Six-Figure Note Investing in 2025: Scott Carson's Proven StrategyScott Carson recently released a webinar revealing a proven strategy for making six figures in real estate note investing. He addresses the common investor frustration of being stuck in a 9-to-5 job, while dreaming of financial freedom. This webinar isn't just about theory; it's a practical guide packed with real-world examples and actionable strategies. Get ready to ditch the cubicle and embrace the life of a savvy note investor!Carson begins by emphasizing that this isn't a get-rich-quick scheme (sorry, no magic money trees here!). Instead, he presents a wealth-building strategy that, while demanding some effort, offers incredible potential for passive income and financial independence. He uses the analogy of building wealth through note investing as a strategic move to becoming a successful real estate mogul. It's about building wealth, not just making a quick buck!Carson's 5 Key Strategies for Note Investing Success:Here are the five key takeaways from the webinar to get you started on your path to making serious money:Understand the Power of OPM: Carson stresses the importance of using other people's money (OPM). This can be funding from family, friends, IRA investors, or private lenders. Remember: "OPM" doesn't stand for "Oh, Poor Me," it stands for "Other People's Money"!Target High-Value Assets: Focus on assets with a fair market value of at least $50,000. This provides a buffer for potential issues and allows for greater profit margins.The Art of Negotiation: Don't be afraid to negotiate! Carson advises that investors often don't ask for what they're worth.Re-performing vs. Non-performing: Carson covers both strategies, highlighting the higher returns of non-performing notes (with the caveat that they require more effort to resolve). He reminds listeners to always weigh risks and rewards.Marketing is King: Aggressive marketing and consistent networking are crucial for locating deals. If you aren't out there consistently marketing, it's like fishing without a rod!Going Beyond Six Figures:Carson shared a real-life example of his strategies to generate over $300,000 in annual income. This included a sizeable income from note sales, asking from the borrowers, and a substantial amount in monthly cash flow. This is not a theoretical exercise; this is real-world success!The Importance of Patience and Consistency:Carson emphasizes the importance of patience and persistence. Building wealth takes time; it's a marathon, not a sprint. He highlights the importance of consistent effort in marketing, finding deals, and nurturing relationships with investors.Conclusion:Carson's webinar offers a realistic and actionable blueprint for note investing success. By implementing his strategies and embracing a mindset of consistent action, aspiring investors can position themselves for significant financial gains and ultimately achieve financial freedom. Remember, it's not about the size of the fish; it's about having the right bait and knowing where to cast your line.Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with SCOTT HERE!Love the show?

Stop Feeling Sorry for Yourself! ... said Fran's psychic reader. We kick things off by exploring the concept of victim mentality, ( we like to call it "Poor Me "Mindset) and why it's important to shift our perspective from self-pity to self-empowerment. Are you taking everything around you too personally? Next, we get into the Victoria's Secret controversy and discuss whether companies should create entirely new initiatives for inclusivity or adapt existing brands. It's a conversation that sparks differing opinions, and we'd love to hear what you think....are some things meant to be "exclusive"? The bulk of our chat revolves around money – a big part of our lives. We delve into building a healthy relationship with money, spotting red flags related to impulsive spending, and the elusive concept of having "enough" money. We also get into the 3 day rule trick to help impulse spending. We'd love to hear your thoughts on these subjects, so drop your comments below.

Have you ever caught yourself trapped in the cycle of saying "Poor Me"? Do you sometimes find yourself succumbing to self-pity when things don't go as planned? It's a common inclination to allow external factors to dictate how we perceive the world around us—a state I refer to as our "way of being." How you show up in the world is not only a reflection of your internal state but can also influence those around you. Join me to discover how I overcame the "Poor Me" mentality and learn how The unSTUCK Method can empower you to do the same. www.shiragura.com

