Mark's Music Notes Mark’s Music Notes The world recently lost two monumental musical figures that once worked together, and both are mostly known for only one of their many respective songs, which is just a small part of their stories. Rhythm and blues pioneer Johnny Otis passed away on January 17, 2012 at the age of 90 and Etta James passed away on January 20, 2012 at the age of 73. Otis, mostly known for his song Willie And The Hand Jive, made a huge impact on popular music in the 1950s, and he helped usher in rock and roll music. Etta James is mostly known for her song At Last, but she had many other great songs that have inspired countless other singers. New Orleans musician Trombone Shorty recently followed up his excellent Backatown album with the even better For True album, which captures his unique sound very well. Johnny Otis – The Johnny Otis Rhythm & Blues Caravan: The Complete Savoy Recordings John Veliotes, aka Johnny Otis, was born in 1921, the son of Greek immigrants that owned and operated a grocery store in a predominately black neighborhood in Berkeley, California. Early on, Otis related to the African‐American culture and decided that he would live his life as a black man, and he was able to pull this off due to his dark olive skin color. Otis began his career in music at age 18, playing drums in various big bands. Nat King Cole talked him into moving to Los Angeles, and Otis was soon leading his own big band. He often played vibraphone instead of drums in his bands, a move that was initiated after he injured one of his hands. Otis partnered with singer/guitarist/band master of ceremonies Bardu Ali, and opened the Barrelhouse Club in the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. It was the first nightclub to feature rhythm and blues music exclusively, and it was very popular. In 1950, Otis took the show on the road with his hugely successful California Rhythm & Blues Caravan. In addition to his performance career, Otis was a record producer, talent scout and owner of the Dig record label. Otis became a radio disc jockey in the mid‐1950s, and continued his radio show into the mid‐2000s. He also had his own weekly variety TV show in LA for eight years. In the 1960s, Otis served as Deputy Chief of Staff to politician Mervin Dymally, and even campaigned for a seat in the California State Assembly, but he lost, partially due to the fact that he ran as John Veliotes, not as Johnny Otis. Musician Frank Zappa was a huge Johnny Otis fan (there is little doubt that Otis’ 1969 X‐rated album was a major influence on Zappa), and he coaxed Otis back into music in the 1970s, even securing a record deal for him. In the 1990s, Otis bought a farm, opened a health food store, pastored the Landmark Community Gospel Church and began recording music again. Otis was also a painter, sculpter, cartoonist and author. He wrote several books in his lifetime, including a cookbook, a book about the Watts riots and an autobiography. In the early 2000s, Otis became a professor at the University of California in Berkeley, teaching African‐American music history. Not bad for a guy that got into music with the goal of playing drums for Count Basie (he actually did fill in for Basie’s sick drummer once). Johnny Otis is one of the most influential figures in the evolution of rhythm and blues into rock and roll music. In the post‐World War II economy, he was forced to downsize his band, and purposely chose some musicians that were a little rough around the edges, so he could get the harder, bluesier sound that the kids liked. Otis had noticed that when the bands that he had played in ventured into boogie woogie territory, the audience really enjoyed it, so he focused on developing this sound. Otis discovered many legendary rhythm and blues singers such as Little Esther Phillips, Big Momma Thornton, Etta James, Hank Ballard, Little Willie John, Jackie Wilson and Sugar Pie DeSanto. Otis produced and played drums on Big Momma Thronton’s song Hound Dog, a big hit that was later covered by Elvis Presley, becoming one of his biggest hits as well. Otis was initially credited as a co‐writer with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller on Hound Dog, but his name was removed when Elvis recorded the song. Otis wrote and sang the hit rock ‘n’ roll song Willie and the Hand Jive, which was a top ten hit in 1958, and was covered by Eric Clapton in 1974. Otis was also the father of awesome guitarist Shuggy Otis, and they played electric blues and funk together in the 1970s. Johnny