a combination of rnb & soul as only Swamp Dogg can deliver; employing words of hope, change and cynicism. His is a 'let's get this country off its financial ass and put some people in D.C. that give a damn.' Lucciana & Divine, a hip-hop act being introduced via this EP, continues the motivational aspect via their track Can We Make A Change. Their offering is designed to attract the young at heart and the connoisseurs of hip-hop and rap." Track 1 produced by Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams & Beverly Green.

From the press release: "Swamp Dogg has done it again! His first holiday album, chocked full of great original songs, rock 'n' rolling r'n'b with hints of country and funk, as only he can do. He is the grandmaster of his own exclusive genre; southern r'n'b funk. Once retailers hear this cd, they'll go beyond the call of duty to exploit it. Swamp originally wrote the title song (track 3) for in 1966. Otis liked it but never got to record it. The performance of it on this CD is very similar to what Swamp (Little Jerry Williams at that time) had suggested and imagined to Otis. Being diehard fans of South Park, Swamp and his wife, Beverly wrote track 9 with Eric Cartman and Terrence & Phillips in mind. S P fans will know why immediately. Tracks 1 & 2 are definite radio and club hits!!" Produced & arranged by Swamp Dogg & Moogstar Clemon. Cover photo: Moogstar Clemon. Art design & graphics: Shamansilicon (San Francisco, CA).

Dyn-ooo-mitt-ee (2:12; actual time = @2:41) [Jerry Williams, Jr. and Charles Whitehead] Notes: Produced and arranged by Jerry Williams, Jr. (The Swamp Dogg) for Wizard Productions, Inc. Engineer: David Johnson. Recorded at Broadway Sound, Muscle Shoals, . Piano/organ/clarinet: Swamp Dogg. Drums: Jimmy Evans. Guitar: Travis Wammack. Bass: Bob Wray. Percussion: Ed Watkins. Horns: Harrison Calloway, Ronnie Eades, Harvey Thompson, Charles Rose. Album coordinator: Yvonne Williams. Album design: Bob Clark, Zenith Communications. All songs written by Jerry Williams, Jr. and published by Mr. Dogg Music/ATV/BMI except cuts A-2 and A-3 which are published by Jerry Williams Music, Inc. (BMI). Distributed by Wizard Productions, Inc., 2501 Ocean Drive, Hollywood, Florida. Printed in U.S.A. "Let's Do It Again" and "Shaft's Mama" are different versions from what appears on Charlie Whitehead and The Swamp Dogg Band (1973, Fungus 25145); these versions have Swamp Dogg on vocals. Unfortunately, reports from four different individuals who own copies indicate that these two songs on the LP have inherent sound problems. "I Sure Love To Ball (And You Do Too)", "Sweetest Thing In California" and "Dyn-ooo-mitt-ee" have different track times than what appears on the LP You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie. I Sure Love To Ball (And You Do Too) (2:43) - An Opportunity...Not A Bargain!!! (2:57) - You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie Sweetest Thing In California (4:34) - An Opportunity...Not A Bargain!!! (5:26) - The Excellent Sides Of Swamp Dogg, Vol. 5 (5:34) - You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie Dyn-ooo-mitt-ee (2:41) - An Opportunity...Not A Bargain!!! Dyn-o-mite (2:54) - You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie This is the rarest Swamp Dogg album and extremely difficult to find at any price. In January 2014 a mint condition copy sold for $531 on eBay. Swamp Dogg himself doesn't even own a copy. It is not known how many copies of the album were pressed and issued, but it is likely an extremely small number (I would guess less than 1000 copies, if not less than 100 copies!). Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 11/22/00: "The phrase "opportunity, not a bargain" was directed to the owner of Musicor and his attorney, Danny Puglise and George Port, respectively. We were joking (...I guess they were) around about the production cost and I needed to impress upon them that I needed what I needed and having a Swamp Dogg album would be the type of opportunity that could not/should not be measured by bargain standards." ... "Wizard was a tax shelter deal I did in Florida." "I leased the "Opportunity....." album to Wizard in Florida as a tax shelter move. It was not supposed to become a hit, even if it had the potential. It was born to be a loser on one hand and a small goldmine on the other." --Swamp Dogg, Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 11/08/08 In February 2014 a "digitally remastered" on-demand CD-R version was released by Essential Media Group. Unfortunately this reissued version switched the Swamp Dogg vocal versions (probably demos) of "Shaft's Mama" and "Let's Do It Again" with the Charlie Whitehead vocal versions of those songs, which are readily available elsewhere. The track order has also been changed. The song original titled on the vinyl LP as "I Can Stand The Lonely Days (I Can't Take These Lonely Nights)" has been changed to "I Can Stand The Lonely Days (But Can't Stand The Lonely Nights)"; "I Did It All" has been changed to "I Had A Ball (I Did It All)"; and "Dyn-ooo-mitt-ee" has been changed to "Dyn-o-mite". Thus this reissue is not the same as the original 1977 vinyl issue. 1. It's A Bitch (3:56) 2. Shaft's Mama (7:22) 3. Let's Do It Again (9:07) 4. The Other Man (3:12) 5. I Can Stand The Lonely Days (But Can't Stand The Lonely Nights) (2:33) 6. Believe In Me Baby (6:38) 7. I Had A Ball (I Did It All) (3:04) 8. I Sure Love To Ball (And You Do Too) (2:58) 9. Sweetest Thing In California (5:27) 10. Dyn-o-mite (2:55)

Liner Notes: Solid Smoke has assured me that this compilation of "prime weiners" will make us a million franks. Give me a break! Listen to the album and let's determine whether this sucker deserves a cover or a lid. In spite of my complaints, there are only a few other "walks of life" I'd care to tread instead...garage door repairman, busboy (not the band), King Kong's breath, Edsel dealer, Barbara Billingsley's theatrical agent, escaped convict, Steve Garvey's attitude, tree trunk, murderer, George Tobin's integrity, Mel Posner's hemorrhoids, a muppet, a Puerto Rican... Thanks to the man I owe most for the compilation of this album and my resurgence of creativity...Ronald Reagan. Since occupying the ovary office, he has made it possible for me to write twenty to thirty songs per day while driving my taxi. At night I'm free as a breeze and twice as balmy, thus making significant summits possible: " Meets Faye Wray", "Soul Clan's Soul Meeting" (featuring Don Covay, Ahmet Ertegun, Leon Spinks, , Marilyn Chambers and Cyndy Garvey) and "Doris Duke Meets Anybody She Can." This album represents everything I stand for...or was that "can't stand"??? I'll sit down and think about it. -- THE SWAMP DOGG

"F*** The Bomb...Stop The Drugs" and "Pledging My Love" are new bonus tracks recorded in August 1995. Comments by trombonist Alvin Starks (private email 2/10/14): They got my name wrong on the credits on trombone. My name is Alvin Starks, not Alvin Stanton. I was pulled onto this recording by trumpet player William (don't call me Bill) Barnes. We were both attending LACC at the time, and this was my first recording session. Could you imagine my disappointment when I saw they had the wrong name? I still have a copy of the LP (I even checked around to see if the name Alvin Stanton even existed). I am guessing they got my name wrong because they asked me to sign my name, not write my name down and they misread my chicken scratch. I played on some songs and the other trombonist (who I never met) on the others. If I recall I played on "Total destruction"," A Little time left" and "Two dead flies". I think died not too long after that LP was released. I remember when the guy playing sax did that weird altissimo screech. He was trying to do something else and fudged it; Jerry let him re-record the solo but told him he was keeping the screech because it was hip. Jerry was right. The only other details I remember about the session is that it was in Sun Valley, and there was a soda machine that had "out of order" on one of the selections but when you pressed it you got light beer. Also "A little time Left" he makes a reference to John Lennon: "Peace, we gotta have peace, so John Lennon didn't die in vain let's live in peace". He recorded the over dub to the last "peace" while I was in studio. Every time I hear it I hear the dub. Additional cover wording: Roger, Romeo, Tango, Charlie, Zulu, Foxtrot. Gentlemen we the people of the United States would like to personally congratulate you in having the Balls to drop the Big One. So we award you with these medals of Honor. God Bless America; Peace on Earth. (Through superior fire power). F**k the Bomb-Stop the drugs. Swamp Dogg. little boy. Additional inside booklet wording: [page 2] Fuck the Bomb.

Liner Notes: I became Swamp Dogg in 1970 in order to have an alter-ego and someone to occupy the body while the search party was out looking for Jerry Williams, who was mentally missing in action due to certain pressures, mal-treatments and failure to get paid royalties on over fifty single records including "Chapel On The Hill," "Let's Do The Wobble," "I'm The Lover Man" (top 50 pop), "Baby You're My Everything" (#1 R'n'B nationally), "She's A Heartbreaker" (gold for Gene Pitney), "Count The Days I'm Gone" (Inez and Charlie Foxx) and more too numerous to mention. Don't get me wrong ... some of these companies should have released the artist instead of the record because the records weren't shit. Most all of the tracks included were recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Macon, , which brings me to how the name Swamp Dogg came about. , v.p. and producer/innovator second to none, was recording in the newly discovered mecca of funk Muscle Shoals, Alabama. He coined the term "Swamp Music" for this awesome funk predominately played by all white musicians accompanying the R'n'B institutions e.g., , , , etc., etc. - stay with me, I haven't digressed, I was also using the same "swamp" players. I was tired of being a jukebox, singing all of the hits by , Ben E. King, etc., and being an R'n'B second banana. I couldn't dance as good as , wasn't pretty like Tommy Hunt, couldn't compare vocally to and I didn't have the sex appeal of Daffy Duck. I wanted to sing about everything and anything and not be pigeonholed by the industry. So I came up with the name Dogg because a dog can do anything, and anything a dog does never comes as a real surprise; if he sleeps on the sofa, shits on the rug, pisses on the drapes, chews up your slippers, humps your mother-in-law's leg, jumps on your new clothes and licks your face, he's never gotten out of character. You understand what he did, you curse while making allowances for him but your love for him never diminishes. Commencing in 1970, I sung about sex, niggers, love, rednecks, war, peace, dead flies, home wreckers, Sly Stone, my daughters, politics, revolution and blood transfusions (just to name a few), and never got out of character. Recording in Alabama and sincerely singing/writing about items that interested me, gave birth to the name Swamp Dogg. When I had to say my name for people who hadn't heard my records they would snicker and giggle. This used to piss me off ... like what's so wonderful sounding about your name, at least I named myself. You're stuck with some shit of which you don't even know the derivative. Now that we have Snoop Doggy Dogg, The Doggs, The Dogg Pound and a multitude of other rapping canines, the name Dogg is as common as Smith and Goldstein. Wonder why everyone spells it with two G's? Coincidence I guess. There are studio cuts on this album. The first one, "Fuck The Bomb...Stop The Drugs" is based on what I've seen over the past twenty-five years while our government worried about Russia's nuclear advantages, only to discover that Russia had less money than Orange County and every son-of-a-bitch named Escobar from Columbia was selling kilos of dope door-to-door in America. Americans have remained so high and strung out on cocaine and its companion drugs, that even if Russia had been endowed with the funds to purchase fuel for their missiles/bombs and had the balls to push the button, most Americans would have thought they were watching the Electric Light show at Disneyland until their skin started rolling down their bodies like Saran Wrap unpeeling. My point? Fuck The Bomb, Stop The Drugs!! Stop The Bull Shit! Stop The Dependency! Stop The Gangs! Reinstitute the draft and put these bad-ass motherfuckers killing tow year olds in the Army where they can still have a gun...then point 'em toward Saddam Hussein and the Husseins of the world. Years ago, when mothers used to march the bad-asses down to the draftboard, they returned after six weeks of basic training as real human beings. The Army was the charm school for assholes. Where would the money come from for this new Army? From the funds targeted to fight street gangs, wage war on drugs, and create learning programs that no one signs up for anyway, while the administrators abscond with the monies each year and request more for the coming year...that money! If the drug dealers and gangbangers are in Bosnia, monies can be rechanneled to the military. In addition, there would be less money needed for building prisons and rehabilitating (that's a joke) the un-rehabilitatable. Everybody wants to belong and have a sense of usefulness and these motherfuckers belong in the Army and would be very useful on the front line. All of this prison money could be put to better use because the prisons wouldn't be over-crowded. This would do away with pre-teen criminals who come out because they want to be like their brother or uncle or, sometimes, father. I look at the news and see a thirty-five year old gangbanger. That's when I want to put on a headrag, go down there, take a stick that's been soaking in motor oil for six months and whip his ass all the way to McDonald's and everyday at McDonald's until he becomes a manager and starts taking care of his obligations. I digress. New studio cut number two is "Pledging My Love," a song that made it to the number one position on all of the charts by Christmas '55 by John Marshall Alexander, Jr. - known to his millions of fans as Johnny Ace. This was a very important record to me, based on the fact that this opened the ballad door in my life and I then added "Cross My Heart," "The Clock," "Saving My Love For You," "Anymore," and "My Song," to my mostly Fats Domino--ish repertoire. These were all hits by Johnny Ace, whose recordings I will always appreciate and continue to listen to at least once a month, forever. I have a thing about cutting my favorite songs by my favorite artists, and I've only recorded a few, because I usually have so much respect for their work that unless I can add another acceptable dimension to a new recording of same, I'll leave it alone and enjoy it in the way it was intended to be...un-fucked with by me. In the case of "Pledging My Love," I drew inspiration from Johnny, Ziggy Marley and Jackie Wilson, thus bringing about the song's psuedo reggae and high tenor from which I damn near developed polyps. If you really want to hear a great R'n'B crooner, pick up some Johnny Ace. A brief note, he lost at Russian roulette, Xmas day, nineteen fifty-five. I want to thank my wife, manager, hero and partner, Yvonne, for having more faith in me than anyone and loving me through poverty, worms (I'll explain at the concert), narcissism, depression, panic attacks and bouts of unfounded generosity. I thank and love my little five year old partner and granddaughter, Victoria for re-introducing me to my past recordings. She has gotten more use from my jukebox in three years than I've gotten in the last fifteen. She's made me listen to songs that I never would have listened to again, but seeing her derive so much pleasure from my past started me to thinking that maybe some other music lovers would also. I hope you do...but if you don't, fuck you...Victoria loves me. I also thank John Wooler for being discriminating enough to like my music and bring it aboard the Pointblank enterprise. I refuse to let myself down, so John, you're in safe water. Thanks to Alison Taylor and Larkin Kennedy, you have been wonderful and I won't let you guys down either. More thanks to Rick Hocutt, Wally Roker, Jeff Grinstein, Henry Marx, Bill Lebowitz, Bob Merlis, Al Bell, Karimu Shaw, Jeri Williams for being my daughter and leveling force, Toni a daughter always ready to help so I can get projects completed on time, Warren Lanier and a handful of others. The further you travel into life the fewer people there are to thank, unless you're thanking them for getting the fuck out of your life so you can breathe...those names could fill a book the size of War And Peace. Another thanks to Gary U.S. Bonds whom I'll always love. My last thanks goes to the biggest Swamp Dogg fan in the world, Hayward, California's own Steven K. Brown. Thanks Steven for turning people on to me.

Printed in U.S.A. Liner Notes: This album is by far the greatest piece of writing, arranging, producing and sequencing genius that I've ever encountered. Anyone who has heard the first two Swamp Dogg albums will possibly say impossible, but after listening to this one will make the cross-over to incredible. The only album that may possibly compare with this one, is the one that I'm contemplating doing in the late future. Everything that is necessary to make a hit album I have; Ego, talent, originality, humor and I am dynamic, articulate, defiant, altruistic, considerate, warm, wonderful & humble. My reputation speaks for itself, having either written, produced or both, hit records for Gene Pitney, Z.Z. Hill, Freddie North, Doris Duke, Wilson Picket, Arthur Conley, Lulu, Stoneground, , Conway Twitty, , Little Richard, Whispers, Gary Bonds, Joe Tex, Donnie Elbert, Lightning Slim, Irma Thomas, John Rowles, Tommy Overstreet, and Loretta Lynn, just to scratch the surface. I have also been a Grammy nominee for the last two years. I'm also a Cancer (July 12) and twenty nine years in the world. What you've just read is my trip and if you can't tolerate it, that's your trip. -- Jerry Williams, Jr. / P/K/A Swamp Dogg NOTES FROM LITTLE JERRY WILLIAMS ANTHOLOGY (1954-1969): "In 1972 I met a man I'll never forget, Wayne Bennett (Cream Records) and a multi album pact. Elektra had dropped me like I was a leper with terminal syphilis. The Cream album was "Cuffed Collared And Tagged" and it gave birth to the "Sam Stone" single that took the FM Underground Market by storm. A short tour followed then I returned to my first loves, writing and producing for other artists. As I was gathering material for my next Cream album I discovered that they had quietly slipped out of the business into the night. Oh Well.... Immediately I made a pact with George Barriers Brat Records who closed their doors before my album's release. So much for that!!"

Made in England. Barcode 6-14475-03622-0. Liner Notes: When Jerry Williams, Jr. of Portsmouth, Virginia reinvented himself as Swamp Dogg in 1970, he was already nearly 15 years into a career that had brought him a reputation as a reliable journeyman singer, writer and producer with a stack of single releases to his name on an ever-changing array of record labels such as Southern Sound, Loma, Calla and Cotillion - but not much in the way of tangible success beyond the respect of a gathering clan of Soul aficionados, for whom "A Jerry Williams Jr. Production" on a could usually be interpreted as a sign that a cash outlay was imminent. He doubtless hoped that a change of identity would bring with it greater fame and fortune than had been his lot-in-life to date... Sadly, the three decades that have since passed have done little to bring fame or fortune Swamp's way - at least, not with the degree of consistency his subsequent recordings have deserved. But happily, a lot of great music has subsequently been created and recorded by the man, on an even greater array of record labels, in the pursuit of both mainstream critical acclaim and copious ackers in the bank. This package brings together two albums that, between them, contain their far share of great music. Originally released by Cream Records of Los Angeles, 'Cuffed, Collard And Tagged' and 'Doing A Party Tonite' show where Swamp was at, at either end of a vibrant-if-turbulent decade for African-American music. They were - and still are! - the third and ninth albums in a career that's now seen around twenty such things. Many are sadly out of print in the CD era, but if you like what you hear here, please feel free to check out any and all of those that ain't, as Swamp Dogg is definitely one artist for whom 'If You Like One, You'll Like 'Em All' is the rule! Swamp's biography should be well enough known to his Barmy Army of devotees, either through the many articles written about him in the Soul press or the notes to earlier Dogg CDs, often written in inimitable fashion by the man himself. Let's a) assume that, having got this far, you actually know something about or subject and haven't just bought this CD out of idle curiosity, b) spare you further repetition of familiar facts and c) head straight into the reason we're all here - the music... First released on vinyl in late 1972, 'Cuffed, Collared And Tagged' (CR 9009) followed hard on the heels of what most Swamp Dogg fans correctly believe to be a pair of his very best sets, 1970's 'Total Destruction To Your Mind' (Canyon) and '71's 'Rat On' (Elektra) - two landmark albums of Black music that had both been bypassed, to their eternal discredit, by most of their intended audience in the weekly stampede to buy the latest funk . While - as a unified whole - CC&T doesn't quite attain the same heights of greatness as its predecessors, it's still a mighty piece of work whose best moments are more than equal to anything that precedes them. No reason why they shouldn't, either - Swamp was still working out of the studios in Muscle Shoals that had provided the setting for his best work to date, still using the many great musicians associated with the area and still collaborating with past cohorts Don Hollinger, Charlie 'Raw Spitt' Whitehead and Troy Davis on material that matched the best of their previous work together. One such song on CC&T ranks among the finest to bear the names of either Swamp or Davis as . 'Complication #5' may offer an upbeat, attractive melody, but its lyrics are among the darkest ever to have found their way onto a disc's worth of Dogg. The listener may be initially under the impression that this is merely a paean to lost love, but by the chorus it's apparent that something altogether more sinister is afoot - and the pay-off line is as devastating now as it was when the prospect of nuclear devastation was frighteningly close at hand on an almost daily basis. The fairly straightforward do-over of ' 'Lady Madonna' that follows it might almost be there to lighten the mood rather than provide any startling alternative spin on the original - but the set's other two non-Dogg copyrights are both prime examples of Swamp's talent for reinterpretation. Obviously a fan of the great Atlanta-based singer--guitarist Joe South, Swamp had already paid his respects with killer versions of 'These Are Not My People' and 'Redneck' on the 'Total Destruction' album. Here he revises South's sublime commentary on social change 'Don't It Make You Want To Go Home' with a slowly-building, extended arrangement that serves to emphasize a poignant message that must have struck a chord with all those returning from Viet Nam to face changes they could barely have anticipated, and even more so with those stuck out in 'Nam and yearning for the Green Green Grass Of Home that was being swallowed up by malls and multiplexes even in the early 1970s. Even more to the point was John Prine's 'Sam Stone' - still then a new song, and one that told an all- too-familiar tale of a returning soldier 'with a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back' and his gradual descent into heroin hell. There are few lyrics more stark than those in Prine's final verse, and Swamp's interpretation of a scenario that would have been all-too-real for far too many people makes for anything but easy listening. Prine's own version is a classic and in a catalogue that's fair littered with high points, there's no doubt that Swamp's interpretation of 'Sam Stone' ranks among the highest, albeit least easy to listen to... Elsewhere on CC&T there was a markedly bluesy feel to some tracks - more in construction than execution, perhaps, but 'Your Last Dirty Trick' and the too-brief-but-totally-funky 'Captain Of Your Ship' both revisit territory first explored successfully on 'Mama's Baby - Daddy's Maybe' from the 'Total Destruction' set. And even though the attractive tune and arrangement of 'You Say You Trust Your Mother' ('But Still You Cut the Cards') belies its origins, a quick listen to the lyric places the idea smack dab in the middle of Beale Street. An attractive tune also enhances the seemingly-biographical 'In My Resume', as does another subtle and sweet Richard Rome string arrangement that nicely counterpoints one of Swamp's most pleading vocal performances. Only the rather throwaway nature of 'Lady Madonna', and the oddball production/construction of 'If It Hadn't Been For Sly' let down and otherwise exemplary collection of all that was and is best about 70s Southern Soul. By rights, it should have sold a million...... But it didn't. In spite of the poignant performance and relevant anti-war message of 'Sam Stone', radio programmers didn't bite when Cream offered it as a single (#1021 c/w the typically Dogg-y chugger 'Knowing I'm Pleasing Me And You') - and although the 'Cuffed, Collared' album didn't quite fall stillborn from the presses, it sold sufficiently few copies that it might just as well have done. Thus Swamp moved on, to a new home and - regrettably - to further failure when his next employers, Brut Records, opted not to issue the wonderful album that he presented to them in 1972, and that was eventually issued in 1976, as 'Greatest Hits?', on his own Stone Dogg imprint (and that was also briefly available in 1999 on a now-deleted Westside CD 'Swamp's Things'). On the cover of the latter album Swamp stated, somewhat contemptuously, that CC&T was 'still being used as a playtoy by the Bennetts' - a reference to Cream's founder, former Liberty records boss and inspiration for 'Alvin' of famed kiddie act Alvin and the Chipmunks! Ever the wag, he also said 'Greatest Hits?' had been rejected by Brut because it 'didn't have the Great Smell' associated with that company's main source of income... Al Bennett sold Cream sometime in the mid 70's, its new owners also acquiring the legendary Memphis imprint Hi at around the same time. (Coincidentally, this activity coincided approximately with Swamp's own relocation to the West Coast, where he resides and records to this day). Swamp's feelings of antipathy towards Cream - and particularly towards its previous owners - had obviously mellowed by the end of the decade, when he re-signed on the dotted line to release his ninth album in ten years (and on seven different labels, already!). By the time he did so, things had changed considerably in the world of African-American music. The impassioned intensity of Southern Soul was almost an anachronism, with the style bordering on extinction before resurrecting itself vengefully in the early 80s as BlueSoul. Disco had become the Dish Of The Day for young Black record buyers, and Disco was still at its height when Swamp - ever one to take advantage of his innate musical adaptability - rode the boogie bus all the way to the studios to make 'Doing A Party Tonite', his final release on the label... To be fair, he wasn't the only respected soulman riding said bus at that particular stage in his career but, like a lot of other products of the period, 'Party Tonite' can now be seen to belong firmly to a select number of albums which most Soul fans file under 'It Probably Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time'. Despite its currently-in-vogue chic and the timeless quality of its best records (Candi's 'Young Hearts Run Free', Chic's 'Good Times', Ashford & Simpson's 'Don't Cost You Nothing' and most-if-not-all Salsoul and Philadelphia International Records from the period), the overall sound of Disco has not worn well, particularly on recordings by artists whose natural habitat it might not have been. Dogg die-hards are hardly likely to contest any statement that their hero was hardly To The Disco Born - or that 'Doing A Party Tonite' is not really among the unqualified successes in the Dogg catalogg... That it isn't, is not really the fault of the material (the self-explanatory, and rather basic title track possibly excepted). Most of the lyrics and melodies are typically Swamp-y - and had they been attached to something other than relentless slurping, hi hat-driven rhythms, many of the tracks would rank with the best of Swamp's previous and future work. One of the few tracks to break away from the dance arena, 'I'm Gonna Keep On Loving You #9', is vintage Dogg in the mould of his other great 'number' songs like 'Predicament #2' (a 1971 Mankind single for Brooks O'Dell') or CC&T's 'Complication #5', and even the synthesizer-led arrangement can't get in the way of a terrific lyric and performance. Likewise a dumb arrangement, replete with popping disco bass, can't quite obliterate the southern raunch of the vaguely autobiographical 'Rhythm & Blues' ('I Make My Living Playing Rhythm & Blues'). The salacious lyrical content of the breezy 'What's Left For Y'awll To Do' notwithstanding, it too is vintage Dogg. And once the closing downtempo moodiness of 'Mind Over What's The Matter' gets past its meandering synthesizer intro it very nearly justifies being the work of not one but two greats of 60s/70s R&B, Swamp and the late Big Dee Irwin, a.k.a. Dee Ervin, whose 'I Was Born Blue' was among the many highlights of Swamp's 1970 debut Canyon album 'Total Destruction To Your Mind'. There's nothing wrong, either, with Swamp's own vocal performances, even on the least enticing cuts (step forward again, title track). And his own distinctive piano work is always in evidence and high up in the mix, along with the personalized horn riffs that had been a feature of all Swamp's material and sympathetic string arrangements from long-time Dogg associate Richard Rome (on hiatus from his own then-very-successful Ritchie Family project). Many might say, and this writer might be inclined to agree, that if you're gonna listen to anyone singing to a disco beat, better it be Swamp than some lisping, pneumatic disco bint. But given the choice of an ultra-soulful 'Sam Stone' or 'In My Resume' or a hyper-pounding 'Come A Little Closer Baby' - well, the choice makes itself for most Swamp fans. Cream may have had second thoughts about the album once it was delivered, as it seems never to have been given a US release or even allocated a catalogue number. Most, if not all, known copies of the vinyl issue are of French origin, where Cream's local affiliate Disques Vogue issued it as # 574010 in 1980. There's no evidence to suggest that it was any kind of success in the land of brie and baguettes, and it's since become something of a collector's piece - albeit more for the collectability of the artist in soul circles than for its overall content... For Cream, 'Doing A Party Tonite' was a kind of last musical hurrah - the label shut up shop in early 1981 (which might be yet another reason for its apparent failure to gain a US release). For Swamp Dogg, it was another stop along a road that continued through the 80s, and to this day, with barely a hint of the financial and critical success a talent such as his undoubtedly deserves. Albums on labels like Ala, Takoma, Ichiban, Volt and PointBlank have continued to keep Dogg watchers on the alert for music gems that often match the heights attained by the classic albums of the early 70s - 'Cuffed, Collared And Tagged' among them - and since the mid 90s Swamp has finally given up on the idea of trying to get often-unsympathetic record moguls to understand the method to his madness, instead releasing/reissuing both new and neglected classics on his own SDEG (Swamp Dogg Entertainment Group) imprint. Even as his bus pass eligibility draws ever closer he's still at it in the new millennium, his 2000 offering being - of all things - a soca set, recorded mostly in the music's indigenous homeland Trinidad and entitled 'The Reinvention Of Swamp Dogg'! Popular music has, over the years, had more than its fair share of eccentrics, the artist formerly known as Jerry Williams, Jr. being - by most standards including, I've no doubt, his own - a prime example of the genre. But it's a thin line that separates eccentric and genius, and there's no doubt in this writer's mind that Swamp Dogg has spent the greater part of his career to date on the latter side of the line. Here are a pair of long-out-of-print albums that, although more than two decades old, continue to give a fulsome demonstration of just about every facet of Jerry the wonder Dogg. He's been one of Soul's leading lights for almost half a century now - and long may Swamp continue to confuse, amuse and generally amaze fan and foe alike with his mega-talents and musical outpourings!... -- Chris Bolton, January 2001 Acknowledgements: John Ridley's notes to WESM 500 'Swamp's Things' (Now deleted, sadly...).

All side two tracks produced by Swamp Dogg and also available (in considerably longer versions) on Michelle Williams' album Make Me Yours [1984, Rare Bullet RB LP 2003; 1985, Rams Horn Records RHR 5101]. "Mad Love" is also available on Ted & Venus: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [1992, Warlock/S.D.E.G. WARCD- 2734]. Liner Notes: JERRY "SWAMP DOGG" WILLIAMS Jr. Jerry is almost a living legend in the soul and R & B field, and has been working actively in the business for over fifteen years. As a journalist recently pointed out, all of Jerry's work seems to create that indefinable charismatic quality, as a result of his production techniques. Jerry's production work with other artists has resulted in several northern soul classics in the U.K., but Jerry, as a solo performer, has succeeded in building a reputation over the years in the soul and R & B field. His catalogue of solo albums must now be close to ten. In the production field, his reputation reached a peak when he worked on Doris Duke's soul classic "I'm The Other Woman To The Other Woman". Jerry has also worked with artists such as: ; Arthur Conley; Z.Z. Hill; Little Beaver; Patti , and Charles Whitehead, but one must never forget Jerry's own unmistakable vocal abilities, which have made his many solo albums so powerful. Pinnacle bring the Jerry Williams story up to date by producing for the U.K. market this brand new album which comprises five tracks by Jerry on one side and five by his soulful daughter, Michelle Williams, on the other. Jerry produced the whole album. On Jerry's side, his performances include variations of the old Sam & Dave classic, "Hold On I'm Coming", and the well known Soul Brothers Six number, "Some Kind Of Wonderful" (performed by David Ebo). Michelle performs well on side two, providing a selection of up-tempo and funky soul numbers that are tailor made for the dance floor. Four of the songs were penned by Jerry, but the fifth is a variation of Bettye Swann's soul classic, "Make Me Yours". Tony Berry - Pinnacle Records

Liner Notes: Biographical Trifles: I was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, July 12, 1942 and was fortunate enough to move away as soon as I became of age. Without any formal training I awakened one morning only to find that I was a genius and could master a number of musical instruments including piano, tambourine, sticks, finger cymbals, tweezers, washboard and bobby pin. At eighteen years old I was Captain of the volleyball team. Got married when I was 21, Yvonne: damn near ruined her life - so I filed for a divorce which wasn't granted, blah, blah, blah, blah, yak, yak, etc., and so on... Became a bartender by day and a carpenter by night while she stayed at home to raise our new born orangutan. We later moved into a one room, cold water flat with Wally Roker, , Jerry Wexler, Gene Autry, Snow White, Moms Mabley and a whole bunch of other people who are going to be uptight because their names aren't listed in detail with their social views and other fetishes. I owe all my present success to a very dear person, someone who stuck by me when things were really bad and has never made a motion to harm me or my talents in any way. A person whom I love, worship and admire beyond any shadow of doubt - ME!!!