Today's episode is a little rant/sermon about the TRUTH about truth. Although truth may not be popular, knowledge of it WILL set you free. First, are you believing something that ISN'T true? We all have a S.O.L. STORY (although it may not be so sacred), of someone who's wronged us, told us a lie, wasn't honest or truthful. Disappointing, right? It can be devastating to a relationship. But what if that relationship is between your own heart and soul? Are you telling yourself, and believing, the truth? I'm sold out on truth (popular or not) for the following reason... It's the only thing that I've been able to stand on in the most devastating times, greatest loss, hardest, and most painful experiences. Truth and the knowledge of it have allowed me to live, stand, grow, and heal in freedom. I desire this for everyone I know and love, including you. My desire is that you know the truth. That you know what you believe, and why you believe it. To be able to ask questions, expose the truth and the lies. In all of my years as a Chiropractor, Healing Life Coach, and working with people, I've found that the ones who get the greatest breakthroughs are the ones that are willing to know the truth, and make decisions based on that truth. If not, it's like standing on a slippery rock, and trying not to fall. Even though truth isn't popular. It's the only thing that'll allow you to stand and live in freedom. When you have truth you can put your trust in something that's solid. In my SIX SACRED S.O.L. DATE SECRETS or AGREEMENTS, I've shared this TRUTH about truth… If it can't be interpreted at least two different ways, it's probably not true. How you see it matters. However, no matter how you look at a mountain, it's still a mountain. If your truth isn't allowing you to get what you desire, live the life you desire, and create the life you long for…then it's time to look at that “mountain” in a different way. Do you see possibility? Where there's truth, there's possibility. It gives you the opportunity to start making decisions. What are you going to choose? The truth or not? A lie will always disempower you. It's a one-way ticket to disaster. Are you willing to start looking at all the beliefs you have in your life, and asking what's true for you? Expand. Grow. Live. In freedom. Find the TRUTH, and you'll become unstoppable. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Be honest. Is there any area of your life that you feel as though you're not empowered? Is there a story in your mind and heart that says you're a victim, you can't, or “POOR ME”? Expose it. Write it down. Write down the truth about what you feel. Then ask yourself if it's true, and if there's another way to see it. Even though truth isn't popular, it IS the true path to freedom.

We did some more reconfiguring of our audio-visual area of the bedroom and, as often happens, needed new parts in the process. I went off to buy them while Lion configured things on the remote. The whole process took a few hours, and I didn't get a chance to write The post Poor Me appeared first on Male Chastity Journal.

In conflict situations we tend to step into familiar roles and often endlessly repeat the same unhelpful behaviour patterns. Karpman's Drama Triangle offers a useful model to understand the three roles that play out in these situations and what needs to be done to find a way out of these repetitive conflict scenarios.The three roles we can step into are that of The Victim, The Persecutor and The Rescuer.The person in the role of the victim feels oppressed, helpless and powerless and inferior. The stance in life is 'Poor Me'.The person in the role of the persecutor is blaming, oppressive, critical and superior. Their stance is 'It's all your fault'.The person in the rescuer role needs to help, find solutions, be supportive and allows the victim to fail. Their stance is "Let me help you'.We tend to have a preferred role that we play in conflict situations. This role was usually formed in our family of origin and is therefore very familiar. However, in the drama triangle we also switch roles from time to time when one position becomes untenable. A victim can become a rescuer or persecutor; a persecutor can become a rescuer or victim. Depending on the nature of your relationship you may be stuck in a particular familiar dance: one of you is always the victim, the other always the rescuer. One of you is always hard done by or helpless and the other needs to always support the other and enable your partner's difficulties.When stepping out of the drama triangle the aim is to act in a more adult way, rather than from the perspective of child or parent. For more background info on the adult/child/parent model listen to our podcast of 7 March 2021, How to use Transactional Analysis to communicate better.Nobody wins in being stuck in the Drama Triangle.  To step out of it you will need to develop more awareness of the role that you play and to take responsibility for your own feelings and behaviours.  Persecutors will need to learn to be more assertive rather than aggressive,  victims will need to learn to recognise their vulnerabilities and learn how to address them and rescuers will need to set more boundaries, allowing the other person to make their own decisions.We explore ways of communicating more effectively and dealing with conflict in much more detail in our online course The Relationship Maze. Check out our website to find out more and to access other resources.You can also get additional show notes on our podcast website.

