From Gospel to Stage: The Inspiring Journey of Mel WilliamsVIDEO VERSION AVAILABE ON YOUTUBE! https://youtu.be/nTijYXv4MPs..Join us as we take a walk down memory lane with the incredibly talented Mel Williams! From his early days with Miami's The Hot Buttered Soul Band, rehearsing at Harry Casey's mom's house in Hialeah, who later would become KC of KC and the Sunshine Band, his time with gospel group Prophecy at Glendale Baptist Church in Miami, opening for "The Queen of Gospel" Shirley Caesar, his adventures with The International Platters, including a 6-month stint in the Grand Canary Islands in Spain, and recording in the home studio of original Commodores founding member, Walter Orange.With a career spanning six decades, sharing the stage with legends like Bo Diddley, Clarence Carter, The Righteous Brothers, Peggy Marsh, and Dion, Mel's stories are a testament to his passion and dedication to music and performing. Get ready to be inspired by his journey, and laugh at his behind-the-scenes stories.

The Talking Heads is known as one of the more quirky bands of the 70's and 80's, and terribly innovative in their approach to both music and performance.  Consisting of Tina Weymouth on bass, Chris Frantz on drums, Jerry Harrison on keyboards and guitar, and fronted by David Byrne on vocals and guitar, the Talking Heads helped to shape the landscape of alternative and new wave rock through the 80's and 90's.  They really hit mainstream consciousness with their fifth album called "Speaking in Tongues" in 1983.  They followed this up with the live album "Stop Making Sense," which showcased the elaborate stage setups and their visual presence, complete with Byrne's iconic "big suit" fashion wear.Little Creatures was their sixth studio album and the best selling album of the group's career.  The Talking Heads toned down their experimental tendencies on this one in favor of a more stripped-down, accessible approach.  While there are still elements of art music and new wave present in the tracks, they play a more whimsical role.  The songs blend in pop, folk, and country influences as well, giving the album a bright, catchy feel in addition to the wit and quirkiness for which the group was known.The album cover was created by artist Howard Finster, and incorporates themes of Americana and everyday life.  This complemented the songs well, and was selected by Rolling Sone magazine as the album cover of the year.The group would go on to produce two more studio albums before disbanding in 1991.  They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.Show co-founder Brian Dickhute is back to present this album in Bruce's absence for today's podcast.  The Lady Don't MindThere's a certain amount of weirdness that is difficult to explain in the lyrics of just about every Talking Heads song, and this is no exception.  This reggae-tinged song talks about a lady who is hard to pin down or figure out.  "Last time she jumped out the window, well, she only turned and smiled.  You might think she would say something, but you'd have to wait a while."  Perfect WorldWhile most songs were written by David Byrne, this one features lyrics composed years earlier by drummer Chris Frantz.  It is a deeper cut, and a mini-love story. Stay Up LateThis track was the fourth single released from the album.  It is a song about Byrne's sister's baby, and describes an adult keeping the baby up late despite the consequences, just to have fun and enjoy this new life.  Road to NowhereThis song was released as a single, and went to number 25 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.  Byrne describes it as "a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom."  The gospel choir that leads off the track was added after the song was concluded to complete what is essentially a two-chord song. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Soul Finger by the Bar-Kays (from the motion picture Spies Like Us)Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd star in this spy comedy where novice spies are sent into the Soviet Union.STAFF PICKS:West End Girls by Pet Shop BoysLynch starts the staff picks with a song about class and pressures of city life in London, inspired by a T.S. Eliot poem.  It was released twice as a single, once in April 1984 when it became a club hit, and this version as a re-recorded single in October 1985.  It went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.It's Not Love by DokkenWayne takes us in a more hair metal direction with a head banger tune from Dokken's third album, "Under Lock and Key."  This was the third single released from the album.  The video contains scenes where the band is playing from a flat bed truck, and was actually recorded on the road.  They received several tickets during the process, despite having permission to film.Magic Power by TriumphRob features a Canadian power trio from their live double album, “Stages.”  Originally recorded on their studio album, “Allied Forces,” the song describes the healing power of music.  It is one of the group's signature songs, and the live  format gives a good sense of the band's chemistry on stage.Tonight She Comes by The CarsBrian closes out the staff picks with a previously unreleased song from the Cars' Greatest Hits album, released in October 1985.  Ric Ocasek wrote the song, and originally intended it for his solo album, but brought it to the group instead.   It was their fourth and last single to be a top 10 hit. NOVELTY TRACK:Strokin' by Clarence CarterWe find out how Clarence Carter makes love in this concluding track from this week's podcast.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Label: Atlantic 2605Year: 1969Condition: M-Price: $8.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole. Did Clarence Carter make ANY bad singles? Well, the closest he came may have been 'Patches,' which is the one most folks know since it was his biggest hit. But even 'Patches' has its charms. The rest are masterpieces of soul, like this one. By the way, it's the Deep Soul flip of this 45 that made Dave Marsh's list all the way up at #61... not that the Funky uptempo A side is unworthy of your affection! Have a listen to the mp3 snippet to see what I mean. Note: These copies may have some very light storage wear, which is why the Vinyl is graded Near Mint. The drillhole may appear at a different spot than shown in the scan.

