Clyde Stacy Clyde Stacy came from a family that moved to Arizona before settling in Lubbock (Texas) when he was about 13 years old. Knowing Buddy Holly and Sonny Curtis he progressed to his own radio show on KDAV before moving back in Tulsa when 18 years old. Tulsa was a musical place since long time and here he recruited John Le Van as lead guitarist. He was the one who play the killer guitar lead on "Hoy Hoy" cut in May/June 1957 and issued on Candlelight 1015 and Argyle 1001.
That song was a cover of a Little Johnny Jones’ song cut in October 1953 issued on Atlantic 1045 being also covered late 1957 by The Collins Kids on Columbia 41087. "Hoy Hoy" is the most even if the flip side "So Young", a ballad already cut The Clovers (Atlantic 1139), seem to have more action then. "So Young", even with its sexy female voice by Pat Peyton, is nothing more than a haunting ballad. That’s what we knew from Wayne Russell in the great Bear Family CD BCD 17152 "Clyde Stacy – Hoy Hoy". But we know since long that the complete story about an artist should never been told. There’s always something laying somewhere or buried that could come in light when the grave diggers came around...
That’s just what happened with that new single on Metropolitan featuring two unissued sides from the same session/same time. If “So Shy” is another ballad, "Cotton Pickin’ Chicken" is a killer rocker with wild scream, terrific guitar licks from John Le Van and strong slapping bass by Rick Eilerts. 2 minutes of pure boppin’ heaven music with vocal support that will drive you real loose. I don’t know who’s behind that record but that’s the definitive season gift ! |

Wilma Lee Cooper, Grand Ole
Opry singer, dies at 90 By Bill Friskics-Warren Wilma Lee Cooper, a perennial favorite with the Grand Ole Opry and a member, with her husband, Stoney, of a popular tradition-steeped country singing duo, died on Tuesday Sept 13, 2011 at her home in Sweetwater, Tenn. She was 90.
Ms. Cooper was a repository of the durable mountain music of her native Appalachia, an amalgamation of styles rooted in old-time ballads and fiddle tunes, rousing gospel shouting and sentimental parlor songs. Her music has often been labeled bluegrass, but Ms. Cooper, whose clarion alto was well suited to the noisy auditoriums and schoolhouses in which she and her husband performed in their early career, cultivated a more raw, forceful approach than that typically heard in bluegrass

Sonny Burns – A Real
Cool Cat From Bear
Family "Love Is Strange" became a classic of the genre and was covered by the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Peaches & Herb, Sonny And Cher, Everything But The Girl, Buck Owens and Susan Raye, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, Paul McCartney, Betty Everett, Connie Francis, a.o. The coy sexuality of this tune helped advance the storylines of several famous movies, including the 1972 adult film "Deep Throat", the 1973 movie "Badlands", and the 1987 movie "Dirty Dancing", where the main characters played by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey mimed the song to each other.
The 2-CD set on Bear Family includes all their Rainbow, Groove, Vik, and RCA recordings from 1955 to 1965. Check out "Rise Sally Rise", "No Good Lover"', "'Shake It Up", "I'm Glad For Your Sake"', and "It's Gonna Work Out Fine". The duo of Mickey & Sylvia broke up in the late 1950s, but Mickey & Sylvia continued recording together until 1965. Mickey Baker left the USA and build-up a successful career in France. Sylvia Robinson began recording as Sylvia in 1973 when she had a #3 hit with "Pillow Talk". Later she was one of the founders of Sugarhill Records, and she also was the driving force behind the first commercially successful rap single, 'Rapper's Delight' by the Sugarhill Gang. Sylvia Robinson
died in the morning of September 29, 2011, aged 75, from congestive
heart failure. |

"Country" Johnny
Mathis Dead at 80 By Kenneth Partridge "Country" Johnny Mathis, a singer and songwriter credited with penning more than 400 tunes over the course of his 60-plus-year career, died yesterday (Sept. 27) in Nashville. He was 80. While Johnny shared his name with another performer -- legendary pop crooner Johnny Mathis -- he enjoyed a remarkable career in his own right. He got his start in 1949, when he signed to the StarTalent label, and in subsequent decades he recorded for Chess, Columbia and Mercury, among other labels.
In 1953, as part of the duo Jimmy and Johnny, he scored a Top 10 hit with 'If You Don't Somebody Else Will.' A decade later, he nabbed his highest-charting solo single, 'Please Talk to My Heart,' which reached the Top 15. Over the years, numerous big-name artists have recorded Johnny's songs, including George Jones, Charley Pride, Johnny Paycheck, Tammy Wynette and even Elvis Costello. Johnny had been in poor health
following a 1999 stroke, and prior to that, he'd spent the last
few decades singing gospel music and focusing on his family. He's
survived by four children and Jeannie Mathis, his wife of 43 years. |