Author Christian de la Huerta has so many amazing things to share and teach us about the hero's journey,  ego, the soulful self, and power plays as we discuss his book "Awakening the Soul of Power: How to Live Heroically and Set Yourself Free".Some takeaways:The empowerment of women is the single most important thing that needs to happen in the world in order in bring balance to the masculine and feminine energies. We are all heroes in daily life every time we transcend the human propensity to feel victimized. When we have the ability to pause and bring choice and not strike out. To start on the heroic journey you first have to answer the call and say yes. Then leave the comfort zone or the familiar and face struggle before coming home to share your wisdom.It is necessary to understand how our ego mind works because that is the source of all of our suffering.Our ego is a baseball in the center of a baseball stadium. Who we are is the stadium,  but we've allowed this small thing of ego to think it is all of who we are. And we are always making important decisions from this very small, fear based perspective. The ego is full of extremes. From feeling superior to feeling inferior in an instant. Treating ourselves as a victim or seeing ourselves as a victim is one of our blind spots. We have a vested interested in staying in the “Poor Me”. If only it wasn't for this or that, I'd be happy.On this heroic journey - if we hold someone or something outside of us responsible for our happiness or our state of being, we are giving our power away. Life is always going to throw us curveballs, we can always choose how we show up in response. And that slight refrain changes everything - it pops us out of victim mode.  Become aware of what the ego is and how it works and how it is getting you stuck in certain patterns. Self awareness is first step.Breaking out of the ego prison can't be done over night. It has to be done in bite sized pieces. Investigate In which relationships do you give your power away? Are there patterns and what are the circumstances?Breath work helps in healing of initial misunderstandings. Any self-awareness practice is recommended. It may be boring 90% of the time and your mind will wander. But the benefit is that it is a practice of becoming self aware and present. Our soulful self if our the higher self - our own authentic self. It is our own sacred real estate. If the divine is everywhere then its in us too. That's where our intuition and best potential and wisdom lives. The ego is the monkey mind and is so loud. It has something to say about everything and everybody. We have to learn out to quiet it through meditation so that we can hear the voice of our inner soul. While the ego has many words and big words, the soul uses simple language like yep, no, I wouldn't go there, etc.We get confused about power and we avoid conflict because we are afraid of our emotions. But emotions are energy. If we suppress those emotions they take their toll on us physically. We are the only ones that can give our power away.Christian and information about his workshops, retreats and coaching can be found readily at his website https://soulfulpower.com/His book can be found at Amazon at: https://amzn.to/3FMuKgAAs for me, I can be found at my website: https://llmcshane.com and you can follow me on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/lesleylmcshanePlease SHARE, RATE and REVIEW this podcast so that it can be found by others. That is your gift to me.Best always - LLM

I hope you have an amazing Christmas and you can hold on to the Hope that was born on Christmas. Thank you for listening! Here is a bonus Christmas Episode about having a holiday perspective.----Jesus continued toward Jerusalem and came to another village. Martha, a resident of that village, welcomed Jesus into her home. Her sister, Mary, went and sat at Jesus' feet, listening to Him teach. Meanwhile Martha was anxious about all the hospitality arrangements.Martha (interrupting Jesus): Lord, why don't You care that my sister is leaving me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to get over here and help me.Jesus: Oh Martha, Martha, you are so anxious and concerned about a million details, but really, only one thing matters. Mary has chosen that one thing, and I won't take it away from her.Luke 10:38 -42 The Voice          Our own stress and anxiety can be rooted in Comparison. Teddy Roosevelt's motto is true, that “comparison is the thief of joy.” "Let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't. – Romans 12:6 MSG  Set personal expectations Watch out for the “Poor Me” – martyr syndrome Martha went to the one person who can actually fix things“I will never leave you; I will always be by your side.”  Hebrews 13:5 Jesus didn't blame Martha for being concerned on what needed to be done.  Only one thing truly matters this Christmas season and every day of our life.  While he should be our one focus, the God of the universe is focused on you.  He wants to you be a part of His Story.Reflection Questions:1. What kind of comparison do you need to knock down and how is that currently stealing your joy?2. What is one way you can set realistic personal expectations?  It is okay to keep things simple.How to support The Parable PodcastSubscribe or Follow the show so you don't miss the next episode of The Parable Podcast through your favorite podcast app (i.e. iTunes, Spotify,Stitcher).  Join The Parable Podcast E-mail list so you can hear some of Danielle's own Parables and encouragement.

