#1 Record by Big Star: The Blueprint for Power Pop

Released in 1972, #1 Record is the debut album by Big Star, a band from Memphis, Tennessee that blended British Invasion melodies with Southern soul and jangly guitar pop. Though it wasn't a commercial success upon release, the album became one of the most influential records in rock history — laying the groundwork for what would later be called power pop.Led by Alex Chilton (formerly of The Box Tops) and Chris Bell, the album is full of shimmering harmonies, chiming guitars, and bittersweet lyrics about youth, love, and longing. Songs like “The Ballad of El Goodo”, “Thirteen”, and “When My Baby's Beside Me” showcase the band's knack for melody and emotional depth, while tracks such as “Feel” and “Don't Lie to Me” add a raw rock edge.Despite glowing reviews, poor distribution from their label, Ardent Records (through Stax), meant #1 Record didn't reach a wide audience at the time. However, its influence can be heard in countless bands that followed, including R.E.M., The Replacements, Teenage Fanclub, and Wilco. Today, it's celebrated as a cornerstone of American pop-rock, a perfect mix of heartache and harmony that captures both the innocence and melancholy of early 1970s youth.

Now an entrepreneur and business coach, Sara opens up about the lessons she's learned in building and scaling businesses, including the importance of accountability, fostering creativity, and empowering teams. She shares insights on leadership, overcoming the fear of failure, and creating a culture where people thrive. Plus, she previews the upcoming Seven Figure Summit, an event designed to help business owners turn insights into action. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a business leader, or simply looking for inspiration, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways on growth, resilience, and purpose. Takeaways: Stepping outside of established systems and questioning traditional processes can lead to growth and innovation within an organization.Grassroots efforts, particularly those driven by passionate individuals, can create meaningful impact and drive brand loyalty.Success is amplified when leadership empowers teams, communicates clear expectations, and fosters accountability.Organizations thrive when employees feel safe to experiment, take risks, and bring forth new ideas without fear of failure.Business owners should aim to build systems that allow them to step away while maintaining stability and growth.Bringing in outside expertise, whether through coaching, consulting, or new hires, can reveal hidden inefficiencies and provide fresh solutions.Attending events and gaining knowledge is valuable, but creating an actionable plan ensures that new strategies are implemented effectively.

1967 - September: The Four Tops "Reach Out"

What the Riff?!?

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 15, 2024 31:44


One of the groups that defined the Motown sound was the Detroit Quartet known as The Four Tops.  The group originally called themselves the Four Aims, but changed the name to avoid confusion with the Ames Brothers.  The group was composed of Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson, Lawrence Payton, and lead singer Levi Stubbs, four boys who met at Pershing High School and would remain in the same lineup as the Four Tops from 1953 through 1997.The quartet signed to Chess Records in 1956, but did not experience success with that label.  In fact they would not find significant success with multiple records including Red Top, Riverside Records, and Columbia Records for the next seven years.  What they would gain is a lot of opportunities to polish their act and stage presence with extensive touring.  Berry Gordy Jr. convinced them to move to Motown in 1963, initially to record jazz standards and sing backup.  At Motown they experienced success in their own right.Reach Out is their fourth studio album, and their biggest selling album.  The Four Tops had multiple hits, primarily through the writing of the Motown team known as Holland-Dozier-Holland.  Reach Out would be their last album with that songwriting team, as Holland-Dozier-Holland left Motown shortly after this album was recorded.  It went to number 11 on the Billboard Top LP's chart.The Four Tops were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and still perform today, with Duke Fakir as the sole original member.Bruce presents this soulful album in this week's podcast. BernadetteThis song was released in February of 1967 and reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It would be the final top 10 hit for the Four Tops in the 1960's.  The song is a plea from the boy to Bernadette to stick with him.  Standing In the Shadows of LoveThis single is a heartbreak song about sleepless nights and soul searching for what went wrong.  It hit number 2 on the soul charts and number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967.  It is a bit of a reworked song, as the Supremes had a B-side in 1963 called "Standing at the Crossroads of Love."Last Train to ClarksvilleReach Out was a mixture of original songs and covers, and this song made famous by the Monkees is one of the covers.  They also included "If I Were a Carpenter," "Walk Away Renee," and "I'm A Believer" on this album. Reach Out I'll Be ThereHere is the signature song of the Four Tops.  It was released in 1966 and spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.  It alternates between a minor and major key, giving it a Russian feel in the verse and a gospel feel in the chorus according to Lamont Dozier.  The writers intentionally put Levi Stubbs at the top of his vocal range to make sure there was a hunger and wailing in his voice.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Light My Fire by The DoorsThe Doors appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show was their first and last when they promised to change the lyrics "girl we couldn't get much higher," only to leave them unedited in the live performance. STAFF PICKS:Brown Eyed Girl by Van MorrisonLynch launches the staff picks with this hit single off Morrison's debut album, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The nostalgic lyrics which seem tame today were considered too suggestive for the time and were banned by some radio stations.  However, it remains popular today, and as of 2015 was the most downloaded and played song of the entire 60's decade.The Letter  by The Box TopsRob features a short song with a blue-eyed soul feel.  The Box Tops took this song to number 1 on the charts, making it The Box Tops best seller.  Joe Coker would cover this in 1970, and take it to number 7 on the charts.  The producer overdubbed the song with an airplane sound he located at a local library.Testify by ParliamentWayne brings us an early hit from George Clinton and Parliament before their Funkadelic days.  Actually, George Clinton is the only member of Parliament who is recorded on this song.  The group was based in New Jersey and the other members were not able to travel to Detroit for the recording.  As a result, Clinton is joined by local session musicians and singers to complete the song.Funky Broadway by Wilson PickettBruce closes out the staff picks with a song that Pickett picked up from Arlester “Dyke” Christian.  Dyke Christian was living in Phoenix and playing with a group called Dyke & the Blazers.  Unfortunatley in 1971 Dyke Christian was shot to death at the age of 27.  This is the first charting single with the word "funk" in the title. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Groovin' by Booker T. & the M.G.'sWe finish off with an instrumental cover of the ballad made famous by The Rascals.