Northeast
Indiana auctioneers are "all shook up" over rare Elvis
film -
Film shot during 1957 concert in Fort Wayne FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Elvis was in the building, and there’s proof. The Ellenberger Brothers auction company in northeast Indiana has been “all shook up” over a piece of history that dates back to Elvis Presley’s 1957 performance at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. The business was preparing for a large auction of model toy trains to hit the block Sept. 10 when an unrelated item was brought to its attention. The woman who will have the auction offered a small tin can to the company in addition to the trains. On top, a small piece of tape reading “Elvis 1957 Colesium,” inside the tin protected a film reel of the King’s appearance. “Rarely do you ever see anything like this but this is just maybe a once in a lifetime thing,” auctioneer Glenn Ellenberger said. “It appears to be the full concert.” The auctioneer said his curiosity encouraged a peek at the strip frame by frame sitting at his kitchen table. “I couldn’t help but pull it open and look at the first few feet of it,” Ellenberger said. “I can see the coliseum. I can see people in the seats in front of it and I can see someone on the stage who I’m sure is Elvis.” The young rock star was just 22 when he spent about 30 minutes on the coliseum stage. Few artifacts are known to exist in the area from the visit, including a couple newspaper articles seen in the microfilm archives of the Allen County Library. Ellenberger has made arrangements
with experts at Indiana University to examine the film’s
condition and contents. Until it’s in the hands of professionals,
Ellenberger said the tin can holding history will stay under lock
and key. Considered extremely valuable, it has been placed in
a bank’s safety deposit box. The film will be on sale in
an online auction, the date for which has not been determined. |

Marsall Grant
passes on at 83 years old It was Mr. Grant who switched from guitar to bass so that Cash could stand front and center. It was Mr. Grant who served as road manager for a quarter-century, keeping Cash safe if not untroubled during Cash’s wild, pill-addled years in the 1960s and ’70s. And it was Mr. Grant whose bass provided the underpinning and the pulse for Cash’s signature music. Without Mr. Grant, Johnny Cash would not have been recognizable as Johnny Cash, and American popular music would be different and almost certainly lesser. "I was thinking yesterday that there would be no me without Marshall", said Cash’s daughter, the singer, songwriter and author Rosanne Cash, on Sunday morning. "Had Dad not had Marshall, he wouldn’t have had the ‘Johnny Cash Sound,’ and he wouldn’t have become all that he was, in his fullness. And I wouldn’t have become a songwriter or a musician. There’s a whole lineage that wouldn’t have happened." Part of that lineage also involves Country Music Hall of Fame vocal group The Statler Brothers, whom Mr. Grant managed until their 2004 retirement. Mr. Grant also played bass on the Statlers’ 1965 debut smash, "Flowers On The Wall." But his legacy is most prominently entwined with Cash, which is why he and wife Etta drove from their Hernando, Miss., home to Jonesboro last week to participate in the Johnny Cash Festival, a fundraiser to help restore Cash’s boyhood home in nearby Dyess, Ark.
Mr. Grant spent Wednesday afternoon at rehearsals, hearing artists including Kris Kristofferson, George Jones and Rodney Crowell rehearse for the Thursday concert along with Rosanne Cash, Johnny Cash’s sonJohn Carter Cash, daughter-in-law Laura Cash, brother Tommy Cash and many others. Mr. Grant was preparing to speak about Cash’s early recordings at the concert. "He was excited and passionate about the day", said John Carter Cash. "He was right in the thick of it, and he saw history coming full circle." After the Wednesday rehearsal, Mr. Grant grew weary at his hotel while spinning stories with Cash family members. He then collapsed and was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he had emergency surgery to remove a blood clot. He died Sunday morning around 3:30. Mr. Grant’s contributions to Cash’s sound were technically rudimentary but inarguably essential. He wasn’t trained on the bass, and had to affix adhesive tape to the instrument’s neck to let him know where the proper notes were when he, Cash and Luther Perkins began their collaboration. No one in the band was a deft musician in 1954, and it took all three of them to figure out how to tune the big upright bass Mr. Grant bought for $25 at a Memphis store. But their musical limitations allowed an elemental, flourish-free sound that was atypical and instantly identifiable. That sound came to be called "Boom Chicka Boom." "So many people think we took 10 years creating this style", Mr. Grant said during a Cash tribute concert at the Ryman Auditorium in 2003. "I mean, it was there in the first eight bars (of music) we played, and we spent the next four years trying to get rid of it." They never did get rid of it. "He and Luther were automobile mechanics when they met my dad", said John Carter Cash. "None of the three were educated in music whatsoever, but that’s part of the magic of it : that innocence behind their sound." The Tennessee Two became an inaugural inductee of the Musicians Hall of Fame in 2007, along with Elvis Presley’s Blue Moon Boys and others. Mr. Grant stood onstage that November night at Schermerhorn Symphony Center and played bass while John Carter Cash strummed an acoustic guitar.
Mr. Grant exited Cash’s band in 1980, and subsequent lawsuits over wrongful termination and embezzlement of retirement funds were settled out of court. He and Cash remained friends through all of that, and he documented his experience with Cash in the 2006 memoir I Was There When It Happened : My Life With Johnny Cash. "Marshall was a solid, solid rock", Rosanne Cash said. "I cannot imagine what would have happened on those tours without him. He understood how complicated my dad was, that he was a great artist who had real demons. And Marshall was so consistent. Now, he may have blown up a couple of cherry bombs in a couple of toilets on the road, but he never went off the rails."
What are a couple of toilets when weighed against a life spent altering country and rock ’n’ roll music forever ? "He’d call at least once a month, and we’d spend an hour on the phone and he’d just go over the stories", Cash continued. "It was like he was trying to reconcile them. There were good ones and bad ones, and he carried them all." Mr. Grant’s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Memorial Park Funeral Home, 5668 Poplar Ave. in Memphis. Survivor information and funeral specifics were unavailable at press time. Reach Peter Cooper at (615) 259-8220 or pcooper@tennessean.com. |