Would you like to be invincible beyond your wildest dreams? Now you can by following some of the tips we learned on Love University, as follows: *Use Failure to Grow Your Mental Muscles. Failure can be your best friend if you learn the lessons from your mistakes and grow as a human being. *Move From “Poor Me” to “Blessed I.” Instead of feeling sorry for yourself when you don't get what you want, turn the tables and think of all the things you can be grateful for—for all of your blessings in life. *Go Through the Pain Gap. Before you can have a strong mind and spirit, you need to go through some discomfort (pain gap)  As you get rid of your comfortable, yet self-defeating, mental patterns (procrastination, timidness), you will venture into a new place: Your Mountain of Invincibility. Being invincible doesn't mean that you will never fail or suffer loss and pain. It means that you will succeed and thrive, despite the failures, obstacles, and mistakes. Start today. Use failure to grow your mental muscles, move from “Poor Me” to “Blessed I,” and go through the Pain Gap. When you do that, your success and happiness will be assured.   CLICK HERE FOR YOUR COPY OF INVINCIBLE YOU, THE BOOK: shorturl.at/jqrB5  

First, are you believing something that ISN'T true? We all have a S.O.L. STORY (although it may not be so sacred), of someone who's wronged us, told us a lie, wasn't honest or truthful. Disappointing, right? It can be devastating to a relationship. But what if that relationship is between your own heart and soul? Are you telling yourself, and believing, the truth? I'm sold out on truth (popular or not) for the following reason... It's the only thing that I've been able to stand on in the most devastating times, greatest loss, hardest, and most painful experiences. Truth and the knowledge of it have allowed me to live, stand, grow, and heal in freedom. I desire this for everyone I know and love, including you. My desire is that you know the truth. That you know what you believe, and why you believe it. To be able to ask questions, expose the truth and the lies. In all of my years as a Chiropractor, Healing Life Coach, and working with people, I've found that the ones who get the greatest breakthroughs are the ones that are willing to know the truth, and make decisions based on that truth. If not, it's like standing on a slippery rock, and trying not to fall. Even though truth isn't popular. It's the only thing that'll allow you to stand and live in freedom. When you have truth you can put your trust in something that's solid. In my SIX SACRED S.O.L. DATE SECRETS or AGREEMENTS, I've shared this TRUTH about truth… If it can't be interpreted at least two different ways, it's probably not true. How you see it matters. However, no matter how you look at a mountain, it's still a mountain. If your truth isn't allowing you to get what you desire, live the life you desire, and create the life you long for…then it's time to look at that “mountain” in a different way. Do you see possibility? Where there's truth, there's possibility. It gives you the opportunity to start making decisions. What are you going to choose? The truth or not? A lie will always disempower you. It's a one-way ticket to disaster. Are you willing to start looking at all the beliefs you have in your life, and asking what's true for you? Expand. Grow. Live. In freedom. Find the TRUTH, and you'll become unstoppable. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Be honest.