Exploring the Soulful Melodies of Blues Christmas Music Journey through the evocative world of blues Christmas music, discovering its historical roots and modern interpretations that have shaped holiday traditions. As the holiday season unfolds, the rich and emotional world of blues Christmas music offers a unique auditory experience. This genre, known for its heartfelt expressions and deep-rooted cultural significance, beautifully intertwines with the festive spirit, creating a distinct blend of melancholy and joy. The tradition of blues in Christmas music stretches back to the genre's early days. Pioneers like Blind Lemon Jefferson masterfully combined their soulful melodies with festive themes, imparting a poignant depth to the holiday season. Jefferson, who tragically passed just before Christmas in 1929, left an enduring legacy in this niche, highlighting the blues' capacity to convey a spectrum of human emotions during this joyous time. Featured Blues Christmas Songs and Artists Lightnin' Hopkins - "Merry Christmas": A classic released in 1953, this song exemplifies the traditional blues sound infused with holiday cheer, showcasing Hopkins' storytelling prowess. Jimmy Witherspoon - "How I Hate To See Xmas Come Around": This 1948 melancholic classic reflects the blues' ability to express the more somber aspects of the festive season. Sister Rosetta Tharpe - "O Little Town of Bethlehem": A gospel-blues rendition of a classic carol, highlighting Tharpe's spiritual roots and vocal power. Charles Brown - "Merry Christmas": A pivotal 1947 track that has become a cornerstone in the blues Christmas music repertoire. Chuck Berry - "Spending Christmas": Berry's 1964 ballad, a sentimental deviation from his usual upbeat style, showcases the emotional range of blues during Christmas. Albert King - "Christmas (Comes But Once A Year)": An illustration of how blues can adapt and evolve, blending festive cheer with soulful rhythms. Clarence Carter - "Back Door Santa": A playful and funky 1968 song that adds a unique narrative to Christmas music. The blues genre's adaptability is further exemplified by contemporary artists who have reinterpreted classic Christmas blues songs. Eric Clapton's 2018 Christmas album and Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" are prime examples of how modern musicians infuse blues elements into holiday music, bridging genres and generations. The emotional depth and versatility of blues music shine particularly bright during the holiday season. Its ability to encapsulate the range of festive emotions, from reflective melancholy to joyous celebration, is what makes blues Christmas music a timeless and integral part of holiday traditions.