Otis he has been inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame, the Blues Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The Johnny Otis Rhythm & Blues Caravan – The Complete Savoy Recordings, is a nice, inexpensive 3 CD compilation of 77 songs from the early 1950s, and is a great place to become acquainted with Johnny Otis and the rhythm and blues that he pioneered. It features a dozen different singers and a vocal group called The Robins that later evolved into the Coasters. There are some great instrumentals that border on straight blues and early rock ‘n’ roll, with some of the coolest, raunchy electric guitar that was recorded during this period. Fans of rockabilly and early rock ‘n’ roll will immediately hear the influence that rhythm and blues had on these genres. The set features a cover that was painted by Johnny Otis and liner notes written by musician/producer Billy Vera. Etta James – Gold, Rocks The House, Tell Mama & Who’s Blue? Jamesetta Hawkins, aka Etta James, was born in 1938 to a 14 year old mother in Los Angeles who gave her up for adoption and moved to San Francisco. She never knew her father, but he is thought to be a white man, and Etta believed that he was billiards player Minnesota Fats, but Fats denied this. Etta sang in church until her stepmother died when she was 12, and Etta moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco to live with her natural mother. Etta’s favorite singers were Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and when she was 14, she formed a girl doo‐wop group called The Creolettes that initially just sang for fun. When she was 16, Etta reportedly dated a 29 year old B.B. King, and it is speculated that his song Sweet Sixteen is about her. Around this same time, The Creolettes met Johnny Otis, who reversed Jamesetta’s first name to rename the group Etta James and the Peaches. Otis secured a recording deal with Modern Records, and he and Etta wrote her 1955 Rhythm & Blues hit, Roll With Me Henry, an answer song to Hank Ballard’s hit Work With Me Annie. Richard Berry, though uncredited, sings on the song and is said to have changed it up significantly during the recording with Johnny Otis’ band. The Bihari Brothers, owners of Modern Records, changed the name of the song to The Wallflower, hoping to make it more radio friendly with a less explicit title. While Etta and the Peaches toured as Little Richard’s opening act, white singer Georgia Gibbs released her pop version of The Wallflower with the lyrics changed to Dance With Me Henry, and it became a hit, which infuriated Etta. Etta soon left the Peaches behind, and had a follow up hit with Good Rockin’ Daddy, but she couldn’t come up with any further hits in the 1950s. In 1960, Etta signed with Chess Records and dated singer Harvey Fuqua of the Moonglows. After a couple of hit duets with Fuqua and a minor doo‐wop hit, Leonard Chess took Etta’s music in a pop ballad direction, replacing gritty honking saxophones with lushly orchestrated music. Her first album, At Last was released in 1960, and though it was only a minor hit at the time, the title song eventually became her signature song. Etta soon branched out from the lush pop sound, introducing some gospel influence into her secular music. In 1964, Chess released the appropriately named Etta James Rocks The House. This album is a raw, warts and all live album recorded in 1963 at the New Era Club in Nashville, Tennessee. The band is lean and mean, stripped down to guitar, bass, organ, saxophone and drums. Etta belts out familiar rhythm & blues and straight blues songs, and the audience goes completely nuts. It is entirely different from her preceding studio albums on Chess. There is no At Last, or anything even remotely resembling that song. Etta’s hits in the 1960s trickled off until she went to Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record the great 1967 soul album Tell Mama, her best proper studio album. Every song on the album is great, and it was a huge influence on Janis Joplin, who recorded her own live version of Tell Mama. This album was also an obvious influence on Bonnie Raitt as well. Etta was devastated when Leonard Chess died in 1969 of a heart attack at the age of 52. Etta had already struggled with drugs and alcohol, but this struggle became much worse in the 1970s, as heroin was introduced to her. Etta’s music became more rock and funk oriented, and she toured as the opener for The Rolling Stones in 1978, but due to her addictions, she didn’t record again until 1988.