| Fire Chars Cowboy Jack Clement's Home Famed musician and producer Cowboy Jack Clement’s home of 40 years, and the priceless music memorabilia and memories it held, burned Saturday afternoon. Clement, girlfriend Aleene Jackson and others escaped the house off Belmont Boulevard unharmed. Clement also safely secured their three cats and his vintage guitars. “I got my baby,” he said, referring to a Gibson J200 guitar he bought in 1951 while still in the Marines. The guitar was scratched by Elvis Presley’s belt buckle. Clement has been the hand behind the music on legendary productions such as at Sun Records for Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” as well as recording sessions with Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Charlie Rich. He developed the careers of Charley Pride and George Jones. Outside of country music, Clement produced three tracks for U2’s “Rattle and Hum” sessions in Memphis and also produced an album for blues trumpet great Louis Armstrong.

US radio show done by our
friend Roddy Jackson Howdy cats and dolls, Here's a link for a US radio show done by our friend Roddy Jackson on KIOS (Merced - CA) on April 30, 2011 : http://artsinthevalley.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/roddyjackson.mp3 It's thrilling to hear again his voice... Very easy to understand so don't be shy try it. Nice to hear him talking about his parents and hisr first try at piano being six years old. Sock Hops and Bill Haley, Fats Domino are great reminder for those who think everything started with Elvis on TV in January 1956. Yep, "Rock Around The Clock" and "Ain't That A Shame" are definitive rock and roll milestones ! Great to hear about Sonny Bono and Little Richard, The Quasar ! Roddy makes some folks aware of Dick Clark's ways telling how his American Bandstand performance was cancelled at the last moment for payola reasons. You should appreciate much to heard him telling on the radio waves how European fans tried to find you and treating you like a royalty since to came oversea to enjoy us. It comes for you who enjoyed the "Rock and Roll Revue Party" past November.
Listen Roddy shooting "I love race music", "I love the black music" and singing acapella "She Said Yeah" is something else. We can be glad about Roddy leaving the crazy wild rock and roll life just in time and start a new life but... still keepin' musical activities. Roddy is still pretty full of energy and I just wish you all to be as well and strong as him when reaching its age. Hiccups ! Dominique "Imperial" ANGLARES. |

Courville Nous venons d'apprendre le décès de Johnny Preston Courville, le 4 mars 2011, à l'hôpital Christus St. Elizabeth de Beaumont, Texas. Johnny Preston était né le 18 aout 1939 à Port Arthur (Texas) et commença sa carrière en 1957 comme membre de The Shades, un groupe de Groves (Texas), interprétant des morceaux de Fats Domino, The Clovers, Clyde McPhatter, Lloyd Price ou The Charms. En 1959, Le Big Bopper (Jape Richardson) lui proposa d'enregistrer son morceau "Runing Bear", lui fournissant par la même occasion les chorus avec George Jones, qui sortira sur le simple Mercury 71474. Le succès de ce morceau lui permis de faire une tournée en Angleterre en avril et mai 1960 où il interpreta son nouveau titre "Cradle Of Love" (Mercury 71598), co-écrit par Jackie Fautheree, le frère de Jimmy Lee Fautheree. Aux USA, il passa également à l’American Bandstand, au Milt Grant Show et à l' Arhur Murray Show et participa à des tournées avec Brenda Lee, Bobby Vee, Jerry Lee Lewis ou Jivin' Gene.