Notes from Swamp Dogg's record store website: Tracks 1, 5, 8 and 9 appeared as the therapeutic "A" side of his album, which tells an abridged story of his early bouts with panic attacks and agoraphobia. Several vocal tracks were re-recorded and the result is a more dynamic musical work than it was in 1974. The liner notes for the Have You Heard This Story???? tracks state, "Includes New Swamp Dogg Vocals and Some Norman (Slam) Whitfield, Jr. ". The 2007 remixes were engineered at The Dogg's House, Northridge, California. Tracks 1, 5 and 9 have been remixed with additional background vocals from Swamp Dogg. The newly added background vocals on "The Mind Does The Dancing While The Body Pulls The Strings" also incorporates a lyric line from the Buddy Miles song "Them Changes". All of the Have You Heard This Story???? tracks (except track 8) are shorter than what appears on the vinyl version of the album released in 1974. All of the CD version tracks (except track 8) are anywhere from 13 to 39 seconds shorter than the vinyl version tracks, most noticeably "Did I Come Back Too Soon (Or Stay Away Too Long)" and "God Ain't Blessing America".

ORIGINAL Liner Notes: Special thanks to the Holiday Inn who made me pay in advance and then double locked my door. My gratitude to Steve Alaimo who pointed out all of my artistic shortcomings, lack of talent, and inability to negotiate on a higher plane. Thanks Steve, for buying this LP. And then there is Henry Stone, kind granddaddy of pseudo-Miami soul...I'll never forget his words..."Money? Why do you need money? All you're gonna do is spend it foolishly on your home, family, career, etc., etc., etc. Stay in the studio where you belong, everything will be all right." I took his advice and stayed in the studio eight months, without coming out for food, drink, clothes or bath. My family was gone, my house was converted to a Qwki Car Wash, and other people were singing my style. Henry, you got some advice for a niggers ass!! You also might be wondering why this album is entitled "Swamp Dogg's Greatest Hits"...That's only because you haven't every heard any of the songs, which is due mainly to the fact that you don't listen to rock stations in Santa Domingo, Aruba, Tel-Aviv, Capetown, Forte de France, Pakistan, Sudan, and Bethlehem, Pa., just to name a few. A Swamp Dogg fan is a devoted fan! When you enter a Swamp Dogg fan's home, you'll find that they have secured every means of Swamp Dogg communication possible: posters, reel to reel, eight track, cassettes, LP's, EP's, 45's, 78's, 8 x 10's, sheet music, Swamp Dogg magnetic cleaning cloths, Swamp Dogg display racks, needles, browser boxes, divider cards, special playback and recording equipment that is geared only for Swamp Dogg paraphernalia, and let's not forget my special polyethylene bags which you give to your younger brothers and sisters to play with while you're worshipping the dogg. Why am I loved so by these people? This was answered by the noted Polish doctor and philosopher Iamsuri Boondiskulchok Noritaka Musikverlage Dacla who said, "If you funk King Kong long enough you'll learn to love him."

Same Train Twice (5:25; actual time = 5:19) Notes: Contains 1 full album, You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie, and an un-released country album, we'll call The Mercury Record, because they commissioned it, then ran like hell after second thought about signing a Black country artist. You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie - This was scheduled to be released with the title "It's A Bitch", which was before Johnny Guitar Watson's album. Unfortunately we were both on DJM and he had more clout and better numbers so some ass hole decided to rename my album "You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie" and put a ninety year old man on the cover dancing with a young girl. "You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie" Personnel Produced and arranged by Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams. Executive Producer: Dr. Beverly Green- Williams. Keyboards: Swamp Dogg. Guitar: Travis Wammack. Drums: Jimmy Evans. Bass: Bob Wray. Percussion: Audie Watkins. Horns: Harvey Thompson, Sunny Royal, Harrison Callaway, Ronnie Eades, Mike Stough, Stacy Goss, Charles Rose.

Special Thanks and love to my friend, Steve Popovich, who had visions of me as the next Black country star. He tried to sign me to Mercury Nashville, when he was vice president, after the album was completed, but he was met with plenty opposition. I didn't push the issue...after all he did what he could do. I didn't want him to lose his job trying to sell pig feet to Muslims. Some more thanks and love to J.R. Williams, who brought this project and several other Nashville geared projects of mine to fruition. [Notes from the Swamp Dogg website] Some of the greatest musicians and singers that ever played the Opry and Hee Haw are on The Mercury Record...J.D. Maness, Jim Vest, Tommy Williams, Ernie Reed, Dottie Delonibus, Bobby Hardin and Mary Fielder. We kept it country, right down to Danny Dunkleberger engineering and tracking at LSI in Nashville. I wanted to stay clear of the "if it wasn't cut in Nashville then it ain't country". This is the real deal. Bonus track 19, "Same Train Twice", was recorded for a movie that wanted a Bo Diddley background. Seventeen years later and the movie is still on the drawing board. Bonus Track Credits Produced, arranged, and written by Jerry Williams. Published by Jerry Williams Music (BMI). Engineer: Roger Curly (Jamland Studio, Mission Hills, Ca.). Bass: Duke Jobe. Guitar: Guitar Shorty. Keyboards: Swamp Dogg. Drums: Kenny Altbush. Additional Notes: The Mercury Record was probably produced circa 1981-82, so assumed due to the inclusion of guitarist Bob Etoll who worked with Swamp Dogg at the time. Although most of the track times stated on the insert are incorrect, the actual track times for the "You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie" album are the same as the vinyl versions (1976, DJM Records/Vee Jay International DJF 20476).

Liner Notes: Special thanks to: Turkey and China for supplying the refreshments...Casey for being very obstinate since he has been put in charge of answering the phone for ...Henry Stone who really went out on a limb to pay my bed and board for cutting the album (between you and I, my hotel turned out to be Steve Alaimo's house which is infested with frogs and a faggot great dane)...Butterball for being able to bring back two dollars worth of cold fried chicken for six dollars (and the nerve to try to throw your mind off course by putting in two things of french fries and three rolls)-God--Butterball (or is that bless? Oh, well! --)...Candy for taking the day off to make sure I didn't borrow anything from the home - who the hell wants a black towel ensemble??? This album is so funky that it'll gag a maggot and drown a drop. Due to the fact that a maggot is the funkiest thing on earth; if this LP can make him gag which it already has, no telling what it'll do to your funny ass...Here's hoping that you'll like it as much as I do...if you don't just pucker up as I'm backing up --.

The vinyl reissue comes on green vinyl. The CD includes 2 bonus tracks from March 1972 at KSAN-FM Studios in San Francisco, California: "Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe" (7:36), and a cover of ' song "Honky Tonk Woman" (3:29). "Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe" was previously issued on the 1981 vinyl LP Uncut & Classified 1A [Charly CRB1026]; the version included here omits the spoken count-in. All of the track timings as noted on the CD digipack are incorrect. Artwork restoration: Geoff Crowe. Mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters. Photos courtesy of Swamp Dogg. Special thanks: Geoffrey Weiss, Peter Heur, Suzy Shaw. Barcode 0-95081-01442-8. The outer shrink wrap has a lime-green & black sticker with the wording, "1973 Southern Soul. This album is so funky that it'll Gag A Maggott. Swamp Dogg. Alive Natural Sound." The CD digipack contains the original liner notes. The CD tray insert has a photo of Swamp Dogg in a business suit probably @1976-77. The CD is a replica of the Stone Dogg label with the additional new comment from Swamp Dogg, "I've been verbally chastised for the use of profanity ... To those whom I've offended I say fuck you!". There is a tri-fold insert containing 2 additional photos (Swamp Dogg and Ruth Brown lounging on orange bean bag chairs, and Swamp Dogg in white cape outfit singing in concert), and new notes by Swamp Dogg: Why wasn't this album cover considered one the best of all times, instead of "Rat On?" I was making a statement with "Rat On" but "Gag A Maggot" was designed to make you puke and possibly shit on yourself. Whoever decided to categorize "Rat On" as such, was in charge but out of touch; not unlike ol' crazy ass Nixon and Bernie Madoff. In spite of everything, this album was a labor of love. I loved Miami where we recorded it; the parties that we threw in the studio and the freedom to create and conceptualize, with some of the original card carrying crazy motherfuckers like Steve Alaimo, Al Kooper, Blowfly, Butterball and let's not forget the founder of the "I Ain't Giving You muddafuddas Shit" society, Henry "motherfuckin" Stone. I didn't realize that when Henry gave me my own label, it meant I could fuck getting paid. Henry wasn't like other industry heads. He fucked you and made you love it. You'd wake up the next day and ask "what was that and what else can I contribute to the cause?" Henry used a condom, some gel and fatback grease. You almost apologized for being unresponsive. Henry, I thank you for the Ph.D. I've been told I was light years ahead of myself with my music. Well I've finally caught the fuck up. My trip was so long that when I got back, vinyl was back and the President was black. I must have been frozen in ice for several decades. People now telling me how great I am and I'm a genius. Hell I was great back then, but I was the only one who knew it or gave a good goddamn. At the behest of Patrick Boissel, "Alive label biggie," I've included two bonus tracks that were done "live" in San Francisco at KSAN radio in 1972. They are "Mama's Baby Daddy's Maybe" and "Honky Tonk Woman". The latter had a slight tear on the master tape but it's miniscule and you wouldn't have known, if I had kept my black mouth shut. That's the downfall of niggas, always trying to make points, so they tell it all. Hey Henry! How many did we sell? Swamp Dogg By the way, this "Gag A Maggot" recording is damn good and upon listening, you will witness the finest quality mastering that could have been achieved by any of the other mastering giants considering that the tapes have vanished.

Liner notes: REFLECTIONS When I started this album, as usual, some of my friends like Chuck King and Frank VanHoorn thought I had gone even further over the edge. What they and many others have forgotten, is that I started on the edge and I never moved. The reason they are drawn to me is because I'm willing to bet on what I believe in. Producing Swamp Dogg is therapeutic for me. Many people have suggested that I let someone else produce me. That would be like having someone else go to a psychiatrist for me...or you. Where's the benefit? Again, I'm standing out on a ledge with the rock concept I chose for this cd but then...I see Steve Greenberg is out here with me...or is this an apparition? This CD pays tribute to some of the recording artist that influenced the direction of my life and career. I dropped out of college because the music professor thought that classical music was the only legitimate music. In his book, people such as Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Little Richard were musical frauds who weren't contributing anything to our culture. I was interested in studying the highbrow music, but I also wanted jazz and rhythm 'n' blues. I use to get a whooping every time Fats Domino came to Portsmouth, Va. I would deliberately stay out past my curfew, climb up on the roof of the Petite Ballroom and watch Fats. My grandmama tore my ass up, but it was well worth it. I saw Larry Williams drive his big '56/'57 Lincoln convertible, with California license plates (in Portsmouth that was parallel to being from Mars) up to the outdoor stage at Sunset Lake Park...jump up on the top of the seat and step over to the stage. As he approached the piano, the band started playing "Slow Down." The crowd went wild and I stood and stared at this bad motherfucker as his talent set fire to that stage. I turned on the radio and I heard "Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On," and I went berserk. Whoever that is, I want to be just like them. It was , the "Wildman". I bought every record he put out, watched him on television and saw him in concert. I knew then what my piano style was going to be. A cross between Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis while utilizing the stage presence of Larry Williams. With half a stomach, he's still the "Killer." Chuck Berry? One of the top nine greatest ever born. Chuck writes songs like he's writing a book or a screenplay. I got my Ph.D in writing from the University of Chuck Berry. Now you know why I'm so damn good...just kidding, but he made me a writer who can compete with almost anyone. His stage presence and performances are just what the rock musician genre needed, when they were trying to figure out what to do on stage beyond playing and singing. Chuck fused country and blues and took it to heights that no one else has ever achieved. Damn, I want Chuck to hear this. I don't know whether he'll kick me or hug me, but any contact with Chuck is good. I was already an Elvis fan but when he did "Teddy Bear," that solidified him in my life forever. I loved the way he made a song his own. When Elvis was singing it, you never thought of the other person who sung it. Making a song my own is what I got from Elvis. When you listen to my "Heartbreak Hotel," you'll admit that I did not try to emulate "The King." That would have been real stupid! Bruce Springsteen fascinates me with the way he can bring a song home with a small aggregation; something I utilized in this album. I almost used a sax on "Hungry Heart" but I didn't leave a place for it and I also wanted to record an album devoid of horns. Knowing me, if I used a horn on one song, I'd find a reason to use them on all of the songs, thus revisiting Muscle Shoals all over again and drastically changing the texture of this CD. The first time I heard "Hungry Heart" I ran out and got the album. Bruce kicked ass on that one. I dream of selling out concerts the way he does. He's definitely "the Boss." The "Queen of Soul." As a man, I wish I had the voice of Aretha. Nobody on earth can out sing her. She does more with one note than the average singer does with the whole song. I had a chance to produce her when I was on staff with Atlantic ('68/'69) and I passed on it. Jerry Wexler had her in the studio and asked me if I'd like to produce something on her. I said yes. Then he said that I would not be paid my in-house record royalty, because "this is Aretha." To which I replied, "in that case I have nothing to gain." Thinking back...I had a lot to gain via her singing my songs, her friendship, her collaboration and who knows...eventually Jerry might have given me the house percentage. If I ever get a chance to speak to her I'm going to try to convince her to go into the studio with me, because I know I can produce a smash on her. Hey Rea!!!!! I'd never heard a record like "Satisfaction" in my life. When it came over the radio in Philadelphia, it gave me chills. A backbeat to beat all backbeats. Mick was blues'n his little skinny ass off; much to the likes of and Howling Wolf, two of my all time blues favorites. The guitar laid a foundation throughout the record unlike anything I'd ever heard. I've always wanted to sing this song, but only if I could make it different while keeping it the same. This is the employment of dichotomy to say the least. The Stones have made me confident that no matter how ancient, crinkled and wrinkled I become, with some energy, I will always be able to go out on stage and entertain the people to a good measure of "Satisfaction." After Otis Redding did it his way as great as Mick did it his way, I figured that there was no other way left. I finally conceptualized it my way in January '09. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" has been recorded by everyone from to Frank Sinatra to Blowfly to you name it. Again I wanted to make this song Swamp Dogg while keeping it Fab Four. I love my rendition of this song and if you don't, please keep it to yourself. Paul and John didn't record or write any mediocre material. They did covers of Chuck Berry, little Richard, Larry Williams, , the Marvelettes, , and just about every black artist who ever passed by a studio and they did em' their way. Somebody asked me if I thought Paul McCartney would institute legal proceedings because of my recording. Damn...did I sing it that bad? They wrote a lot of songs that inspire me to sing. I did "Lady Madonna" on my "Cuffed Collared & Tagged" album in '72. It was a big hit in the Caribbean...I plan to do at least ten more of their songs including "You Won't See Me." Jimmy Reed, the world's greatest folk blues singer. Between February 1955 and June 1966, Jimmy had six records in the national top ten, eight in the top 20 and one in the top forty. Oh he had many more like "I'm Going To New York," etc... I saw him on stage with his wife, Mama Reed, who use to sit behind him and hold the strap of the harness that kept him standing up because he was so inebriated. In spite of this he put on an encore performance, blowing his harmonica, playing his guitar and inaudibly singing his little Leland, Mississippi heart out. He wrote the songs just like he sang them. Sometimes they rhymed, sometimes they didn't. When you listen to "Ain't That Loving You Baby" you'll see what I'm talking about. I love his tenacity. He went from pickin' cotton to doing a hitch in the navy to becoming a "shakeout" man in a foundry working in one hundred and eighteen degree heat to being a truck driving junkman entrepreneur to a special butcher for Armour where he was one of nine men boning four hundred and eighty hog shoulders an hour. Somewhere during these backbreaking jobs Jimmy became a major star and award winning songwriter. Did I mention that he was uneducated? "My Girl" has never been sung as great as sung it with the Temptations. With that in mind I've treaded carefully, not even singing it on stage, because I did not feel that my performance could come up to the Temptations' valet, not to even mention David. My biggest influence here is Smokey Robinson who wrote and produced "My Girl." Smokey is among those nine greatest songwriters ever born and to sing one of his songs is only second to having him produce it. Well...here I come with my version, who everyone seems to like, even Steve Turner who thinks music went out of business after David Ruffin stopped recording. As many records as I've sold in the Caribbean, I felt compelled to thank them by paying tribute to the greatest music legend ever to emerge from there, via 's "I Shot The Sheriff." I love him because he had the nerve to speak out about injustices, regardless of the possible reprimands. I've done that in most all of my albums accept this one. I guess I'm just tired of speaking out for people who shun me for doing it. Black radio won't play me but white rock and secondary will. Most of my recordings like "I Was Born Blue," "Synthetic World," "God Bless America For What," are still being played throughout the Caribbean and The Netherlands, and the songs are mostly about the plight and injustices of people in America, of all colors. Marley's "," "Zimbabwe," "Babylon System," and "Ambush" are classic protest songs that have been influential in many struggles, throughout the world. I can only wish that I could have permeated the broadcast media the way he has. I have one remake on this CD, "Total Destruction To Your Mind...2009," which is a classic Swamp Dogg protest song. EXCERPTS FROM THE PRESS RELEASES: With the release of Give 'Em As Little As You Can..., says Swamp Dogg, "again I'm standing out on a ledge, with the rock concept I chose for this CD...but then...I see Steve Greenberg is out there with me...or is this an apparition?" "Black people go to bed and wake up the next day and their address has been changed," Swamp Dogg said in an interview with BluesCritic.com. "Like we went to bed one night as rhythm & blues artists and we woke up and we were no longer. Then it's soul, then it's R&B and that [R&B] is someone like Usher. Nothing against Usher, you understand, but that's not really rhythm & blues. We were rock & roll in the early Fifties. You had white rock 'n' rollers and black rock 'n' rollers, like Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Then one day rock 'n' roll became all white while our category kept changing around... My songs were just as good, but I didn't feel that I had as much heart in my songs as they had in theirs," the singer told Richie Unterberger [Unknown Legends of Rock 'n' Roll (Backbeat Books, 1998)]. "Because when I sang about being wonderful, I didn't really believe it. 'Cause I've never been caught up in 'I'm a great-lookin' guy and when I walk onstage, the bitches fall out' - I never believed no shit like that. And I had good reason not to believe it, because it never fuckin' happened!" His departure from Atlantic signaled that it was time for a change...and so Swamp Dogg was born. Without this sudden and subversive identity shift, the artist reflects, "I would've most likely started drinking and become an alcoholic, running around singing one big hit - whatever that would be - and just bored with life myself, singing that same piece of shit." "I'm glad I didn't make it, back in the day...as Little Jerry Williams," Swamp Dogg told BluesCritic.com. "I really wasn't that unhappy, 'cause I didn't get into music for the money but because I love the music. You can see by the shit I put out, I don't care too much for the brass ring!" "As Swamp Dogg, I could be whoever I was at that particular time. If I wanna sing a love song, if I wanna sing about fucking, if I want to sing about politics - whatever I wanted to sing about, I could do it as a dog, since you expect a dog to do just about anything...and he's forgiven afterwards!"

Liner Notes: To Whomever It May Concern: This LP marks the sixth LP recorded by me--THE DOGG!! The first LP is still the Bootleggers Dream... The Second one Elektra is still trying to figure out how to merchandise...The Third is still being used as a Playtoy for the Bennets...The Fourth one is waiting for re-issue by Henry Stone as soon as this one hits the charts in order to save on promotional cost...the Fifth one was never released by Brut because it didn't smell like perfume...AND NOW THIS ONE--We'll wait and see...HELP!!! I have come to the conclusion that I'm a freak for re-jection; if not I'd drag ass out of this business--hurt me!!!...I think I love it-- Where else but in America could a person own a ROLLS ROYCE, an ELDORADO, MARK IV, MERCEDES limousine, an estate in Long Island, an apartment in Hollywood and still be considered a failure? Well, you're looking at him and listening to him. I designed this album for you to enjoy--I did my best work to date--I wrote my ass off for you--I sung my ass off for you--now if this still is not enough for you, just remember the old Chinese saying "YUCK FOU." Sincerely YOUR DOGG AND MINE!! SWAMP P.S. If that don't get it, you can use the Chesapeake River for a dusty road. P.P.S.

Liner Notes: Why does jury duty pay more than my job and why is it the only Joy I know is a dishwashing detergent? Two of the many questions that Swamp Dogg fans wrestle with daily while awaiting my new LP releases-- which by the way are getting further and further apart, thanks to some "rocket scientist" who works for the trade magazines building higher and better mountains for niggers like me to conquer via newer categorized charts, e.g. The Top Ten Best Black Dance Records That Can Be Fully Enjoyed by a One-Legged White Man, The Top 100 Best Black Mute Rappers, Adult Contemporary Almost Black - Note Quite Pop Big Band Arrangements of Inspirational Songs Performed by a Trio; The Black 50 Country Chart, The Top 75 Best New LPs Released Within the Last Year by a Dead Black Group, etc., etc., and the beast goes on...... I thought I finally had my shit together, then my ass-hole fell apart in '81 when I released my last LP on the Takoma Label, a Chrysalis brain-less child. After removing the corporate shrapnel from my medulla oblongata I entered into some new ventures that proved to be more destructive to my thalamus than "crack", e.g., a label distribution deal with Allegiance, management of the world class Wreckin Cru, seeking out literary agents to represent my cookbook, the formation of D&D Records which was dedicated to rap only-- which is enough alone to give Sigmund Freud an Excedrin headache, the launching of a telemarketing firm with a partner who had never done anything right in his life including being born--he was a Caesarian, got involved with the Timex Social Club ("Rumors") mess through another "Bosom Buddy(?)" who managed them and had all business wrapped up neatly--about as neat as you can wrap an activated time bomb around dog shit...... Became partners with an Australian tycoon/buffoon who lavished himself and others in conversations about his difficult struggle to become one of down-under's most affluent and apparently took some pride in trying to align me with poverty and becoming one of the homeless--the above is some of the positive aspects from the last seven years because the negative reads like Evil Knievel's medical records, Jesus's astrological forecast commencing at age 33 and Hitler's six million point plan for world peace and harmony. Now I'm embarking on another project that Tommy Couch and Stewart Madison assured me "is futile"; a company dedicated to blues. I'm quite sure they would make a hasty exit from blues if they weren't managing to eke out a meager existence on a fifty-million dollar a year gross income. My heart goes out to them--in the last three years it was a struggle for them just to buy Muscle Shoals, Alabama while retaining the pink slip on Jackson, Mississippi. For reasons only known to the world I dedicate this collection of works to Steve Alaimo, who taught me the true meaning of rejection, Tommy and Stewart, for whom without them I wouldn't need an attorney, , for re-affirming the fact that the blues is all-right, Bobby McClure for putting the "C" in Confrontation, Guitar Shorty, who gives new meaning to the world late, Denny Bruce, for still believing that the blues is all right, Cris Darrow, a photographer who doesn't bully me and talk to me like I have a tail when I make scene suggestions for my own shit, Tony Mathews, who allows me to hear things from his guitar that others said was impossible, Ed Mosley, who never gets out of pocket with tempo or temperament, Ray Cooksey, who I don't know why he's avoiding me, Wally Roker, the mother of Swamp Dogg, Norm Goodman, for editing/filming the videos regardless of the subject matter, Julian Earls, for growing up with me and playing "Queen of the Night", Jeri Yvonne Williams, for coming into my life when I needed a reason to stay alive, love myself, abort hypochondria, delete self-pity and return to being the strong person that I am today, my , for starting to fall out just as I was psyched-up to deal with graying and mid-figure double digit age numbers, Victor Averette, sentry who guarded my hair while it fell out, Duke, who I still don't know why he became so funky, Marshall Sehorn, who hasn't figured out whether he loves me or hates me--I wish Barbara would tell him, Etta James, for not signing with me, Luther Ingram for not...... Albert King, for not even acknowledging my presence, Ruth Brown, for announcing I'm a crook on her infrequent (Thank God!) T.V. appearances, Bob Merlis, who personifies what friendship really is, Gene Sculatti, whenever I call he answers--friendship, Robert Feist who told me I couldn't afford him after he recorded The Bangles, The Bungles, The Blasters, The Buddahs, The Beaters or some shit, Leon Haywood, another friend indeed, William "Smitty" Smith, yet to discover the periphery of life, Paul LaMonica, to whom the Emancipation Proclamation is meaningless, Art Fein, a stranger in paradise, Roger Redding, and yet another friend, Fred Rector, who can do more with a record than God can with a Christian, Cliff Shaw, the "Love Man", Trevor Swaine, see Metralgia, Steve Turner, Jackpot-Friend-Stranger Combo, Tom Vickers, because he knows the difference between Almo and The Alamo, Erskin, for disassociating himself from me, Norman, Jr. see Erskin, Durie, see Erskin, Stevie, see Erskin, Tony C. see Erskin, Ed Wright, another wonderful force in my life and my mother for taking time out of her life in '42 to give life. -- Swamp Dogg Digitally remastered on-demand CD-R version released February 2014 by Essential Media Group.

Liner Notes: I'm sending out an insurmountable amount of love to the woman who's been my inspiration and motivation for more than four decades, my loving wife...Yvonne. She has remained faithful and by my side through some real questionable, dumb and shaky shit. Oh no...I'm not always the genius you know and love. More love for my daughter, Jeri who is enrolled in the American University of the Caribbean to become a neuro-surgeon. May God bless her in all of her endeavors because she is the sweetest daughter anyone could ever wish for. If we have it, it's yours. I love you Desiree Anita (...our first born). You have our support forever. I love you Antoinette Denise (our second born), but neither your mama nor I have a clue as to what your problem is with us...and what was the story on that fuckin' picture to your mother with no return address or addressee? I love you Jocelyn Marie (our third born) and we're so happy that you have your shit together. We'll always be here for you. I love you Michelle Cecelia (our fourth born). You have laid some dumb shit at our doorstep and expect us to ignore, forget and go on with life as planned. We can never do that because you sure fucked up our plans. Nevertheless, life goes on and God makes the corrections. We'll always love you and I guess we're silly enough to be there if shit goes too awry. What's the story on that fuckin' picture to your mother of you and Toni with no address or addressee? Victoria Michelle (our granddaughter) we're here for you always. We love you. Even after our demise, we'll still be with you via love, property, money, copyrights, etc., etc. Always be cool with Jeri and stay close. Bernard Jerry (our second grandson), we love you and we're 100% behind you. Stay sweet(ie)...you know what I mean. You've always been a gentleman and always fought for your mother. Your rewards will be great. Sweetie's gone (boo hoo). Ronald Jerome (our first grandson)...it's a pleasure to know you and we love you. As cheap as you are, you are definitely on the road to being very wealthy. You've also taken good care of your mother. I love you Loren (our third and last grandson). As you grow older, remember we're here for you. Helene Blue I love you. You came through when the world was kicking my ass. If I have it and you need it...it's yours. A tremendous amount of love, respect and understanding to Norman Whitfield, Jr., our partner and if the position was open I would gladly have him for a son. He eats a bit much, but that could be remedied with a refrigerator lock. Karamu Shaw...... If I could have picked a brother, it would have been you. Love always. Marie Washington, the sister I never had. I love you truly. Debra Wright, the other sister I never had. I love you dearly. Carolyn and Lester (Woody) Woodard...my cousin and cousin-in-law...I love you, we love you. Wilson Williams...I love you. You've been a true friend since our teen days in Norfolk/Portsmouth, VA. I value your friendship and I'll cherish it forever. Thanks for the studio. Please don't ever hesitate to call on me for whatever. We've shared in the past and we'll share in the future. People think we're brothers, I wish we were. Mama...maybe one day before we're both too old you'll realize how much I love you, Yvonne loves you and the kids tried to love you. There have been so many things that I wanted to share with you but there was always a sign that said "road ends ahead", "detour", "watch for falling rock", etc.; so I've never completed giving and sharing my love for you, with you. Yes, I know you love me. I love you and may God continue to love and bless, Deacon James Ray, Benjamin Wright, Deacon Roy Bailey, Sister Earnestine Bailey, Rev.