    Popular Music (2014) Volume 33/2. © Cambridge University Press 2014, pp. 185–207 doi:10.1017/S0261143014000270 ‘Find out what it means to me’: Aretha Franklin’s gendered re-authoring of Otis Redding’s ‘Respect’ VICTORIA MALAWEY Music Department, Macalester College, 1600 Grand Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55105, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In her re-authoring of Otis Redding’s ‘Respect’, Aretha Franklin’s seminal 1967 recording features striking changes to melodic content, vocal delivery, lyrics and form. Musical analysis and transcription reveal Franklin’s re-authoring techniques, which relate to rhetorical strategies of motivated rewriting, talking texts and call-and-response introduced by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The extent of her re-authoring grants her status as owner of the song and results in a new sonic experience that can be clearly related to the cultural work the song has performed over the past 45 years. Multiple social movements claimed Franklin’s ‘Respect’ as their anthem, and her version more generally functioned as a song of empower- ment for those who have been marginalised, resulting in the song’s complex relationship with feminism. Franklin’s ‘Respect’ speaks dialogically with Redding’s version as an answer song that gives agency to a female perspective speaking within the language of soul music, which appealed to many audiences. Introduction Although Otis Redding wrote and recorded ‘Respect’ in 1965, Aretha Franklin stakes a claim of ownership by re-authoring the song in her famous 1967 recording. Her version features striking changes to the melodic content, vocal delivery, lyrics and form.

  • Boom Boom Boom Boom by Steven Gowin
    Boom Boom Boom Boom by Steven Gowin “You only just watch them damned cowboy shows and drink that cheap beer,” Lydia crabbed at Little Jessie. “Whyn't ya get out and do sumpin'? See a show that ain't Rawhide. Make a friend; don't be a worm no more.” Little Jessie'd spent 30 years taking orders in the Canal Zone with only brief visits home. He'd seen a fellow gamble away his life's savings, survived a near fatal explosion, and witnessed a man crushed and drowned in the Miraflores locks. “You like guitar?” Lydia badgered Jessie, when all he really wanted was a cold PBR, Gunsmoke, and some peace. “I said, guitar what you like?” Jessie nodded and said, “Sure enough, and squeeze box and saxophone, why?” “Why??? Why is cause I ain't standin' another night of you and them cowboys.” Lydia was one of those ladies who wears a big hat to church on Sunday, every Sunday. She said, “I know you know I'm right.” Jessie didn't care about right. He only cared about meanness and bossing and lack thereof. But Lydia was worse and worse. He couldn't do anything, say anything, without her telling him what was wrong with him. The next evening, holding the ticket Lydia'd bought him in hand, Jessie rode the 22 Fillmore across town to where the marquee flashed, John Lee's Boom BOOM R O O M ! ! ! The red and blue neon cheered Jessie, he admitted, and he liked the folks headed in wearing furs and finery and jewels.

  • Taking Intellectual Property Into Their Own Hands
    Taking Intellectual Property into Their Own Hands Amy Adler* & Jeanne C. Fromer** When we think about people seeking relief for infringement of their intellectual property rights under copyright and trademark laws, we typically assume they will operate within an overtly legal scheme. By contrast, creators of works that lie outside the subject matter, or at least outside the heartland, of intellectual property law often remedy copying of their works by asserting extralegal norms within their own tight-knit communities. In recent years, however, there has been a growing third category of relief-seekers: those taking intellectual property into their own hands, seeking relief outside the legal system for copying of works that fall well within the heartland of copyright or trademark laws, such as visual art, music, and fashion. They exercise intellectual property self-help in a constellation of ways. Most frequently, they use shaming, principally through social media or a similar platform, to call out perceived misappropriations. Other times, they reappropriate perceived misappropriations, therein generating new creative works. This Article identifies, illustrates, and analyzes this phenomenon using a diverse array of recent examples. Aggrieved creators can use self-help of the sorts we describe to accomplish much of what they hope to derive from successful infringement litigation: collect monetary damages, stop the appropriation, insist on attribution of their work, and correct potential misattributions of a misappropriation. We evaluate the benefits and demerits of intellectual property self-help as compared with more traditional intellectual property enforcement.