The song was long forgotten until Limits co-founder Rook Jones, found some demo singles, and sent them to Levy. After sending to Cleopatra Records (the Limits label), President Brian Perera immediately asked to release the song because of how hauntingly beautiful and powerful it is.

Sam hosts journalist Ann Neumann to discuss her recent piece in Harper's, "Falling Like Leaves: The war in Ethiopia and its crimes against civilians". Then, Sam's joined by Dawn Tefft, a Lead Organizer with Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC), and Sam Harshner, organizer and Adjunct Instructor of Political Science and History at Marquette University, to discuss their work with EWOC and its central mission. First, Sam runs through updates on Biden's State of the Union speech, the rising death roll in the wake of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the Democrats sweeping Pennsylvania's special election, the Fed continuing their attack on labor, and the House GOP launching their investigation into Hunter Biden's d*ck pics, before diving into the contrast between Biden's tack towards bipartisanship and Sarah Huckabee Sanders' statements that she's nothing like Joe Biden. Ann Neumann then joins as she walks through the last five years of Ethiopian conflict, beginning with the protests and riots breaking out in 2016 and led to myriad resignations across the Ethiopian government and the assumption of Abiy Ahmed to the Prime Ministership, who immediately stepped in to sign a peace treaty with Isaias Afwerki to end the multi-decade Eritrean-Ethiopian border conflict – a move that would earn Ahmed a Nobel Peace Prize, only for it to become apparent that, as a part of the treaty, there was an agreement to turn against their common enemy of Tigray. After a brief conversation on the role of Tigray and Eritrea in the liberation of Ethiopia from the Derg regime, Neumann parses through the role of the US in propping up various leaders in Eritrea and Ethiopia in the shift towards neocolonialism, with Abiy Ahmed being a particular darling of the west. Wrapping up the interview, Ann walks Sam through the crimes against civilians that have come through Ethiopia's strict information blockade, from outright violence and violation to the manipulation of food and medicine, and how the information blockade itself developed. Dawn Tefft and Sam Harshner dive right into the creation of the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee in early 2020 in response to the impact of the pandemic on workplaces, with the DSA joining with United Electorate to help sponsor and strategize labor organizing and the establishment of unions across the US in the fight for safe workplace policy in a pandemic. After briefly touching on EWOC's work at Marquette University, Dawn and Sam walk through the biggest challenges that faced workplace organizing throughout the pandemic, and how easy it is for workers to unite over mediocre and unsafe working conditions. And in the Fun Half: Sam and the MR Crew tackle Biden baiting the Right into committing to Social Security and Medicare, Frank Luntz's response on (s)quack box, and other highlights from Biden's State of the Union. Nine from Seattle dives into Eritrea's relationship to colonialism and colonization, Ryan from Ohio dives into the disaster train derailment that has taken his house, and Chad from NYC rants against corporate “charity” as per the development of Box Tops.

Mick and the PhatMan Talking Music

Joe Cocker was a staple of the rock world for around 50 years. His career took off with two songs gifted him by The Beatles (“She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”, “With A Little Help from My Friends”) and a brilliant cover of The Box Tops' “The Letter”, and was almost destroyed by the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour, album and film.    This week's “Album You Must Listen to Before You Die” is “Juju” by Siouxsie and the Banshees. This outstanding 1981 work is celebrated as a Gothic masterpiece. Siouxsie's sonorous voice contrasts with John McGeoch's wonderful guitar weaving a tapestry through a huge rhythm section.    Jeff has a rant about the humble pogo stick gaining new life as a 21st Century mode of travel, while Mick talks about “Trainwreck” - a documentary about the disaster that was Woodstock ‘99, a poorly-planned festival meant to celebrate the original Woodstock.  A lot to cover in an hour! Extreme PogoJoe Cocker Playlist

For the 50th anniversary of Big Star's iconic debut, #1 RECORD, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Chris Bell, Andy Hummel and Jody Stephens had taken recording classes from Ardent Studios owner, John Fry, they began to learn the art of recording. John Fry generously allowed them to use the studio during the night as they recorded under the names, Icewater and Rock City. Meanwhile, Alex Chilton had quit the Box Tops and was living in New York City before deciding to return to his hometown of Memphis. Chris Bell invited him to join the band as they began recording what would become #1 RECORD. In this episode, Big Star drummer, Jody Stephens describes being a teenager caught under the spell of his bandmates' talents and the creative environment of Ardent Studios. Engineer/keyboardist, Terry Manning, reflects on his close friendships with Chris Bell, Alex Chilton and the Big Star clique, and his contributions to #1 RECORD. Holly George-Warren, author of A Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, from Box Tops to Big Star to Backdoor Man, discusses Alex Chilton's unlikely journey of being the 16-year-old lead singer of a hit group to learning to be a songwriter and an independent person. Rich Tupica, author of There Was a Light: The Cosmic History of Chris Bell and the Rise of Big Star, describes Chris Bell's sonic vision for #1 RECORD as well as his deterioration in the aftermath of the failure of its release. From wanting to be the Memphis Beatles to endless hours of recording through the night to bringing motorcycles into the studio to Alex discovering a new voice to the Bell/Chilton collaboration and rivalry to the distribution disaster, we'll hear the stories of how the album came together.