I'm looking forward to many many more collaborations with you...love ya!! Liner Notes: Originally this album was supposed to be a cookbook but due to the fact it outsizzles a cookbook, I've done what you have in your hand or listening to or throwing in the garbage or... I produced this album because (in 25 words or less) I love Rock 'N' Roll, I disapprove of 90% of the national politics and repudiate the other 10, still think the establishment sucks, and I needed a deal worse than a dead man needs a coffin...(okay! 39 words or less). I want to thank Mary Tyler Moore, Tyrone Davis, Carroll O'Connor, Don Knots, Mayor Tom Bradley, , James Beard, Marilyn Chamber, Reggie Jackson and Annette Haven for being there (here) whenever, whatever they do was needed, wherever. I also would like to dedicate this masterpiece to Mel Posner but he hates my guts!! So instead I'm dedicating it to my wife who also ain't that crazy about me but she's not on the "guts trip" yet. Also she claims that after all these madness years I still raise her flag, lower her drawbridge, frost her cupcakes and boogie her woogie. In the event you find this bit of musical, lyrical magic offensive, distasteful, repulsive, inane, meritless, dim witted and unsatisfying, instead of cute, creative, bouncy, beat-ty and sophisticated with a mixture of R'N'B, Rock 'N' Roll, Country, Folk, Jazz, thumpy bass, breaks, hooks, change of pace ballads, subtle orchestrations, new hues, ambitious material, notable tracks, busy drumming and gutsy guitar...stick it way up your ass (polywrap and all), run backwards nine miles on the Hollywood Freeway to my house and your money will be cheerfully refunded. Last and least I'd like to thank the trade reviewers for providing me with the above adjective-cal "mumbo-jumbo!" Additional Notes: The men sitting around the table on the album cover photo are, left to right: Bob Merlis (Warner Bros. Records publicist), Art Fein (manager, etc.), Sam Watkins (Swamp Dogg's father-in-law), "Major" Bill Liebowitz, Gene Sculatti (author/musicologist), Jon Monday (Takoma Records general manager), Denny Bruce (Takoma Records president), Warren Lanier (publicist), and Bill Coben (attorney). See: http://www.rocksbackpages.com/features/001122_hoskyns_swamp.html A press kit was released in conjunction with this album. It was a 2-pocket tan-colored folder containing a 3-page biography of Swamp Dogg, an 8" x 10.25" black and white photo of Swamp Dogg in white top hat and top coat, and an 8-page digest-sized cookbook titled "Exalted Gastronomical Concoctions Or How Does a Swamp Dogg Unwind...: excerpt from Jerry Williams, Jr. (The Swamp Dogg), The Cook Book That Was Heard Around the World" (Los Angeles, CA: Atomic Art, 1980). 3-page Press Kit Biography: A Swamp Dogg bio? You've got to be kidding. It could fill a book. There are plenty of sources qualified to speak on the subject. Like Irving Berlin. He sued over copyright infringement when the Dogg composed his classic, "God Bless America For What". Or ask the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover: his FBI tapped Mr. Dogg's private line back in the 70's when S.D. was part of Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland's "F.T.A." troupe [Free The Army, March 14, 1971 - late-1971; also a film released in July 1972 by American International Pictures]. Or try Gene Pitney, Johnny Paycheck, Gary U.S. Bonds, The Drifters, The Staple Singers, Irma Thomas, Loretta Lynn or The Commodores. They've all made music with songs he's written or produced for them. (You could even, should you be in his neighborhood, check out the Dogg's personal jukebox, listing 160 sides he's had a hand in). It started 38 short years ago in Portsmouth, Virginia. There, Jerry Williams Jr. was born and soon revealed himself to be a child prodigy. "At the age of 7," he recalls, "I showed musical ability: I could crawl around while listening to the radio. This immediately made me a genius to my parents. I learned to sing "Jesus Loves Me" and was put on exhibit for every relative, neighbor, drunk and pervert that stumbled through our house." Not long thereafter, Williams moved his exhibit into the world of professional music-making. As "Little Jerry", he recorded "I'm A Lover Man", a bonafide hit that eventually put him on the road alongside showbiz vets like , Ben E. King and Sgt. Berry ("Green Berets") Sadler. Little Jerry's career continued into the mid-60's, with time-outs for marriage (to Yvonne, "co-producer and roommate" on "I'm Not Selling Out...) and the Army (a stiff, 8-day stint, his induction the result of an Army snafu). Meanwhile Williams kept writing songs (2000 published to date), touring (he appeared at the Apollo), preparing for the next plateau of his fine, fine, superfine career. In 1968 he became staff producer for Atlantic Records. There he produced the Commodores' first sides, wrote and cut singles with Wilson Pickett, Dee Dee Warwick, Patti LaBelle and the Blue-Belles, the Drifters and Gary U.S. Bonds. The same year, Williams wrote and produced Gene Pitney's monstrous comeback, the international best-seller, "Heartbreaker". Concurrent with this, so far the biggest feather in his cap, Williams was plotting, preparing and arranging the untimely death of Jerry Williams Jr. By 1970, "It was time," says Swamp Dogg, "for Jerry Williams the performer to die, so Jerry Williams the producer-writer arranged for his death, so the real motherfucker Swamp Dogg could emerge. Those of us who were involved consider it a mandatory mercy killing." Swamp Dogg's arrival was heralded by one of the wildest birth announcements of all time -- his first album, "Total Destruction To Your Mind" (Canyon Records). The lp spawned a hit soul single ("Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe"), picked up more "underground" FM airplay that anyone dared expect and got the Dogg written up in the New York Times (where he was singled out as a prime exponent of "the New Wave in black music"). Rolling Stone found "Total Destruction" to be one of the outstanding records of the year and suggested it was "a serious work which could help revitalize the languishing world of R&B and soul music." It didn't. Which only proved the world at large was not yet ready for Swamp Dogg's brand of witty wordplay, wry social commentary and fundamental funk. Which didn't stop Swamp. He went on to release such subsequent landmarks as Rat On (on Elektra), Cuffed, Collared, Tied And Gassed (Cream), Have You Heard This Story? (Island), Gag A Maggott and Swamp Dogg's Greatest Hits??? (both on TK's Stone Dogg label). Duly acclaimed by the critics and his loyal fans, the Dogg did not stop at composing and performing some of the last decade's most original music. The writer-singer of "I Was Born Blue", "Did I Come Back Too Soon (Or Stay Away Too Long)", "Call Me Nigger" and "Wife Sitter" also turned in startling versions of John Prine's "Sam Stone", the Bee Gee's "Gotta Get A Message To You" and Joe South's "Hey Redneck". (In 1971, he also managed the time to write the Grammy-nominated "She's All I Got", a number 1 Country hit for Johnny Paycheck and a soul chart-topper for Freddie North.) Now it's '81 and Swamp Dogg is eleven years old. Says the late Jerry Williams of his pre-teen brainchild: "People say 'Swamp Dogg is crazy!' I say, 'Right!' He's unique. He only sings things he feels are pertinent or funny." Which neatly deposits us on the doorstep of Dogg's Takoma debut, "I'm Not Selling Out, I'm Buying In". To say that "Selling Out" is Swamp Dogg's crowning achievement, that it is his highest honor, the triumph of a lifetime, a brilliantly incisive statement on the human condition, the apex of artistic expression of musical genius in the latter half of this century -- would surely be understatement. Let's not sell "Selling Out" short: it's merely the best Swamp Dogg album ever made. You want reasons? Try his delicious duet with Esther Phillips, "The Love We Got Ain't Worth Two Dead Flies" ("I wouldn't stoop to write a conventional love song" - S.D.), or try "Low Friends In High Places" ("They've got the power and the money"). Or check his tribute to the Golden State ("the melting pot of the "), "California Is Drowning And I Live Down By The River". Or "Total Destruction To Your Mind Once Again" or "Wine, Women And Rock & Roll" or... Like we said, it could fill a book. But books don't make for a thought-provoking listening experience you can dance to. "I'm Not Selling Out, I'm Buying In" does. 8-page digest-sized cookbook, recipes include: " Meat Loaf", Swamp Dogg Polynesian Beef Thins, Atomic Art Spaghetti And Meatballs (3 Track), Corned Beef Cha Cha Cha, Chicken 'N' Dumplins , File Gumbo Fats Domino (3 Track), Soul Stirrer Turkey Scallopini, Pigmeat (Spareribs) Markham, Nashville Pancakes Orange, Swamp Dogg's Orange Syrup, "Portsmouth Virginia Tomato Pudding 33 1/3 RPM", Cheese Cake (2 Track).

Liner Notes: "Let's face it, Swamp is only the alter ego/footman for Jerry Williams, and a figment of your imagination." - JERRY WILLIAMS Jr. aka SWAMP DOGG "IT'S ALL GOOD" embraces three decades in the career of Jerome C. Williams, Jr., a man better known to his fans as Swamp Dogg, or just plain Swamp. It's a career that has spanned six decades (and counting), nearly 20 albums and roughly 40 singles, not to mention a fair number of recording aliases. It's a career that has been plagued, time and again, by the 'Buzzard Luck' Swamp sang about in 1974, but is revered by almost every devotee of soul music, whether they like uptempo 60s dance cuts or downbeat story songs with poignancy guaranteed to rip any heart apart. It doesn't start at the very beginning, and happily there's no end to it yet, but this package chronicles a hefty chunk of Swamp Dogg's career via the singles he released between 1963 and 1989. Several other excellent Swamp 45s, along with many he produced on other equally talented artists, can be found on this set's earlier companion volume "Blame It On The Dogg" (CDKEND 293). It's our hope that you will feel inclined to own both. The full story of how he got into the recording business - and how he morphed from Jerry Williams to Little Jerry to Swamp Dogg - is told in his own words in the highly entertaining notes to "The Little Jerry Williams Anthology" CD released on his own SDEG label over a decade ago (originally published in Soul Survivor magazine in the mid-1980s). I couldn't possibly improve on Swamp's own recounting of events and I wouldn't even begin to try, but with his permission I have incorporated illustrative quotes throughout my own notes and would urge anyone who enjoys "It's All Good" to purchase SDEG 1942 from any reputable internet retailer. Swamp's CD starts with a couple of tracks that he recorded as a 12 year-old in 1954 in his hometown of Portsmouth, Virginia and carries through to the point where Jerry Williams ceased to exist as a recording artist and Swamp Dogg arrived. "It's All Good" contains a sampling of his 1960s sides - including a couple that were not on Swamp's CD - but concentrates more heavily on his singles from the 1970s. Where these titles were also on album we have used the single versions - many on CD for the first time - to preserve the integrity of the CD's subtitle. WE JOIN THE Jerry Williams story in 1963, by which time he'd already been entertaining the public for nine years and had released a handful of recordings for Ember and Aldo Records, none of them especially successful even though they definitely showed that talent was already at work. As well as his own recordings, Little Jerry (as he was then billed) was already getting involved in the production and writing side of music making, both for himself and for other artists. Seven years later Swamp Dogg would become as renowned among soul fans as a writer and producer as he would a singer. Although he often had collaborators on the writing side, Swamp took control in the studio from day one (or, at least, day three or four) of his career. Regardless of whose name appeared on the label as producer, the praise (or, as the man himself might say, the blame) for the finished product goes directly to Swamp. Our earliest selections were recorded for Philadelphia-based labels. Jerry had moved there in 1961 in order to get his career going. Philly was then a hotbed of recording activity and, thanks to the pan-global popularity of local lad Chubby Checker, it often seemed like every other record coming out of the city - and certainly all of Chubby's - heralded the arrival of yet another new dance craze. Chubby had himself burned his way through the twist, the fly, the pony, the hucklebuck, the limbo and countless others, and with the stockpile running dry 'Let's Do The Wobble (Before Chubby Gets It)' seemed like a reasonable plea for any up-and-coming artist looking for a piece of the Checker action. The record was released on Venton Caldwell's V-Tone label, home to intermittent hits and R&B classics such as Bobby Petersen's 'Irresistible You' and Bobby Parker's 'Watch Your Step'. It got some local action but according to Jerry "[Caldwell] forgot to pay me" and the relationship with V-Tone was over almost before it had begun. The biggest positive of Jerry's V-Tone tenure was that it introduced him to a man who he would come to trust and work closely with for almost a decade. Richard Di Cicco was, under his alias of Richard Rome, fast becoming a first-call arranger on sessions in and around the state of . The two hit it off musically and as friends, and Rome would serve as arranger on virtually all of Jerry's sessions, where strings were required, until well into the 1970s, also finding the time to co-write a song or two with Swamp under a second alias, Rick Spain. Strings were required on most of the tracks released by Little Jerry Williams, or just plain Jerry Williams, between 1965 and 1969. Deals with labels such as Calla and Musicor resulted in a swathe of perfectly-crafted 45s that served notice that the man was not someone to be ignored by soul fans. Meanwhile, ever looking for a way to get a foot in the door - any door - that he could kick open on his way to future fame and fortune, Jerry recorded the relentlessly exciting rock 'n' roll cuts 'Hum Baby' and 'She's So Divine'. He came as close to matching the classic Sun sound of the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis as any 20-something black guy from Virginia was every likely to, but interest in rock 'n' roll was at its lowest ebb when 's Academy label released this epochal single. Sales were predictably sparse and the record is rare enough these days to have been counterfeited recently on a lookalike bootleg - surely the ultimate accolade, if an entirely dubious one. The next Little Jerry Williams releases were of a more conventional nature and more in line with then current events in black American music. He fixed up a contract with another PA-based imprint, Southern Sound - owned by Frank Slay, who in partnership with Bob Crewe had been responsible for the writing of rock 'n' roll classics 'Silhouettes', 'Daddy Cool' and 'La-Dee-Dah', to name just a few, and the discovery of Freddy Cannon, to name but one. For Slay he recorded the plaintive and radio-friendly 'I'm The Lover Man' which made enough local noise to be picked up by Warner Brothers' new R&B subsidiary Loma, but which ran out of steam just as it was on the verge of cracking the R&B chart. At Slay's insistence - "either you cut these, or cut nothing" was allegedly the turn of phrase he used - Swamp also recorded a blatantly exploitational tribute to 'Detroit' with somewhat underwhelming results. That single is represented here by its best side, the humorous flip 'The 1965 Kingsize Nicotine Blues' - the closest Jerry ever got to making a jazz recording in any of his musical guises. Slay pitched it to Loma but their opinion of it was scarcely higher than Jerry's. As he says about his subsequent releases on Southern Sound, they "shipped gold and came back platinum." Jerry financed his next session himself. A beautifully-constructed and exquisitely arranged soul ballad, 'Baby You're My Everything' was 100% right for the time and perfectly in sync with the sounds that were all over the R&B charts. Jerry had told Slay that he would cut the track "with my own money. If you like it, reimburse me. If you don't, release me." Frank didn't like it, and Jerry signed a new contract with New York's Calla Records to release the finished single. 'Baby You're My Everything' was released just before Christmas 1965, reaching #32 on the R&B charts in February 1966 and showing enough pop chart promise to give Jerry his first UK-released 45 on Calla-distributor Cameo-Parkway's own logo. (The song was also covered in the UK by ex-RAF quintet Hedgehoppers Anonymous, protégés of Jonathan King.) In the end, it stalled at #122 Pop, but it gave Jerry enough rope with Calla to cut more singles, which included 'Baby Bunny (Sugar Honey)' and 'If You Ask Me (Because I Love You)'. Neither meant much to US buyers, but 'If You Ask Me' made Jerry a belated hero of the UK's Northern Soul scene when it became one of the biggest floor-fillers of the time following the track's rediscovery in 1973. Jerry stayed with Calla until early 1967. Among the recordings he made for the label that were not released at the time were two that utilized the same rhythm track. He now feels that he was too young and naive to understand the sentiments of Luther Dixon's 'Oh Lord, What Are You Doing To Me', but Jerry made a fine and sensitive job of singing the song and it's difficult to see why it was passed over for issue. Always up for a bit of creative recycling, he took the track and wrote a completely new song entitled 'Your Man' to fit the melody. A planned Calla single that coupled it with 'Kiss Me' was cancelled at the last minute when he defected to Musicor. Jerry would later use the backing track of 'Kiss Me' to power 'Who Needs It (I Tell You I Do)', an unissued and now lost Cotillion recording. Dubbed from what sounds like a worn acetate, 'Your Man' would eventually see release in 1969 on 87-30, a short-lived label out of Miami. (It can be heard in considerably better fidelity, from the original tape, on "Blame It On the Dogg".) Jerry would use the track for a third time the following year when he cut veteran soulster Tommy Hunt on 'Your Man' for Dynamo Records. Dynamo was the R&B subsidiary of Musicor, Jerry's next stopover on the way to becoming Swamp Dogg. He produced a number of the label's acts including Hunt, Inez and Charlie Foxx and two men who would figure significantly in his own near future, Brooks O'Dell and Charlie Whitehead. For the main Musicor imprint he briefly turned Gene Pitney into a credible R&B act and recorded one single of his own, 'Run Run Roadrunner' c/w 'I'm In the Danger Zone'. Both sides utilized recycled backing tracks, the former reprising 'Baby Bunny' and the latter a further essay on 'Kiss Me'. Jerry also cut 'Roadrunner' on Gene Pitney, but it wasn't released on a single until the early 1970s, by which time Pitney was no longer on Musicor and Jerry Williams had mutated into Swamp Dogg. His skills as a producer brought Jerry to the attention of Atlantic, who signed him in 1968 to create hits on himself and other R&B acts on their roster, including the Drifters, an early incarnation of the Commodores and his own future collaborator and fellow Virginian, Gary Anderson aka Gary US Bonds. Jerry didn't stay with Atlantic for long, but he managed to issue two singles on its Cotillion subsidiary and to cut a bunch of unissued sides that remain lost somewhere in the Atlantic tape vault. You can hear one of those singles, 'Shipwrecked', on "Blame It On The Dogg". The other one is represented here by the funky 'It's Still Good', which was re-cut by Wilson Pickett in 1970 after Jerry had been shown the door at Atlantic by that other Jerry W, a certain Mr. Wexler. Had the two Jerrys rubbed along a little better than they did, it's entirely possible that what Jerry Williams did next might have ended up on Atlantic and set his career on a totally different curve of success. As it was, he started independently recording a concept album on Doris Willingham, an incredibly soulful girl from New Jersey who he would rename Doris Duke. He made the album in Macon, Georgia, sweetening it with soaring, melancholic strings arranged and conducted by Richard Rome in Philadelphia. Astonishing and soulful in the extreme, the album was rejected as "too depressing" by almost every label he pitched it to. Help was close to hand in the form of Wally Roker, an ex-doo wopper-turned label-owner who'd turned to producing when the bottom fell out of the doo wop market and had recently formed Canyon Records. Roker could hear exactly where the "I'm A Loser" album was coming from and was eager for anything else that its producer and co-writer had ready or in production. Exit Jerry Williams, Jr., enter Swamp Dogg, officially born in 1970 when Jerry took the finished master of his "Total Destruction To Your Mind" album to Roker. The LP had its origins in a session Jerry had cut on Jo Ann Bunn, a local Macon girl who in his words "sang like 40 canaries in rehearsal but froze in the session." Jerry wiped Bunn's vocals and overdubbed his own, the project growing from there. Impressed with what he heard, Roker asked who the artist was. Jerry said that, although it was him, he wanted to develop a new recording identity, to be called simply The Dogg. Wally Roker thought that this new artist should have two proper names rather than one and a definite article, and thus The Dogg expanded to Swamp Dogg. The album was finished and appeared, in a gatefold sleeve featuring underexposed and slightly out of focus shots of Canyon's new mystery man, in early 1970. Inside lurked one of the most iconic soul albums of its time, and all time. Recorded in Macon with the same musicians that had been the backbone of "I'm A Loser", "Total Destruction" offered a dazzling mix of original songs and covers that sounded like they were written especially with the album in mind. 40 years on, it remains the most played LP I have ever owned. Canyon was one of those great labels that came and went far too quickly (for reasons that need not be discussed here). The label racked up a bunch of hit singles in a little under a year before going underground, briefly resurfacing as a number of satellite logos such as RRG and Roker before grinding to a complete halt in late 1971. Three singles were released from "Total Destruction" - the first, a coruscating 12-bar blues entitled 'Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe', gave Swamp the first of only two R&B hits that he would score in his new guise when it peaked at #33 in May 1970. Swamp would subsequently be responsible for Canyon's penultimate 45 which coupled the album's title track with the gorgeous eco-friendly 'Synthetic World', heard here. Quickly covered by Jamaican singer-songwriter Jimmy Cliff (who almost had a UK hit with it) 'Synthetic World' shows a different aspect of Swamp to the one that explored the male-female relationship. A further side of his songwriting, 'I Was Born Blue' eloquently spoke of the social status of the American negro at that time, hiding true colors behind "why wasn't I born with orange skin and green hair like the rest of the people in the world?" This epic track was released as one side of the album's final single on Roker. (It can be heard on "Change Is Gonna Come" CDKEND 270.) By then the album was over a year old and the writing was on the wall for Roker's group of labels. Swamp, meanwhile, had already found his next deal and recorded most of his second album. "Total Destruction To Your Mind" established a release pattern for Swamp that would remain unchanged until he established his own Swamp Dogg Entertainment Group and SDEG imprint in the early 1980s. Albums would arrive at roughly yearly intervals, each with an accompanying single, and each on a different label to the previous one. If not exactly a discographer's nightmare, he was hardly making it easy for anyone wanting to chronicle his adventures on vinyl. After Canyon collapsed in late 1970, Swamp signed a deal with Elektra to release what might otherwise have been his second Canyon album, "Rat On" in June 1971. One of his strongest collections of songs, "Rat On" was prefaced in April by the single 'Creeping Away', a sly tale of long distance love with an infectious horn line and a two-stepping groove that ought to have made it a smash right out of the box. Sad to say, it wasn't anything of the kind. Although Elektra had a solid reputation for having signed and made stars of some of the best rock and folk acts of the 1960s, the label had virtually no track record at all in the world of black music and its pluggers really didn't know where to start with an album that showed a picture of a rotund, smiling black man sitting on a gigantic rat on its cover, or a single that had no promotional precedent in Elektra's catalogue. Being on Elektra, it's a fair bet that many unenlightened soul radio stations that received 'Creeping Away' tossed it straight in the bin, unplayed, under the impression that Swamp Dogg was probably a rock act, his name not exactly being of the household variety at that time. It wasn't a hit, no further singles were pulled from the album and Swamp was off the label by October: "They dropped me like I was a leper with terminal syphilis." Elektra might well have been more kindly disposed towards keeping Swamp if he hadn't also incorporated Mankind Records at more or less the same time as signing with them. A joint venture with Nashville's Excello Records, Mankind brought him greater success as a writer and producer in 1971 than he would ever achieve as a solo artist, thanks to the hits he created for Freddie North ('She's All I Got') and Z.Z. Hill ('Second Chance'), but Swamp fell out of love with Excello almost as quickly as he had with Elektra. While looking for his next deal, that November he issued the astounding vitriolic blues 'Straight From My Heart' (featuring Lonnie Mack on guitar) on his own Swamp Dogg Presents label. (The track and its flip, a of Joe South's 'Don't Throw Your Love To the Wind', can be found on "Blame It On The Dogg") Despite nationwide distribution of the single by Jamie-Guyden, Swamp's losing streak continued. Time to find yet another new recording home. Cream was a new and barely-established label when Swamp joined its roster in 1972. It had been founded by Al Bennett, who had been president of Liberty Records from its inception in 1955 until it merged with in 1965. After a short industry sabbatical, Bennett incorporated Cream in 1971, releasing some 20 singles and a handful of albums over an 18-month period before welcoming Swamp into the fold. Of those 20 singles, only 'Got To Find My Baby' by ex-Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band drummer/future studio legend had made even the barest impact of any kind of charts. With that kind of track record, the omens were not good for Swamp. On his previous album cover, Swamp had perched superimposed atop a rat. For "Cuffed, Collared & Tagged" he was photographed by the great South Africa-born lensman Norman Seeff - a terrific session that yielded enough usable material for Cream to use other shots from it on Swamp's late 70s disco album "Doing A Party Tonight". Inside was another tremendous collection of music recorded primarily at Sheffield, Alabama's Broadway Sound, Swamp's preferred studio of the early 1970s. It must have been difficult for Cream's A&R team to pick a single from its embarrassment of musical riches. In the end they plumped for Swamp's stark rendition of John Prine's 'Sam Stone', a song recorded by its author on his debut Atlantic album the previous year. This harrowing tale of a Vietnam veteran's inability to cope with the realities of his return to civilian life would have hit home with many black ex-soldiers who were themselves living the nightmare at that time. Perhaps they weren't ready for its reality check, as the single steadfastly refused to double Cream's hit tally. 'Sam Stone' is already available on two Ace CDs, so we have selected its charming flipside 'Knowing I'm Pleasing Me And You' to represent this period of Swamp's recording activity. Leaving Cream with little resistance on the company's part, Swamp's next home was another joint venture label that he started with backing and assistance from Miami music mogul Henry Stone. Veteran record man Stone was barely a year away from the biggest-selling soul 45 of 1974, George McCrae's '' and huge international success with a roster that included George's wife Gwen, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Betty Wright, funkmeisters Miami and countless others. Unfortunately for Swamp, he threw in his lot with Stone a little too early to benefit from the worldwide fame of "The Miami Sound" and the Stone Dogg label quickly became as much of a commercial failure as it was an artistic success. Swamp's first Stone Dogg album was "Gag A Maggot" so called because, as Swamp said in his ever idiosyncratic and funny sleeve notes, it was "so funky that it would gag a maggot". A cover that showed a dustbin full of food waste with a crumpled headshot of Swamp on top reinforced the message. Inside the music was great, Swamp using various permutations of Stone's regular musicians and assorted members of the Sunshine Band (who were often one and the same) to work some musical magic. The first single from it ought to have been a monster. With an unaccredited Steve Alaimo camping it up as the wife of the title and a rhythmic groove that was as funky as anything to ever emerge from the Sunshine State, 'Wife Sitter' was so right for the time and so deserving of at least a minor chart run, but once again the misses kept on coming. Swamp and Stone followed up with a pairing of two more of the album's stronger tracks, but 'Mighty Mighty Dollar Bill' and an edit of 'Choking To Death' didn't entice anyone to part with their money either. For this compilation we've chosen to go with the latter, because the single edit has never been on CD before (and because I prefer it). With the inevitability that was by now a hallmark of Swamp's career, he and Stone called it a day before the year was over. However, their relationship was not completely done and dusted. In 1976, Stone Dogg was briefly revived to release "Greatest Hits?", the album that Swamp would record next, in 1974, for a company that had made its name manufacturing the most popular male cologne of the 1970s. With its advertising slogan "take a big handful and splash it all over" Brut had become the must-have fragrance for men. The Brut company launched its label in 1973 with the hope that "the great smell of Brut" would be enough to entice people to part with money for 45s by a roster that included such diverse names as Brook Benton, , Wayne Fontana and , Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee and Tony Bennett. Swamp perhaps should have known better than to hitch his wagon to a label full of fading stars, none of whom managed a chart hit in the just over a year of its existence. Swamp may, in fact, have been the last act the label ever signed, his one single for the company being its penultimate release in March 1974. 'Buzzard Luck' was exactly what Swamp got in his dealings with record companies and the song's underlying message of "one day my ship will come in and I'll probably be at the airport" was undoubtedly written from personal experience. His luck showed no sign of improving as Brut closed its doors almost as soon as the 45 was issued, leaving an attendant album hanging in contractual limbo until Swamp was able to retrieve it in 1976 and release it as "Greatest Hits?". If he'd ever felt like giving up and going home, he'd probably never felt more like it than he did as 1974 wound to its conclusion. In 1975 things finally looked like they were going to take a turn for the better. On the back of gushing endorsements from various rock-oriented publications, Swamp found himself part of the roster of the newly established US branch of Island Records. Suddenly the future looked better and brighter. Swamp delivered the "Have You Heard This Story?" album, which got written up in glowing terms in all of the Rolling Stone/Creem-type journals and promptly confounded all of his and Island's expectations by not selling particularly well in any of its intended markets. Unlike Swamp's previous LPs, this one got a simultaneous global release, but the world's population chose largely to overlook the fact. Swamp's single from the album coupled 'I Wanna Lifetime Of Loving You' and one of his most brilliant songs, 'Did I Come Back To Soon (Or Did I Stay Away Too Long)', which he'd originally cut on Freddie North for Mankind in 1971. It's devastating denouement would have proven too risky for radio of the day - and I won't give it away in these notes in case there are some of you out there who have yet to hear it - so it wouldn't have stood any chance of A-side consideration. It appears here as a testament to the ingenuity of Swamp's very best songs and to his quest to break down the barriers of conventional black American music. Before 1975 drew to its end he was once again shopping for a new deal, although he'd left Island with a genuine hit to his credit: 'Love Being Your Fool', which he'd produced on his long-time collaborator Charlie "Raw Spitt" Whitehead. There were no Swamp Dogg singles issued in the USA during 1976, but he put out two albums: "Greatest Hits?" and another all new set that was originally scheduled as "It's A Bitch" but retitled "You Ain't Never Too Old To Boogie" at the eleventh hour to avoid confusion with Johnny "Guitar" Watson's hit LP "Ain't That A Bitch". Swamp's seventh longplayer in six years was picked up by a briefly revived Vee-Jay label in the USA and in the UK by DJM, who also had the Watson album in their catalogue. They were not able to do for Swamp what they had for Johnny - which, in essence, was to revive a career that had been fairly dormant for nearly a decade. Their choice of album title was not really appropriate to its overall content (even though it contained a song of that title) and gave the impression of it being more disco-oriented than it actually was. The lively 'The Other Man' was selected for single release by UK DJM. It also appeared throughout other territories as a 45, but not in the USA, where no singles were issued from the album. As the 70s moved on, his albums continued to come out on a regular basis and invariably on a different label. Swamp rekindled a relationship with a much changed Musicor label in 1977, expanding himself to a group, Swamp Dogg and Riders of the New Funk, and recording the "Finally Caught Up With Myself" LP in St Louis, Missouri with veteran R&B producer Oliver Sain. He made his first unqualified contribution to the disco boom with 'My Heart Just Can't Stop Dancing', issued on 7-inch and remixed 12-inch. For this compilation we have selected its excellent flipside 'Silly, Silly, Silly, Silly Me', a more typically Swamp song. After this, Swamp relocated to California, where he resides to this day, rekindling his relationship with Cream Records. The "Doing A Party Tonite" album, an almost 100% disco-aimed set, seems to have been released only in France. Swamp's choice of labels became increasingly eclectic as the 70s begat the 80s. He recorded a great album entitled "I'm Not Selling Out, I'm Buying In" for Takoma Records, a label better known for the work of guitarists such as and Leo Kottke than left-of-centre R&B. The album came and went and, like its predecessor, spawned no singles. Swamp's next LP was an eponymous set released in 1982 on Ala Records, a small Los Angeles-based concern. Within its frankly bizarre cover lurked two of the best songs he'd come up with in some time. Ala edited the six-minute medley of Swamp's 'Right Arm For Your Love' and 's classic 'For Your Love' into a three-minute single that utilized only Swamp's song, but they were unable to get a hit on it. Not long afterwards, Z.Z. Hill recorded the song on his debut Malaco album, which went on to sell a few million copies and inaugurate the new bluesoul sound. Malaco also put it on the other side of Z.Z.'s massive-selling 45 'Cheatin' In The Next Room'. Swamp probably made more off that one cut than he did off the entire Ala album. The other great song from "Swamp Dogg" started life on the album as 'Happy Birthday You Dog You'. By the time Swamp re-cut it for his own SDEG label in the late 80s for "I Called For A Rope And They Threw Me A Rock" it had become 'Happy Dog Day'. We've used that version here to close our collection, partly because it was released as a single while the earlier one wasn't and partly because it shows that the new synth-and-drum machine technology of the 1980s was never going to detract from the incisive, cynical, funny, pithy you-name-it-he's-got-it songwriting style of the man who would be Dogg. It was also one side of his last vinyl 45 to date, and thus an appropriate way to bring the curtain down on our Swamp singles survey. As his many fans will tell you, Swamp is as entertaining now as he was when he first sat down at a piano and banged out 'HTD Blues' as a 12 year-old in 1954. He still releases albums on a very regular basis, as he did all through the 1990s, mostly on his own label and occasionally accompanied by a CD single. Never content to let the musical grass grow under his feet, he's made country albums, soca albums, straight ahead blues albums and Swamp Dogg albums, all of which are avidly devoured by Dogg-lovers as soon as they are released. He's also made a concerted effort at touring regularly over the past decade, playing many of the great songs heard here and on his albums to audiences all over the world, but as Swamp Dogg himself would be the first to tell you, his life's work has not made him rich enough to retire, so it's both his and Kent's hope that you will invest in "It's All Good" and, if you enjoy it, tell a friend to invest too. Happy Dogg Day, everyone! TONY ROUNCE With thanks to Liz Buckley and Swamp Dogg

