While Little Richard Penniman is well known for his Specialty, Mercury, Veejay, and Modern recordings (though many of the sides on the latter two labels were merely redos of his Specialty hits), he is little celebrated for these wonderful sides recorded for Okeh in 1966 and 1967. The Little Richard on these sessions is a seasoned R&B singer whose feet are deeply rooted in modern-era Southern soul. That said, there are a few traces of Motown that creep in as well -- despite the fact that the material was all recorded in Hollywood. For Okeh, Little Richard recorded devastatingly fine versions of "Function at the Junction," "I Don't Want to Discuss It," Berry Gordy's "M-O-N-E-Y," "Poor Dog," "Hurry Sundown," and Sam Cooke's "Well All Right" to mention a few.
To help him pull it all off -- this was seen as a last-ditch survival effort for the singer -- Little Richard's sidemen for these dates include Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Larry Williams, Eddie Fletcher, and Glen Willings -- a crack studio band if there ever was one. In sum, the Okeh material yielded one fine, 11-track album in The Explosive Little Richard released in 1967, and three issued B-sides for its singles. Appearing on this CD for the very first time are three leftover tracks that include smoking raw versions of Fats Domino's "Rocking Chair" and Leiber & Stoller's "Hound Dog." For those who are contemplating a Little Richard CD, the Specialty sides should come first because they contain the original versions of his classics. For those who already have that material, this set is an excellent addition to the Penniman shelf. There isn't a loser in the bunch, and these performances are truly inspired, burning from start to finish; they are startling even today. In addition to the great music, soul expert Charles White's liner notes are thorough and authoritative and offer the same kind of exuberance Penniman put into these performances. -Thom Jurek

Erma Franklin - Piece Of Her Heart - The Epic And Shout Years (2011)
Piece Of Her Heart: Epic & Shout Years album by Erma Franklin was released Oct 20, 2009 on the Shout! label. When 'Piece of My Heart' reached the U.S. Top 20 in 1968, the Pop music world was largely unaware that Janis Joplin's gritty vocal was but an echo of the emotive original by Erma Franklin from the R&B Top 10 of a year earlier. Erma was the eldest sibling in the Franklin family, senior to Aretha and Carolyn, and like the former was signed to Columbia Records in the early 1960's, producing a number of high quality singles and an album on the Epic label. She then pacted with Shout Records in New York in 1967 to cut four singles of bluesy Soul gems, moving to Brunswick in 1969. This collection brings together, for the first time, a comprehensive collection of all tracks released on both the Epic and Shout labels, reflecting the full range of Erma's musical talent in this fine showcase of Soul and Blues repertoire, also blessed with a hint of Jazz styling.