Annette Funicello was not yet a teenager when Walt Disney tapped her to become one of his iconic Mouseketeers, and America watched as she developed into the quintessential girl-next-door in the slightly spicy Beach Party flicks.    She later showed herself to be a credible vocalist with hits such as Tall Paul and Pineapple Princess, and she became a popular guest on variety and talk shows.   No one knows why a person becomes afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis, not even the doctors, but that's what happened to Annette Funicello in 1987, when Annette was diagnosed with the debilitating disease.    But instead of saying “Poor Me,” she assisted in raising awareness of the disease through fund-raising events and establishing the Annette Funicello Research Fund for Neurological Diseases in 1993.      Stories from History's Dust Bin is a 3-volume set of historical short stories.  These are the nuggets of gold that had fallen by the wayside… the little known and unusual.  Many of these gems were destined to be forever lost until they were collected, dusted off and brought back to life by author Wayne Winterton.   Each podcast episode features one of over 450 short stories from either Winterton's Award-Winning Stories from Dust Bin series* or the companion volume, From Ace to Zamboni: 101 More Dust Bin Stories, as narrated by either the author or his son, William, or daughter, Jana.   If you enjoy today's episode, please leave us 5 stars and a glowing review on iTunes!  And if you don't want to wait a whole week to hear another story from the Dust Bin, consider picking up the books on Amazon (either downloadable or good ol' fashioned ink and paper).   The Entire History's Dust Bin Collection Is Available On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bDrip4

If you are in the eye of the storm, that means you're in the middle of it. You have come to the centre and you are surrounded by chaos. If you're just going to stay there, it will eat you alive, tear you apart and spit you out the other end distraught, destroyed, ruined and drained of all love and hope and passion. But have you even stopped to think that if you are in the eye of the storm, the centre of the chaos… that you are already halfway through it? That you have not only come a long way already, but you have grown stronger because of it, wiser thanks to it and despite your perception of "Poor Me", you have become a force to be reckoned with in your own regard.