It should be easy to write about, since it's only chronicling my formative childhood years, when I first discovered that I definitely wanted a career in music right up to when I decided to become Swamp Dogg because the Little Jerry, The Little Jerry Williams, the Little Richard, the Little Milton, the Little Willie John, the Little Esther, the Little Sister, the Little Walter, the Little Eva, the Little Anthony, the Little Junior Parker, the Little Mac, the Little Joe Blue, the Little Willie Littlefield, the Little Caesar, the Little Junior, Little Nat, Little Beaver, etc., fuckin' etc., had become just a little too fuckin' much! Everybody was "Little". Six feet tall...two hundred and fifty pounds....little? To quote Les McCann, "compared to what"? The Jolly Green Giant, Goliath? We wore out the "littles" just like Chubby Checker wore out the "Do The's". Don't get me wrong....it was fun, but like anything else, once you mature and realize your potential and limitations you commence to reinvent yourself, your surroundings and your thinking. When I recorded "HTD Blues" in 54' at twelve years of age, I just wanted to sing and play every time I saw a piano. We brought this guy and his disc recorder in from Mechanicville, NY who put up a microphone and encouraged me to wail away; something for which I didn't need any prompting. My mother, Vera Cross on drums (still drumming and singing in Las Vegas), my step dad, Nat Cross on guitar, his brother Garfield on Bass and me on piano. If you listen closely you'll notice that I'm playing some of the same shit that you have heard on my Swamp Dogg albums. The fidelity of this particular recording is questionable at best because of the source...a bent up, peeling and dented metal acetate that had been played, sat on and run over. I applaud Sound Mastering Studios in the U.K., for the brilliant cedar job they did on this entire album but especially "HTD Blues". They performed a miracle!! Most of the tracks included on this collection are from vinyl on which Sound Mastering performed their abracadabra. The following is an abridged autobiography that I wrote for Soul Survivor magazine in 1985 [Volume 2 Issue 4, Winter 1985/86, pages 4-9] that browses my career from the dawn of 1954 to 1985. Whether you want it or not, some Swamp Dogg has to be included; so put on your rhythm 'n' blues loving gear and wade through this experience with me. Let's face it.....Swamp is only the alter ego/footman for Jerry Williams and a figment of your imagination. -- Swamp Dogg LINER NOTES [2]: Little Jerry Williams Anthology (1954-1969) Quiet...lights...curtain...Music. Little did I know when I decided to embark upon the usually glamorous endeavor of making music, my life's work, that it was going to take all my life to get some work. I remember my Mother's words as she watched me board a Greyhound bus for New York with tears in her eyes, "You got as much chance of being a star as the Hunchback of Notre Dame has of becoming Mr. America". I'm not claiming that I was great when I started out, but to impede my progress I've had fans burn my costumes with me still in them, force my car off the road while enroute to the gig, steal my music out of my home and boycott a major record label that said they would consider signing me in a few years - did I say fans?... Chances are you've never heard of me, but somebody is buying all of these goddam records. If you are not buying them then the only explanation is that Splizoids from the planet Burpto are disguising themselves as Swampniks (red hair, not hair, real tall, real short, no height whatsoever, flashy clothes, no clothes...you know the type), creeping in Towers, Peaches, Sam Goody's and other large record chains romancing Chapter 11, abstracting all the products...then homeward bound post-haste. Filch, fleece, grab, those people are notorious but they're on my side. They love Swamp Dogg records. I hear them periodically through the facilities of Channel 9 whenever they pre-empt Sermonettes. In 1954, I made record number one (also was the sales figure) entitled "HTD Blues" b/w "Nats Wailing". I was a "fill out, cut out and mail out the coupon" freak. That's how I landed my first label. Mechanic Records in Mechanicsville, N.Y., soliciting through Mechanical Illustrated Magazine. "Send me your tape and ? dollars (amount eludes me) and I'll make you some records - complete with LaVern Baker, Joe Turner, Platters, Kay Starr, Patti Page, Fats Domino etc....etc.." So off goes the money, my first two compositions and a tape with the performance of such family rhythm greats as Nat Cross (step-father) on guitar, Vera Cross (could have been a wonderful step-mother) on drums, Garfield Cross (step-uncle...climbing these steps can be tiresome) and yours truly on piano and vocals. The entire session was done on a Grundig Mono portable reel to reel owned by my musical (among other things) family. The records arrive (78rpm) - I've finally arrived! Now what the f... do I do with these things? Three record shops within a fifty mile radius. A distributor? What is that? Run to the radio station WRAP, and give a copy to Jack Holmes, a powerhouse in the industry at the time, and let him play the back of it.. So far this has all taken place in Portsmouth, Virginia, my 1942 birthplace. Jack played it immediately, announced me as "Little" Jerry which I stuck with for ten years, and mapped out my distribution route. "Consign Stewart's Record shop two-thirds of them (they were a chain, one in Portsmouth - one in Norfolk) and Frankie's Birdland (Frank Guida later to have Legrand of Gary U.S. Bonds fame) the other third. I'll make it a hit and guide your career". Time killer Jack obtained the maximum in local exposure for me: around the clock air saturation, interviews in the Journal & Guide, Afro American and personal appearances at Seaview Beach, Sunset Lake Park and Midway Park. I became the "time killer" for the hot record acts that appeared in these venues, giving me experience that money can't buy and friendships that are priceless, e.g. Sonny Til & Orioles, Margie Day, Pookie Hudson, Lloyd Price, Flamingos, etc. The next year gave birth to the enterprising rapaciousness of Jerry Williams, Jr. previously known as "Little Jerry". 1. Made four more recordings, this time in a Mono studio (Norfolk Recording Studio) with the same personnel with the exception of the drummer. 2. Mailed more money to Mechanicsville, N.Y. for the pressing of "Sweet Sue" b/w/ "Nat's Wailing" (needed a few more - popularity booming). 3. Contracted Our Lady of Victory Auditorium for every available Friday night during the school year for dance and show bookings. This was done relatively easily without deposits, etc., because I was Catholic, church organist, student in the school and a member of Christians for Christ or something similar. 4. Produced a T.V. show (Rock 'N' Roll Time) starring yours truly on WTOV channel 27. I must expound on this. The station was built by a gentleman who claimed to have the largest Pontiac dealership in the South, Starlite Automobiles. He needed programs to fill up the cracks between "pitches". Anyone with an iota of talent could get a show just for the asking and a brief audition. Oh no, nobody got paid! - unless you did what I did and I was the only one to do it. I got two sponsors (Atlas Tires and Community Bakery) for my show netting me $50.00 every Friday night. The show's format was Black Music when it was known as Rock 'N' Roll (what do you mean you thought and Dick Clark invented Rock'N'Roll?) with the appearance of local doo-wop groups from the high schools. Each week we were assured that damn near an entire high school student body and faculty were watching. I played piano and sang with the help of a drummer and guitar player every Friday night from ten to ten forty-five p.m. for one and a half years. 5. Became delivery 'boy' or should I say "person" for Washington Pharmacy conjuring up another twenty-five dollars a week. Two plays and a novel This was my "innocent-gluttony" period. Not bad either for nearing fourteen years old and clearing easily one hundred and fifty dollars a week gold. (Couldn't resist that. Poetic license.) Calling Jerry Williams, Jr., calling Jerry Williams Jr., this is the literary world. Will you give us a best-seller? The writing bug knows no boundaries. Within six weeks I wrote a book of poems (descriptiveness In Poems and Stuff), two plays and a novel. Genius you say? Sheer springtime lunacy! Here we go again : "fill you, cut out and mail out." Can you write? Are you the next Nick Kenny? Micky Spillane? Are Publishers avoiding you? We'll put an end to this. For one-hundred dollars, your money can also elude you. Write Vanity Press, (notice any similarity?) something, something, New York City. I was already involved with a Vanity Record manufacturer, so why stop now? Literary efforts in the mail, answers all positive but all answers needed money to escalate my career. After a period even I can detect Bullshit. One of my most hailed pieces of lunacy ("Summertime") read as follows, and I quote - "I pulled her closer to me, and I could feel her breath and she was breathing furiously. She laid her head on my shoulder and her breathing was more tense upon my neck. It sent chills up and down my spine. She raised her head and looked at me. Then she said, darling dear. At this time my eyes were on her lips"...Get the idea? My Mother found this little gem about six months ago and sent it to me Express Mail...tell you anything? It's late 1959. Jack Holmes calls Al Silvers, President of Herald/Ember Records, the well-oiled r'n'b machine behind Faye Adams, Nutmegs, Silhouettes, plus a host of other one and two hit-single flashes, and tells him that he must record this "boy" from Portsmouth, Virginia for one reason or another. For one reason or another Al agrees and I split to New York from Newark where I was appearing at Woody's Corner as Little Willie John and sometimes Larry Williams - well "Little" Jerry couldn't draw files, but he was a jukebox and Woody wanted to have his cake and eat it too. For a while we were most compatible. Al Silvers hooked me up with Dave "Baby" Cortez aka David Clowney, his "producer at large", listened to my material, rejected same and gave me an Isley Bros. Demo, "Don't You Feel" written by Bert Russell- Berns and "There Ain't Enough Love", which emerged as the "A" side. The record received pop/R'n'B play throughout Virginia and Maryland and garnered enough sales for me to headline a slew of sleazy-ass clubs and appear on the Buddy Dean T.V. show (Baltimore) and Kurt Webster's Dialing For Dollars in Norfolk. During this time my base was still New Jersey where I was playing occasional weekends at Jackson's Lounge as an organ single, the Cotton Club in Carteret as Don Covay and doing a "live" broadcast each Sunday afternoon from the Coleman Hotel as "Little" Jerry, Blues Shouter Unlimited. Peanuts! Eddie Kirkland, blues extraordinaire, was living across the hall from me in East Orange in a Coleman Brothers' rooming house. "There Ain't Enough Love", didn't bring in enough revenue and I'm starving to death and so is Eddie. We teamed up and made the rounds of all the joints, "sat in" hoping someone would give us a job. We also learned how to stay alive; we'd eat peanuts all day, every time we farted it looked like a Kansas City dust storm. In between peanuts we would go to restaurants, sit and read a menu and pour the coffee cream into a glass of water, add sugar and drink milk galore. Most restaurants kept bread and butter on the table. We'd wrap that up in handkerchiefs and take it back for hard times. Periodically Mrs. Tisdale, another roomer retired and on top of the mountain in my eyesight, would invite me to eat with her, but she wouldn't feed Eddie. She didn't trust him because he painted his head with shoe polish where he was receding. I'd slip him food anyway. It's early '61. I have an agent. First "gig": Colonial Hotel, Hagerstown, Md. As a piano/vocal lounge single. Three hundred a week, room, board and bar tab - Heaven! Only problem: I wasn't prepared to hold down a lounge playing requests and standards. I could sing the shit out of 'em, but I couldn't play them. After two days of "Shake, Rattle and Roll", Larry Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc., some Redd Foxx jokes (especially the one about Gene Autry and Champ-Pee-On), Red (manager) put my ass back on a bus for parts unknown. That was also the end of two agents, my first and my last. Seriously, I've never signed with another agent exclusively since. Virginia-bound, I worked jobs with some more Tidwater acts: The Showmen, Jimmy Soul, Ken Page & Pied Pipers, , etc. Bright idea! Form a "Little" Jerry Tour! During that time you needed a female singer, shake dancer, band, comedian and the headliner - me of course. First job: the Guys and Dolls Club in Fayettville, N.C. The show was a bust. We slept on the floor of the club at night and ate sardines for four days. The only way we got out of there to the next job was through the natural enterprises of our beloved shake dancer. She gave bed-time a new meaning. Stabbed Gorilla Next stop, Regal Theatre, Newport News, Virginia. I added a gorilla to the act (man in costume) and billed the show as "Little" Jerry's Midnight Ramble. Showtime: Midnight. Everyone in the aggregation showed up except the band. I went onstage with a drummer, a baritone sax and a gorilla. The stage resembled a picnic. The crowd threw bottles, lettuce, eggs - you name it! Being a trouper I ignored this, continued to belt the blues and sent the gorilla out into the audience to dance and scare the shit out of those heathens. Immediately upon descending into the audience the gorilla was thrown on the floor and stabbed, though not fatally. You haven't seen anything until you see a gorilla snatch off his head and run for help crying like a new born baby. With the Temptations Try New York again. Sign contract with Aldo Records. Sign with a manager (Mel Alberts, Cashbox Mogul). First release (only release), "Chapel On The Hill" under the production supervision of Matt Parsons (who still insists that NOSTRAP is his name spelled backwards). "Chapel" achieved #1 position throughout the Midwest and made me a regional Star in Cleveland, sharing top billing with the Temptations, Supremes, Theola Kilgore, etc. Mel, whose father wouldn't allow him to read a Cashbox much more assist in its operations, was booking me throughout Long Island, Brooklyn, and the Bronx with Ernie Martinellis's "Little Anthony". In addition Mel was cultivating my writing and production sensibilities. My first project was Marilyn Michaels, then managed by Carl Lebow. "Mama Don't Allow Rock 'N' Roll In Here" was going to be her launching pad but for some reason (ask Mel) after fifty rehearsals we dropped it or it dropped us...or whatever. While planning for a new record sessions Gerald Hille owner of Aldo was killed in a car wreck on his route home to Madison, N.J. Company defunct. Creative singing time - Archie Levinson's Academy Records as a "Black" Jerry Lee Lewis! Well, that's what they said...at least I was black. One out of two ain't bad. Also V-Tone Records in Philly, signed as a dance craze innovator to be topped only by Chubby Checker, Hank Ballard, Less Cooper and a trillion other rubber-leggers. The Academy released "Hum Baby" b/w "She's So Devine" was a step in the right direction being done by people with "No direction home, " - damn I did it again, a Dylanian slip. V-Tone, a Lenny Caldwell brainchild [compiler's note: actually Venton L. "Buddy" Caldwell], was very successful with Bobby Peterson. Released "Lets Do The Wooble Before Chubby Gets It" and achieved some top five chart positions on Philly's WIBC and enough others to glue together seventy-five to a hundred thousand sales. Lenny forgot to provide for royalty payments in his contracts, thus prompting me to seek another home. A vast amount of great things emerged from the relationship - e.g., a ten-year partnership with Richard Rome of a vast number of local productions and "gigs". Showbiz/Nobiz Making Philly my home from '61 through '64, I commuted to New York weekly and eventually was signed by Roulette by Sonny Lester who never recorded me, never acknowledge my presence on the label, never met with me after the signing and gave me a fifty-dollar-a-week draw for a year. When I requested a release it was done unconditionally on the immediate side. That's showbiz, in my case no biz. Sitting in a Manhattan bar, I met a heavy drinker who said he had a club in Long Island (Freddy's Salem Inn) and would like me to audition for him. Reluctantly I took the train out to Long Island, auditioned and landed a job with my trio, three nights a week, two hundred dollars a night. We (Al Lindo, Gene Evans and myself) stayed there eleven months. During that time we expanded to five nights and shared the bar. Freddy's became a miniature version of the Peppermint Lounge, carriage trade and all. Feeling my oats I quit to play a private New Year's Eve gig down the street for a thousand dollars. Never having had a "grand" at one time I promptly left and was unable to return and was soon back on the road to starvation; proving the adage, "a bird in the hand is worth a thousand dollars in the bush". 1964, knocked on Frank Slay's door, who was enjoying production, publishing and writing successes with Billy & Lillie, Freddie Cannon, Four Seasons, Diane Renay and a bevy of other pop-oriented acts. Played him some material. He loved it all and signed me to an immediate record contract. We enter the studio and record the self-penned, "I'm The Lover Man" b/w "The Push Push Push". "Lover Man" is released on Southern Sound Records in September and October finds it bulleting on the Pop Record Business Charts at #84 the first week. (Record Business was the forerunner for Record World Magazine). During the time between recording and release I moved my wife and four daughters back to Portsmouth, Virginia where I was immediately scooped-up and thrown in the Army (Ft. Jackson, S.C. October 1, 1964) as a draft dodger. I never registered for the draft and due to the fact that I married so early I didn't fathom the need. Finally got a "big one" and I'm in the Army. Through some careful maneuvering, my wife (Yvonne) got me out on a Hardship Discharge October 8, 1964. I resumed my budding career. The record moved so rapidly that Bob Krasnow, then head of Warner Bros's new Loma label, purchased the master and carried it a few steps further. I'm now touring with Chuck Berry, Strangeloves and Sgt. Barry Sadler. It's 1965 and next record time. Frank has two of the worst pieces of shit (he later admits) I'd ever exposed my ears to: "Detroit", a rip off the Motown Sound and "1965 Kingsize Nicotine Blues". I rebelled, screamed, argued, but to no avail. "Either you cut these or cut nothing". I cut them both. Loma didn't want it to so it appeared on Southern Sound Records. Frank shipped Gold and it came back Platinum. A smash in Detroit, and large in Miami I proposed a different situation to Frank: "I'll cut the next record with my money. If you like it reimburse me. If not release me". Okay! I cut "Baby You're My Everything". Frank rejected it. I sold it to Calla Records. The first week of release Kal Rudman wrote in his R&B Beat - Where It's At, "Baby You're My Everything". Jerry Williams, Calla is over 30,0000 in N.Y.C., Top 10 in Cleveland, a smash in Detroit, and large in Miami, Atlanta (WQXI), and Chicago...I rest my case. Frank Slay and I have remained top-notch friends in spite of this. To be short he's one of the biggest men I know in the record industry - I can talk short - I'm 5'5", Frank is 5'6". Due to this success I played Tommy Small's Xmas ('65) Show with Inez & Charlie Foxx, co-headlined with Jackie Wilson (Brooklyn Brevart), toured in all venues. Some minor chart records followed. I fell in love with Miami, relocated my family, commenced to starve to death again and wound up making boxes in a factory while Yvonne worked at the phone company as an operator. Hooked up in mid-66 with disc jockey, now turned comedian, who started booking me throughout the Everglades. This was short-lived because of his inability to prod himself to pay and his desire to book acts as somebody else and not let them know until showtime. By this time I took to booking myself again. Travelled through Georgia with Roscoe Robinson, Lloyd Price and the Marvelettes at different intervals. Macon Jail Ran into Otis Redding who was going to take me on tour with him after his trip to Europe. Landed in jail with the entire band in Macon, Georgia because Otis inadvertently forgot to make arrangements for our Holiday Inn bill before leaving for Europe. This time I had a band and a Magician with an electric chair. B.B. Bemon advanced us the money to get out because his club was our next date outside Atlanta. Thank-you B.B. Otis, I understand and love you. Penal institutions were becoming my second home. In Charlotte, N.C., the Hi-Fi Country Club, our next job, we were arrested soon after checking into the hotel. It was a case of mistaken identity, but that didn't ease the pain of the bruises we received from the constable who assumed us guilty without question. To add fuel to the fire the jock that booked us decided that we had received too much adverse publicity and wanted to cancel the show. Now I am going to jail for something I've done for a change - kicking ass all over Charlotte. (As I write this I'm getting mad, a dirty big head bitch!! Oh Well...) Back in Miami, I sent for U.S. Bonds to come down and "let's think of something". We booked shows in Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and the surrounding areas and made some "get the hell back to New York money". Made a pact with Art Talmadge (Musicor Records) as an artists, producer, writer and anything else he could think of for a grand slam of $100 per week before deductions. While there I co-produced the Toys, Exciters, and Tommy Hunt with Stanley Kahn aka Bob Elgin who made my hair fall out from the side in patches. (Well it grew back and Stanley and I became good buddies). While waiting for my hair to grow back, I produced hits for Inez & Charlie Foxx ("Count The Days") and Gene Pitney ("She's A Heartbreaker"). The latter I was fired for doing. I took Gene out of his bag. My contention is if you haven't had a hit in a while, your bag's got a leak somewhere. So it's over... Botanic Records What now? Standing in the latrine at 1650 Broadway..."Don Gardner, my man, what's happening? Where are you? What are you doing?" "I'm helping a friend of mine set up a company down the hall called Botanic Records." "Well introduce me. I'm in between situations". I was given the A&R position that night. Three weeks later I was Vice-President and a stock-holder. Signed Gary U.S. Bonds immediately and cut a record, "I'm Glad Your Back". Repeated this with Little Charles & Sidewinders. Botanic expanded very rapidly and went out of business the same way. The principals weren't in tune with the record industry and made a ton of bad decisions. Nine months later another one bites the dust. The "Undesireds" Sitting near the stern, watching Botanic experience the Titanic's fate, I called Henry Allen (Atlantic) and made an artist-producer pact. My first assignment was to go over a roster of undesired Atlantic artists and decide whether to release them or record them. Among the alumni headed for the "block" was the Commodores (untried, unproven and never recorded), Patti Labelle & Bluebells, C & Shells (formerly Sandpebbles) and the Drifters. I elected to record them all because I believed in them and while waiting on their decision in reference to my decision, I signed U.S. Bonds to Atco. I was given the "go sign on the above projects" and attained chart positions on C & Shells with "You Are The Circus" and "Good Morning Sunshine". The other acts did not see the light of day as far as charts were concerned. Nevertheless, I'm as proud of the productions I did for Atlantic as I will always be of my family. I was the square peg struggling to fit in the round hole. I've now reached the realization that I can't and won't work for anyone else in the record industry in any capacity. I'm too much of a Maverick. I want to experiment. I want to give the public their money's worth. I must have my own organization. Phil Walden was building a studio in Macon, GA. I called him and proposed a 75/25 partnership in my new production company. His contribution - studio and rhythm section. We agreed. The first act was Tommy for whom I made a deal with Capitol. It was never released because it couldn't be pigeon-holed. It was the forerunner for Pop/Gospel Andrae Crouch type Lps. 1969 was a little early for such an innovative project. Next came the Doris Duke Lp. I damn near lost my everything with this one. It was a Woman's album; men found it depressing. I walked the streets of New York for six months trying to give it away, then on to L.A. I totally believed in this concept, until I walked into Wally Rocker's Canyon records. He played it once and said, "It's a bitch, I got to have it." I damn near paid him. First release, "To The Other Woman (I'm The Other Woman)". The rest is history made of gold. Total Destruction To Your Mind The next project was on a Macon, Georgia girl, JoAnn Bunn, who sang like forty canaries in rehearsal but froze in the studio. I salvaged her two tracks by overdubbing my voice. Immediately after I flew back to Los Angeles to make a deal. On the plane I'm thinking, "I don't want to be Jerry Williams, "Little" Jerry or any of those Jackie Wilson, Ben E. King prototypes anymore. I want to sing about women, politics, screwing, television, syphilis and anything else I feel is pertinent and I want a name that will shock and be remembered." I decided to call myself The Dogg. Upon presentation of the two sides to Wally Rocker he asked "who's the artist?" I answered, "Dogg". "What kind of Dogg?" he asked. "He needs a first name," I assured him that by the time I completed the album the name would also be complete. To complete the album I returned to Macon where the rhythm section branded my album as Swamp Music, likened to White, etc. That's it!! Swamp Dogg! "Total Destruction To Your Mind", was the album - over a million sales to date worldwide, not counting the bootlegs. By the way, if you listen to "Everything You'll Ever Need" and "If I Die Tomorrow I've Lived Tonight", you can hear JoAnn Bunn's voice faintly where it leaked through the piano track to live on forever. [Note: in Swamp Dogg's February 24, 2008 Right Track Soul Show interview he further explained that, at the prompting of Macon disc jockey Hamp Swain, he had recorded these two songs for a single by JoAnn Bunn. After the recording Swain informed Swamp that Joann confessed to being 13 years old, pregnant and wanting to raise a family instead of pursuing a singing career. Thus Swamp recorded over her vocals, though they still leaked through on the finished product.] Everything that Elektra didn't want Canyon went down the drain and Elektra wanted Swamp Dogg. With my partner-attorney Robert Fitzpatrick we made the Elektra deal with loads of hoopla but enjoyed only moderate success. I turned out to be everything that Elektra didn't want - Anti-War, Pro-Black, Peace movement participant and very candid. As if this was not enough I designed the album cover with me mounted on the back of a smiling white rat, symbolizing the Black Man getting a ride for a change and called it "Rat On". I was also sued by the Irving Berlin Foundation for writing "God Bless America For What". I definitely was not winning any popularity contest there. Fitzpatrick and I flew to Nashville and negotiated the Mankind Record deal with Nashboro. This was an immediate success. I hired the best Promo people, moved the productions to Broadway Sound in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, signed Z.Z. Hill, Freddie North and Doris Duke, and sold several million records, e.g. Freddie North, "She's All I Got", Z.Z. Hill, "Second Chance". In 1972 I met a man I'll never forget, Wayne Bennett (Cream Records) and a multi album pact. Elektra had dropped me like I was a leper with terminal syphilis. The Cream album was "Cuffed Collared And Tagged" and it gave birth to the "Sam Stone" single that took the FM Underground Market by storm. A short tour followed then I returned to my first loves, writing and producing for other artists. As I was gathering material for my next Cream album I discovered that they had quietly slipped out of the business into the night. Oh Well.... Immediately I made a pact with George Barriers Brat Records who closed their doors before my album's release. So much for that!! Heart attack! Allowing no grass to grow under my feet I huddled with Henry Stone and formed the stone Dogg label and recorded the "Gag A Maggot" and the "Greatest Hits" albums. Following this came a much needed hiatus, because I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Suffering from an identity problem, I developed acute anxiety that manifested itself via paranoia, hypertension and heart palpitations that led my doctor to believe I'd suffered a heart attack. The funky part of the situation came when Yvonne and I commenced to doubt the diagnosis, checked it out and found it to be erroneous. Nevertheless, my doctor refused to change his diagnosis. Lots of mental changes came down but through a top-notch shrink and Yvonne, I finally overcame; although it took about four years. Plotting my entrance into disco I called Chris Blackwell, President of Island Records, told him about my last few years and asked for a contract with the first album delivered to be about my past and present mental problems. He agreed. The results were the "Have You Heard This Story" Lp which was excellent, nevertheless depressing and worst of all, released during the height of the Disco craze. This seemed to be the opportune time to go on Sabbatical - to enjoy, enlighten and enrich myself. I also was plotting my entrance into disco with what I considered meaningful lyrics and music. Also on the itinerary was a new baby. Hoping for the first boy, I was gifted with my fifth girl, Jeri Yvonne Williams (3/10/76). I took a year to watch and aid her every minute of her child-life, in becoming a woman of substance. I was plagued with X amount of guilt because Yvonne had done the job previously while I plotted for the Gold at the end of the rainbow. Having travelled the World several times since 1970, arranging label deals, producing records and affiliating with new publishers, my decision was to cultivate all of the foreign markets, while waiting for disco's demise or whatever. I took Jeri with me and she proved to be the best good luck charm, conversation topic and goo goo companion that I could ever wish for. Offices (European Video-Audio Communications Development Ltd/Euro Mr. Dogg/Nippon Mr. Dogg) were set up in London (Hammersmith) using a skeleton staff and deals were made with Victor (Japan), Pana (Italy), Autobahn (Germany), Charly (U.K.), Flash (South Africa), Planet (Scandinavia) and many, many more. My concentration was on their musical needs and demands. To date my foreign accomplishments include the release of over fifty albums, with over half "cracking their nut". An excellent album... In 1977 at the request of Wayne Bennett (Cream Records), the man whom I'm totally indebted to for life because of his loving and unselfish attitude, I relocated to the outskirts of Los Angeles - Chatsworth, Ca., and re-signed with him. An excellent album was produced but he was murdered soon after, causing me to make a Cream exit decision; as I'm sure he would have wanted. To dwell on the negativisms that ran rampant through Cream after his demise would be quite unfair to his memory, therefore I am refraining from prolonged dialogue. Next I signed with Takoma Records, a Chrysalis brainchild, and released the album, "I'm Not Selling Out I'm Buying In". I also tried syndicating a radio show (Swamp Dogg's West Coast Hot Line). Meanwhile I wanted to publish my own cookbook ("The Cookbook That Was Heard Around The World"). Unfortunately, Takoma went the way of silent movies, the cookbook is still unpublished and the radio show became too costly and time consuming. Shit in the tower It is now October '85. What happened between '82 and '84 is the same ol' dogg dung: some record releases and problems with ATV and BMI (not mention my RCA and BMW). Rode home on the 'B' side of Z.Z. Hill's "Cheating In The Next Room" as writer and publisher. Paid some bills. Bought a thirty-eight thousand dollar home for two-hundred and sixty-eight thousand. Only in America - no, make that only in California. I need the shit shoveled from around my brain just like everyone else out here. But I do have one edge and that is I'm cognizant of shit in the tower. Purchasing a radio station, touring Brazil (11/85) signing new acts, writing fresh material, looking younger, getting smaller, refusing to be mental and loving life like I've never loved it before. Additional Notes: "I Love You Yvonne" is the same song as "Yvonne". "If You Ask Me (Because I Love You)" appears to be the 1973 Calla reissue version which contains a 23-second instrumental break at 1:46-2:09, unlike the original 1966 version which has a 15-second instrumental break at this point in the song.

Additional Notes: "Elektra was a lily-white company," Swamp continues. "They had one black artist [the Voices Of East Harlem] at the time. They got rid of them when I came. But now, there was also a thing where I was kinda militant, and I was asking questions about how come there ain't no blacks working here. I was just really too deep into their shit. A lot of shit that, quote-unquote, just wasn't none of my motherfuckin' business. But I was makin' it my business. Then, when I decided to go on tour with Jane Fonda and her Free The Army revue, they really went off." [Roctober no.28 (Summer 2000), page 61, phone interview with James Porter]; see: http://www.roctober.com/roctober/contact.html In a February 2013 issue of Mojo, in which the 2013 reissue of the LP is reviewed ("The Beast In Me" by Andrew Male), Swamp further explains, "FM stations were playing the hell out of Swamp Dogg. It was me, Jefferson Airplane, Van Morrison, Taj Mahal. I was selling product. Elektra got interested. ... Look at the rat's face. He's smilin'. The black man is finally gettin' his chance, and the white man, which is the rat, is all right with this. He's thinking, 'It is what it is, and this nigger's gonna fall off anyway.'" The article further explains some of the controversy surrounding the song "God Bless America (For What?)" in that when Elektra pressed up the albums they left off the "For What?". 2013 reissue promo: http://soundcloud.com/alivenaturalsound/swamp-dogg-jingle-for-rat-on Digitally remastered on-demand CD-R version released February 2014 by Essential Media Group.

