  • Lightnin' Hopkins
    Lightnin' Hopkins Samuel John "Lightnin'" Hopkins (March 15, 1912 – January 30, 1982) was an American country blues singer, songwriter, guitarist, and occasional pianist, from Centerville, Texas. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 71 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. The musicologist Robert "Mack" McCormick opined that Hopkins is "the embodiment of the jazz-and-poetry spirit, representing its ancient form in the single creator whose words and music are one act". Life Hopkins was born in Centerville, Texas, and as a child was immersed in the sounds of the blues. He developed a deep appreciation for this music at the age of 8, when he met Blind Lemon Jefferson at a church picnic in Buffalo, Texas. That day, Hopkins felt the blues was "in him".He went on to learn from his older (distant) cousin, the country blues singer Alger "Texas" Alexander. (Hopkins had another cousin, the Texas electric blues guitarist Frankie Lee Sims, with whom he later recorded.) Hopkins began accompanying Jefferson on guitar at informal church gatherings. Jefferson reputedly never let anyone play with him except young Hopkins, and Hopkins learned much from Jefferson at these gatherings. In the mid-1930s, Hopkins was sent to Houston County Prison Farm; the offense for which he was imprisoned is unknown. In the late 1930s, he moved to Houston with Alexander in an unsuccessful attempt to break into the music scene there. By the early 1940s, he was back in Centerville, working as a farm hand. Hopkins took a second shot at Houston in 1946. While singing on Dowling Street in Houston's Third Ward (which would become his home base), he was discovered by Lola Anne Cullum of Aladdin Records, based in Los Angeles.

Dorf, Ph.D. April 2020 Abstract Recognized nationally as the funk capital of the world, Dayton, Ohio takes credit for birthing important funk groups (i.e. Ohio Players, Zapp, Heatwave, and Lakeside) during the 1970s and 80s. Through a combination of ethnographic and archival research, this paper offers a pedagogical approach to Dayton funk, rooted in the styles and works of the city’s funk legacy. Drawing from fieldwork with Dayton funk musicians completed over the summer of 2019 and pedagogical theories of including black music in the school curriculum, this paper presents a pedagogical model for funk instruction that introduces the ingredients of funk (instrumentation, form, groove, and vocals) in order to enable secondary school music programs to create their own funk rooted in local history.

  • James Brown - Get on the Good Foot: a Dance Celebration October 25 10:29 2013 by Jermaine Rowe
    BWW Reviews : James Brown - Get on the Good Foot: A Dance Celebration October 25 10:29 2013 by Jermaine Rowe "Give the people what they came for" James Brown said in reference to his shows, and it seemed that the Apollo set out to do just that on the opening night of "James Brown - Ge t on the Good Foot" dance celebration concert in Harlem. It was fitting that the concert opened with a welcome speech by Rev. Al Sharpton , given the historic relationship between the Apollo Theatre and James Brown . Sharpton reflected on his connection with Brown on the very stage that we were about to experience the evening's performance. The hour-long performance that followed showcased a variety of choreographers exploring the music of James Brown , danced by the Philadelphia Dance Company (PHILADANCO) and three (3) non-affiliated featured soloists. The show opened with a dynamic and exciting sound play with music and voice -overs of Brown that was effective in setting up the scene for the legacy that was being honored. The fault of the program, however, was that you ended up watching the first three choreographers before you realized that the show was not going to have breaks between each work. This made the flow seem unorganized and unclear. Despite this, "Too Funky," choreographed by Otis Sallid , saw a vibrant, young, and talented group of dancers let loose to the funky sounds of a well- arranged set of songs. The team did such a great job of setting up the excitement of the evening that I found myself a little disappointed by the lack of structure in Sallid's work.

  • James Brown Is Alive!
    James Brown Is Alive! Matt Stauffer [=\ [=\ [=\ WRITER’S COMMENT: On the first day of class Seth asked us what kind of music we like. I’ve always been a huge James Brown fan (anyone who can list what he had for dinner and call it a song is all right by me). That he had recently died helped me decide that I would find some way to write about him. But explaining his importance to poetry and orality was difficult. It was a case of knowing James Brown is an important figure, but not knowing how to explain it. The solution was simply to listen to music, and hear James Brown’s influence, and hear what his influences were. People like Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Wilson Pickett, Heavy D and a bunch of others came up, and from there it was just a matter of searching out the right information to help connect those dots. Also, I’m a big fan of the word “eschew.” —Matt Stauffer INSTRUCTOR’S COMMENT: My most immediate reaction to Matt Stauffer’s work in this essay was admiration for his ability to bridge disciplines, bringing together African American history, musicology, literary history, and close reading. As his instructor for English 4, I can see the way he integrates his reading in sound poetry and the theories of Walter Ong and Roland Barthes with his long-standing interest in funk, soul and hip-hop, the truly popular poetries of our era since the 1960s. His willingness to take seriously the ‘get back’-s and ‘hit me’-s of James Brown—sounds we usually hear but do not listen to—indeed enlivens our experience of the Godfather of Soul.

