Struttin My Stuff # 17 - Parlez Vous Français?

Parlez vous francais?

Salut Les Copains !
(or Hi Guys!)

We start this week with a little bit of a joke, meaning a French language Rock ´n Roll record from before 1959. Which is not only the birth year of yours truly, but also the year when Salut Les Copains was born, the first serious French Rock and Roll radio show, broadcasted by the station Europe 1.

The French (language) Rock ´n´ Roll made before that time? Well, take for instance Rock ´n´Roll Mops from 1956. Considered to be the first French Rock ´n Roll recording, it was written by Boris Vian and Michael Legrand. Both were and still are more known for their novels (Vian) and film scores (Legrand), than for their R´n´R credibility.

To make things worse, the song was sung, under the name Henry Cording (recording, you get it?) by singer/actor Henri Salvador, who never got tired of saying that he hated Rock ´n Roll.

IN 1957 Rock ´n Roll Mops was redone in an slightly better version by Dutchman Ferdinand Heinrick Barendse. During the 40´s Barendse played trumpet in the jazz orchestra The Ramblers, before he started playing stuff like the charleston in the Belgian casinos, with his own dance orchestra. Not your vintage Rock ´n´ Roller this Ferdinand, despite his posing as Ferry ´Rock´ Barendse.

Anyway, Barendse sang his would- be Rock ´n´ Roll with a sort of Louis Amstrong voice, which makes his records at least amusing. Listen to his T´as L´bonhour d´Alfred´ and have a laugh.

Other than that, nothing but quality stuff on this show folks, French and non French. And with an extra shot of African stuff this time.

Amusez-vous avec le spectacle!

Struttin My Stuff # 16 - A House Is Not A Home

Home Sweet Home

It´s Monday already...

so I hope all of you had a nice weekend.

I had a very good time with my family. Home Sweet Home indeed.
All those nice homely feelings make me start this weeks Struttin My Stuff show with some houses and homes songs. Needless to say they all fit perfectly in our usual mix of knowns and unknowns from Blues, R´n B, (Afro) Funk, Soul, Gospel and Much Much More.

Two of all these beauties stand out, at least for the little story behind them:

Guess who the organ player is on Doug Brown and the Omens Thank Goodness It´s Friday? Yes, it´s Bob Seger himself! Boss Doug later on became Seger´s producer. The man certainly knew his place.

A real unknown is Edward Ross, whose alter ego Little Buck didn´t get famous either. Ross was a member of New Orleans greats Huey Piano Smith and the Clowns though. His great Whisper My Name was backed with Little Boy Blue, which is actually the instrumental track of Eddie Bo´s Lover And A Friend. Producer and Seven B label owner Joe Banashak just added Ross´/Buck´s vocals.

Anyway, the record wasn´t what you can call a hit, but nowadays you pay a loooot of money for a copy. Strange world we´re living in.

Have fun with the show!

Struttin My Stuff # 15 - It´s Windy Out There

Esquerita: Close the window please!

A very fine first of May to you all!

First I have to make clear that I already had prepared this Struttin My Stuff show when I heard what had happened to the good people of Alabama and other southern US states.

So yes, we´re starting with some stormy tunes, although Little Esther and Eva Cassidy are keeping things low tempo. Lots of heavy weather later on in the show too. Take Fela Kuti´s Roforofo Fight. That´s 15 minutes plus of the finest Afro-funk pouring down on you!
Or take blues man Byter Smith´s intense The man wants me dead. That stingin guitar and soaring voice will evoke a soul storm in your heart. And what about Little Richards main inspiror Esquerita. A 2 minute hailstorm.

That said, let this mix of Blues, black R´n B, Funk, Gospel, Garage and Much Much More brighten you day.

Have fun!

Struttin My Stuff # 10 - Jivin The Gospel

Sam Cooke: Jesus Gave Me Water

Hello there!

Our 10th Struttin My Stuff show. To celebrate this small wonder we have Gods own Hip Messiah Lord Buckley to warm you up for some jiving gospel tunes. Among them Jesus Gave Me Water, in my opinion one of the very best recordings Sam Cooke did with the Soul Stirrers, together with Touch the Hem of His Garment and Were You There?

We switch to more worldly affairs after that with Helen Smith and You Gotta Have A Man. I don´t know who wrote this song, but he or she must have already been dead when Prince released his Kiss. Otherwise: were was the courtcase? ´Prince must have been inspired by this song´, somebody wrote on the fan community sitePrince.org. Inspired? He bloody stole the song!
If you want a better version of You Gotta Have A Man, listen to the one done by Frank Williams and the Rocketeers. In fact I think it´s the same instrumental track, but Franks vocals are a lot grittier/more exciting than Helens. We´ll play Franks version some other time, that´s for sure.

Talking bout different versions. The Come See About Me by Don Covay we play on this show isn´t the usual one with strings and female choir. This one comes from Dons 1965 See Saw lp. It´s a different recording, in a slightly lower tempo and with Don singing in a more relaxed manner. I prefer the single version (it has a lot more ´swing´) but I thought it might be interesting to play this one for a chance. Apart from that: you can´t go wrong with Don Covay!

You can´t go wrong with any of the songs on this show, if you ask me. It´s all good stuff with lots of grit and soul. But ak me for my personal fav, and I say ´Freddie King´. Listen to this version of Have You Ever Loved A Woman? and you know what real soul is all about.

Have fun!

Struttin My Stuff # 4 - Come On In And Do The Swing

Helllo again!

And welcome to our fourth Struttin My Stuff show. More than 80 minutes of gritty blues, deep soul, sixties and other garage, ska, hard funk, gospel, zydeco, afro- beat, fifties and sixties R&B and R&R ...

...you name it, we play it, as long as it has SOUL.

Busy folks we have this time: Georgie Fame is Monkeying Around, Big Joe Williams needs his Vitamine A Blues , Ella Washington is Starving For Love and Th´ Legendary Shack Shakers do the Bullfrog Blues.

In the meantime The Come Ons and The J. Geils Band play a Detroit-Boston match, while Peter Green and John Mayall are Out Of Reach ( talking of the Mayall family, we will play something of son Gaz his Rockin Records label one of the upcoming shows).

And, as promised last week, we have Barrelhouse, Tineke Schoemakers own band. There ain´t many Dutch female blues singers around and Tineke is by far the best. Listen to Oh Death, and you know what I mean.

Talking about the best. This week´s country tearjerker is Gram Parsons´ Return of The Grievous Angel. They don´t come any better than that!

Have fun with the show!
