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 # 16 - A House Is Not A Home

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!
