    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh

    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 20 BE MY BABY, The Ronettes Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 116 1963 Billboard: #2 DA DOO RON RON, The Crystals Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 112 1963 Billboard: #3 CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME), Darlene Love Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 119 1963 Did not make pop charts To hear folks talk, Phil Spector made music out of a solitary vision. But the evidence of his greatest hits insists that he was heavily dependent on a variety of assistance. Which makes sense: Record making is fundamentally collaborative. Spector associates like engineer Larry Levine, arranger Jack Nitzsche, and husband-wife songwriters Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich were simply indispensable to his teen-art concoctions. Besides them, every Spector track featured a dozen or more musicians. The constant standouts were' drummer Hal Blaine, one of the most inventive and prolific in rock history, and saxophonist Steve Douglas. Finally, there were vast differences among Spector's complement of singers. An important part of Spector's genius stemmed from his ability to recruit, organize, and provide leadership within such a musical community. Darlene Love (who also recorded for Spector with the Crystals and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans) ranks just beneath Aretha Franklin among female rock singers, and "Christmas" is her greatest record, though it was never a hit. (The track probably achieved its greatest notice in the mid-eighties, when it was used over the opening credits of Joe Dante's film, Gremlins.) Spector's Wall of Sound, with its continuously thundering horns and strings, never seemed more massive than it does here.
  • Edward “Kid” Ory

    Edward “Kid” Ory

    Edward “Kid” Ory Mr. Edward “Kid” Ory was born in Woodland Plantation near La Place, Louisiana on December 25, 1886. As a child he started playing music on his own homemade instruments. He played the banjo during his youth but his love was playing the trombone. However, the banjo helped him develop “tailgate” a particular style of playing the trombone. By the time he was a teenager, Ory was the leader of a well-regarded band in southeast Louisiana. In his early twenty’s, he moved to New Orleans with his band where he became one of the most talented trombonists of early jazz from 1912 to 1919. In 1919, Ory relocated to Los Angeles, California for health reasons. He assembled a new group of New Orleans musicians on the West Coast and played regularly under the name of Kid Ory’s Creole Orchestra. There, he recorded the 1920s classics “Shine,” “Tiger Rag,” “Muskrat Ramble,” and “Maryland, My Maryland.” In 1922, he became the first African American jazz bank from New Orleans to record a studio album. In 1925, Ory moved to Chicago and took interest in working on radio broadcasts and recording with names such musicians as Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Johnny Dodds, and many others. During the Great Depression, Ory left music but returned in 1943 to lead one of the top New Orleans style bands of the period until 1961. It was about 1966 when Ory retired and spent his last years in Hawaii. He did, however, play occasionally for special events. One of his last performances was in 1971 when he surprised everyone by coming back to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Peoples The Original Stamps Quartet: Palmer Wheeler, Roy Wheeler, Dwight Brock, Odis Echols, and Frank Stamps. Courtesy of Crossroads of Music Archive, Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, Echols Family Collection, A Diverse forms of religious music have always been important to the cultural fabric of the Lone Star State. In both black and white communities, gospel music has been an influential genre in which many musicians received some of their earliest musical training. Likewise, many Texans have played a significant role in shaping the national and international gospel music scenes. Despite the importance of gospel music in Texas, little scholarly attention has been devoted to this popular genre. Through the years, gospel has seen stylistic changes and the 25 development of subgenres. This article focuses on the subgenre of Southern gospel music, also commonly known as quartet music. While it is primarily an Anglo style of music, Southern gospel influences are multicultural. Southern gospel is performed over a wide geographic area, especially in the American South and Southwest, although this study looks specifically at developments in Northwest Texas during the early twentieth century. Organized efforts to promote Southern gospel began in 1910 when James D. Vaughn established a traveling quartet to help sell his songbooks.1 The songbooks were written with shape-notes, part of a religious singing method based on symbols rather than traditional musical notation. In addition to performing, gospel quartets often taught music in peripatetic singing schools using the shape-note method.
