Born Jessica Ellen Cornish, she grew up in a London suburb and graduated from the BRIT School, a noted incubator for precocious talent. Her lively mix of pop and R&B is appropriate for an artist who cites Aretha Franklin and Prince as major infl uences.

  • Donald Duck Dunn Whilst We Continue Our Run of Looking
    Donald Duck Dunn Whilst we continue our run of looking at influential bassists, many readers may be unfamiliar with Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn, or so you may think. Ex.1 may change your mind about whether or not you are familiar with the brilliance of Duck Dunn. Ex.1 is obviously the theme to the Blues brothers movie, known as The Peter Gunn theme, many a new bassists first learnt tune (if you are still unfamiliar, immediately put the magazine down, and ask mum and dad if you are allowed to go and watch The Blues Brothers). Duck Dunn, a 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, is best known for pioneering the Stax sound, through his bottom end handywork with Booker T. & The M.G. ‘s. The M.G. ‘s were the house band for Stax records, a company that produced artists such as Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas, Eddie Floyd, and William Bell. Dunn also layed it down for greats such As Elvis, Clapton and Neil Young. Whilst most of us are likely to be aware of the Motown sound, the not-quite-as-talked- about Stax sound was considered a less polished southern counterpart, to the Detroit based sound that James Jamerson pioneered. Many of Dunn’s lines are based around locking in a solid unwavering groove, often repetitive and simple 2 bar phrases, designed to get the head nodding and toes tapping. Dunn utilized a 58 P-bass strung with flats throughout his career, which Fender went on to develop as an artist series bass. In my opinion,Dunn defines the P bass sound, and whenever I try out a P-bass, Ex.2 is always the line I play to see how close a sound I can get to Dunn’s.

  • Steve Cropper | Primary Wave Music
    STEVE CROPPER facebook.com/stevecropper twitter.com/officialcropper Image not found or type unknown youtube.com/channel/UCQk6gXkhbUNnhgXHaARGskg playitsteve.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cropper open.spotify.com/artist/1gLCO8HDtmhp1eWmGcPl8S If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T, and the MG’s built.” Integral to that potent combination is MG rhythm guitarist extraordinaire Steve Cropper. As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

  • “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (Guest Post)*
    “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (guest post)* The Temptations, c. 1964 The Temptations’ 1964 recording of “My Girl” came at a critical confluence for the group, the Motown label, and a culture roiling with the first waves of the British invasion of popular music. The five-man cell of disparate souls, later to be codified by black disc jockeys as the “tall, tan, talented, titillating, tempting Temptations,” had been knocking around Motown’s corridors and studio for three years, cutting six failed singles before finally scoring on the charts that year with Smokey Robinson’s cleverly spunky “The Way You Do the Things You Do” that winter. It rose to number 11 on the pop chart and to the top of the R&B chart, an important marker on the music landscape altered by the Beatles’ conquest of America that year. Having Smokey to guide them was incalculably advantageous. Berry Gordy, the former street hustler who had founded Motown as a conduit for Detroit’s inner-city voices in 1959, invested a lot of trust in the baby-faced Robinson, who as front man of the Miracles delivered the company’s seminal number one R&B hit and million-selling single, “Shop Around.” Four years later, in 1964, he wrote and produced Mary Wells’ “My Guy,” Motown’s second number one pop hit. Gordy conquered the black urban market but craved the broader white pop audience. The Temptations were riders on that train. Formed in 1959 by Otis Williams, a leather-jacketed street singer, their original lineup consisted of Williams, Elbridge “Al” Bryant, bass singer Melvin Franklin and tenors Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams.

  • The Mid-South Coliseum 996 Early Maxwell Boulevard Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee
    The Mid-South Coliseum 996 Early Maxwell Boulevard Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee Text by Carroll Van West, 2000 Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Mid-South Coliseum has extraordinary local significance in the modem history of entertainment/recreation and the music history of Memphis. Developed and constructed between 1960 and 1964, the Mid-South Coliseum was the first public auditorium in Memphis to be planned as an integrated facility, rather than a so-called "separate but equal" segregated building. Performances before integrated audiences occurred there as soon as the building opened in 1964, and its period of significance extends to 1974, when Elvis Presley gave his first Memphis concerts in over a decade at the coliseum and recorded a live album there It is the only extant building In Memphis where such significant musical groups as The Beatles, The Stax-Volt Record Revue, Ike and Tina Turner, The Who, Led Zepellin, The Rolling Stones, James Brown, and Elvis Presley performed during their period of significance in American popular music and as such, the coliseum served as a center for cultural expression among Memphis youth, both white and black. Building a Modern, Integrated Coliseum in an Era of Racial Conflict Planning for a new, modern auditorium for the Mid-Sout Fairgrounds in Memphis began in late 1959. Brown v. Board of Education (1954) had been the law of the land for five years, but Memphis, like most other major Southern cities, had moved only slightly toward anything but token compliance with the end of the legal justification for Jim Crow segregation.
