  • For Hodges, Music's 'All About Love' : Go Memphis
    For Hodges, music's 'all about love' By Bob Mehr Thursday, July 21, 2011 Charles Hodges has seen the light twice in his life. The first time was as a 13-year-old boy, performing at his eighth-grade graduation. "The teacher asked me if I would play 'What I'd Say' by Ray Charles. I did and got such huge cheers, a standing ovation. All I could see was the (stage) lights, but I could hear the applause and the whistles," says Hodges. "Right then I said, 'This is what I want to do. I want to be a musician.'" Some 40 years later, Charles Hodges saw the light again; this time it was God sending out a signal to change his ways. Hodges would do just that, giving up his secular music career and becoming an ordained minister. In between those two life-altering events, Hodges was responsible for some of the most vital and familiar sounds in all of American music. As the keyboardist for Memphis' Hi Records house band, his signature organ work colored the great hits of O.V. Wright, Al Green, Ann Peebles and Syl Johnson. This past week Hodges released his second solo CD, God He's Able, a collection of soulful spiritual and worship songs. For the 64-year-old Hodges, the record is just another marker in a long musical journey and personal journey. The sixth of 12 children, Hodges was raised in what were then the farm lands of post- World War II Germantown. "It was just a two-lane highway out there," recalls Hodges.

  • A Piece of History
    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.

    OTIS CLAY BIO Born February 11, 1942 in Waxhaw, Miss., Otis Clay grew up in a thoroughly sanctiFied environment. “LiKe most traditional blacK Families, Church was a big part oF my liFe not just the religious aspect but the social, it was the center oF our community. As Kids we imitated what we saw and heard in the church, that was how the singing thing started.” Gospel would remain Otis’ primary Focus after arriving in Chicago during the mid-‘50s, He joined the Golden Jubilaires, then hooKed up with Charles Bridges’ Famous Blue Jay Singers in 1960. “Here we are singing acappella, and we’re singing in elementary schools, high schools, hotels and colleges and things liKe that,” says Clay. “We were Known as variety singers, or we were billed as (perForming) ‘Old Negro Spirituals and Plantation Melodies.” “AFter the Blue Jays, it was the Holy Wonders. AFter the Holy Wonders, then it was the Pilgrim Harmonizers. AFter the Pilgrim Harmonizers was the Gospel Songbirds, which was a very important group that I was in at that time. And From the Gospel Songbirds, I went to the Sensational Nightingales.” Even as he sang spirituals, Clay cut an unissued R&B session For Columbia with producer Carl Davis. The One-derFul Records deal came about after I leFt Columbia. Cash McCall (Maurice Dollison) who I was in several Gospel groups with, was signed to One-derFul! and he introduced me to the label. It was cool because it was a hip independant label, located on South Michigan Avenue in the heart oF Record Row.