Reinventing Swamp Dogg was a necessity, although I'm the first to agree that Swamp Dogg is one of the best rock 'n' rollers/rhythm 'n' bluesers ever born. Nevertheless, there comes a time when nobody gives a fuck! I thank God that I love about forty (...maybe more) different types of music and can easily handle twenty of them vocalizing on a production and arranging level. After conceiving and giving birth to Swamp Dogg via a c-section...that's the key of c, a gratifying amount of success was realized and enjoyed via record sales and personal appearances, but the time has come for a change because I have used every musical arrangement known to man putting new spins on some of the same o' shit! Twenty albums later...I'm fresh again and I'm ready to take on the world...this time using calypso music as a warm blanket and the backdrop to vocalize about the world, politics, pain, crack, religion, love, blind people, atheist, one legged tap dancers and all other madness that I deem necessary to write/speak about when it invades my id. Every time I get ready to produce a Swamp album, I try to record a track that will have some retail appeal to at least one group of people in the states and usually I miss every one of them by a country mile and they latch on to something else that I would not have liked. Well this time, I'm shooting for the entire Caribbean and Europe, thus deleting all pandering to my U.S. supporters, but...... I'm hoping that they'll also appreciate the musical stand that I'm taking. This entire trip had to be authentic. With that in mind, Yvonne and I packed our shit and headed off to Trinidad, a place where I have been a star in the true sense of the word since 1971. With the assistance of Trinidad's most illustrious producer, arranger, bandleader and songwriter, Pelham Goddard, this recurring dream became a reality. Pelham played keyboard for me in '72 when I performed in Trinidad at Perseverance, which later became known as the Caribbean Woodstock. Upon my return for another concert (...which by the way was sold the fuck out!!!) in November of 99'. Pelham (...again the bandleader) and I discussed the possibility of me returning shortly to do this album. He worked out all of the loop holes and potential problems and summoned me to come on down! His career commenced in 1967 as the organist with the Petere De Vlugt Orchestra. He has produced and arranged for almost every major and start up act in Trinidad, e.g., Mighty Sparrow, Lord Kitchener, Machel Montano, Duke, Baron, Singing Francine, Calypso Rose, Charlie's Roots, Black Stalin, Gypsy, David Rudder, Iwer George, Super Blue, Mighty Trini, 3rd World Steel Band, StarliftSteel Band, Exodus Steel Orchestra, etc., etc. Pelham has the distinction of producing the most road marches in the calypso art form and I'm damn safe in saying that he has more accomplishments than any other arranger/producer in Trinidad and most of the Caribbean. If I'm wrong...prove it and sue me!!! "Banquet of the finest sounds" Anyway...if I sound like I'm the president of the Pelham Goddard fan club, that was my intention. I never thought I'd use pan drums (...Trinidadians get bent out of shape when you refer to them as steel drums) on any records, mainly because they usually sounded loud, ugly and without purpose. This attitude came to a halt when John Gill took Yvonne and I to the pan yards.....my ears were treated to a banquet of the finest sounds and music I've ever heard in my life. I fell in love with it and immediately wanted it and made a place for it on this album. Luckily I was able to obtain the playing genius of the world's number one pan player, Len "Boogsie" Sharpe, who appears on three cuts. Oh yeah! He'll be on many more tracks of the next Dogg album. Phase II Pan Groove Len "Boogsie" Sharpe is a source of folk lore. Stories are told of his first public appearance at six years old, when he had to stand on a chair to reach the drums. He played "American Patrol" better than any adult and was lovingly mobbed. After playing with the top steel band orchestras he formed his own Phase II Pan Groove so that he could experience more innovation and be more innovated and creative. He was the first to compose music for the steel pan while everyone else was adapting the same old songs and arrangements. His pioneering work in the area of composing pan music was complimented by musical arrangements that established fresh paradigms in the orchestration of steel band music. The world took notice in 1987 when his original composition, "This Feeling Nice" won the Steelband Panorama Competitions. Lightning struck again the following year when he won again with another original composition. "Woman Is Boss". Wynton Marsalis is just one of the many prestigious musicians throughout the world who acknowledges "Boogsie" as a genius and a musician's musician whose skills are unsurpassable. I'm surrounded by genius in this album!!! Excellent musicians Some of the most excellent musicians I've ever worked with in my life, helped to make this recording great. As you listen to Vonrick Maynard, classical guitarist turned drummer, you'll hear more different rhythms in one song than you usually hear played on an entire album. His playing is a culmination of licks and grooves that he burned into his brain while touring and studying throughout Guyana, New York, Japan, Canada, Europe and Scandinavia as well as Trinidad. Being one of Trinidad's best, it's only natural that he played on six of Lord Kitchener's albums. Check Vonrick out on track two ("...19 Year Old..."), especially the musical vamp after I shut my fucking mouth. He's playing some licks in which it sounds as though there are two drummers. A kick ass bass player This guy is awesome! A kick ass bass player, who is in the same category as , Robert Popwell (my discovery), Duke Jobe, Vince Jefferson and Gerald Jermott, just to name a few...... ladies and gentlemen, Albert Bushe, Jr. This man entered the music business as an accomplished flutist who won competition after competition throughout Trinidad. Believe it or not...he plays better flute than he does bass and I've got him on my album. You are going to want to hear more of Albert's masterstrokes after you've played this album in excess of a thousand times the first week of purchasing it.....so....stick your ears into some cd's/vinyl by Charlie's Roots of whom he happens to be the band leader, the Calypso All Stars, the Deltones, Rapid Response and Mungal Partessar & Panta. You'll experience some bass playing that some of the aforementioned bass master legends would marvel over. You must bare in mind that in calypso, you can't get any bigger than Lord Kitchener, Mighty Sparrow, David Rudder and Pretender...and Albert has recorded and played with all of them plus...., Swallow, Duke...I just had to throw them in to further elaborate on this man's credibility. Tony Voison, other than his name is close to poison; something he happens to be on guitar, I can't tell you a damn thing other than what is evident on this recording. Listen to "Y-V-O-N-N-E" and you'll hear him playing some unheard of licks and double counter rhythms against himself that locks the track and acts as a motor to keep it driving. On every track, he creates something unique and different, never playing the same lick twice. I defy you to find repeated licks on other tracks in my album by this man. He's got more ideas than a two dollar hooker has clients. Although he talks all of the time and I asked him for a biography about twenty times, which I never got, all I know is he's among the greatest guitarist in the world, a bachelor, has a beautiful smile, will give you one hundred percent at any and all times and can only be contacted by pager. Maybe he's hiding from the police and don't want any recognition...well if that's the case, he best stop playing so good because he's too good to go unrecognized. In the Background... Background singers...... I've worked with the greatest including the Sweet Inspirations with Whitney Houston, Dianna Reeves, Hodges-James & Smith, etc., but none of them can tower the combined efforts of Natalie Yorke and Carol Jacobs. These two ladies sound like an entire glee club. They are truly the fastest and best I've worked with to date. I also asked them for biographies but I guess they're hiding from someone also. Anyway, ladies you are great. Anyone who has listened to my albums know that I very seldom employ background singers and it's because they get in my way. Carol and Natalie did not. I wanted to use them more but I just hadn't made provisions, but I will the next time. Oh, by the way...Carol has a album release that is great, entitled "Family" on the JW Productions Record label and produced by David Rudder. Get it, if you don't like it I'll give you part (??) of your money back. I feel safe in saying this because it's damn good. Horns are my babies.....I love 'em. This horn section was made up of David Phillips (saxophone), Clyde "Mitch" Mitchell (trumpet), Patrick Spicer (trombone) and Joel Bonaparte (trumpet)...hereinafter to be known throughout the world as the S.D.P.G.T. Horns (Swamp Dogg Pelham Goddard Trinidad Horns). David is a cop, Mitch was a cop, Joel is a twenty year army man and Patrick was a soldier and I think is presently a cop. I bet they'll never get called to play on a session with Sly Stone or . These excellent horn men have all played and recorded with Lord Kitchener, Sparrow and The Roy Cape All Stars. Patrick was with Kalyan when there were on MCA and had the hit "Can You Love Me". I must be the only person in the world who has not played with Charlie's Roots or The Roy Cape All Stars. I'm going to call my mother in the morning because I think she played with them also. Same sign Neil Bernard.....Neil Bernard....engineer extraordinaire. I got to give him a little slack because we're the same astrological sign...That moody, gloomy, sometimey, what the hell is wrong with you, cancer! Neil took time at three and four in the morning to take us to our hotel...now that could have been because he loved Swamp Dogg or just maybe because a certain young lady was on the desk at these times. Oh yes, he's definitely the Trini lover. Nevertheless, over and above his overactive libido, you won't find another engineer within a thousand miles who can out mix or out track him, unless he's eating. Then that's another story. Neil took Yvonne and I to a Chinese restaurant that wouldn't let us in because we were wearing shorts. They have a dress code. Okay, fine...so we were directed to the take out area where I saw two roaches the size of small dogs strolling up the wall. A little outraged, I asked the manager, "why don't you make those roaches put on a tie and long pants because they're goddamn sure leaded up to the dining room?" As we were leaving with our food she said, "I put those roaches in your carton...extra meat, no charge"...and laughed her big ass off! What's my point? Let Neil record your session, but don't ever let him pick the eatery. Many thanks I wanted to come into the 21st century with a fresh contribution and this album is definitely 21st century worthy. I wanted to thank as many people as I can who have made my world a better place to be either via love, friendship or showing me how to cope with aggravation. These names are not in any particular order of importance and a couple of them should have been excluded, but what the fuck. Naturally, I thank God. A shithead knows he needs to give thanks to God, if only for just allowing him to be a living shithead. My thanks to my wonderful, beautiful and loving wife, Yvonne, without whom....I'd be worm food. Thanks to the love of my last daughter Jeri, who will soon be a neurosurgeon and will be clocking the big dollars. I prayed for her and God gave her to me...I love you more than life itself. My daughters Antoinette and Desiree whom I love dearly and wish them the best of everything, forever. My Grandson, Bernard Jerry Williams, who's going to be a pro basketball player and bring in more large bucks. He has always been a good boy and a gentleman. I love you Bernie! Victoria...my pride and joy of a granddaughter, who makes me laugh, cry with happiness and wake up every morning because I know she needs me. Nine years old and don't need nobody...quiet as it's kept, she needs everybody. Little Lauren, the grandson that was born fully grown. We already know that this five year old is an aspiring dentist because he's already knocked out two of his mama's teeth. I love you Lauren and remember to go easy on granddaddy. Love to my mother, Vera...Thanks for giving birth to me and continuing to remain in my life. I deliberately left out two of my over thirty daughters, who have decided to be ass holes, but I still love em'. God bless em' and keep them and hopefully they'll become adults before they're my age.

P. 2007 S.D.E.G. Records. Barcode 722247-1955-23. Additional Notes: Released March 2007. The CD contains a Parental Advisory / Explicit Content notice. The booklet/insert contains the lyrics to "Resurrection", Jerry Williams and Beverly Green, published by Jerry Williams Music (BMI). The back insert of promotional copies has the following songs in bold white print: "In Time Of War Who Wins", "They Crowned An Idiot King", "Since I Fell For You", and "Resurrection". The booklet/insert contains two written pieces, "Life Without Black People" and "Texas Lexus": Life Without Black People A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people, immigrants and transplants who were fed up with African-Americans, so they joined together and wished them away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a Twilight Zone where there is an America without black people. At first these people breathed a sigh of relief. At last, they said, no more crime, drugs, violence, and welfare. All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The "New America" is not America at all-- only a barren land. 1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation was built on a slave-supported system. 2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mils, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it, one finds great difficulty reaching higher floors. 3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gearshift. Joseph Gambol, also black, invented the super charge system for internal combustion engines, and Garrett A. Morgan, a black man, invented the traffic signals. 4. Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system because its predecessor was the electric trolley, which was invented by another black man, Albert R. Robinson. 5. Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an African American, Charles Brooks invented the street sweeper. 6. There were few if any newspapers, magazines and books because John Love invented the pencil sharpener. William Purveys invented the fountain pen and Lee Barrage invented the type writing machine and W. A. Love invented the advanced printing press. They were all, you guessed it, black. 7. Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and books, they would not have been transported by mail because William Barry invented the postmarking and canceling machine, William Purveys invented the hand stamp and Philip Downing invented the letter drop. 8. The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented the lawn sprinkler and John Burr the lawn mower. 9. When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly ventilated and poorly heated. Frederick Jones invented the air conditioner and Alice Parker the heating furnace. Their homes were also dim, but of course, Lewis Latimer invented the electric lamp, Michael Harvey invented the lantern and Granville T. Woods invented the automatic cut off switch. Their homes were also filthy because Thomas W. Stewart invented the mop & Lloyd P. Ray the dust pan. 10. Their children met them at the door-barefooted, shabby, motley and unkempt. But what could one expect? Jan E. Matzelinger invented the shoe lasting machine. Walter Sammons invented the comb, Sarah Boone invented the ironing board and George T. Sampson invented the clothes dryer. 11. They were resigned to at least have dinner amidst all of this turmoil nevertheless, the food had spoiled because another black man, John Standard invented the refrigerator. 12. There weren't any computers or cell phones because Otis Boykins invented the electronic control device for guided missiles, IBM computers and the pacemaker. 13. People were walking around sightless because Dr. Patricia E. Bath invented a method of eye surgery that has helped many blind people to see. 14. There were fewer people alive because Dr. Charles Richard Drew developed the blood transfusion process, discovered blood plasma and created two of the world's largest blood banks. Irony here...Dr. Drew died at age 45 on March 31, 1950, after falling asleep while driving to Tuskegee Institute to attend a medical meeting. He was denied a blood transfusion, at a segregated hospital in Burlington, because the few beds that were designated for black patients were full, therefore he "couldn't be treated" and was allowed to bleed to death. 15. Heart disease was always fatal because Dr. Daniel Hale Williams performed the first open heart surgery and was the first surgeon to open the chest cavity successfully without the patient dying from infection. Now, isn't that something? What would this country be like without the contributions of African Americans? Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "By the time we leave for work, Americans have depended on many inventions conceived by the minds of African Americans." Black history includes more than just slavery, Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Dubois.

Texas Lexus I bought a new Lexus 350 and returned to the dealer with it the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated. "Nelson," the salesman said to the radio. The radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?" "Willie!" he continued and "On The Road Again" came from the speakers. Then he said, "!" and in an instant "Georgia On My Mind" replaced . I drove away happy and for the next few days every time I'd say, "Beethoven" I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, "Beatles" I'd get one of their awesome songs. Yesterday a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car. But I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "Ass Holes!"... Immediately the American national anthem began to play sung by Condoleezza Rice and Barbara Bush, backed up by Bill 'Reilly and the Fox news crew. Dick Chaney on guitar. Scooter Libby on drums. William Crystol on harmonica. Duke Cunningham on tambourine. Douglas Feith on spoons. Don Rumsfeld on sax and George Bush on scotch. Damn, I love this car! --Author: Anonymous Digitally remastered on-demand CD-R version released February 2014 by Essential Media Group.

Liner Notes: In three thousand words or more...I love this album and feel that it's my best work to date because-- Incentive remained prevalent via somebody else wanting birth to be given to this project other than my wife, GMAC, Pinnacle Estate Properties, Pacific Bell, Montclair Prep, Mastercard, and my "always out of work" brother-in-law. Who might this warped person be that feels the necessity to unleash another ten tracks of Dogg? Phil Jones!! Let he who can live without Swamp Dogg cast the first stone upon his dam self. This project took five months where the past LPs took five weeks...five days...and in one instance, fifty- five minutes. Since my last album 'I Called for a Rope and They Threw Me a Rock' (a little plug there for catalog purposes...), Jim Bakker has declined a release from prison for fear of permanent separation from his in- house lover whom he blackmailed into committing sexual acts / a bald Elvis was spotted in Flint, Michigan operating a 7-11 (I'm sure he owns it) / Saddam Hussein gave a victory speech to a crowd of three screaming idiots / Ruth Gideon, the oldest campfire girl in the world, turned ninety / a UFO research team found a health and fitness manual belonging to aliens that listed among the health tips that for cancer you should sleep until cured and for obesity boost your salt intake while eating more white and green meat / it was discovered that you can't get pregnant if you have sex standing up and you can't get pregnant the first time / James Brown was released from prison, given sainthood, and is being groomed to be the next Pope / it was discovered that an eight-ounce glass of coconut milk before meals is a guaranteed weight loss method / Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Isabella Gualandi to her clients, was unveiled as a high-priced hooker / Vanna White discovered she was Black / Fantasy informed me that the blue language I have a habit of using in my liner notes and magazine articles will not be permitted nor tolerated during my tenure there as Volt's resident radical / mad Black American. This could be a blessing in wolves' clothing...Now a whole new world of expression has opened up to me...scrotum, orgasm, penis, buttock, vagina, urine, sodomy, diphtheria, homo-whatever, homo-whoever, clitoris, sperm, ejaculate, protoplasm, cunnilingus, feces, mammary glands, nipple, anus, and round-eye. Signing with Fantasy will not only be financially rewarding but a source of mandatory higher learning. You might say that I matriculated to Fantasy State, Berkeley, where I'm majoring in speech pathology. This album is for everyone except the faint of heart. It's like black shoes, a simple strand of pearls, mayonnaise or an egg bagel...it goes with everything. E.g., gazing into the fireplace, listening to the rain, plotting the downfall of a country, neutering the cat/a cat/any cat, creating racial tension or just bumping the ol' proverbial donkey. I dedicate this album to Desiree Anita, Antoinette Denise, Jocelyn Marie, Michelle Cecelia, and Jeri Yvonne, my daughters who if God had denied me the pleasure...and I mean pleasure in the Biblical sense...I would be ten years younger, ten dollars richer, and walking on the right side of sanity. Now kick back and enjoy a serving of a Swamp Dogg maternal intercourse! --Swamp Dogg Additional Notes: An 8-page digest-sized cookbook was released as a promotional item to accompany Surfin' In Harlem, titled "Swamp Dogg Presents: The Swamp Dogg Cook Book - Recipes Heard Around The World (Excerpt From Swamp Dogg's "If You Can Kill It I Can Cook It" Cookbook, Available This Winter." Page 2 includes the wording: Swamp Dogg describes his Volt debut, Surfin' In Harlem, as "the best balance and blend of material and arrangements and vocals that I've ever done, and I'm up to 17 albums now." This one includes such instant Swamp classics as "She's Built To Kill," "Appelle-Moi Noir," and "I've Never Been To Africa (And It's Your Fault)." Surfin' In Harlem (VCD-3408-2).

Productions, Inc. Tm Stone Dogg Records. Distributed by T.K. Productions, Inc., 495 S.E. 10th Court, Hialeah, Fla. Liner Notes: Special thanks to the Holiday Inn who made me pay in advance and then double locked my door. My gratitude to Steve Alaimo who pointed out all of my artistic shortcomings, lack of talent, and inability to negotiate on a higher plane. Thanks Steve, for buying this LP. And then there is Henry Stone, kind granddaddy of pseudo-Miami soul...I'll never forget his words..."Money? Why do you need money? All you're gonna do is spend it foolishly on your home, family, career, etc., etc., etc. Stay in the studio where you belong, everything will be all right." I took his advice and stayed in the studio eight months, without coming out for food, drink, clothes or bath. My family was gone, my house was converted to a Qwki Car Wash, and other people were singing my style. Henry, you got some advice for a niggers ass!! You also might be wondering why this album is entitled "Swamp Dogg's Greatest Hits"...That's only because you haven't every heard any of the songs, which is due mainly to the fact that you don't listen to rock stations in Santa Domingo, Aruba, Tel-Aviv, Capetown, Forte de France, Pakistan, Sudan, and Bethlehem, Pa., just to name a few. A Swamp Dogg fan is a devoted fan! When you enter a Swamp Dogg fan's home, you'll find that they have secured every means of Swamp Dogg communication possible: posters, reel to reel, eight track, cassettes, LP's, EP's, 45's, 78's, 8 x 10's, sheet music, Swamp Dogg magnetic cleaning cloths, Swamp Dogg display racks, needles, browser boxes, divider cards, special playback and recording equipment that is geared only for Swamp Dogg paraphernalia, and let's not forget my special polyethylene bags which you give to your younger brothers and sisters to play with while you're worshipping the dogg. Why am I loved so by these people? This was answered by the noted Polish doctor and philosopher Iamsuri Boondiskulchok Noritaka Musikverlage Dacla who said, "If you funk King Kong long enough you'll learn to love him."

Digitally remastered from original 1/4 inch production masters (except tracks 6&7, remastered from pristine vinyl due to disappearance of master tapes) by Denis Blackham at Country Masters, Frimley, Camberley, Surrey, England. Additional front cover wording: Jerry Williams Jr A.K.A. Swamp Dogg; Also Features Rare 1976 "Greatest Hits?" Album. "If You Ask Me (Because I Love You)" includes a 4-second count-in to the song ("1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4"). The instrumental break is 15 seconds long at 1:50-2:05. It is not known (by the discographer) whether or not this is the original 1966 version due to the 4-second count-in, or if this count-in appears only on this compilation. "Your Man" is a longer variation (3:32) than what appears on the vinyl single [8730 Records 102] (2:50) and the Little Jerry Williams Anthology (1954-1969) aka Swamp Dogg [S.D.E.G. 1942] (3:04). Liner Notes: Swamp Dogg! SWAMP DOGG!! Soul music's maverick figure, unique social commentator on the human condition, author, DJ, chef, raconteur, wit, man of a thousand faces and a million ideas - the self-styled "most successful failure" in the US. Swamp is all these things and much more besides - but, mostly, he's a writer/pianist/arranger/producer of immense talent, an off-the-wall artist occupying a special place in the musical pantheon and a cult hero to many discerning fans. There are numerous collectors out there still looking for obscure 45s with that magic imprint "produced by Jerry Williams Jr." on them. Because that was the name he was christened with, and the name he used for well over a decade in the music business before he re-invented himself as the Dogg at the end of the 60s. This CD showcases both aspects of his schizophrenic career. All his surviving Calla tracks from the 60s are here and kicking off this CD, including an alternate take of his hit and two bonus cuts scheduled for, but never reaching, issue status for the label. Then in the second half of the Disc we feature his complete "Greatest Hits?" LP, cut in 1973 for release on the short-lived Brut label, but finally released on Stone Dogg (a joint venture of Swamp and TK Records boss Henry Stone) some years later. Perhaps the only thread that links these two distinct phases of his musical life is the bewildering array of labels that his productions/releases appeared (and continue to appear!) on. Jerry Williams Jr. was born in 1942 in Portsmouth, Virginia and was a precocious child, showing early entrepreneurial skills in getting his first record pressed mail order, from an ad he found in a magazine, at the tender age of 14! {Website owner's note: Jerry was 12 years old when his first record was cut, as per a conversation with Swamp Dogg, June 2006.} Although the 78 r.p.m. "HTD Blues"/"Nat's Wailing" on Mechanic Records didn't sell many copies (distribution via Jerry's own efforts notwithstanding) it was a start in the music business. It also earned him the tag "Little Jerry Williams" which would stay with him right until his metamorphosis. After a gap of a couple years, while Jerry's boundless energy earned him some small notoriety in Virginia's music circles, he recorded again - this time more commercially - for Ember Records. "There Ain't Enough Love" sold well enough to persuade Jerry that music was to be his living. Hustling for gigs, promoting himself as a blues singer/rock'n'roll star, touring as "Larry Williams" or "Little Willie John", Jerry just about scraped by. Single releases were still sporadic at this time - one on Golden Crest at the end of the 50s, another on the short-lived Aldo label in 62 - by which time he was resident in Philadelphia, commuting to the Big Apple still looking for a break. Obscure releases on V-Tone (the appalling "Let's Do The Wobble (Before Chubby Gets It)") and Academy were followed in 1964 by releases for Southern Sound Records, one of which was picked up by Bob Krasnow for Loma. "I'm The Lover Man" (Loma 2005) offers the first sign that Williams was going to amount to something. His high baritone voice, with slight but obvious nasal twang, carried the song well and his writing talents more focused. The success of this 45 led him - via another Southern Sound release - to his first real stay with a company... Williams himself took "Baby You're My Everything" to Calla after Southern Sound passed on the track. It became his first national hit, reaching no. 34 on the Billboard charts early in '66 - and what a cracking uptown beat ballad it is. Take 4 gives full reign to Jerry's own beautifully chorded piano, one of the number's highlights, while take 3, at a slightly slower tempo, brings out the vocals, particularly those of the girl chorus featuring . (Take your pick!) Incidentally, the voice in the control booth belongs to Ritchie Rome, Williams' key New York associate who he met when he first went to Philly. He also gets a co-writer credit here, and on some other Calla sides, as "Rick Spain". The flip to Calla 105 was the uptempo "Just What Do You Plan To Do About It". Jerry's next 45 returned to the mid-pace of "I'm The Lover Man", but "Baby Bunny, (Sugar, Honey)" (Calla 109) didn't have quite the same appeal. The song was weaker and the lyrics were as poor as the title suggested, although the backing track had much merit and was alter resurrected by Williams as the track to "Run Run Roadrunner", which he produced on himself, Gene Pitney and Charlie Thomas & the Drifters for Musicor. The flip of BBSH, "Philly Duck" - an attempt to cash in on the current dance fad - has lasted rather better. His third 45 in 1966 was the pounding "If You Ask Me" (Calla 116) which did little at the time but was subsequently rediscovered in 1973 by, and has since become a classic of, the UK Northern Soul scene. "Yvonne", the b-side is a touching hymn of love, presumably dedicated to his wife. Williams' final official release for Calla coupled the funky Joe Tex-like R&B of "What's The Matter With You Baby" with a reprise of "Just What Do You Plan To Do About It". The splendid topside, with its raw, harsh sound, seems to me to be a taster for the stripped down approach he would adopt in a few years when he moved South. Now we come to one of those mysteries that plague Swamp's career. Calla scheduled another 45 "Your Man" and "Kiss Me" as single #124, but it was never issued. Neither was the projected album, which was to feature the singles plus those two cuts and others like "Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me" and "Lovey Dovey", the tapes of which are sadly lost. But we're proud to include the missing 45 here - a treat for all Williams freaks everywhere. One of the songs, "Your Man", (or a version of it!) may have seen the light of day on 8730 records (#102) but I don't know anybody who's seen it. {Website owner's note: that record on the 8730 label was released with the B-side being the instrumental "Give The Disc Jockey Some"; I have a copy.} Williams, by now a confident producer, worked himself a job with Musicor and put out discs by Tommy Hunt (including a version of "Your Man" that utilized his own version's Miami-recorded backing track), the Toys and the Exciters among others, as well as cutting his own 45 (the aforementioned "Run Run Roadrunner"/"I'm In The Danger Zone") and a raucous duet with Brooks O'Dell, "I Got What It Takes Pts. 1 & 2" ("and 3 - IF we have time!"). Hitting big with Inez and Charlie Foxx ("Count The Days") and Gene Pitney ("She's A Heartbreaker") didn't stop him moving on to a similar deal with Atlantic, via Henry Stone, at the end of 1968. Further producer credits on the Commodores' "Keep On Dancing" - their first 45 - Patti Labelle and the Bluebells and the Drifters followed, as well as hits for C and the Shells (and a couple of 45s under his own name) for Cotillion. But by now the strain of working for others, and the restrictions placed on his efforts, brought about the biggest change in his life. He boarded a plane in New York as Jerry Williams, and emerged in Macon, Georgia at the end of his journey as that Southern fried soulman, and off-beat socio- political musical agitator, Swamp Dogg...... And over the next few years, in a prodigious burst of creativity, he wrote and produced a huge catalogue of music. Working on the principle that if you issue enough product some of it is bound to be successful, he made records with well-known stars like Solomon Burke and Irma Thomas as well as more obscure artists like Bette Williams and Wolfmoon. What is surprising is how high the quality threshold was that Swamp managed to maintain, despite the speed at which he was cutting sides. Working closely with a small group of individuals like Charlie Whitehead a.k.a. Raw Spitt and Gary US Bonds, the songs that were written were lyrically inventive and melodically interesting. Not surprisingly, hits for artists like Doris Duke, Freddie North and ZZ Hill followed. Much of this material from the very early 70s has by now achieved classic status - Doris Duke's "I'm A Loser" album for example - but the vast majority of it was orthodox southern soul. Using the famous Quinvy/Broadway studios in Muscle Shoals, and his old buddy Ritchie Rome to add the sweetening, the tales of infidelity Swamp spun were right in the soul mainstream. For some recordings - like Raw Spitt - and the ones under his own new alias, though, it was a rather different story. For these Swamp became an LP oriented artist, giving himself more room to let his imagination, conscience and poetic talents run free. These iconoclastic tendencies and his outspoken, but nevertheless pertinent, views on race and other social issues of the day did not necessarily endear him to radio program controllers or even label owners. But he continued to pursue his own musical visions throughout the 70s releasing a string of fascinating discs on an ever-growing variety of labels (usually a different one for each album). His first long-player "Total Destruction To Your Mind" (Canyon) set the scene well, featuring a raft of different styles from blues to soul to rock all touched by that unique Swamp Dogg touch. "Rat On!" (Elektra) followed in 1971, and "Cuffed Collared And Tagged" (Cream) a year later. The second half of this CD was to have been his fourth set. It was cut, towards the end of the summer of 1973 and in Muscle Shoals, for Brut records - who went bust before a release could be organized. There are rumors that a Brut 45 featuring "Buzzard luck" and "Ebony and Jet" exists but, again, I don't know anybody who has a copy. {Website owner's note: the Brut single was released and does exist, Brut BR 818.} In the end Swamp and Henry Stone put the LP out on Stone Dogg in 1976, after his excellent 1975 Island set "Have You Heard This Story", which had followed 1974's Stone Dogg debut "Gag A Maggot". With typical Dogg humor it was entitled "Greatest Hits?", the "?" indicating his own view of it's probably fate. Musically it's quite an eclectic mixture, with his usual rhythm section and horns plowing a determinedly southern soul approach, but the inclusion of a banjo here and there and some hillbilly or rock guitar hither and yon make the overall sound impossible to put in a convenient pigeonhole. And that's the whole point of course. Just as the lyrics - notably on "Call Me Nigger", a number he had previously cut in a far less arresting fashion on Raw Spitt, for the latter's now-rare Canyon album - proclaim the crucially important point that people are individuals who should be treated as unique human beings and entitled to respect for their individuality, so the music shows Swamp's particular and special instrumental feel. (Besides, I'm sure the guys were hanging round the studio looking for a session!) Particular highlights from the set include Swamp's desperate cry for fame on "Ebony And Jet" and the splendidly sly "Eat The Goose (Before The Goose Eats You)". To balance the LP, and to show that he can do straight soul music as well as anyone when he wants to, there are a couple of fine ballads. "I Can't Stand To Hear Her Say Please" and "I'm Still In Love With You" feature some typical Dogg chord changes as well as his super piano playing - an aspect of his music that has never received as much attention as it's deserved. But for me, and most fans of this album for that matter, the track that comes from the heart is "I've Never Been To Africa", where the poignant lyrics seem all the more compelling in the context of the rest of the LP, and all the truer for the absence of the usual Dogg jokes. Further albums for DJM, Musicor, Takoma and Wizard followed this set during the 70s and he continued to release material - albeit at a slower pace - during the 80s. He was outspoken in his views about disco music, CDs and black radio during this period, but a new generation of fans appreciating his earlier productions brought him back to producing artists like Tommy Hunt, Bobby McClure and Ruby Andrews into the 90s. "I Called For A Rope And They Threw Me A Rock" on his own Swamp Dogg Entertainment Group (SDEG) label closed out the 80s for the man. A set for Volt ("Surfing in Harlem") and an obscure semi-hits CD release for Virgin's blues subsidiary Point Blank in 1995 are his own most recent CDs, along with a 2-on- 1 reissue of "Total Destruction Of Your Mind" and "Rat On!" as "The Most Excellent Sides Of Swamp Dogg" (SDEG). But at the end of last year he took excellent blue-eyed soulman Billy Price into the studio for a splendid Green Dolphin album almost entirely made up of new Dogg material, and after years of being an almost-exclusively studio-bound artist he has finally started to play selected live shows in North America and Europe. What is difficult to convey in notes like these is Swamp's irrepressible lust for life. His sense of humor, enthusiasm and sheer joie de vivre are much better appreciated through his own writings - not just his articles for soul fanzine "Voices From the Shadows" and his musical autobiography in "Soul Survivor" in the 80s, but especially his own liner notes to his LPs. Short sharp and to the point, they are the best indicators of all to his character - check them out. To conclude, we must thank the man himself for all the great music he's made for us. As he signs himself off on the original cover of the "Greatest Hits?" album - "produced and arranged by Jerry Williams Jr. (the Swamp Dogg), PhD, DDT, VD, BS, RFD." -- John Ridley January 2000 Special thanks to the Dogg's number one fan, Mr. Jan Barker.

Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe (4:08) [Jerry Williams, Jr. and Gary Bonds] Liner Notes: Biographical Trifles I was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, July 12, 1942 and was fortunate enough to move away as soon as I became of age. Without any formal training I awakened one morning only to find that I was a genius and could master a number of musical instruments including piano, tambourine, sticks, finger cymbals, tweezers, washboard and bobby pin. At eighteen years old I was Captain of the volleyball team. Got married when I was 21, Yvonne: damn near ruined her life - so I filed for a divorce which wasn't granted, blah, blah, blah, blah, yak, yak, etc., and so on... Became a bartender by day and a carpenter by night while she stayed at home to raise our new born orangutan. We later moved into a one room, cold water flat with Wally Roker, Phil Walden, Jerry Wexler, Gene Autry, Snow White, Moms Mabley and a whole bunch of other people who are going to be uptight because their names aren't listed in detail with their social views and other fetishes. I owe all my present success to a very dear person, someone who stuck by me when things were really bad and has never made a motion to harm me or my talents in any way. A person whom I love, worship and admire beyond any shadow of doubt - ME!!! Recorded and mixed at Capricorn Studios, Macon Georgia. People Whose Heads Were The Same Place As Mine: Jesse (Beaver) Carr - guitar; Johnny (Duck) Sandlin - drums; Robert (Pop) Popwell - bass; Paul (Berry) Hornsby - organ, piano; Jerry Williams, Jr. - piano; Jim (Fantastic) Hawkins - engineer; Jackie Avery Singers - background vocals; cover photos - Willis Hogans, Jr.; The Maconites - horns; Yvonne Williams - album co- ordinator; Jerry Williams, Jr. - producer and arranger; Frank Fenter - wheeler - dealer. Relevant Quotes "No commercial possibilities." --A Very Big Man at Canyon Records "Swamp Dogg would have all the 'ear-marks' of a winner if he would change his name to something catchy and clever, for instance Jerry Williams." --Don Quixote "It'll be a great day for us when Swamp Dogg hits the charts." --Elmhurst Finance Co. "We have finally convinced the present-day composer to join A.S.C.A.P." --A Very Big Man at B.M.I. "I'd like to guide your career. I honestly believe you could be as big as Clarence Reid." --Henry Stone Canyon Records, Inc., 1242 N. Highland Avenue, Hollywood, California 90028. Additional Notes: In 2013 the album was reissued on vinyl and digipack CD by Alive Naturalsound Records. The vinyl reissue includes a gatefold poster. The LP was reissued on standard black vinyl, "Purple Haze" vinyl, digipack CD, a limited edition (250) bundle including the "Purple Haze" vinyl LP and the digipack CD, and in a limited edition bundle (150) including the colored vinyl LP, digipack CD, and tshirt of Rat On! and Total Destruction To Your Mind: http://www.bompstore.com/servlet/Detail?no=14703 In Swamp Dogg's February 24, 2008 Right Track Soul Show interview he further explained that, at the prompting of Macon disc jockey Hamp Swain, he had recorded "Everything You'll Ever Need" and "If I Die Tomorrow I've Lived Tonight" for a single by JoAnn Bunn. After the recording Swain informed Swamp that Joann confessed to being 13 years old, pregnant and wanting to raise a family instead of pursuing a singing career. Thus Swamp recorded over her vocals, though they still leaked through on the finished product. The album cover was photographed at LaGuardia Airport in New York NY, as revealed by Swamp Dogg in his February 24, 2008 interview on The Right Track Soul Show. In a February 2013 issue of Mojo, in which the 2013 reissue of the LP is reviewed ("The Beast In Me" by Andrew Male), Swamp further explains, "That truck was behind La Guardia Airport, three blocks from my home. I'm sitting in the show, like a fool. It's meant to look like a graduation cap on my head. I made it out of paper. ... When I recorded the first Swamp Dogg album I was still Jerry. But it didn't sound like Jerry. It was this guy who was half angry, half dirty... I had a better chance as Swamp Dogg. He could do anything he wanted to." ...the cover was shot by some guy who took mug shots for the New York Police Department. "That's why the album cover is so grainy and fucked up. They don't care about what your picture looks like in the NYPD! But everybody loved that washed-out cover! If I tried to duplicate that, I couldn't. 'Cause I don't know what we did! There was no strategy! I wish I could sit here and say (adopts nonchalant voice) 'Well yes, well see, then we...' We didn't plan to do a motherfuckin' thing but cut an album, put a cover on it---the only plan was, the original album was a gatefold. The company tried to talk me out of it, and I was gonna walk away from the company because I wanted a gatefold. I was so impressed with niggers whose albums opened up; I had to have one. Niggers was still buyin' 45's. They would've bought eight 45's from that album, but they wouldn't buy the album.'..."I wasn't shooting for anything," he now says. "I cut that first album, I really didn't know what I was doing. That's why the material is so disjointed, although over the years, people have decided that it is a powerful fuckin' album." [Roctober no.28 (Summer 2000), page 61, phone interview with James Porter]; see: http://www.roctober.com/roctober/contact.html NOTES FROM LITTLE JERRY WILLIAMS ANTHOLOGY (1954-1969): "The next project was on a Macon, Georgia girl, JoAnn Bunn, who sang like forty canaries in rehearsal but froze in the studio. I salvaged her two tracks by overdubbing my voice. Immediately after I flew back to Los Angeles to make a deal. On the plane I'm thinking, "I don't want to be Jerry Williams, "Little" Jerry or any of those Jackie Wilson, Ben E. King prototypes anymore. I want to sing about women, politics, screwing, television, syphilis and anything else I feel is pertinent and I want a name that will shock and be remembered." I decided to call myself The Dogg. Upon presentation of the two sides to Wally Rocker he asked "who's the artist?" I answered, "Dogg". "What kind of Dogg?" he asked. "He needs a first name," I assured him that by the time I completed the album the name would also be complete. To complete the album I returned to Macon where the rhythm section branded my album as Swamp Music, likened to , etc. That's it!! Swamp Dogg! "Total Destruction To Your Mind", was the album - over a million sales to date worldwide, not counting the bootlegs. By the way, if you listen to "Everything You'll Ever Need" and "If I Die Tomorrow I've Lived Tonight", you can hear JoAnn Bunn's voice faintly where it leaked through the piano track to live on forever." 2013 reissue promo: http://www.alive-totalenergy.com/x/?page_id=3848

According to Clive Richardson, "The mis-print on the label actually prompted Cliff White, who I believe co-ordinated the release, to send out a press release to reviewers explaining/mitigating/apologizing for the error!!" The error was never spotted by Swamp Dogg until the issue came up on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) in June 2007: "Well I be damned. All these years and I never noticed the error until a moment ago." Liner Notes: Swamp Dogg was born one mystical night in 1970. Born in the mind of an outwardly unassuming character who for the previous 28 years had masqueraded as Jerry Williams, Jr., an itinerant singer, writer and producer of little renown, save perhaps as co-creator of hits for Gene Pitney and Inez & Charlie Foxx and as sole creator/performer of one minor mid-60s soul ballad hit, "Baby You're My Everything". Jerry Williams Jr. had spent most of his adult life knocking on East Coast doors, up from his birth town of Portsmouth, Virginia, to the mean streets of New York and Philadelphia. Along the way he'd intermittently recorded a few "collectors items" - including a baroque little opus called "Let's Do The Wobble (before Chubby gets it)" - and written and/or produced good but unsuccessful sides for the likes of Tommy Hunt, Patti Labelle & The Bluebelles, The Commodores (their first record) and Gary U.S. Bonds. Then came the night of the Dogg and the light of a New Day. Coming from a whole 'nother direction - Macon, Georgia, by way of a cerebral short-circuit - Swamp Dogg emerged with his 'Total Destruction To Your Mind' album, the first of an occasional series of erratic but frequently sharp observations on the individual nature of The States ("Synthetic World", "God Bless America For What", "Remember I Said Tomorrow", "Mighty Mighty Dollar Bill") and the state of its individuals ("Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe", "Predicament No.2", "Wife Sitter", "The Other Man"). Unfortunately neither America nor the rest of the world were quite ready to be upbraided in so forthright a fashion, especially by a musician of no easily definable status. For whereas Jerry Williams Jr. might have been type-cast as a regular soul singer, Swamp Dogg was no such animal. An eclectic beast, crossed between '50s r&b and blues, southern white rock 'n' roll and the New Breed ideas of Sly Stone and George Clinton, the Dogg was an altogether unfamiliar mongrel whose music rarely fitted any known programming formula. As a rock encyclopedia commented in 1976, "Because of his healthy disregard for commercial trends he has not yet received widespread recognition, although he's becoming increasingly known for the powerful imagery of his songs". Two years earlier Swamp Dogg had simply put it, "I have come to the conclusion that I'm a freak for rejection...hurt me!!...I think I love it". Mind you, it hasn't all been such a determinedly destructive career as it sounds. For while Swamp Dogg went his esoteric way, since the late 60's Jerry Williams Jr. has been up and over and down the rags-to- riches-to-rags parabola at least twice, primarily on the strength of his "powerful imagery" projected through less controversial performers set to more easily accessible music. Two contrasting examples of his work with other artists have already been released on Charly - albums by Irma Thomas ('In Between Tears', CRB1020) and Solomon Burke ('From The Heart', CRB1024) - and others will follow. Here, however, we present uncut Swamp Dogg; so raw and rare in fact that a goodly part of the album is previously unissued Swamp Dogg. To the best of my knowledge only "Creeping Away" and "Remember I Said Tomorrow" have previously been issued on album (his second, 'Rat On', in 1971) while "Buzzard Luck" was a 1973/4 single that, together with "Ebony and Jet", "Don't You Try To Be My Man" and "Forever Hold Your Peace", formed part of a projected LP that never got beyond promo-copy stage. This is in the main the wittier, more lyrical side of Swamp, with the musical zone split about even between New Orleans-to-Memphis southern soul and white rock ("E&J" being a black equivalent to Dr. Hook's "Rolling Stone" and "Tomorrow" a ghetto response to the Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil"). With the possible exception of "Lucille And Her Man" (a.k.a. "Do The B.B. King") - an instrumental featuring Jesse Carr on guitar and Swamp on piano that may have briefly seen vinyl in the early '70s - the balance of the tracks stem from a March '72 live-in-studio session that was too hot to handle at the time and has lain on the shelf ever since. This is the deeper side of Swamp, the no commercial potential but fuck it let's lay it down like it is side of Swamp, with the music cutting clean thru from blues and gospel roots, untouched by marketing moguls, media misinterpretation or public ear. (Swamp freaks please note: these recordings of "Mama's Baby", "America" and "Synthetic World" are not the known versions from his first two albums). Jerry Williams Jr. and Swamp Dogg both still exist in everlovin' tandem. To catch up on Jerry's latest work check out the new Charly single "15 Minutes" by Maggi (CYS1078). As for Swamp, the last I heard he'd just written a song called "Your Love Ain't Worth No More To Me Than Two Dead Flies". Did I say no commercial potential? --Cliff White May 1981

Yes once again the time seems right for yet another full frontal assault from the man known as Swamp Dogg. Can the world take it? For the uninitiated among you (are there any?) Swamp Dogg has been with us since 1970 but before that spent many unrewarding years dragging the line on the r'n'b circuit as plain ol' Jerry, Little Jerry, Jerry Williams or any other name that caught his imagination. Born Jerry Williams Jnr. in Portsmouth, Virginia on July 12, 1942, he recorded his first record, "The Shape You Left Me In", for the Ace label in 1959. Since those days he's appeared on countless labels, rarely staying for more than two releases. An acquired taste as a singer, he is probably much better known as either writer or producer of some of the rawest r'n'b, mainly by southern based artists, although sorties to New York and Philadelphia have also brought rewards. Since the last installment of vintage Dogg material (see CRB 1026) he has recorded a fine album for the Takoma label, featuring the amusingly titled "The Love We Got Ain't Worth Two Dead Flies", which marked his first duet with a female artist, namely the magnificent Esther Phillips. They were billed as "The New Sweethearts Of " - move over Shirley and Lee! Swamp also contributed two songs to the biggest album Malaco Records and Z.Z. Hill in particular have ever had, "Down Home Blues", and has been largely instrumental in the relaunching of another of the sixties' finest talents, Miss Darlene Love. Just recently he has signed a recording deal with British label Ensign, for whom he has an album due for release in the summer of '83 and plans to record his charming daughter Michele. On top of that, a projected European tour is in the pipeline for this summer, which will at last give us all a chance to experience his highly original style in person. The material on this collection is again a cross section of little known album tracks plus a few from the vaults. The instrumental "Gazelle" was originally on Charlie Whitehead's Fungus album and is quite a change from the norm, being a highly orchestrated mock-Philly sound with Swamp much to the fore on organ. Strong lyrical songs abound, including the stark reality of "Call Me Nigger", which hits hard at the bigots of the world and harks back to the black explanation of the NAACP organization that "Nigger's Aren't Always Colored People". "The Baby's Mine" is a continuation of the classic "Mama's Baby" and was previously cut by Oscar Toney Jnr. "Wonder How I Got Here" was recorded live at the Fillmore West and although leaning towards one of Swamp's heroes Tony Joe White and his hit "Polk Salad Annie", proves what can be achieved with just a rhythm section. Political statements such as "I've Never Been To Africa" deserve special attention, in direct contrast is the plaintive "I Should Never Have Written This Song". His highly individual style is now very much back in vogue and people are even posing the question, did George Clinton write "Automatic Dog" about our man? So we present the one and only Swamp Dogg unmuzzled and ready to bite all non-believers. --Trevor Swaine, April 1983 Souled Out and New Blackbeat magazines

Additional Notes: This album was completed by Swamp Dogg at the end of 2013 with the previously tentative title The Real Doggfather. In January 2014 he kindly sent download link previews of the tracks to a select group of individuals. It was initially scheduled to be released on April 15, 2014 but wasn't released until December 2, 2014. I suspect the delay was due to problems over Swamp's reinterpretation of the song "Sweet Home Alabama" which was slotted as the final track on the record but didn't make the final cut, now becoming a rare outtake only available amongst collectors. The album was released on CD and limited edition pink vinyl. Swamp also uploaded the tracks to YouTube on November 20, 2014. http://www.alive-records.com/artist/swamp-dogg/ http://www.bompstore.com/servlet/Detail?no=15956#.VG-DXsstDGh http://www.bompstore.com/servlet/Detail?no=15953#.VG-DacstDGh A bonus CD was issued through Bomp, Best Of Swamp Dogg's Soul & Blues Collection which includes 2 rare tracks: F*ck The Bomb Stop The Drugs - previously only available on the out-or-print Best Of 25 Years Of Swamp Dogg...Or F*** The Bomb, Stop The Drugs (1995, Virgin Records America/Pointblank Classic 7243-8-41283-2-6); and My Life Ain't Nothing But A Blues Song - previously only available on the out-of-print Ted & Venus: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1992, Warlock/S.D.E.G.

Liner Notes: 26-year-old Portsmouth, Virginia native Jerry Williams, Jr. joined Atlantic's A&R department and signed his own recording deal with the company's all-R&B subsidiary Cotillion in 1969. Fresh from a modicum of success with New York R&B imprint Calla Records, and slightly more success with Musicor and its R&B subsidiary Dynamo - both as a producer and a recording artist - Williams was already well into his second decade in the music business. He'd started out as a kid in the very late , recording as would-be Little Richard copyist Little Jerry. By the mid-60s, he was based in Philadelphia and recording as Little Jerry Williams, under which name he almost scored with "I'm The Lover Man" for Southern Sound/Loma Records (1965) and did score with the brilliant "Baby You're My Everything" for Calla (#32 R&B in early '66). Short on stature but long on talent, Jerry was as gifted a songwriter as he was unique as a singer. Williams' tenure with Atlantic yielded little in the way of hits. Although they were still having great success in their core business, with artists such as Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Clarence Carter, Atlantic was becoming increasingly committed to their expanding international rock market. It's likely that money that might have been spent on promoting the records that Jerry produced was being diverted towards the promotion of Led Zeppelin, yes, the , Stephen Stills, , the Allman Brothers and others whose work was appearing under the Atlantic umbrella. (Ironically, the Brothers' stellar lead guitarist, , would figure significantly in Swamp's immediate post-Atlantic future.) It's unclear if Williams quit - or was fired from - his Atlantic gig in late 1969. He wasted little time, quickly moving on to what most of us would regard as his golden era, ushered in by a new (and all too short-lived) label that gave him the creative freedom that he needed. His reputation as a maverick genius is based upon the four albums and associated singles released there. Canyon Records was owned and operated by Wally Roker, a former member of doo wop greats the Heartbeats. Roker had spent most of the 1960s as a producer, publisher and promoter, but Canyon lasted not much more than a year and it is largely remembered for the records that were produced by Jerry Williams Jr. All of these were recorded in Muscle Shoals or Macon, GA, using local pickers from a pool of musicians that were loosely associated with the Allman Brothers (including Duane Allman, keyboardist Paul Hornsby and the Brothers' producer, Johnny Sandlin, on drums) augmented with a few of Swamp's own discoveries, including the brilliantly fluid Robert "Pop" Popwell on bass. Swamp's own songwriting style was moving away from the straightforward love songs that had been his stock-in-trade to encompass previously taboo themes, such as adultery and prostitution, that had been banned on radio until then. With a selection of co- writers that included Gary US Bonds, Troy Davis, and a young man who stuck with Swamp for years afterwards, Charlie Whitehead, Swamp turned out classic after classic, almost always enhanced by the superior playing of his southern rhythm section and the beautifully sweeping orchestrations of his former Calla collaborator, the arranger Richard Rome. The Canyon albums line up as follows: Doris Duke's "I'm A Loser" is a strong candidate for the greatest deep soul album of all time. Sandra Phillips' "Too Many People In One Bed" is almost as good as "I'm A Loser" in the opinion of many soul connoisseurs. Raw Spitt's "Raw Spitt" is a wonderful debut set for Charlie Whitehead, who Swamp had first recorded for Musicor's Dynamo subsidiary. Lastly, Swamp Dogg's "Total Destruction To Your Mind" is an unsurpassable opening salvo, even given the quality the albums that succeeded it. And that, of course, is where Jerry Williams left the building and Swamp Dogg arrived in earnest. When Williams took the masters of "Total Destruction" to Roker, he told him that he was going to release them with an artist credit of "Dogg", in an attempt to give the world something to immediately remember. "Dogg" quickly morphed into "Swamp Dogg" ("Swamp Rock" being very 'in' in rock circles at that point in time) and a legend was not too much born as reinvented. Which is where our story really begins. Throughout the 1970s, Swamp changed labels constantly. In 1971 - following the demise of Canyon - he was on Elektra. The following year, he joined Los Angeles-based indie Cream, run by ex-head of Liberty Records Alvin "Al" Bennett. Come 1973, Swamp was in bed (figuratively speaking) with another veteran record man, Miami's Henry Stone, for the joint venture that was Stone Dogg Records. He next pitched up briefly and less than a year later on a short-lived label that was owned by the men's cologne manufacturers Brut. In 1975 he was on the roster of the US division of Island Records, then one of the hottest labels in the world. But Island couldn't do for him what it had done in the UK for artists such as , Free, Traffic, Bob Marley and Mott The Hoople, and so by 1976 Swamp Dogg was back with Henry Stone, releasing an ironically titled "Greatest Hits?" album that had originally been recorded for Brut and that contained no actual hits (although it did contain some of his best-ever songs). In 1976, Swamp also signed to a temporarily-revitalized Vee-Jay Records, but the label was already in trouble when he joined and his album for them only seems to have been released outside the USA. 1977 saw a release on the terminally obscure Wizard label, followed by a brief return to Musicor, under new ownership but still bearing the same distinctive logo that had graced "Run Run Roadrunner" a decade earlier. Another reunion was effected in 1978, this time with Cream, but the "Doin' A Party Tonite" album was a long way from Swamp's best and was issued only in Europe. The closing years of the 1970s introduced Ala, Takoma and his own Atomic Art label to Swamp's discography, with the same brevity that marked his time with the imprints that preceded them. Stability arrived with the dawn of the 1980s since when Swamp Dogg's recordings have been issued on either his own Rare Bullet or, primarily, SDEG labels - where, if a record doesn't sell, at least he has the satisfaction of knowing that it's nobody else's fault. Over the years Swamp has also produced a huge number of recordings, both for the labels he was signed to and others. On Mankind and Fungus (joint ventures between Swamp and Excello and tape manufacturers BSF respectively) he worked with Doris Duke, Freddie North, Irma Thomas, Charlie Whitehead, his old pal Brooks O'Dell and Brooks' protégé, Tyrone "Wolfmoon" Thomas. During the same timeframe, Swamp produced artists such as Arthur Conley for Capricorn, Jay Dee Bryant and Charlie Whitehead (again) for Island, Eleanor Grant for Columbia, Charlie Whitehead (yet again!) for UA, Atomic Art and Stone Dogg, Ruth Brown for President and plenty of others. Swamp's 1970s output was as consistently good as it is plentiful. It's one of life's great mysteries why so much of it wasn't more commercially successful. This compilation covers just under ten years in the recording life of Jerry Williams Jr., running from 1968 to 1977 approximately. His earlier career prior to 1968 has been covered by two previous CDs. His Calla era was featured extensively on the now deleted 1999 Westside CD "Swamp's Things", while everything that he recorded from Little Jerry to Calla is to be found on an "Anthology" CD on his SDEG lael. Kent has already issued several CDs featuring Swamp's productions on ZZ Hill, Freddie North, Doris Duke, Irma Thomas, Charlie Whitehead and Brooks O'Dell, so the repertoire for this compilation has been selected from the work of artists with whom Swamp enjoyed briefer encounters. His time with Musicor/Dynamo is represented by productions/compositions on Inez & Charlie Foxx, Tommy Hunt, Brooks [O'Dell] & Jerry [Williams Jr.] and his own "Run Run Roadrunner". The Cotillion/Atlantic era is covered by selections from the Drifters, erstwhile Sandpebbles C & The Shells, Patti La Belle & the Blue Belles and more from Jerry himself. His early independent work of the period is represented by Gary US Bonds and Little Charles & the Sidewinders, as well as his Slick 'n' The Family Brick project that featured Bonds, Swamp and Kenny Carter. Prime quality out-takes from Arthur Conley and ZZ Hill show that the 70s southern soul he created that was passed over was every bit as good as the issued stuff. The most recent tracks in our compilation, from Eleanor Grant and ex-member of the Independents Helen Curry, prove that anything disco could do, Swamp could do better. Let's take a look at the treats we have in store, in approximately chronological order. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7) Count The Days - Inez & Charlie Foxx I Need A Woman Of My Own - Tommy Hunt Run Run Roadrunner - Jerry Williams She's A Heartbreaker - Gene Pitney Swamp really hit his stride as an all-rounder during his time with Art Talmadge's Musicor Records and its R&B subsidiary Dynamo. He'd been allowed to run his own sessions as a Calla artist, but it was at Musicor that he first moved into the world of tailoring his personal cloth to suit the means of others. His first big success on the other side of the mixing desk came in late 1967 with the now-classic "(1-2-3- 4-5-6-7) Count The Days" by brother and sister act Inez & Charlie Foxx, which made #17 R&B / #76 Pop in the early weeks of 1968, their first Top 20 R&B entry since the success of "Mockingbird" in 1963. Swamp had been teamed with the Foxxes by Inez' husband, Dynamo's A&R manager Luther Dixon. Although he's subsequently claimed that Foxx's involvement in the sessions was passive rather than active, Charlie is credited as a co-writer of several of the tracks from the Musicor/Dynamo era and also as the producer of many of the recordings, while Swamp is hiding under songwriting aliases, possibly to circumnavigate a still- active contract with Calla. "Count The Days" is Swamp Dogg through and through, both melodically and lyrically. Recognizing the value of a good copyright, Swamp and Charlie would also cut the song on Gene Pitney later in the year, while Swamp alone would give it a third go round in 1969 at Atlantic, where Patti La Belle & the Blue Belles' excellent rendition went unreleased for almost 35 years. Former Flamingo, Scepter solo star and Dynamo's first signing Tommy Hunt go uncharacteristically funky on "I Need A Woman Of My Own", a song that Swamp composed with New York tunesmith Stanley Kahan aka Bob Elgin. It didn't give anyone a hit, but it set up further Hunt-Williams Dynamo collaborations. The beguiling "Run Run Roadrunner" should have given Swamp his second chart single as an artist. Its inexplicable failure did not deter him from having another go with the song, at the Gene Pitney sessions later in the year. In the USA, Gene's version appeared only on the album that was put together to capitalize on the success of "She's A Heartbreaker", although nearly four years later it was issued on 45 in the UK to a modest response. In 1975, the backing track was dusted down for a third Musicor version by ex-drifter Charlie Thomas. This creative recycling process actually stemmed back to Swamp's own version of the song, as the same backing track had previously been utilized behind his Calla recording "Baby, Bunny (Sugar, Honey)". Although not a hit, "Run Run Roadrunner" is a favorite on both the Northern/Crossover and, latterly, Island Soul collectors scenes and has been bootlegged in Jamaica on the Calla label. Swamp's biggest hit of the period was "She's A Heartbreaker", a sock-it-to-me stomp of a tune that didn't so much break the previously-established mould of Gene Pitney as intense balladeer as smash it to smithereens. As Swamp tells it, Gene apparently heard him working on "Run Run Roadrunner" at a session that he was booked to follow and indicated that he would like them to work together in an attempt to try something outside the established Pitney "norm". Musicor's boss Talmadge was not keen on the idea or the results. Early pressings of "Heartbreaker" appeared with an artist credit just to "G P" but no one was fooled, and with a full artist credit installed, the record gave Gene his biggest Hot 100 hit in almost five years when it peaked at #16 in the Spring of '68. Any one of Gene's other Swamp collaborations could have followed "Heartbreaker" into the Top 20 but Musicor chose to lose the momentum by issuing two non-Pitney/Williams 45s, which flopped, before throwing "Baby You're My Kind Of Woman" into the market in February 1969. By that time, Swamp had moved on to other things, and other labels. Your Man - Jerry Williams Please Open Up The Door - Little Charles & The Sidewinders I'm Glad You're Back - Gary Us Bonds On Your Way Home - C & The Shells Your Best Friend - The Drifters He's Gone - Patti La Belle & The Blue Belles Shipwrecked - Jerry Williams After falling out with Musicor/Dynamo but before moving to Atlantic, Swamp had a brief fling with a small, New York-based indie, Botanic Records - run out of that legendary Big Apple address, 1650 Broadway. The label lasted between September and November 1968, long enough to issue three singles. The best sides of the two singles that involved Swamp directly are included here. Little Charles Walker and his six-piece Sidewinders had been releasing records since the mid-60s (including one, "I Thing Going", on Drum, another Luther Dixon enterprise). "Please Open Up The Door" shows that he was already a formidable vocalist, and the busy Teacho Wiltshire arrangement should have caught enough ears to make the track at least a small national hit rather than merely a good local seller. With a new song, "Ship Wrecked", on the top, Swamp recycled the rhythm of "Door" on one side of his first Cotillion single, which should have done better that it did. Virginia homeboys Swamp and Gary US Bonds went way back and their songwriting collaborations of the early 70s would rank among their best work. In 1968, they were concentrating on trying to get Bonds back on the charts after a gap of nearly six years since "Dear Lady Twist" hit #5 R&B / #9 Pop in early 1962. The rabble-rousing "I'm Glad You're Back" did not have the desired chart effect (he had no further hits until his 1980s association with Bruce Springsteen) but that did not stop Swamp making Gary his first signing once he joined Atlantic as an A&R man-cum-artist in 1969. Swamp has said that his few months with Atlantic/Cotillion were among the most frustrating of his career. He felt he was being handed too many artists that were coming up for their sell-by date (including the Drifters and Patti La Belle & the Blue Belles - ironically, given the massive career resurgence that both acts experienced less than five years later) and that the company was not getting behind the other acts that he was bringing to the table. Given the massive 70s success of the Commodores on Motown, this may well have been the case. The only artist that Swamp produced who had hits during this era was C & the Shells - formerly Calla Records act the Sandpebbles. The group enjoyed two moderate R&B chart hits on Cotillion, just weeks apart, in the spring of '69 with "You Are The Circus" (#28) and "Good Morning Starshine" (#46) from the musical Hair (everyone was doing Hair songs back then). But Atlantic shamefully buried the best of the group's recordings, "On Your Way Home", on the flip of "Starshine", where only soul collectors would hear and treasure it. Swamp cut a subsequent session with the trio, but the results - which included a version of "Private Number" - were shelved and the whole session was re-recorded with Atlantic's latest flavor-of-the-month, Dave Crawford, when Swamp and Atlantic parted ways. Swamp's other release of this era was his own version of "Your Man", which appeared, in fairly appalling sound quality, on the mysterious and short-lived 87-30 label. This version used the same backing track as Tommy Hunt's Dynamo recording, but that backing track was actually cut for an unreleased Calla version of the much loved "Oh Lord, What Are You Doing To Me", the acetate of which is still in Swamp's possession. Swamp then cut "Your Man" himself for a proposed Calla single that didn't happen, before taking the tape to Musicor/Dynamo and cutting Tommy's version of the song over it. Creative recycling at its best, you will agree! (Talking of recycling, the sharp of eye will have noticed that both the Drifters and Patti La Belle sides featured here were re-arranged and re-cut by Swamp for inclusion on Doris Duke's "I'm A Loser" - which also featured two Clarence Carter songs, "I Can't Do Without You" and "The Feeling Is Right", from an album that came out during Swamp's brief Atlantic tenure.) What's So Wrong With You Loving Me - Kenny Carter Don't Trust A Woman - Slick 'n' The Family Brick Straight From My Heart - Swamp Dogg Don't Throw Your Love To The Wind - Swamp Dogg Touch 'Em With Love - Z.Z. Hill Who's The Blame - Obe Jessie & The Seeds Of Freedom Swamp's musical relocation to the American South and the wonderful sounds that resulted is thoroughly documented in the sleeve notes to the Doris Duke, Charlie Whitehead, Irma Thomas and Brooks O'Dell CD projects. The tracks in this grouping all emanate from 1969-71 and provide a useful complement to that material. After the demise of Canyon Records, and before the establishment of Mankind, Swamp briefly set up a Swamp Dogg Presents label which lasted for just three singles. We've included both sides of Swamp's own single for the label here. The vitriolic blues "Straight From My Heart" is very much in the vein of "Mama's Baby - Daddy's Maybe" from Swamp's "Total Destruction To Your Mind" album and, given that "Baby" made #33 R&B as Canyon 30 in May 1970, it was undoubtedly conceived specifically as a follow-up. (The presence of guitar legend Lonnie Mack should be noted and can hardly be missed.) Swamp's appreciation of the great songwriting of Atlanta's Joe South was embellished further by his recording of "Don't Throw Your Love To The Wind", a perfect complement to his versions of South's "Redneck" and "These Are Not My People" on "Total Destruction". The other Swamp Dogg Presents artist to feature here is Slick 'n' the Family Brick, a loose aggregation that featured Swamp, US Bonds (patently audible as the lead singer on the humorous "Don't Trust A Woman") and Kenny Carter, a New York-based singer with whom Swamp worked for quite a while without ever releasing anything. For this CD we've prised Carter's original demo of "What's So Wrong With You Loving Me" - a song that was recorded later by Irma Thomas and Brooks O'Dell - out of Swamp's vaults. The SDP label was quickly iced as Swamp began to have success with Freddie North, Doris Duke and ZZ Hill on Mankind. Prior to Mankind's formation he had been recording Arzel Hill at his preferred studio, David Johnson's Broadway Sound (formerly Quinvy Studios) in Sheffield, Alabama. Among the tracks that were in contention for inclusion on "The Brand New ZZ Hill" album was "Touch 'Em With Love", a recent mini-hit for both Bobbie Gentry and Brook Benton. Even though it's patently unfinished (no strings or horns), it's a great track and it fully deserved its eventual release in the mid-80s in the wake of ZZ's massive success with Malaco Records. As the Mankind door closed, another one opened, when Swamp started Stone Dogg with Henry Stone. The first release, "Who's The Blame", was not a Swamp Dogg production or song. The featured artist, Obediah "Young" Jessie, had co-written "Straight From My Heart" with Swamp. He also wrote "Who's The Blame" with Kent Harris, on whose Romark label the record had originally been issued before being picked up by Stone Dogg. It was not a hit, but it's a fine and very collectable item on both labels. God Bless - Wolfmoon Complication #4 - Arthur Conley Stop Knocking - Ruth Brown Plea #3 (Is It True Boy?) - Eleanor Grant The Other Woman - Eleanor Grant Rockin' Your Baby Now - Eleanor Grant Shu-Doo-Pa-Poo-Poop (Love Being Your Fool) - Helen Curry The final grouping of tracks on this CD give a good representation of Swamp's activities over the rest of the 1970s. Another Virginian, Tyrone Thomas, had been introduced to Swamp by mutual friend Brooks O'Dell. Thomas had been among the support acts for O'Dell at a show in Portsmouth, VA. The older man was impressed enough to recommend Thomas to his pal Swamp, who immediately changed his recording name to Wolfmoon and recorded enough material for an album to be issued on his next label after Stone Dogg, Fungus. The album didn't sell and nor did Tyrone's version of the winsome "God Bless"; Swamp recycled the song with Otis Redding's young son Dexter. Tyrone went on to form the Whole Darn Family, whose recording of "Seven Minutes Of Funk" on the Soul International label provided the break beat behind enough contemporary R&B hits to fill a couple CDs of its own. "God Bless" had been recorded by Arthur Conley (in a version not produced by Swamp) and gave him his last R&B chart hit (#33) in the spring of 1970. Although he was a popular live act, Arthur's uniformly excellent Capricorn 45s stubbornly refused to make any chart impact, despite the fact that they included some of the best Jerry Williams copyrights of the period. As well as the three issued singles - and a fourth, "Stop Knocking", that seems to have been issued in a Conley stronghold, South Africa - several other tracks were recorded to be shelved until they pitched up on a Japanese P-Vine mini album in the late 1980s. "Complication #4" was one of them, and it will be a revelation to anyone who thinks that Arthur Conley was "Sweet Soul Music" and very little else. Swamp recycled "Stop Knocking" almost immediately. With an elongated and sassy rap outro, it became one of the highlights of a largely ignored album by revered R&B queen Ruth Brown. Those who loved Ruth's Atlantic recordings of the 1940s and 50s were delighted by the album, but with disco about to descend on black American music and the resurgence of "Miss Rhythm" as a star of stage and screen some years away, the LP got lost in a very big shuffle. Big-voiced Eleanor Grant was someone else whose career was re-routed by disco. Swamp had produced some initial recordings which led to her being signed by Columbia. One of his productions, the prosaically-titled "Tap Dancing For A Blind Man" - was used as the flip of her first 45 for the label, but other sides that were cut around the same time were never issued. Until now, that is. We're happy to give three excellent Eleanor Grant tracks their CD debut, a mere 30 years or so after they were first committed to tape. The last track in our collection features someone who'd already tasted success earlier in the 1970s as one-third of Chicago soul trio the Independents. Helen Curry had not featured too prominently on their recordings, but she'd recorded as a solo in her native Chicago prior to joining the group and thus was suitably equipped to rise to the challenge when Swamp cut her in 1980 on "Shu-Do-Pa-Poo-Poop (Love Being Your Fool)", a song that had taken Charlie Whitehead to #24 R&B / #106 Pop five summers earlier. Ms. Curry was unable to repeat that success and as far as is known, the record became her vinyl swansong. The Sweetheart label, another Swamp Dogg enterprise, joined its predecessors in mothballs shortly after the record flopped, having survived the issue of only two singles. Even though Swamp Dogg is now at an age where most of us would be content to put our feet up and relax with a nice glass of wine and a good book, he continues to make his own music and to work with other artists who might now be considered "veterans". While these notes were being written, a press release arrived to say that he's just signed Blue Lovett's West Coast version of the Manhattans (featuring Gerald Alston) and that he's about to release the first new album on the group in some years. Not only that, at the dawn of the 21st century he finally embraced the concept of performing live and is now a frequent visitor to Europe. If time is just beginning to try to catch up with Swamp, it will never catch up with the music that he has created - whether single-handedly or in collaboration - during his 60-year love/hate relationship with popular music. Somebody needs to take the blame for all the good stuff that's featured on this CD. Why not the Dogg? --Tony Rounce, 2008