  • Mcgill B Questions By: Annabel Levine, Zach Margolis, Rachael Hardies, Mark Stern
    2010 Hybrid Tournament: McGill B Questions by: Annabel Levine, Zach Margolis, Rachael Hardies, Mark Stern Tossups 1. An early queen of this modern-day nation, Anula, had five of her husbands, who all briefly held the throne at some point, murdered before she took the throne for herself in 47 BCE. Elara is titled as the “Just King” in this nation, despite coming from a minority group that invaded 205 BCE, while (*) Devanampiya was the first king to convert to Buddhism after embracing the faith from the missionary Mahinda. The ethnic majority returned to the throne in 463 CE after a rebellion led by Dhatusena against the Six Dravidians, and his son Kashyapa created the fortress of Sigiriya atop a massive rock that surrounds a plain. Invaded several times by the Chola and retaken by the Sinhala, for 10 points, name this modern-day nation whose kingdoms of Kandy and Jaffna fell in the late 18th century to a British rule headquartered at Colombo. ANSWER: Sri Lanka 2. He was thrown out of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and Switzerland, and he talks about the people as though he owned them, as though they belonged to him. He speaks out against “the downright villainy of Boss Jim W. Gettys' (*) political machine,” but Gettys gets elected after he exposes this man's “love nest.” This man finishes Jed Leland's negative review of Susan Alexander's opera debut, and a musical tribute to him insists that he be addressed as “Charlie.” He drops a snow globe right before dying, and he collects huge piles of European statues for his Xanadu estate.

  • The Twist”—Chubby Checker (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Jim Dawson (Guest Post)*
    “The Twist”—Chubby Checker (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Jim Dawson (guest post)* Chubby Checker Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” has the distinction of being the only non-seasonal American recording that reached the top of “Billboard’s” pop charts twice, separately. (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” topped the holiday tree in 1942, 1945, and 1947). “The Twist” shot to No. 1 in 1960, fell completely off the charts, then returned over a year later like a brand new single and did it all over again. Even more remarkable was that Checker’s version was a nearly note-for- note, commissioned mimicry of the original “The Twist,” written and recorded in 1958 by R&B artist Hank Ballard and released as the B-side of a love ballad. Most remarkable of all, however, is that Chubby Checker set the whole world Twisting, from Harlem clubs to the White House to Buckingham Palace, and beyond. The Twist’s movements were so rudimentary that almost everyone, regardless of their level of coordination, could maneuver through it, usually without injuring or embarrassing themselves. Like so many rhythm and blues songs, “The Twist” had a busy pedigree going back decades. In 1912, black songwriter Perry Bradford wrote “Messin’ Around,” in which he gave instructions to a new dance called the Mess Around: “Put your hands on your hips and bend your back; stand in one spot nice and tight; and twist around with all your might.” The following year, black tunesmiths Chris Smith and Jim Burris wrote “Ballin’ the Jack” for “The Darktown Follies of 1913” at Harlem’s Lafayette Theatre, in which they elaborated on the Mess Around by telling dancers, “Twist around and twist around with all your might.” The song started a Ballin’ the Jack craze that, like nearly every new Harlem dance, moved downtown to the white ballrooms and then shimmied and shook across the country.

  • Aint Gonna Study War No More / Down by the Riverside
    The Danish Peace Academy 1 Holger Terp: Aint gonna study war no more Ain't gonna study war no more By Holger Terp American gospel, workers- and peace song. Author: Text: Unknown, after 1917. Music: John J. Nolan 1902. Alternative titles: “Ain' go'n' to study war no mo'”, “Ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more”, “Ain't Gwine to Study War No More”, “Down by de Ribberside”, “Down by the River”, “Down by the Riverside”, “Going to Pull My War-Clothes” and “Study war no more” A very old spiritual that was originally known as Study War No More. It started out as a song associated with the slaves’ struggle for freedom, but after the American Civil War (1861-65) it became a very high-spirited peace song for people who were fed up with fighting.1 And the folk singer Pete Seeger notes on the record “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy and Other Love Songs”, that: "'Down by the Riverside' is, of course, one of the oldest of the Negro spirituals, coming out of the South in the years following the Civil War."2 But is the song as we know it today really as old as it is claimed without any sources? The earliest printed version of “Ain't gonna study war no more” is from 1918; while the notes to the song were published in 1902 as music to a love song by John J. Nolan.3 1 http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/grovemusic/spirituals,_hymns,_gospel_songs.htm 2 Thanks to Ulf Sandberg, Sweden, for the Pete Seeger quote.