Itty Bitty Pieces2:22 James Ray
Making the move from Washington, D.C. to New York City in 1959, aspiring just-turned-18 singer James Ray Raymond was ushered into a recording studio shortly after arrival, resulting in a single for Gallant, one of George Goldner's labels from the Gone/End/Gee group. As Little Jimmy Ray (his general appearance similar to short-in-stature hitmaker Little Willie John, though vocally they were quite dissimilar), his A side ballad "Make Her Mine," written by singer and Chantels mentor Richard Barrett, was flipped with "You Need to Fall in Love," penned by Raymond, its melody and arrangement a blatant imitation of John's signature tune "Fever." But as easy as it had been to break into the business, so was it tough going for the next two years.
James pounded the Big Apple pavement for many months after that one unsuccessful bid, occasionally working in small nightclubs but mostly singing on street corners and, for a time, living on the streets. A music-obsessed mailman, Rudy Clark, saw him in a club in 1961, which ultimately worked in James's favor. When Gerry Granahan, founder of the recently-established Caprice Records, showed interest in some of Clark's songs but didn't feel he had a voice for recording, Rudy tracked down James, who'd been sacking out on the roof of an apartment building, and took him to audition for Granahan. Caprice had gotten off to a good start that year with hit singles by a pair of female acts from New Jersey, Janie Grant ("Triangle") and The Angels ("'Til"). Taking a simplified and less juvenile name, James Ray scored the label's third big hit.
"If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody," the best song in Clark's repertoire, benefited further from an oddball arrangement by Hutch Davie (whose first notable accomplishment was co-composing "The Green Door" and pounding the piano on Jim Lowe's number one hit version in '56). Many of Davie's arrangements went against trend; he often made clever use of horn sections (trumpet blasts, trombone accents). The recording was produced as a waltz and emphasized the tuba and harmonica as lead instruments. The whole thing could have gone horribly wrong, but didn't; Ray's distinctive vocal performance came almost as an afterthought. "If You Gotta" hit the national charts in November 1961 and spent several weeks in the top 30 in January and February '62 while reaching the top ten of the R&B charts. Flip side "It's Been a Drag" wasn't strong on airplay but Ray's reading of the song's downer message rang true.
James Ray
Clark composed the follow-up, "Itty Bitty Pieces," which contrasted Ray's gritty vocal sound against pop backing singers and a more conventional band arrangement than its predecessor. A lesser hit, it just missed the top 40 in mid-May. Around this time James popped up in an unlikely place: Janie Grant's spoof of Vitalis hair tonic, "That Greasy Kid Stuff," poked fun at the infamous 1871 meeting of explorer David Livingstone and H.M. Stanley in Africa. James supplied the obvious spoken line 'Dr. Livingstone, I presume!' (Janie chiming in with '...are you still using that greasy kid stuff?') and made his last, albeit uncredited, appearance on the charts. The next James Ray single, "A Miracle," fell far below expectations, after which he was switched to Granahan's Dynamic Sound label for "I've Got My Mind Set on You," another Rudy Clark song, a failure for Ray but not, as it turned out, for another well-known singer many years later.
While James Ray attempted in vain to build on his promising start, British musicians were busy spreading the word about his songs. The Beatles, still pounding the Liverpool pavement in early '62 (and paying their dues in Hamburg, Germany at the Star-Club), began including "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody" in their set; fascinated by Ray's hit and its mesmerizing harmonica, they used it as a blueprint for their own debut single, "Love Me Do," recorded that summer. A rousing performance of "If You Gotta" at Liverpool's Cavern Club in September did not go unnoticed by Freddie and the Dreamers, who were on the bill that night; a somewhat soulless recording of the song became the first major U.K. hit for Freddie and company in the spring of 1963. U.S. artists had a fondness for the tune as well; Calvin Grayson's remake appeared on Capitol in the summer of '65 and Maxine Brown charted with her version at the end of the year. Some went the "Itty Bitty Pieces" route; The Rockin' Berries released a pop version in late 1963, followed a few months later by Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds' bluesy variation.
James Ray's later efforts appeared on the Congress label and included "Do the Monkey" (written by Clark with occasional collaborator Bobby Darin) and his final single, "We Got a Thing Goin' On," in 1964. Ray's death occurred sometime afterwards, a drug overdose being the most commonly believed cause. Even the date of this tragedy is uncertain, but he wouldn't have been much older than his mid-twenties, a talented singer mysteriously taken too soon.
Rudy Clark pushed on and realized his dreams, authoring several indelible classics including "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" (a super-size '64 hit for Betty Everett), "Good Lovin'" (penned with Arthur Resnick, it was a hit for The Olympics in '65 and a Young Rascals chart-topper a year later), "Everybody Plays the Fool" (The Main Ingredient's signature smash in '72, cowritten with J.R. Bailey and Ken Williams) and solid soul shots for Chuck Jackson, Mary Wells and Wilson Pickett, among others. For years, Beatle George Harrison had planned to record one of his favorite songs, "Got My Mind Set on You" (retitled slightly from Ray's 1962 original); in 1987 he finally did and in January '88 it became the second number one hit in the songwriting career of Rudy Clark, simultaneously renewing interest in the superbly unique recordings of James Ray.

The Shangri-Las — американская девичья поп-группа, сформированная в 1963 году в Нью-Йорке. Признание и популярность коллективу принесли как их эмоциональные песни, так и сценические выступления.
Группа была образована в 1963 году в нью-йоркском районе Квинс в Средней школе Эндрю Джексона. В коллектив вошли сёстры Мэри Вайс и Элизабет «Бетти» Вайс, а также близнецы Маргерит «Мардж» Гансер и Мэри Энн Гансер. Группа принимала участие в школьных представлениях и конкурсах талантов, благодаря чему на девушек обратил внимание продюсер Арти Рипп, который помог им заключить контракт с Kama Sutra Records. Первая запись группы, «Simon Says», состоялась в декабре 1963 года и позднее была издана на лейбле Smash. Изначально коллектив выступал без названия, однако после заключения своего первого соглашения начал именоваться The Shangri-Las.
В апреле 1964 года группа подписала контракт с Red Bird Records. С девушками стал работать музыкальный продюсер Джордж Мортон, написавший для них первый хит — Remember (Walking in the Sand). К группе пришёл успех: композиция достигла пятого места в чарте США и 14-го в чарте Великобритании. Следующая песня группы, Leader of the Pack, снабжённая звуками ревущего мотоцикла и шумом бьющегося стекла, вошла в число её главных хитов, добравшись до первого места в американском и до 11-го в британском хит-парадах. The Shangri-Las получили признание к концу 1964 года. Они выступали с The Beatles и гастролировали с The Drifters и Джеймсом Брауном. Поскольку Бетти не участвовала в турах до 1966 года, многие фанаты считали, что группа представляет собой трио
Образ, созданный The Shangri-Las, отличал группу от подобных женских коллективов: девушки были более раскованны, чем их современники. Выступления группы были очень динамичны, а их песни, преимущественно посвящённые подростковым и молодёжным проблемам, сопровождались специально подобранными танцами.
В 1966 популярность The Shangri-Las начала падать. Кроме того прекратила существование компания Red Bird Records, после чего группа подписала соглашение с Mercury Records. Работе с новой звукозаписывающей компанией не сопутствовал успех и в 1968 году группа распалась.
В 1970-е годы ходили слухи о воссоединении группы. Однако в 1970 году при странных обстоятельствах скончалась Мэри Энн (причинами смерти назывались эпилептический припадок и передозировка наркотиков). В 1996 от рака скончалась её сестра — Маргерит.
В 2007 году Мэри Вайс, бывшая главной вокалисткой в группе, продолжила свою карьеру соло.