Graphic Design: Leif Laxson (Publishers' Engraving). 11 of the 20 tracks are produced and arranged (or co-produced and co-arranged) by Swamp Dogg (*). Liner Notes: E. Rodney Jones...... that's a name that should roll off the tongues of some of America's greatest record entrepreneurs at night, right after they say "thank you Lord, Amen". This definitely would not be out of place, because before they made it, he was their lord, savior and salvation. When Berry Gordy, Jr. requested a meeting of the strongest Black dj's in America to assist him in making his succession decision from , E. Rodney, the Chicago dj superstar was the first to be contacted. This meeting consisted of the greatest radio illuminaries of that time, Dave Dixon, Georgie Woods, Jack Gibson, George "Boogaloo" Frazier, Jimmy "Early" Byrd, Maurice "Hot Rod" Hulbert, "Jockey Jack" Gibson and Eddie O'Jay. Berry had Smokey Robinson and on Chess where they had just enjoyed a hit entitled "Bad Girl", but Berry was ready to start Tamala records and wanted these programmers to pick the record and the artist that they would get behind and assist him in ascending to the nosebleed height he soon achieved. They unanimously agreed on "Shop Around" by Smokey and the Miracles and history unfolded. Rodney recalls that Berry's funds were so sparse that all of the jocks had to chip in to buy cold cuts for lunch. On the same note...... Motown sent Rodney a new with "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" listed as the "b" side. He immediately informed them that the "b" side was the hit and that's what he was going to play. Over two hundred thousand units were sold in Chicago, the remainder of the country followed and he was given the Golden Ear Award; thus, more Motown history unfolds. Armet Ertegun, Henry Allen, Jerry Wexler and the powers that be at Atlantic records, paid homage to this man in many, many ways because he exposed their blues and rhythm 'n' blues to the second largest record market in the world. They give him the credit for breaking Aretha Franklin's "Never Loved A Man", Ray Charles' "Night Time Is The Right Time" and Wilson' Pickett's "Midnight Hour". Rodney went out on a FCC limb to break Wilson's "Funky Broadway" for them because the word funky was not allowed to be said on the air so Rodney announced it as "Funny Broadway"....another million seller. During his years as a jock and programmer for WVON in Chicago, he was responsible for ninety percent of all of the Black Atlantic hits plus a few of their white/pop/whatever hits, such as the Young Rascals "Groovin", etc. WVON was the most powerful blues station in America and why not, it was owned by the Chess brothers who owned the Chess and Checker labels that housed the greatest blues artist of all times, including Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, , Willie Mabon, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Laura Lee, Eddie Boyd, Clarence "Frogman" Henry, Etta James, Sugar Pie DeSanto, etc., etc. Chess was his employer but he made the decisions as to what was going to be played and he kept it fair with the other blues labels, such as Vee-Jay. Vee-Jay (Vivian and Jimmy Bracken) Records was born about the same time that the Chess brothers bought WVON. Rodney asked Jimmy and Vivian to hold off on their first release until he commenced broadcasting so he could make it his first "pick hit". They did, he did and it was...a gold record smash by Jimmy Reed entitled "Take Out Some Insurance". King Record's branch office was down the street from Chess with acts like James Brown, Hank Ballard & Midnighters, Freddie King, Little Willie John, etc. There was no other place like Rodney's place anywhere near his place...this was the place to be and everybody who was fortunate enough to touch the hem of his garment was blessed multiple times, because he was and is a most generous man. They all flew Rodney into their towns, first class to help them pick their hits. Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff of Philly International, , Russ Regan of 20th Century and...... every fuckin' body else. He was the power...he had the ear and he kept it. He's still picking hits and breaking records on KQXL in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He adopted Louisiana after WVON was sold and the Chicago winters got colder and colder. There are new artists out there now making fortunes and living large and they are attributing their success to E. Rodney Jones' record breaking ability and his foresight to bring them into his town and play them at different venues. We're talking Willie Clayton, Mel Waiters, Lattimore, Wilson Williams, Love Doctor, Betty Wright, Denise LaSalle, Pat Brown, Carl Sims, Marvin Sease, Lee Shot Williams, Franc-O, Stan Mosley, Tyrone Davis, Little Milton, Bobby Rush, Charles Wilson, Jimmy Lewis, Roy C., and many many more. If you haven't heard of some of these greats, it's because their blues has been isolated to the south, southwest and Midwest, the only regions that still gives them decent airplay. Don't feel sorry for them though, because the jocks like Rodney are making it possible for them to live in six thousand plus square foot homes, drive the latest exotic automobiles, own businesses and have high six figure plus bank accounts. Over fifty years in the radio business after starting out as an extraordinary trumpet player, this Texarkana, native played with Jimmy and Joe Liggins' band, the Ernie Fields band where Melvin Moore was the singer, and jammed with Charlie Parker and Earl Grant. Rodney and Parker had a kinship and when Parker's body was shipped to Kansas City to be laid to rest, Rodney was at the funeral home to welcome him home. Another of his dear friends is Buddy Guy who as Rodney puts it, is a worldwide dominant force in the blues. Rodney takes teary-eyed pride in knowing this man when he was a janitor at LSU in Baton Rouge only to return as the world's greatest blues man and sellout the same LSU auditorium. This is just a tidbit about the world's greatest disk jockey but you will be fulfilled soon when he and I complete the co-authoring of his autobiography, tentatively titled "The World's Greatest Disc Jockey". --Swamp Dogg

GOLDEN CREST INSTRUMENTALS FEATURING THE WAILERS (1999, Ace CDCHD 724) Little Jerry Williams - Jerry's Monkey Little Jerry Williams - Miami Dreams Notes: "Jerry's Monkey" track time = 2:48. "Miami Dreams" track time = 2:09. Both songs written by Jerry Williams and published by Jerry Williams Music. Jerry Williams (piano and vocal shouts); probably Joe Jefferson (tenor saxophone); Norman Harris (guitar); rest unknown. The liner notes state, recorded at Frank Virtue's Studio, Philadelphia circa late 1962. Produced by Matt Parsons and Jerry Williams. Swamp revealed the existence of the acetate for these two songs on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 3/16/08: "Miami Dreams (originally Matt's Groove) b/w Jerry's Monkey (originally Jerry's Thing). Artist: Little Jerry. Dated: Approx 1961 / cut at Variety Recording Services (NYC) / recorded at Frank ("Guitar Boogie") Virtue's Studio in Philadelphia." LINER NOTE EXCERPT: In 1962, the young Jerry Williams, later known famously as Swamp Dogg, teamed up with promo man Matt Parsons in Philadelphia. They produced a moonlight session by the hit-making Majors (who had just come off 'A Wonderful Dream') that ended up as a single in the name of the Suburbans on the Shelley label. At this same session, Jerry recorded two instrumentals, 'Jerry's Monkey' and 'Miami Dreams', that see their first-ever release here. 'Jerry's Monkey', in particular, shows that Williams already was in the of the James Brown R&B-to-soul movement.

Chyvonne Scott - It Had To Be You Notes: Since most of the tracks on the compilation are from Swamp Dogg-produced artists this is likely sanctioned by Swamp Dogg for release. Jesse James' "I'm Gonna Be Rich And Famous" was originally released as a single in 1988 on TTED TDE-7-3031: http://www.discogs.com/Jesse-James-Im-Gonna-Be- Rich-And-Famous/release/1222910. It was reissued as a CD single in 2012 by Essential Media Group. The sound of this smells like a Swamp Dogg-produced song though his name is not to be found in the credits. Willie Clayton's "Stay" also has some Swamp Dogg production smells to it, though not quite as clearly. It was originally released on a 12" single in 1988, Warlock WAR 013, which is the label that also released the soundtrack to Ted & Venus: http://www.discogs.com/Willie-Clayton-Rocking-Chair/release/4956091 Norma Jenkins' "Love Jones" was originally released in 1976 on her album Patience Is A Virtue [Desert Moon Records DMS-3200]. Chyvonne Scott's "It Had To Be You" was originally released in the mid-1960s as a 7" single [Alto Records 2011]. It was reissued on a CD compilation of her work in 2012 by Essential Media Group as I'm Moving On: Rare Soul Recordings, and again in 2013 as Legendary Bop, Rhythm & Blues Classics.

IT TAKES TWO: 23 PRIME CUTS OF CLASSIC 60S SOUL AND R&B DUETS, VOLUME 1 (2000, RPM/Shout!/Cherry Red Records Ltd. RPMSH 212) Brooks & Jerry - I Got What It Takes Part 1 Brooks & Jerry - I Got What It Takes Part 2 Notes: Track time for Part 1 = 2:43. Track time for Part 2 = 2:43. Brooks & Jerry = Brooks O'Dell and Jerry Williams, Jr. Written by W. Dixon, published by Jewel Music Ltd. A Musicor/Dynamo recording. Copyright control by Gamble/Ross. Produced by Jerry Williams and Brooks O'Dell. Liner note excerpt: Brooks & Jerry were Brooks O'Dell and Jerry Williams Jr. Brooks' history reveals a Hot 100 hit with Watch Your Step for the minute Gold label in 1963, and I suspect further involvement in vocal groups. Jerry was and is more prolific, both as a label-hopping pioneering soul singer from Philadelphia, and subsequently as a songwriter of prodigious output and R&B social commentator in his alter-ego of Swamp Dogg on a whole host of labels, many of whom seemed to career towards bankruptcy coincident with his arrival! The driving beat of I Got What It Takes reflects the enthusiasm and irony which embroiders most of Jerry's output, and was a modest hit for the duo on Musicor's appropriately-named Dynamo R&B subsidiary. -- Clive Richardson, SOLAR Radio (www.solarradio.com) June 2000

Reissued as part of Miss Rhythm & Miss Blues (2007, S.D.E.G. 1961). Comments by Swamp Dogg from The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 3/14/99: "...following are some facts about my relationship with Ruth Brown: 1. We're from the same hometown, Portsmouth, Virginia and as a little boy I used to stare at her car going by with the thoughts that this was the prettiest woman I'd ever seen and that her records were the greatest. 2. I finally, formally met Ruth in the early 70's while we were both living in Long Island, N.Y. She was working clubs on the weekends and as a maid during the week.....I was at my third career peak. I went out to see her at Sonny's lounge and asked her to sign with me. 3. We went to Muscle Shoals, cut a great session, leased it to Buk Records in the U.K. who went bellyup right after giving me a 50k bogus cashier's check for the rights. Later my attorney made a deal with President (Eddie Kasner), who exploited it to his fullest throughout Europe.....a gratuitous advance was given but royalties still have not been received.....but that's another story. 4. During the same year, while planning a release strategy for the album, Ruth wanted to go to Los Angeles and renew an old friendship with Redd Foxx. I thought it was a good idea, he sent her a ticket and when I heard from or about her again (..although she was under management and production contracts to my companies) she was playing a maid on a sitcom, and giving interviews about how bad I had fucked her, I was the scum of the earth...... you get the idea. 5. Until today, I have not had a chance to speak to her to find out what the fuck became the problem, but I haven't lost over two nights sleep in reference to it." Comments by Ruth Brown from her autobiography [Miss Rhythm: The Autobiography of Ruth Brown, Legend, 1996 Donald I. Fine Books/Penguin Books USA, Inc., New York NY, ISBN 1- 55611-486-9, pages 165-167]: "A guy named Jerry Williams, a.k.a. Swamp Dogg, introduced himself one day. He said I had attended high school in Portsmouth with his mama, that he had worked at Atlantic, and that he would like to produce me. His set-up was impressive. He had a beautiful house in Long Island, with limos and town cars always at the door, and he mentioned a wealthy backer putting up the bulk of the money for his "Ruth Brown project. "I was about to ask to see his line of credit at the bank, eager instead just to grab at whatever straw came along to keep my career alive. The album, with every track written by Jerry, was recorded with only basic rhythm tracks in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The intention, he assured me, was to sweeten it later when his backer coughed up more loot. "A few weeks after returning from Muscle Shoals, Jerry phoned me to say that Mr. Money had backed out. Since the tapes he had were unreleasable in their present state, he told me he had no alternative but to abandon the project. Oh, and a check for $600 for my services was in the mail. I was disappointed but philosophical. He had tried his best, after all. "As soon as that check arrived I rushed across the street to Wheatley Heights, a garage run by a real friendly bunch of guys I'd gotten to know. Owner Joe Caldwell cashed it for me, allowing me to pay off my longest-standing debts. A few days later he called me. The check had bounced. I suggested he re-deposit it, that it must be a mistake. It bounced again. "Frantic, I tried calling Jerry. A machine took every message, but no reply came. I contacted my brother Leonard and asked him to accompany me to his house in Hempstead. I had often visited when the album was in the planning stages, and I had played with Jerry's children in their front room and broken bread in their kitchen. This time was different. When he saw the two of us on his doorstep Jerry went crazy. He screamed at us like a wild man, threatened to set his German shepherds loose and to shoot us if we as much as set foot in his house. Then he slammed and bolted the door in our faces, leaving us standing there, shaking and powerless, completely taken aback at the savagery of his reception. "I had been through a lot, but in many ways this was the worst of all. I had to make amends to Joe at the garage, paying him off slowly, and I was mortified to have been humiliated like that in front of Leonard. A year or so later someone called to say the album, Brown Sugar, was in the stores, and exactly as laid down at Muscle Shoals, no strings added, nothing. Having discovered that Jerry Williams had moved from Long Island, I spoke to his stepfather when I visited Virginia soon afterwards, and asked if he knew his whereabouts. To quote him directly: "Don't ask me.""

Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 2/4/02: "C & Shells were formerly The Sandpebbles ("Never My Love", etc.) and I produced an album's worth of material but it was released as singles only with about five cuts remaining unexposed to the world. "You Are The Circus" charted and sold 50k the first week out based on the fact that I again pushed the envelope and wrote the channel release to say "you don't give a damn about me at all". This language was unheard of and taboo for radio. King Curtis and Henry Allen ordered me to change the line to "You don't seem to care about me at all". As a result, the record died...the impact was gone." In the April 2014 issue of Living Blues Swamp Dogg gives an interview in which he repeats the above comments, indicating that there are 2 released versions of the B-side (the "Plug Side"), "You Are The Circus"; the original version has the line "you don't give a damn about me at all", and the "New Version" (noted on the label) has the line "you don't seem to care about me at all".

Comment by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 10/16/01: "Duane came in the studio one morning immediately after arriving from a tour and said he wanted to sit in. As a result he played on several of the tracks in conjunction with Pete." Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 10/4/04: "The session consisted of some of the greatest new, unexploited players, Robert Popwell, Pete Carr, Johnny Sandlin, Paul Hornsby...these guys were bursting with new ideas and I've always been one to allow a musician to present himself and exploit himself in my productions. Jim Hawkins the engineer was still building on the studio and coming up with new techniques everyday to get a better sound, which he definitely did. Doris was a technician and great to work with in the studio. There were a billion memorable moments that could fill a book and hopefully Pete or some of the others involved will add some comments. Doris' album was recorded non-stop. Everyone, with the exception of me worked and slept in the studio for five or six days before anyone saw daylight. I never slept and we weren't doing any drugs, only coffee to make this happen. When we walked out, everything was complete...rhythm, horns and vocals. I immediately flew to Philadelphia and had Richard Rome do the string arrangements then I flew to Detroit and conducted the strings myself."

Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 11/25/00: "The Greene Sisters of Baltimore, that's how they were usually billed. Please don't blame Richard Rome for the Shaft parallels, I thought that it could be the element to connect gospel and secular e.g., Kirk Franklin, Winans, Take 6, Andrae Crouch , etc., today. I was a little ahead of the game...it was coming but there were still too many old head retail gospel buyers who felt that any music suggested from the secular genre was a sure fire ticket to hell! Some r'n'b stations played it sparsely but I had to curtail that because these same people refused to buy tickets to see a gospel act that was being tainted by r'n'b exposure. This was actually my move to get some converts to gospel. You will notice that the remainder of the cuts stuck to the semi-norm although I was employed a large congregation of musicians. Actually, I was using the Philadelphia Symphony, only without the conductorship of Eugene Ormandy. My rhythm was the real deal Philly sound guys , e. g, Norman Harris, etc. ... the Greene Sisters, which by the way consisted of three sisters, a cousin and two friends. When they were on Hob, the father was part of the group but he bowed out after a heart attack."

Early In The Morning (Collectors Version) [B. Darin and W. Harris] 21. I Think I'd Do It (Collectors Version) [Sam Dees] Notes: Track 21, "I Think I'd Do It (Collectors Version)", has a serious defect. The start of the track is the last 1 minute and 13 seconds of track 20, "Early In The Morning (Collectors Version)", and "I Think I'd Do It (Collectors Version)", which actually begins at 1:15 into the track, has the second half of the song cut off/ommitted; there is only 1 minute and 14 seconds of the song. The complete version can be found on Swamp Dogg Droppin's (2008, S.D.E.G./Catch A Fire CAFCD2008). Track 18, "Put A Little Love In Your Heart (Collectors Version)", is actually the same version as what was released on Velvet Soul [1982, Malibu MR 05820] and Thrill On The (Z.Z.) Hill [1984, Rare Bullet RB- LP-2001]. Track 14 is the original unaltered version from the 1971 sessions. Digitally re-mastered plus 11 bonus tracks and 20 page booklet. The "Collectors Version" tracks are probably the same as the remixed versions that appeared on Velvet Soul [1982, Malibu MR 05820] and Thrill On The (Z.Z.) Hill [1984, Rare Bullet RB-LP-2001]. The one track from these two albums that does not appear here is the instrumental titled "Reprise #69" and "The Z.Z. Thrill" respectively. As per the liner notes: "All of the tracks marked "collectors version" came about when I decided to strip down some of his tracks and add new musicians, technology and mixes."

The male dialogue in the opera is not executed by Z.Z. Hill, but by Bob Carl Bailey, actor, DJ, writer, WZZA radio station owner and of course, Tori Bailey's father. Z.Z. was shy about delivering the dialogue because of the minimal time allotted for him to learn and deliver. We were stumped for a male lead when Carl, unexpectedly stopped by the studio. We agreed to agree and BLUES AT THE OPERA was born. Bob Carl, you and Z.Z. are now in heaven, but I thank God that I had the chance to work with and thank you both on earth. Save me and Norman Jr. a good seat. -- S. Dogg Liner Notes: When I signed Z.Z. Hill, he didn't know what a Swamp Dogg was and could care less. As a matter of fact he didn't even know that he was signed to me. Naturally, I knew who he was and I was a fan, looking forward to meeting for the first time and working forever with this southern soul genius interpreter of the blues. Now here's where the shit gets funky...... Z.Z. was signed to Phil Walden's Capricorn label in Macon, Ga., but due to some disputes, Z.Z. refused to record any additional material for Phil and commenced to sit out his contract. So...Phil, being all about the money, struck a deal with Quin Ivy in Muscle Shoals and sold him the time that was left on Z.Z.'s contract. Z.Z. was reluctant to record for Quin because he was a friend and business associate of Phil's. Nevertheless, the prospects of Quin striking gold lightning a second time for him like he did Percy Sledge, were too good to pass up. They went into the studio and Quin produced and released "Faithful and True" b/w "I Think I'd Do It". The record fell short of everyone's expectations but Atlantic saw some merit in this great artist and leased four sides from Quin. These sides did worse that the record on Quinvy. Of course Atlantic wasn't mad at Quin because they were still raking in the moola from "When A Man Loves A Woman", "Cover Me", "It Tears Me Up" and on and on. This was not a bad lick for a full time schoolteacher, turned part time producer. Sorry....I digress. Z.Z. is now disenchanted with Quin because he feels that Quin's job is to finish destroying his career, per Phil's bidding. Quin, being the gentleman he still is started looking for someone else to produce Z.Z., in hope that this would elate Z.Z. to the point of returning to the studio. He couldn't find anyone that Z.Z. was impressed with and later, he couldn't find Z.Z. Now here's where I come in...... I'm in love with Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the musicians, the people, even the Travel Lodge, where the manager decided I was gay and pushed his way into my room one night with a bottle of liquor, with the intention of sharing a night of amour with him jumping up and down in my ass hole. Suffice it to say that was dead in the water. Robert Popwell, with his good bass playing ass was next door to me. He heard the commotion and came over and helped me and my .38 get him out of my room. Thinking back, a nigger pulling a gun on a redneck in Alabama at the top of the 70's wasn't a thought hatched at Harvard. Anyway, I loved Muscle Shoals. Quin approached me one day and asked me if I would be interested in Z.Z. Hill. I was, especially since he and his brother Matt had successfully saturated the market with "Don't Make Me Pay For His Mistakes", on their Hill label. This record was burning up and actually belonged to Quin, because he was still under contract to him. I bought the contract and all existing masters in perpetuity. Now I'm on my way to meet my act. Z.Z. was appearing in New Orleans and I drove in to meet him formerly and to avail him of the great news, that I, someone he could depend on, had purchased his contract. He refused to meet with me or acknowledge me. He became more pissed at me than he was with Phil and Quin, after he found out that I was friends with and doing business with....both of them. How can I get his attention? With an attorney, of course! I had the firm of Kaplan, Gusick & Wachs, place an injunction on their hit record and freeze all assets at the distributor level. Matt came to the table immediately as the representative for both of them. I leveled with Matt and told him that even though the record was legally mine, I had no intentions of claiming it or its assets. I just wanted to work out an arrangement with Z.Z. to get him into the studio. It took some hard selling but I finally convinced Matt and Z.Z. that I was completely unaware of their problems with Phil and Quin and I was duped. The deal went like this...... I would remove the injunction / Z.Z. would meet me in Muscle Shoals for a week / record an album at Quinvy studio where Quin was in agreement not to show his face during his stay / Z.Z. would learn the material I presented to him and not engage in any lackluster vocal performances / upon release of the records he would agree to two concert engagements with him being notified of the places and times at my leisure and for expenses only / he would be paid the royalty guaranteed in his Capricorn/Quinvy agreement / I would give him an immediate release of contract upon him finishing the last song scheduled in the session. We had a great session, as you can attest to after listening to this cd, and I gave him the release as promised. We hit the national pop and r'n'b singles charts five times and the pop and r'n'b album charts to the tune of top 150's and top 30's respectively. There's only two tracks missing from the Quinvy/Dogg days and hopefully David Johnson or Quin will recover/discover them in time for them to be part of another vital blues reissue that we're planning with some other artist. This compilation is being presented in various stages. The "Blues At The Opera" and tracks 6 through 10 are as they were initially released. Some of the bonus tracks are cuts that were never exposed or underexposed for one reason or another. All of the tracks marked "collectors version" came about when I decided to strip down some of his tracks and add new musicians, technology and mixes. I like some of the shit I did and I hate a few things, but I'll let you be the judge since it now belongs to you...you rate it. My only ego rest with my songwriting, which I feel I'm as great as the greatest but...... sometimes in my productions I feel that I could have done better; another reason for the "collectors versions". Z.Z. and I became damn good friends and his death still makes me wonder why the good guys, the real talented guys, the milestone makers, the ground breakers, the people who become legends in their own time, such as Z.Z. Hill, Otis Redding, Bessie Smith, Sam Cooke, , , , Jim Croce, Joe Tex, Robert Johnson, Nat King Cole, John Lennon, etc., are always whisked away in their musical prime. Nevertheless they leave legends behind that can never be equaled. The people like Z.Z., accomplish and give more innovation and originality to music in fifteen minutes, than all the musical bums and imitators they leave behind could do in fifteen lifetimes. I enjoyed knowing and working with Z.Z. Hill. He was one of the nicest and most sincere people I've ever met or had the God given pleasure to work with.

That's me with the high voice singing in the background and playing piano. Jay J. Jones was a popular night club performer in the Philadelphia area and a good friend of mine." ...

KAKO & HIS ORCHESTRA / MENIQUE Y KAKO - SOCK IT TO ME LATINO (1968, Musicor MS-6049; 1970, Artol ACS-6049; 1998, West Side Latino 4269; 2007, Bomba 24126 [Japan]) Notes: Includes "Kako's Boogaloo" featuring Jerry Williams, Jr. on guest vocals; this song later appeared on the Little Jerry Williams Anthology (1954-1969) [2001, S.D.E.G. 1942]. Kako's real name is Francisco Bastar. Vocalist Menique's full name is Meñique Barcasnegras. The 2007 Japanese reissue has the title punctuation variation Sock It To Me, Latino! Comments by Swamp Dogg regarding the song "Kako's Boogaloo" on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 2/23/02: "Kako was an artist on Musicor International and I was on Musicor. We started hanging out and partying together. He didn't speak any English and I no Spanish, nevertheless we became great buddies in New York. One night while he was recording his album I went into the studio and he asked me to add some soul to track they were completing. I listened and about two hours later we put on all of the vocals, vocalist and musicians simultaneously. That's the way the bands from South America recorded then....everything at once while standing in a big circle. The album charted on the Cashbox and Billboard Pan American charts and did very well for Kako, who was a dance hall favorite in New York, Cuba and all through S.A."

THE KITTENS - Give Me A Shove / Hot Water (1964, Don-El 123, 7" single) Notes: Both sides arranged and conducted by Jerry Williams, Jr. Both sides a Don-El production.

ALTO LEE - Indefinitely // Who Can I Turn To (In The Wind) / Blowin' In The Wind (1966, 8730 Records 101, 7" single) Notes: Produced by Jerry Williams and Richie Rome. Both songs written by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Rick Spain. "Blowin' In The Wind" written by Bob Dylan. Side A track time = 2:25. Side B track time = 2:45. "8730 Records was my label [formed in 1965 {actual date more likely 1966 when JW moved to Miami -- David Chance; comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 3/20/01: "Nick [Nickie Lee] was the reason I first ventured to Miami. He brought me down to play the Continental Club a/k/a King of Hearts (?) for three nights in January '66, and the weather was so good and my record was so hot, I moved my family there immediately and stayed for almost three years. When I bought my house there it was only a five minute walk to Nicki's house, eight minutes from Dave Prater's (Sam & Dave), two minutes from Sir John Henry "the Root Man"".}]. I lived at 8730 North West 16th Avenue in Miami, Florida at the time. We had just moved to Miami. The first recording on the label was by Alto Lee, and it was called 'Indefinitely' [8730 Records 101]. The other side was called 'Who Can I Turn To / Blowin' In The Wind'. I'd taken Bob Dylan's 'Blowin' In The Wind' and a song I wrote called 'Who Can I Turn To' and made up a medley. Alto was out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Alto Lee died on January 23, 2010. Swamp Dogg sent a copy of Alto's one and only record to the Lee family, along with a eulogy: "To: Shari Lee, Lori Lee and the whole wonderful family of Alto Lee. "I met Alto in 1966 but I don't totally recall the occasion. I believe it was at the Embassy Club in Ft. Lauderdale, where I was appearing. Nevertheless, we became instant buddies and commenced working together towards going into the studio and making some records. His voice was unique and powerful. I knew that he could have been another Marvin Gaye, but.....being he was my first artist on my first record label, he and I were in a learning process; meaning we really didn't know what we were doing, or who we were supposed to do it to. "In 1966, we got in Alto's new Thunderbird and drove to Philadelphia, where we recorded his first record, for my 87.30 label. That was the address of my house in Miami...87.30 NW 16th Ave. His session musicians read like a who's who of guys who were destined to become stars in their fields, such as Norman Harris (guitar), Richard Rome of Richie Family (arranger), Joel Fein (engineer), Ronnie Baker(bass) and myself (producer and pianist). There were many others, whom I don't remember, but I do remember that we had a ball recording him at the old Cameo Parkway studio, now the site of Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International Records. "I looked for Alto over the years, but to no avail. I wanted to produce an album on him, after finally learning the business from all sides. I'm so sorry that I couldn't find him, and my heart goes out to all his family and to those who knew him. "I'm sorry that he's passed on and I'm sorry that he had such a struggle in his last days. "I can always visualize him in his stingy brim hat, flashing a toothy smile with his eyes lighting up the room or wherever he happened to be. I am truly sorry about his passing .... I loved him. "He was a proud man with a great voice. I was lucky to have known him. "My love and condolences to all of you." -- Swamp Dogg, January 25, 2010

A 2007 promotional video for "Red Hot Nutz" was produced which included a scene of Swamp Dogg as a peanut salesman.

