Avante: You A Backdoor Man?

^ That's relatively well-known information for people who are into music tbh.

I bet only you and me knew that "here", you disagree?

We don't see much depth "here" I'm sure you've noticed that.

Probably.

[Avante]

Probably.

I could ask the question..."what Atlanta DJ was instrumental in getting Little Richards career started?"...and I gurantee you or anyone else here wouldn't have a clue.

You're right. I don't know.

[Avante]

You're right. I don't know.

That would be WGST's Zenas Sears. He knew about Richard Perriman, so he talked to Steve Sholes about him, you do know who he is, right?

[ohmwrecker]

Yeah. I know who Steve Sholes is... I knew Little Richard got his break based on a radio performance in Atlanta, but I didn't know the dj.

[Avante]

Yeah. I know who Steve Sholes is... I knew Little Richard got his break based on a radio performance in Atlanta, but I didn't know the dj.

I have his very first recording right here in my hands, you'd never know it was Little Richard. The song is..."Get Rich Quick"....from 1951. I am talking on CD, wish it was the record.

The CD...That's All Right. Songs that shaped rock & roll, each song has a little story, yep, that's where I learned about all this.

I learned about Esquerita from "The Roots & Rhythm Guide to Rock.

Junior Wells my fav singer/harmonica man.



Those white kids have no clue what the is going on, hahaha!

So I find Judy in the bedroom watching Ghost, she loves that movie. I walk right in the middle of ...the scene....you know the one as Bobby Hatfield sings "Unchained Melody".

After the moment...

me...ya know that's actually an old song?
Judy...let me guess, an old blind black man wrote it in 1910, right?
me..cute! It was first recorded in 1954/1955.
Judy....really, so do you have it?
me...wish I did. Wanna hear it on youtube?
Judy...sure!






Actually a whole gang of singers recorded the song (even Elvis) before The Righteous Brothers. But that version is considered the original.

[Avante]

This will be the start of a mix tape (tape deck in truck) I'll be recording later tonight. I'm looking for a mood, it's always about setting the mood. I do have a direction I'm going as you'll see.