  • Sonny Terry & Brownie Mcghee “Folk Alive” May 1, 1974 Host: Good
    Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee “Folk Alive” May 1, 1974 Host: Good evening. This is “Folk Alive”. Several weeks ago I went to see Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee at theBrooklyn Academy of Music. After the show I got a chance to speak with them for a little while and tonight’s program is the first half of that interview interspersed with some of their songs. Sonny and Brownie have been playing the blues together for 36 years and are perhaps the lone survivors of that blues era. I asked them if their music has changed much in that time. First we’ll hear Sonny, harmonica player and vocalist, and then Brownie, guitarist and vocalist. Sonny: …my music changed. The only change it was I got better. I know I can play better than I was ten, eleven, twelve years ago. I ain’t call that change. I ain’t never change my music. Brownie: You know, I couldn’t change. I’ll tell you why, I don’t see any reason to change now. I’ve got so many records out, and I identify with my records. So now if I wanted to get into another bag it would be, I think it would be very strange for me to change after forty years. What you gonna change for? I’m on a solid rock. But I don’t think what I’m doing is… Host: I think what you’re doing is a lot more honest. Brownie: And it’s much better for me because I can identify with it.

  • Guy Davis & Fabrizio Poggi
    Guy Davis & Fabrizio Poggi The Last Train Tour 2017 – A look back at Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry “Guy Davis; he’s straight out of New York, and he’s America’s greatest link to the blues right now” windsor star, ontario, canada “Fabrizio Poggi is a terrific Italian harmonica player” dan ackroyd, the blues brothers Guy Davis & Fabrizio Poggi The Last Train Tour 2017 – A look back at Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry Guy Davis once said, “I like antiques and old things, old places, that still have the dust of those who’ve gone before us lying upon them.” Blowing that dust off just enough to see its beauty is something Guy has excelled at for over twenty years of songwriting and performing. It’s no wonder his reverence for the music of the Blues Masters who’ve gone before him has been evident in every album he’s ever recorded or concert he’s given. Guy has had his musical storytelling influenced by artists like Blind Willie McTell and Big Bill Broonzy, and his musicality from artists as diverse as Lightnin’ Hopkins and Babatunde Olatunji. However, there’s one man that Guy most credits for his harmonica techniques, by stealing and crediting from him everything that he could, and that man is the legendary Sonny Terry. Guy’s new album, ‘Sonny & Brownie’s Last Train – A Look Back at Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry’ is an homage to these two hugely influential artists, not only on Guy’s career, but to thousands of musicians around the world. One such artist is the Italian harmonica ace, Fabrizio Poggi, who collaborates with and produced this recording.

  • Notes to Flyright LP 4705 "New York Country Blues"
    _ YORK COUNTRY BLUES Higration patterns showing movements of negroes from rural to urban settlements and from South to North and West have not only helped to interweave regional blues styles but have frequently concentrated artists from specific southern rural areas into certain ei ties . Obvious routes 11e westwards from Texas and the Southwest into California; from the Deep South of the Mississippi bottomlands and Alabama to Chicago _ perhaps the hest documented of all - and from the southeastern states to New York. :lUl selections on this anthology typify the general drift from rural southern communi ties into the New York metropolis. Sometimes the rural roots are more in evidence but nowhere are the compldte urban influences which dominated the blues in the e1 ty by the 1960s. These sides from the 1940s and 19508 show the breadth and wealth of musical talent in this city of supposed greater opportunity in the immediate postwar years - and the bulk reflect the gentle, lH ting sounds of the southeastorn states. Some of the artists had moved into the city some time before they r ocorded there. Alec Seward has made his home there since 1 924, although his first journoy to the city was in 1922. From Newport News, Virginia, Seward recalls many fine artists from the Chesapeake Bay area (none of whom have ever been recorded) yet it waB with the rougher­ voiced Louis &yes, a guitarist from North Carolina, that he teamed up in 1947. Their two-guitar sides epitomise the relaxed and deceptively languid blues style of the Piedmont, issued as the Back Porch Boys, this pseudonym was merely one of many colourful ones that were used on their releases.