LINER NOTES by B.B. King: Over the years I have listened to many records and albums of many types of music. As a disc jockey I played many different kinds of sounds, but I guess as an entertainer I pull a little harder for the blues performers because I want them to be heard, played and respected as much as other music is; that is, when it merits it. Lightning Slim's new album I think merits all the qualities that a great artist and a hit album should have. It's some great sounds. This is my opinion. Musically Yours, B.B. King Additional Notes: The 2013 reissue on Alive Naturalsound Records includes Swamp Dogg's recollection on tracking down B.B. King for the above liner notes, along with his own take on Lightnin' Slim: After chasing B.B. around the globe for six months, the above doesn't give me any insight as to how he feels about the recording or the artist. He's a championship skater when it comes to saying nothing about a motherfu**er. After meeting with Sid Seidenberg, his deceased manager, I had to step out of the picture and let my wife (now deceased) Yvonne take over. She was a master when it came to detecting bullsh*t in any situation. Anyway, he finally wrote these watery liners after Yvonne went up to his penthouse suite in a ten star, New Orleans hotel; the Rosemont or some sh*t that had to do with a Mont. I went back to the Ramada, after thinking about leaving my wife with a famous multi-millionaire blues singer. I said to myself, "fu** these liners, I'm going up there". I knocked on the door like a gentleman with my .38 in my shoulder bag. An attendant opened the door and the place was laid out with all kinds of champagne, finger sandwich sh*t, wines, food, etc. Don't get me wrong, I didn't blame him if his goal was what I thought. I just intended to foil the plot, and if Yvonne's hair and clothes were disheveled, I was going to do some damage to both, and maybe (?), jump out the window. Nooooo, fu** that! Upon my entrance and being introduced to him by my wife, he offered me a drink and commenced to write the above notes that could apply to any blues singer. I've produced and written for some great artists in my life and Lightning Slim is in my top ten. He didn't have to be coddled, nursed, etc. He learned the songs and got down to business. He only gave me three days to record him because he wanted to get back to Pontiac, Michigan to get back to his job at a lock factory. This album is as good as most blues albums and better than most. It has the Muscle Shoals, Alabama A-team rhythm section and the horn section that David Johnson (owner / engineer of Broadway Sound) and I assembled, which later became the Muscle Shoals horns. I'll speculate that if Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, , Albert King and Freddy King ever heard this blues album, they would rate Lightning's great delivery, song writing and innovative swamp guitar style in their top ten of authentic blues men. - Swamp Dogg

Both songs are available on Twice As Much For My Baby [2000, Soul-Tay-Shus STS LP 6346], a vinyl LP that also includes another song produced by Swamp Dogg, "Help Somebody" (as per a comment by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 11/22/02).

"Please Open Up The Door" was also released as the B-side to another single, Red Sands 45-701, with the A-side being a non-Botanic track "You're A Blessing". Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 11/29/06: "There's a third cut entitled "Helpless People" that was included on his three song session. Unfortunately it's been lost in the shuffles since 68'. Botanic was a label founded by Lonnie Stanley, a millionaire number banker who owned the "Mr. Wonderful" in Newark and many other bars and residential properties. His partner was Jimmy Vanleer. After putting the company together they couldn't seem to get it off the ground so they hired Don Gardner as their Chief Advisor, who located me and brought me in to head up A&R. I brought in and recorded Gary Bonds, Sir John Henry, Saturday's Crowd and several more including Little Charles, who was managed by Lonnie. I moved up quickly and became vice president after Lonnie and Vanleer dissolved their partnership. Later, Lonnie grew tired of the record business because it was not showing the growth of his other enterprises, so I ended up as owner of the company, masters and publishing interests." Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 4/4/01: "The Little Charles that I recorded is another gentleman from Nashville named Charles Walker. At one point he was a cabaret star throughout the east coast and as Little Charles & Sidewinders."

Bobby McClure has been credited with two gold singles, "Don't Mess Up A Good Thing" on Chess Records with Fontella Bass and "Peak Of Love"; but never an album. After millions of record sales he's offering you his cherry...... LP. It's everything that an adult could hope for musically....and the greatest thing is that this cherry is not a one time occurrence. You can have Bobby's cherry...... LP everytime you get the urge...as he says in "Younger Man Blues", four, five, six times everyday.

MAURICE MCCORMICK & MAGGI - 15 Minutes / The Reeaall Deeaall (1981, Charly [UK] CYS 1078, 7" single) Notes: "15 Minutes" written by Maurice McCormick and produced by Swamp Dogg. "The Reeaall Deeaall" written by Maurice McCormick and produced by Swamp Dogg and Yvonne Williams. Side 1 track time = @3:25. Side 2 track time = @3:57.

MAURICE MCCORMICK & MAJI - 15 Minutes / Reeall Deeall (1981, Atomic Art AA-45001, 7" single) Notes: "15 Minutes" written by Maurice McCormick and produced by Jerry Williams, Jr. (The Swamp Dogg) for European Video-Audio Communications Development, Ltd. Manufactured and distributed by Solid Smoke Records. Side A track time = 3:11. "Reeall Deeall" written by Maurice McCormick and produced by Jerry Williams, Jr. (The Swamp Dogg) and Yvonne Williams. Side B track time = 4:38. From Atomic Art LP 5201 - 15 Minutes. There were two versions released. The first version (probably the 7" single version on Charly) does not have an introductory instrumental. According to Swamp Dogg only about 200 copies of the first version were released. [From Swamp Dogg's comments below, it seems more likely that it was the instrumental intro 12" version that would have only sold @200 copies as it is extremely difficult to locate, whereas the 7" version does show up from time to time.] The second version (probably the 12" version on Atomic Art with a longer track time, 5:55) was edited to include an instrumental intro to the song. Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 8/2/07: ""15 Minutes" was among the top three master deals made at Midem that year (I forget what year). Everybody thought it was great and I was hailed a hero. It was touted as being the savior for the disco clubs. What happened? Something that we all overlooked. The beginning didn't have any music...just spoken word. Imagine, you're on the floor dancing to a hot record...it ends..."15 Minutes" comes on without music...the floor gets empty quick. Later I added music to the intro but by then the cow had left the pasture." Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 8/2/07: "Maurice is a ex, but constantly in character, Navy Seal. He prides himself on knowing a hundred ways to kill you without physical contact." An MP3 copy of this version of "15 Minutes" can be heard at: http://burkleo.seesaa.net/article/76420866.html

MAURICE MCCORMICK & MAJI - 15 Minutes / Reeall Deeall (1981, Atomic Art AA-1201, 12" single) Notes: "15 Minutes" written by Maurice McCormick and produced by Jerry Williams, Jr. (The Swamp Dogg) for European Video-Audio Communications Development, Ltd. Manufactured and distributed by Solid Smoke Records. Side A track time = 5:55. "Reeall Deeall" written by Maurice McCormick and produced by Jerry Williams, Jr. (The Swamp Dogg) and Yvonne Williams. Side B track time = 4:38. From Atomic Art LP 5201 - 15 Minutes. This 12" version of the single is extremely difficult to find. It contains a longer version of "15 Minutes" than what appears on the 7" single version. The start of the song is an instrumental intro, which is a different mix from the 7" version on Atomic Art. This mix includes a synthesizer especially noticeable at the start of the instrumental intro.

Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 9/8/07: "I forgot his name. He was from Jersey, I believe Newark and one of the nicest people you could ever meet. We just called him Pitiful. He really thought that he was Otis Redding and he thought he sounded like Otis. I heard other qualities, that's why I cut "Girl Can't Help It". Brooks O'Dell and I were partners and he discovered Pitiful. We took him up to Clyde Otis who went across the street and got us a budget from Hal Blaine at Jubilee/Josie. We produced two sides on him, but never anymore. His pitch and singing was not up to what I wanted to work with."

He was one of the more popular club attractions in the Philadelphia, New York, Washington D.C. area. There were other local celebrities also, such as Harold Melvin, , , Lynn Hope, etc. Brooks was the most popular, because he had just returned from a successful tour of Europe, with emphasis on Italy. "After Luther Dixon decided to produce the hit 'Watch Your Step' on Brooks, it put him in the company of recording artists whom he identified and socialized with but never had the success of, such as Freddie Scott, Chuck Jackson (his idol), Tommy Hunt, Lenny Welch, Brook Benton and Tony Williams of the Platters. "After an eight year association with Brooks, I signed him to Mankind Records in 1971 and produced his only album. This album's production commenced in 1970, when he and I went to Macon, Georgia and recorded 'Hooked On A Feeling' and 'Predicament #2'. These two cuts were supposed to be released by Scepter, but they never concluded the deal. Later, Lloyd Price released 'Hooked On A Feeling' on Scepter. He was also the person I was negotiating with. He has still remained my dear friend, because I've never felt any viciousness emanating from Lloyd. "All (other) rhythms were cut in Alabama at Broadway Sound, with David Johnson doing the engineering honors. Later we put the strings and voices on at Sigma Sound in Philadelphia, with Richard Rome doing the arrangements and Joe Tarsia at the board. The album was completed at Cameo Parkway studio in Philadelphia, with Joel Fine doing the engineering. "For some unknown reason, the press has eluded him throughout his career, thus keeping him in abject obscurity. Over the years I've heard rumors of his demise, only to thankfully discover that the rumors were false. I tried to contact him today (2 Feb 2008) to no avail, as someone picked up the phone but never spoke..." --Jerry Williams Jr. aka Swamp Dogg Notes: "I Got What It Takes Pts 1 & 2 and 3 (If We Have Time)" includes the extended "part 3" which was previously unreleased. Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 3/24/99: "There's a unreleased (...soon to be released) Brooks O'Dell album that I produced in Muscle Shoals at Broadway Studio with David Johnson engineering of course and George Soule' honoring us with his drumming expertise. George also wrote a couple of the songs." Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 3/25/99 regarding the unreleased Brooks O'Dell album tracks: "...two of the cuts, "Hooked On A Feeling" and "Predicament #2" (ballad) were recorded between 69' and 70', the remainder of the tracks ("Is It Real", "Everybody's Friend Nobody's Lover" (ballad), "Turn My World Around", "Until The Fire Was Gone" (ballad), "Don't Want To Hear It Anymore", "You Can Always Get It Where You Got It" (ballad), "I Don't Want to Cry") were recorded in 72'. Without referring to my files, I know that "Everybody's Friend..." and "You Can Always...." were written by George Soule' with a possibility of one other. "I Don't Want....." is the Chuck Jackson classic (we took this to another Muscle Shoals funk level) and "Hooked" is the Blue Swede smash which I must say we did a motherfucker of a job!!"

THE ORLONS - Anyone Who Had A Heart / Spinnin' Top (1966, Calla 113, 7" single; Planet [UK] PLF 117, 7" single) Notes: "Anyone Who Had A Heart" written by and , produced by Richard Rome and Jerry Williams, Jr., also available on "CamPark Records Volume 4: The Vocal Groups" (200?, CamPark 4004). "Spinnin' Top" was the B-side rather than the A-side, which seems to be a common mistake when this single is listed by others. "Anyone Who Had A Heart" had been a Top 10 hit in the USA for in January 1964.

THE PASSIONS - One Night Affair / A Toast (May There Be No Last Time) (1972, GSF Records 6880, 7" single) Notes: Both songs produced and arranged by Jerry Williams, Jr. "One Night Affair" written by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Charles Whitehead.

Some Mother's Son [Jerry Williams, Jr. and Charles Whitehead] Notes: Jerry Williams, Jr. produced and contributes background vocals and piano. Reissued as part of Miss Rhythm & Miss Blues (2007, S.D.E.G. 1961). Sandra Phillips has made other recordings under her married name Sandra Reaves-Phillips. Liner notes by Swamp Dogg: "Too Many People In One Bed" is a generalization of all the cuts in this album and true life, the way seventy percent of our society lives it. How many women have been guilty of loving another woman's husband? This is an everyday occurrence. How many situations are you aware of where two women get together for an informal gathering and through conversation discovered they shared a vast amount in common; such as the same lover and benefactor?? Through extensive conversation (if one of them can remain cool), sometimes they'll find that their children are related by mutal association... How many times has your mother, sister, or close friend tried to bring a situation to your attention and then blow it out of proportion? For instance, your man drinks and gets drunk every now and then - everybody's man drinks and has been drunk at least once. So what's the issue? The issue is - they don't have a man of their own, if so, he's a monster or a vegetable, compared to yours...they're jealous of what you're doing, basically because they're not doing it and feel that they could do it better. This album is the mirror that will enable you to see what's really going on around you, so that you can "get it together". You will get the solution to your problem - the material acts as a guideline - if you follow what it has to say you'll find it more effective than Hijon the conqueror, sala-faster, fortune tellers, crystal ball gazers, astrology, or the art of "fist to cuff". If you are not living among at least one of the situations contained in the album, then you are either a nun, pervert, degenerate, or dead. That's just how close to contents of this album are to home and family. There has never in the history of recorded music been an album so blunt, to the point, and honest in reference to helping you find your head... The major part of this project could not have been done without Sandra Phillips, the performer; Sandra Phillips, the wife; Sandra Phillips, the mother; Sandra Phillips, the other woman; Sandra Phillips, the human being. She is twenty-four years old, and is happy to be away from Mullins, South Carolina, a place known for "tending to other people's business". Sandra as a performer is so great that another album is being constructed for release shortly after this one, which will show just how diversified Sandra is. She has been working the "Chittling Circuit" down behind the "Cotton Curtain" (for those who still lead sheltered lives) Georgia, Mississippi, Maryland, Alabama, etc. We feel that this album will make her universal - and gain her the respect, fame and wealth as others who have preceded her. Idols? There aren't any!!! In the process of "woodsheding" to ready herself, she missed out on the possibility of copying someone else's style or technique. This is another aspect of the S.P. delivery that will be refreshing and transitional from all the female contemporaries and greats. If a comparison just has to be made, I'd say Clyde McPhatter. This is also an appropriate time to mention that Sandra Phillips is exciting, emotional, colorful, groovy, funky, vivacious, loveable, and electric; every Pop, R & B, Rock, and Acid Act in the world claims one or more of these adjectives - Sandra lives up to them. Right on!! Jerry Williams, Jr. P.S. I wouldn't trade her for a tap-dancing turkey.

LINER NOTES Excerpt: [The Precisions] For their next recording session, Jerry Williams (Swamp Dogg) was in charge and he opted to cut the group at Hit Factory studios in New York. The teaming quickly gelled and recorded "You're The Best (That Ever Did It)" which had been written specially for them. "New York City" was selected to form the A side of their next single, which when issued in April 1969, proved to be their last release. The group still toured but split later that year after a disagreement. They returned to Detroit but shortly afterwards, Michael, Dennis & Billy all quit the music business (by coincidence they all relocated to California).

Hey Jude [1977, Whitehead At Yellowstone, Wizard W1305] (5:39) [John Lennon, Paul McCartney] The track time for "Hey Jude" is slightly longer than the Whitehead At Yellowstone album (5:26), though comparison between the two versions shows them to be the same; probably the LP version speed runs slightly fast and has been corrected on the remastered CD version, thus the difference in track times.

Released under license from SDEG Records. www.alivenergy.com 2013 reissue liner notes by Swamp Dogg: Top Ten on my very best friends list. Charlie Whitehead a/k/a Raw Spitt hails from Smithfield, Virginia; about thirty miles from my hometown, Portsmouth, Virginia. Nevertheless, we didn't meet until 1966 in New York City. I was knocked out by his voice and delivery so I immediately got Musicor Records, who I was working for, to sign him. We cut one single, "How Can I Forget" b/w "Story Of Mr. Pitiful", which was not unusual in those days. If you didn't hit the first time out, your ass was grass and Broadway was the lawnmower. Charlie was doing well financially with his singing partner, Joe Pond, making frequent trips to Europe as Sam & Dave and alone as Ben E. King. In the meantime I signed with Canyon Records and had plans of Charlie being the other Swamp Dogg; that's why the two "t's" in Spitt. Upon release the album started getting play on underground stations, but Canyon went belly-up before sales could be realized. Charlie was on the FTA Tour with Jane Fonda, Dick Gregory, Peter Boyle, Donald Sutherland and I. I signed Charlie to United Artist but that didn't last long. Just a single and they gave me the album back. Charlie's contract called for two albums a year, so they had to pay us for the non-existing album. This gave credence to the axioms, "there's some dumb motherfu**ers in this industry" and "money don't make you smart." We hit it big together in 1974 on Island Records with "Love Being Your Fool." which was also covered by the Staple Singers, Jerry Reed, Coon Elder Band, Travis Womack (top 20 pop) and a few others. Charlie came to me with most of the lyrics and thought they were sh*t and I was not going to record it. He told me that he had adhered to every song and concept that I had suggested, without any success. He was right, so I swallowed my fu**in' ego and let him have his day in court. He was right and I was happy to take credit for this genius change of directions. We have a tremendous past together which includes the writing of Dee Dee Warwick's Grammy nominated "She Didn't Know (She Kept On Talking)". Charlie is in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he's a recent widower, avid gambler who always wins, and a sometime performer. If I divulge more you won't buy my autobiography. - Swamp Dogg

Liner Notes: This album has been a long time in the making and although it has been released all over the world, seen chart action in the U.S. and U.K., it was incomplete. In 1970, Irma and I were on Canyon Records, where I was asked to produce her album, but they wanted a single release immediately - before I could cut a record they wanted a record - talking about driving a motherfucker, they had it in second gear and were pushing it to the floor. I called George McGregor in Detroit, who immediately informed me that he was heading to Muscle Shoals, Alabama the next morning to record Timmy Willis and he'd cut me two funky tracks as the first thing on his agenda. George jumped on a plane to Los Angeles two nights later, played me the tracks - I flipped, wrote "We Won't Be In Your Way Anymore" and "I'd Do It All Over You" within three hours, picked up Irma, brought her back to my place, taught her the songs, went into the studio at ten a.m. the next morning, recorded it, mixed it, and presented it to Canyon three o'clock that afternoon, who had test pressings on the street two days later. Now Irma and I fly to New York to rehearse the album songs at my house. After a week of picking songs and rehearsing we flew to Macon, Georgia and commenced recording at Capricorn Studio. I made the mistake of calling out to Canyon and telling Wally Roker that the album was coming along fantastically. He asked me to send him a 7-1/2 ips reel to reel reference mix - I complied to two decades of sorrow. After receiving it he called Macon, cancelled the remaining studio time and proclaimed the project a smash in its present state. Although I didn't agree, at that moment my ego which was about twice the size of Mt. Vesuvius at that time, led me to believe that since I did it he had to be right. Some extraordinarily insane and elementary politics in which I refused to partake in were going on at Canyon, which caused at least twenty albums to be released before the Irma project. Actually Irma was never released because Canyon folded two weeks before the final scheduled release. Next step - I bought this album along with several other albums from the bankrupt Canyon, and signed Irma to Jerry Williams Productions and Fungus Records, a first label venture for BASF. The album was released, sold about forty thousand and the single "She'll Never Be Your Wife" stayed on the charts for six weeks and sold a hundred and ten thousand. Still no remix - I'm convinced that this album is great because of the critical acclaim and sales, though knowing all the while that it's an unfinished piece of shit. Over the past twenty years this album has sold over a million units worldwide with the help of some of the world's legendary bootleggers and honest independents with some integrity remaining. Keeping all of this in mind, the album still was not the album I set out to do. 1993 - Shanachie - they would like to release the Irma Thomas - Wait! First I'm going to complete the album that I started in 1970 then you can release until you get tired or rich, whichever comes first. I went into the studio for three weeks with some great musicians, stripped the tracks and musically rebuilt the entire project keeping only Irma's vocals, Duane Allman's guitar, my piano and selected performances (see musicians' credits) by the original players. As a result I've finally finished this fuckin' album and now it is as good as I fooled myself into believing it was twenty years back. This album can now be ranked among the best albums cut in the early seventies - I did not attempt to bring it to the nineties, employ hop-hop, rap, urban or any of the other genres that's running wild in the streets today. This was a be-true-to-yourself project and now that it is finished I feel complete and as happy as a sissy with two assholes. Sincerely, Swamp Dogg P.S. "We Won't Be In Your Way Anymore" and "I'd Do It All Over You" became obscure and were never included in the past album releases. P.P.S. I saw Irma in New Orleans in '85 and she didn't have a clue as to who I was, but the main thing is I recognized and recognize her in more ways than one because she was a trill a minute to work with and is always a sexual experience to my ears when I listen to her sing. Maybe we'll do it together again one day - but for starters, I better introduce myself. I love you.... "Irma's album was one of my better albums. As far as I was concerned, I never finished the album in the first place, but Canyon wanted it right away. Before Canyon could get it out, I put it out myself on Fungus ['In Between Tears' on Fungus 25150 in 1973]. Everybody said, it's great, it's great, leave it like it is. Only I knew it wasn't finished. But I didn't tell anybody. Everybody was raving about it. I was not satisfied until I went back into the studio and finished doing what I had planned to do. As you listen to that album [Turn My World Around], you'll find I didn't try to make it the 1990s. I didn't go in there using drum machines and shit. I went in to finish the best album I could make for 1973. ... After finishing the album, I'm convinced that everybody was right...it was finished when I first came out of the studio. There's more soul and performance quality in the original." --Swamp Dogg, from "A Dogg's Tale", 1998/2001 interview with Ray Ellis published in Juke Blues #49.

The word "Chicory" is associated with Jerry Williams, Jr. via Chicory Music publishing (see singles 1964-66). Both sides use the same backing tracks as the Jerry Williams single. Pete Morgan has found the date of release to be 1966, which is consistent with the date recalled by Swamp Dogg, i.e. "circa 1965-66"; see The Airheads Radio Survey Archive: http://www.las- solanas.com/arsa/charts_item.php?hsid=16520

BETTE WILLIAMS - A Feeling For Someone Else Has Grown / Another Man Took My Husband's Place (1971, Gregar 71-0110, 7" single) Notes: Produced and arranged by Jerry Williams Jr. "A Feeling For Someone Else Has Grown" written by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Bette Williams. "Another Man Took My Husband's Place" written by Jerry Williams, Jr., Gary Bonds and Charles Whitehead. Side A track time = 3:04. "She was on Gregar Records. She was supposed to be on Elektra, but it was the time of the cute black woman. She didn't look like a Freda Payne, she was full bodied and dark-skinned. She was from Baltimore. After I cut her, I did something that almost back-fired. I got the contracts made. Elektra didn't have but one black act at the time [in 1971]. When they signed me, they got rid of the Voices of East Harlem. This was the first time they were going to have 2 black acts. But they didn't want the girl to look black. They wanted her to look very fair. It just wasn't going to work, so I just got distressed and gave the album to my wife. I said, 'Look, this is your album. Go sell it. Whatever you get off of it is yours.' So, she messed around with it and got it to George Grief who owned Gregar, distributed by RCA. I think they gave her $25,000. They put out a bunch of singles, but the album never came out." --Swamp Dogg, from "A Dogg's Tale", 1998/2001 interview with Ray Ellis published in Juke Blues #49.

Liner Notes: JERRY "SWAMP DOGG" WILLIAMS Jr. Jerry is almost a living legend in the soul and R & B field, and has been working actively in the business for over fifteen years. As a journalist recently pointed out, all of Jerry's work seems to create that indefinable charismatic quality, as a result of his production techniques. Jerry's production work with other artists has resulted in several northern soul classics in the U.K., but Jerry, as a solo performer, has succeeded in building a reputation over the years in the soul and R & B field. His catalogue of solo albums must now be close to ten. In the production field, his reputation reached a peak when he worked on Doris Duke's soul classic "I'm The Other Woman To The Other Woman". Jerry has also worked with artists such as: Millie Jackson; Arthur Conley; Z.Z. Hill; Little Beaver; Patti LaBelle, and Charles Whitehead, but one must never forget Jerry's own unmistakable vocal abilities, which have made his many solo albums so powerful. Pinnacle bring the Jerry Williams story up to date by producing for the U.K. market this brand new album which comprises five tracks by Jerry on one side and five by his soulful daughter, Michelle Williams, on the other. Jerry produced the whole album. On Jerry's side, his performances include variations of the old Sam & Dave classic, "Hold On I'm Coming", and the well known Soul Brothers Six number, "Some Kind Of Wonderful". Michelle performs well on side two, providing a selection of up-tempo and funky soul numbers that are tailor made for the dance floor. Four of the songs were penned by Jerry, but the fifth is a variation of Bettye Swann's soul classic, "Make Me Yours". Tony Berry - Pinnacle Records

"Mad Love" is also available on Ted & Venus: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [1992, Warlock/S.D.E.G. WARCD-2734]. LINER NOTES [probably Swamp Dogg]: Although still relatively new to the American record market, Michelle Williams was the toast of Italy, Spain and England in 1980 because of the huge success of her "Give Me Back My Love" LP and "Now" single, which appeared on DJM (England), Atomic Arts (Italy/Spain) distributed by PANA and Marfer respectively. A twenty-one year old sophomore at Pierce College (Woodland Hills, Ca.), majoring in drama, costume designing and make-up. The classic Gemini, moody/groovy, wet/dry, rainy/sunshiny, lovable/--(smile). This album could have easily been titled Gemini because it shows the many moods of the lady. Even the album cover reflects her unpredictability. This lady's voice is totally different from anyone. She is not a copy - doesn't want to copy because she's still young enough to possess that cockiness of "let em' copy me" "I'm as unique as the most unique"...Let's face it, she has made believers of three countries - next the World. Co-starred in a two hour T.V. Special emanating from Torino, Italy and seen as far as Monaco. To call her beautiful is an understatement, Michelle is what God created eyes for...and she can sing.

Comments by Swamp Dogg on The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 10/17/00: "Wolfmoon is an artist from Richmond Virginia also known as Little Tommy. I recorded him first in Philadelphia in 64' but before I could release the record he went back to Richmond and signed with Mr. Wiggles' label, released my master. I did not hold that against him so when I got my BASF distributed Fungus label I resigned him and released the album that I cut in 69' and leased to Capitol, who decided that the public wasn't ready for a pop gospel album."

X-MAS BALLS - She Left Me For Rudolph (2000, S.D.E.G. 1944-CD, CD single) 1. She Left Me For Rudolph (radio mix) (4:07) [Jerry Williams, Ned McElroy and Robert Morris, Jr.] 2. She Left Me For Rudolph (club mix) (4:08) [Jerry Williams, Ned McElroy and Robert Morris, Jr.] 3. Foggy X-mas Breakdown (2:28) [Ann McElroy and Ned McElroy] Notes: Produced by Swamp Dogg and Ned McElroy. "She Left Me For Rudolph (radio mix)" is similar to track 1 of the X-Mas Balls CD (2004, S.D.E.G./Moon & Stars Studio SDEG 1953), however this version doesn't have the acoustic guitar up front in the mix as on the album version. "She Left Me For Rudolph (club mix)" may be the same version as on the X-Mas Balls CD (2004, S.D.E.G./Moon & Stars Studio SDEG 1953), though the acoustic guitar is slightly subdued in the mix and the track opens with Monty Lane speaking the line "I'm on the back porch." "Foggy X-mas Breakdown" appears to be the same as on the X-Mas Balls CD (2004, S.D.E.G./Moon & Stars Studio SDEG 1953), though the recording levels seem to be much lower.

The video was posted by "27crackerjack", and includes a photo of a man with a backdrop of a double Guyana flag. 27crackerjack has also posted several videos credited to "Cracker Jack & Patches", a duo who released a few 12" vinyl records in 1987 on Impact!, a record label out of Brooklyn NY. The track time of the song is 4:43 minutes. YouTube links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMesP7qiKzw http://www.youtube.com/user/27crackerjack

FLOYD CRAMER - She's All I Got [instrumental] - @1972, unknown

BOB DYLAN - Sidewalks, Fences And Walls [4 takes, unreleased] - bootleg: March 5, 1987 Sunset Sound Studios, Hollywood, California Notes: "The song was produced by David Briggs, best known for his production work with Neil Young. ... The recording...includes studio chatter between Dylan and Briggs. ... A studio log from the time lists a song identified merely as 'Side Walks' and suggests Dylan was accompanied by Jesse Ed Davis (guitar), Gary Ray (clarinet), Robert Tsukamoto (bass) and Mark A. Schatzkammer (drums)." http://www.nme.com/news/bob-dylan/26269 "I believe the keyboard player is William "Smitty" Smith, a guy who I grew up with in Virginia and taught to play piano. He must have played Dylan the Soloman Burke version which he and I both played keyboards on. I hear Dylan saying "Soloman loves Mary". This is amazing...just to hear Dylan singing my lyrics." -- Swamp Dogg, private email March 26, 2008 "...one of the greatest honors of my music career, Bob Dylan singing my song, "Sidewalks Fences and Walls". My educated guess is that Dylan's keyboard man was Williams "Smitty" Smith, a guy I grew up with and taught to play the piano. Dylan is actually singing from the version I produced on Soloman Burke; using Soloman's riffs, runs and inflections. I've never heard him this soulful nor have I ever heard him take on an r'n'b song this intricate. To be able to add Dylan to my list of who recorded my songs is part of my dreams coming true. Too bad it hasn't been released commercially." --Swamp Dogg, The Southern Soul List (Yahoo) 3/26/08

ANDRE WILLIAMS - Swamp Dogg's Hot Spot - Hoods And Shades [2012, Bloodshot Records BS 185] Notes: A song written by Andre Williams which is supposedly a tribute to Swamp Dogg; Williams commented in an interview: "In that song "Swamp Dogg's Hot Spot" you tell a story from way down south. How do you pull those images together? "If you've ever been down to Louisiana, it has this mystique that no other state has. It's swampy, wet and mysterious. It's that voodooism. I don't know if that's a word, but that's Louisiana. That was my concept. I thought about a bunch of swampy people going to a funky blues house. Can you imagine that? Maybe 20 guys, getting into their old 1957 station wagon, going into the woods to a real swampy night club, just one microphone, one loud speaker, maybe 14 tables and big buckets of beer. I just added a little sugar to the story, to make it palatable." http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/rftmusic/2012/05/andre_williams_proto_rapping_interview.php

This section contains selections by artists noted on Swamp Dogg's "resume". These artists may have recorded covers of a Swamp Dogg song, had input from Swamp Dogg as producer, co-producer or executive producer, a guest appearance from Swamp Dogg on vocals and/or keyboards, or some other form of involvement by Swamp Dogg. I am trying to track down specifics on all of these. If you can help out, please let me know. Thanks! [email protected] Also included here are selections from other artists that do not have any Swamp Dogg involvement whatsoever, although frequently noted as such on the internet. Miscellaneous items are also included here which are difficult to place in other sections of the discography.

LYRICS: ======

I FINALLY FOUND MYSELF SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT --Jerry Williams, Jr. [transcribed by ear]

I finally found myself something to sing about And oh, that's all I'm gonna do I finally found myself something to sing about And all I'm gonna sing about is you

People sing about mountains, birds and trees But none of these things seem to interest me 'Cause all I want to sing about is you

Heard songs about fire and rain and alcohol How to mend a broken heart, I don't know what all But all I want to sing about is you

You've given me a melody That I'll sing until the day I die And on that day as they carry me away I'll have all the angels singin' it in the sky

(Spoken) And if ya' listen carefully you'll hear them chantin')

I finally found myself something to sing about (Aw, sing it pretty) Oh, that's all I'm gonna do I finally found myself something to sing about All I'm gonna sing about is you

[Instrumental Break]

Just wanna sing About my baby Sing, sing Lord, she's wonderful Let me sing The girl is wonderful I wanna sing About my woman About my woman [fade out]

SYNTHETIC WORLD --Jerry Williams, Jr. [transcribed by ear]

Hey you, I'm up from the bayou. Where wild life runs free, you could say that I'm country, but let me tell you what I see.

Your world is plastic, can see through to the other side. Your cities are made of wood - antiques are what you got inside.

Houses of paper but folks don't hear a word you say. Friendship's like acid - it burns as it slides away. So you see, my patience is growing thin with the synthetic world we're living in.

The word "imitation" on labels across the nation - what's real has become a freak. Someone's trying to make me weak. Strange initials to keep me blind. Psychedelic music to blow my mind. So you see, my patience is growing thin with the synthetic world we're living in.

Spray to clear the air, air to clear the spray making people die every day, and now I find I'm out of place if I only have one face. All my friend have more than two - no longer must you be you. They found out how to transplant maybe "has" replaced "can't". So you see, my patience is growing thin with the synthetic world we're living in.

THE WORLD BEYOND --Bobby Goldsboro [transcribed by ear]

I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond And I was born after they dropped the bomb I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's knee And he told me of the world that used to be

Tell me again how it used to be Did grass really grow, and what was a tree Did rain really fall from the sky What a shame that it all had to die