I've been listening to Clarence Carter for years, and I was always hoping to be able to use “Strokin'” in a movie. “Strokin'” is one of the great American songs. To me, he was the Mozart of Southern music. You can almost never hear “Strokin'” on the radio, not in this politically correct world. So I thought I should give this to the audience — it has nothing to do with the picture. There's a disc jockey in all of us, and I just wanted to share “Strokin'” with all of you. Why not? Where are you gonna go and hear “Strokin'” in this day and age? Where? Nowhere! Here, that's it! I mean, if I were doing a movie about the life of Beethoven, I would use “Strokin'” on the end credits. Or Shakespeare! You know, if I was doing Hamlet, imagine ending it after Hamlet's death, and the funeral oration by Horatio or Fortinbras, then you hear “Strokin'.” And that sends you right out of your chair – YES! It's not about a guy who got killed in a duel, and killed his uncle because his father's ghost told him that his uncle was sleeping with his mother and he had to kill his uncle… what a stupid plotline that is. Now if you end it with “Strokin'” you have a whole other kettle of fish. The audience goes out bopping. Strokin'. -- William Friedkin

Clarence discusses more of his recent releases, including the Rejected Ones collection, and Damn Ernie, now available on Audible narrated by Todd Waites.

Noah and Bill are sneakily taken in by a reality TV show crew as we look at the Emmy-nom-bolstered FreeVee show on everyone's lips. @noahandbillshow -- @williamscurry -- @noahtarnow This week's theme: "The Court Room” by Clarence Carter. New episodes every Monday morning on Spotify, Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher, and GooglePlay!

The first of the six covers that appear on Please Please Me is a mid-tempo ballad called “Anna (Go to Him),” which was written and first recorded by Arthur Alexander. Chances are that most people who hear the version sung by John Lennon have no idea who Arthur Alexander is—but the Beatles certainly knew, and so did the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan: Alexander is reportedly the only songwriter whose tunes have appeared on studio albums by those three hallowed acts. Elvis Presley recorded one of his songs as well—albeit one that Alexander co-wrote—and so did Otis Redding and Tina Turner and Jerry Lee Lewis and Percy Sledge.Don Covay  recorded for several labels, including Blaze, Sue, Big Top, Fire, Arnold, Fleetwood, Columbia, Epic and Scepter, releasing 'Popeye Waddle' b/w 'One Little Boy Had Money' in 1962 for Cameo Parkway, which became a hit.Don was, by now, recording solo material, and material under the name of Don Covay and the Goodtimers.He penned the U.S. number 1 single 'Pony Time' for Chubby Checker, wrote a hit song called 'I'm Hanging Up My Heart for You', for the Soul singer Solomon Burke, and wrote for Gladys Knight & The Pips, penning 'Letter Full of Tears', which made the top 20.Don formed partnerships with several associates including Horace Ott and Ronnie Miller.In 1964, when he signed to the Rosemart label.His debut single there with the Goodtimers, 'Mercy Mercy' featured Jimi Hendrix on guitar.The following year, Jimi Hendrix played again on the follow up single 'Take This Hurt Off Me' b/w 'Please Don't Let Me Know'.Clarence Carter didn't have it easy while growing up in Alabama; and being Black and blind was an extra burden, but he has overcome many other obstacles in so many ways. “I feel incredibly good about what I've been able to accomplish, but it was not easy. Our world presents challenges and barriers to success for people with disabilities, but I always wanted more in life and believe that the ADA helped me get to where I am today.”I would like to say that Carter now has three “B's” behind his name, Black, Blind and Blessed. Carter is known for serious Blues music, which includes a string of R&B hits. The songs “Back Door Santa,” “Slip Away,” “Patches,” “Too Weak to Fight” and the dance hall hit “Strokin” are part of his Blues legacy.

Did you know that a little town in Alabama called Muscle Shoals played a significant role in the development of music in the United States? In this episode Unexpected Adventures in North Alabama, Rodney Hall, co-owner and president of Fame Recording Studios, shares the fascinating story of how his father, Rick Hall, started the studio in the early 1960s and created a unique sound that became famous worldwide. Rodney shares some exciting stories about the studio including the recording of the hit song "Patches" by Clarence Carter and working with famous musicians like Steven Tyler, Alicia Keys, and Gregg Allman. Rodney also talks about the close-knit music community in Muscle Shoals and how the environment and people in the area make all the difference to the music that is recorded there.
