Legends

The music featured here didn't appear out of a vacuum. But those of us teenagers in Seasons time line, we didn't have a direct connection with the pioneers (or legends) of our music. Rock 'n' Roll radio was tamed in 1957 and wouldn't make a resurgence until The Beatles busted things up. Our access to the early singles was via their "greatest hits" packages. This led us to the rest of their bodies of work and how they influenced the bands covered. Drawing on influences of blues, folk, country and early rock 'n' roll, the artists of the day reached back into the vast library of American music. Blues artists are spotlighted on their own page; this page focuses on our "legends." Chuck, Elvis, Eddie & Gene, Sun Studios, and the multitude of singles that formed the roue of our stew. Each "legend" also has a "covers" section, highlighting songs that were popularized by these folks. Maybe not written by them, but still regarded as "theirs." To lessen the amount of bytes used, Elvis' covers of the other "legends" has been omitted. As has many of the medleys that feature a bunch of these songs (I'm looking at you, Cat Mother and Savoy Brown!). New in 2020: Each "hits" album now has a pop-up box (blue note) that has details of the songs on that album. Original label & number, release date, and peak Billboard Pop Chart number & date (and weeks at that high spot). Note that many of these artists had higher chart numbers on the R&B Charts. Originally added this info "inline" with the songs, but it looked to confusing, so you get the pop-up box. Now you don't have to look up that info. At the bottom is a series presenting what we considered "oldies." The Art Laboe story and the Oldies But Goodies records are just a click away. This compilation series belongs here (and not here) because these are the legendary singles that started this whole crazy ride. Many great artists and many great songs all in one place (well, 15 anyway).

Note: Kinda thin here, as a lot of Elvis' famous recordings were covers of other peoples versions. Hound Dog came from Big Mama Thornton
via Freddie Bell & The Bell Boys (exact same arrangement). Blue Suede Shoes should've put its original performer, Carl Perkins on the fast
track to fame 'n fortune, but he and the band got involved in an accident on the Joisey Turnpike on their way to do The Perry Como Show in
NYC. Life's sometimes a bitch. The listing for Stan Freberg makes up for that twist of fate.

Roy Orbison: a gift from the universe to entertain us mortals. Undescribably beautiful voice—no matter if he sang Oooby Dooby or Crying. Songs that cut to the heart of things. "But, wait, what do I see? Is she walking back to me?" Outstanding career in the late 50s/mid 60s—came back even stronger with The Traveling Wilburys . Too soon, the universe called Roy back. Just before he hooked up with George, Tom, and Bobby, Roy was working with Jeff Lynne on a comeback album and in the September of 1987 the most remarkable concert took place at The Coconut Grove in LA. Roy, in spectacular voice, is joined by Bruce, Elvis, Jackson, and James "Master of the Telecaster" Burton for a night of his greatest. Shot in black and white, it was shown on Cinemax the following January. If you don't own a copy of Black And White Night , you'll be excused while you open another tab and order a damn copy.

Larger than life itself, Antoine's stride piano style set the radio on fire in the 50s. Fats was also a session player, notably on Lloyd Prices' Lawdy Miss Clawdy. He made a comeback with Fats Is Backtitle in the summer of 1968. It included his version of two McCartney tunes Lovely Rita and Lady Madonna (which was based on Fats' style). It made the charts (barely).

Ronnie Spector passed away yesterday (1/12/2022). Her hits in the early 60s are the sounds we'll love until our passing. Brian Wilson absolutely loved Ronnie's Be My Baby and wrote Don't Worry Baby as an answer record. Side note: She loved the song, but husband would not let her record it. Youtube link . In those early days, she recorded for a very talented record producer whose method was termed "wall of sound." Ronnie (& The Ronettes), The Crystals (with La La Brooks and then Darlene Love in the lead), and The Righteous Brothers sure made our car radios blast in the early-mid 60s with these dynamic records (25 top 20 Billboard hits, 1958-1971). This producer used a core of musicians called The Wrecking Crew that included Leon Russell (keys), Carol Kaye (bass), Hal Blaine (drums), Barney Kessel, Glen Campbell, and Tommy Tedesco (g). Add strings and horns and the result was magic. Made the best Christmas record ever. He also worked with The Fab Four (as a group and individually). The producer was also a monster of a human being, ending up in jail for murder. Which is why it's hard to mention his name amidst all the great music he gave us. This two-record set has all of the songs we've memorized. Enjoy the music.
