John Gary Williams was a member of the Mad Lads, who were signed to Stax Records in the early Sixties, while he was still in high school. They had several R&B hits, including "I Don't Have to Shop Around," and "I Want Someone."Williams decided to go solo in the early Seventies, recording a fantastic debut, self-titled album in 1973. Full of lush strings, funky rhythms, and Williams' falsetto overtop, it should've been a smash hit. Yet, distribution problems kept his album from getting into key markets like Detroit and Chicago.Now, over 40 years later, his album is finally getting a proper release, as part of Stax Records' 60th anniversary celebration.We chat with Williams about his early days in the Mad Lads, who were much closer to New York Doo Wop, than Memphis Soul. Plus, he talks about an upcoming movie that's in production about his life. And, he takes us track by track through the reissue of his debut
Today's Guest: Jeff Garlin, comedian, actor, "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Goldbergs" Order 'I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With" from Amazon.com by clicking on the DVD cover above! Today is a great day to be Jeff Garlin. And for him, tomorrow will probably be an even better day. The sixth season of the hugely popular and hysterically funny HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” starring Larry David and co-starring Garlin, is now underway. But even better, I suspect, for Garlin is that his first movie as writer, director, and star, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, opened on September 5. The New York Times greeted Garlin’s Cheese this way: laid back and affectionate, Cheese is the movie version of a dear friend you could spend all day with. Not bad for a guy from Chicago.
