  • Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds for Our Purposes, The
    "KICK OUT THE JAMS!" Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds For our purposes, the story of Detroit rock & roll begins on September 3, 1948, when a little-known local performer named John Lee Hooker entered United Sound Studios for his first recording session. Rock & roll was still an obscure rhythm & blues catchphrase, certainly not yet a musical genre, and Hooker's career trajectory had been that of the standard-issue bluesman. A native of the Mississippi Delta, he had drifted north for the same reason that eastern Europeans and Kentucky hillbillies, Greeks and Poles and Arabs and Asians and Mexicans had all been migrating toward Michigan in waves for the first half of the 20th Century. "The Motor City it was then, with the factories and everything, and the money was flowing," Hooker told biographer Charles Shaar Murray." All the cars were being built there. Detroit was the city then. Work, work, work, work. Plenty work, good wages, good money at that time."1 He worked many of those factories, Ford and General Motors among them, and at night he plied the craft of the bluesman in bars, social clubs and at house parties. But John Lee Hooker was no ordinary bluesman, and the song he cut at the tail of his first session, "Boogie Chillen," was no ordinary blues. Accompanied only by the stomp of his right foot, his acoustic guitar hammered an insistent pattern, partially based on boogie-woogie piano, that Hooker said he learned from his stepfather back in Mississippi as "country boogie." Informed by the urgency and relentless drive of his Detroit assembly line experiences, John Lee's urban guitar boogie would become a signature color on the rock & roll palette, as readily identifiable as Bo Diddley's beat or Chuck Berry's ringing chords.

B THE EBONY’S I CAN’T HELP BUT LOVE YOU AVIS 1001 VG++ 300 It is difficult not to believe that this is not the group that had tremendous seventies releases on Philadelphia International but various sources do not recognise this as the group’s first effort in 1966. We absolutely believe it to be them. Two great sides are produced by Ray Sharp and Roland Chambers whatever the group’s identity. The storming ‘I Can’t Help’ is backed by a very neat midtempo item which points heavily towards their future sound.

  • And a Letter to My Customers ===
    --- == ROOTS & RHYTHM - SALE 01/12/2014 - AND A LETTER TO MY CUSTOMERS === --- Dear Friends Happy New Year! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. NOTE: Regrettably our holiday season was the slowest we've ever seen and it may mean that we will not be able to continue operating our business for very much longer. I am no longer a young man (not by a long shot!) and don't have the energy to pursue ways in which we may be able to promote the business. I would love to be able to settle down and listen to all the music I have gathered over the years in a relaxed setting and with critical reviewing faculties turned off. I would love to see Roots & Rhythm continue and thrive and even if we make it through the current crisis I would still like to get away from the stress of running a business so I am open to having someone else take over and move the company forward. If you are such a person or know such a person please contact me and we can discuss it. This list consists of a sale which we hope will raise enough money to help us get caught up with our suppliers and our taxes as well as some other pressing expenses. This list features 600 titles in all covering all the genres of music we specialize in and featuring books, DVDs and compact discs. This list includes manufacturer?s overstocks and deletions, our own excess inventory and a lot of titles that have been sitting on our shelves that have never been listed before.

  • Golden Boy." the Original Cast Album on Capitol Is the Broadway Field
    Sammy Davis, Jr. is pictured above in two scenes from the Broadway smash “Golden Boy." The original cast album on Capitol is currently one of the hottest Broadway-casters on sale. “Golden Boy" also represents Capitol’s second major success in the original cast LP field during 1964, the previous winner being the long-running Barbra Streisand smash “Funny Girl.” The “Funny Girl" album was awarded an RIAA Gold Record some months back. Capitol’s plans for 1965 call for continuing activity in the Broadway field with at least two more original cast albums slated for release by the label during the new year. The success of “Golden Boy” is another personal triumph for Sammy Davis, con- sidered one of the greatest entertainers of this or any generation. Sammy's home base as a recording artist is Reprise Records. w 1 i Every* YOU 1 day JUST WILL SEE ME Ar?i a Franklin mu HAVL ‘ me YOU LOOKED VOII WTOYOUR Steve Lawrence 4-43192 HEART Jerry Vale 4-43181 4 Single Winners Worth Shouting About on Columbia RecordsS ©"COLUMBIA; f^MARCAS REG PRINTED IN USA !