Hey Pardner, put your beret on, get your French loaf of bread, get a bottle of red wine "La Grappe Joyeuse". Grab la Marie, vingt dieux... and do the "Bois-en un coup du picrate Spo-Dee-O-Dee". If you dig it you can also get a "Trois Hermines" bottle of wine 'cause that's a nice blend between vinegar and acid that will make you blast off...

Music man Bobby Poe dies
at 77 Bobby Poe, who ran an influential radio tip sheet after careers as a rock 'n' roll performer and songwriter, died Jan. 22 of a blood clot in Vinita, Okla. He was 77. Poe played with black rockabilly singer-pianist Big Al Downing before forming Bobby Poe & the Poe Kats, which backed rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson in 1957-58. He went on to a career as an indie-label A&R and promotion man. In 1968, Poe founded the tip sheet Pop Music Survey. His operation's radio seminars and annual conventions became a hub for record biz movers and shakers of the old school and drew performances by top stars ranging from the Moody Blues to Crowded House. After folding his publication in 1996, Poe ran a music theater, the Grand Grove Opry, in Oklahoma. Christopher Morris |

The Velvatones make newspaper
pages Thanks to the work of ACE
records, Martin Hawkins, John Broven and Dave Sax, The Velvatones
had make them comeback on newspaper in 2003, 46 years after
they cut two sides for the legendary "Meteor" label
out of Memphis (Tennessee).
The Velvatones repertoire ranged from pop to current hits like "Seventeen" or "Be Bop a Lula" worked in a style close to the Chordettes or the Fontane Sisters. On them both sides cut in 1957, "Feeling Kinda Lonely / Real Gone Baby" (Meteor 5042), they are backed by Paul Buskirk, Frank Tolley and Johnny Bernero and two unknow musicians. It was them only record… A session set for June 1957 was cancelled and Julia Graves and Kay Ross got married. A new singer Marcia Watt was bring in and the band took the name of The Charmettes. By the summer of 1959, all five gals were married and their career together was over. To see them in a local newspaper
in 2003 was a great surprise and a welcome local reward. The
same happened to Bobby Lollar in 2009 after his complete story
was told in "Rock and Roll Revue". Imperial |

Patrice "Charlie" Barbat nous
a quitté Salut Charlie, De Wembley 72, moi avec mes amis Gilbert, Marco et Jean-Pierre, eux aussi malheureusement disparus, et toi avec tes potes en passant par Eindhoven, ou les soirées de Vierzon chez Beber, nos routes se sont souvent croisées. Je me rappelle nos phrases mutuelles qui nous faisaient beaucoup rire. Quand nous nous rencontrions tu me disais : "Tiens, voici le collectionneurs de EP'S", je te rétorquais : "Tiens, voila le collectionneur de singles" et nous partions d'un rire communicatif. Bien sur, tu étais bien plus que cela. Rappelles-toi Vierzon, quand, à la fin des années 70, j'avais ramené la vidéo du film "Hot Rod Gang", tu t'es levé (mon fils qui à aujourd'hui 47 ans s'en souvient encore) en me disant : "Qu'est ce tu nous fais là ?". Et on a repassé la vidéo au moins 3 ou 4 fois !!! Un autre jour à Vierzon, j'avais vendu tous mes singles Sun à Tony Marlow. "Tu fais une connerie !" fut ta réaction. Mais à l' époque, comme tu le disais si bien, les singles et moi "çà faisait deux". Puis, dans les années 80, piqué au vif, je me suis mis à en acheter des singles !...
Charlie, chaque fois que l'on se rencontrait, tu avais toujours une phrase gentille et sympa pour savoir si j'allais bien. Jamais je ne t'ai vu te plaindre. Puis tu as accepté d'écrire pour "Rock and Roll Revue". Maintenant je peux le dire, on devait faire quelque chose ensemble, mais la vie en a décidé autrement. Dernière vision que j'ai de toi, en dehors de nous voir et de discuter pendant des plombes dans les concerts, c'est le jour de la mort de Henry, quand malgré les critiques du "cureton de service" tu as passé sur un tourne-disque portatif un disque de Gene. Charlie tu nous a fait à tous un drôle de coup ! Restent Marcel, Bernard Boyat, Nanard Fidyk, Jacky, Dan Prioville, Boppin' Daniel, Phil Bourdin, Ding Dong et tant d'autres, eux comme moi, nous ne t'oublierons pas. Tu resteras à jamais dans nos cœurs. "Rock and Roll Revue" te consacrera une place importante et méritée dans son prochain numéro. Il est évident Charlie que Gene t'as accueilli au Rock and Roll Heaven. Il ne peut en être autrement, toi que j'appelais "Le Président". Big Joe |