Why not join them? Errata I repeatedly mispronounce Faith’s birth surname as “Nelham”. It was “Nelhams”, with an “s”. I also say that “Milk From the Coconut” by Johnny Gentle made the top thirty. It didn’t — I got this from an unreliable source. Transcript Today we’re going to take our last look at the pre-Beatles British pop world, and we’re going to look at a record that’s far more important in retrospect than it seemed at the time. We’re going to look at Adam Faith, and a track he recorded called “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”] As is normal for British rock and roll stars of the fifties, Adam Faith was a pseudonym, in this case for someone whose birth name is the subject of some debate — the registrar seems to have got a bit confused — but who was known as Terry Nelhams, a five-foot-five singer with high cheekbones, a strong chin, and a weak voice. The crucial change in Nelhams’ life had come at the cinema, when he had watched a film called Rebel Without A Cause, starring James Dean. Amazingly, I think we managed to get through the whole 1950s without mentioning Dean, but he was a massive figure in youth pop culture of the fifties, and his presence still resonated for decades afterwards. Dean only starred in three films, and only one, East of Eden, was released in his lifetime — he died in a car crash while the other two were in post-production — but his performance in the posthumously-released Rebel Without A Cause seemed to many teenagers of the time to encapsulate everything that they wanted to be.  And Terry Nelhams decided he wanted to be James Dean — why not? He bore a slight resemblance to him. Terry was going to go into showbiz. There was a problem, though — in the Britain of the fifties, acting was something that was largely the purview of the middle classes, and Terry was firmly working class. He lived on a council estate and went to a secondary modern — the schools which, in the fifties UK education system, were designed for people who were considered unlikely to succeed academically. There was no way he was going to end up studying at RADA or any of the other ways one got into acting. So he decided that rather than become a film star, he would become a director. That was much easier to get into than acting was, in the British film industry of the fifties — you got a job as a tea boy at a film studio, worked your way up into the editing suite, became an editor, and then became a director. There was a steady career path, and you had job security at every stage — and Terry Nelhams was someone who always looked after his money. So that’s what he did — he got a job at the Rank organisation as a messenger, then moved across to a company that made commercials for the new commercial TV network ITV, where he was an assistant editor. But while he was working at Rank, Nelhams had joined a skiffle group, the Worried Men — named after the skiffle standard — who had been formed by some of the younger employees. They became the resident band at the 2is when the Vipers Skiffle Group went out on tour. Despite all the stories about other people who had been discovered at the 2is on their first gig, the Worried Men ended up performing there for months before any kind of success. But then they did get a certain amount of fame, when Six-Five Special did its single most famous episode — a live outside broadcast from the 2is itself. As the house band, the Worried Men got to perform a few songs on that show, and they also got a couple of tracks on two Decca compilations, “Rockin’ at the 2is” and “Stars of the Six-Five Special”: [Excerpt: The Worried Men, “This Little Light”] But neither album sold particularly well, and the Worried Men slowly drifted apart — one member joined the Vipers, and Nelhams left before the group got in a couple of people we’ve already seen a few times in our story — both Tony Meehan, who would go on to join the Shadows, and Brian Bennett, who ended up replacing him, passed through the group. But while Nelhams had quit the Worried Men — as much as anything else because holding down a day job while he also played for four hours at the 2is every night was starting to affect his health — Jack Good remembered him from that one Six-Five Special appearance, and thought that his looks, if not his singing ability, gave him the potential to be a star.  Good changed Nelhams’ name to Adam Faith, and gave him a solo spot on Six-Five Special, as well as getting him a contract with HMV, one of several record labels owned by the large conglomerate EMI. His first single on HMV was “(Got A) Heartsick Feeling”, backed by Geoff Love and his Orchestra: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “(Got A) Heartsick Feeling”] That record was, of course, publicised on Six-Five Special, but the extent to which Faith’s star potential was based on his looks rather than his singing ability can probably be seen from the fact that after his first appearance on the show he mimed rather than sing live, unlike all the other performers. The record was not a success, and nor was his second single, a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “High School Confidential”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “High School Confidential”] Faith was unpopular, but he was able to give up his day job in the editing room to go on tour with a package based on Six-Five Special, at the bottom of the bill. And on that tour he became friendly with one of the other acts, John Barry, the trumpet playing leader of a group called the John Barry Seven. Barry had wanted to be an arranger for big bands, but when he realised that was no longer a viable career path, he’d formed his small group, who at the time were making records like “Zip Zip”, which were fairly awful early British rock and roll efforts, but with slightly more interesting instrumental arrangements than the bulk of the work being put out in the UK at that point: [Excerpt: The John Barry Seven, “Zip Zip”] When Jack Good moved over to ITV to do Oh Boy!, he took Faith with him, but Faith’s career was stagnating, and he quit performing altogether, and got another job as an assistant editor at Elstree studios, working on ATV shows like William Tell and The Invisible Man. But then Faith got a call from John Barry. The BBC were putting together a new show, Drumbeat, to compete with Oh Boy!, and they wanted their own star to compete with Cliff Richard and Marty Wilde. Would Adam be interested? He would — though he was cautious enough after last time that he kept his day job. He’d bunk off work on Thursday and Friday afternoons to rehearse and record the show, and make the time up on Sundays. His workmates covered for him when he bunked off, and that worked until his boss’ daughter mentioned to the boss that she’d seen Terry on the telly. He was told he had to choose between his pop career and a secure job, and he decided to make his pop career into a secure job, by getting a guaranteed six-month contract on Drumbeat before quitting Elstree. Drumbeat did little to make Faith’s records sell any more, but it did lead to acting appearances — as a biker in the police show No Hiding Place, and as a musician in a cheap exploitation film that was originally titled “Striptease Girl”, before the censors made the film producers cut the nudity out (except for foreign markets) at which point it was retitled Beat Girl in the UK, and Wild For Kicks in the US. It was hardly Rebel Without a Cause, but it was definitely a step in the right direction. The music for that film was done by Adam’s friend John Barry — the very first film score Barry ever did: [Excerpt: The John Barry Seven, “Beat Girl”] But Adam Faith was still a pop star without a hit, and that was a situation that couldn’t last. He was also temporarily without a record contract, but his new manager Eve Taylor managed to get him one with Parlophone, another EMI-owned label. And then his Drumbeat contacts came through in a big way.  One of the other acts who regularly appeared on the show was a group called the Raindrops, who featured a singer who had been born Yannis Skoradalides, but whose name had soon been anglicised to John Worsley. He’d then taken on the stage name Johnny Worth, which was the name he performed under, but he was also starting to write songs — and because he was under contract as a recording artist, he took on yet another name as a songwriter to avoid any legal complications, so he was writing as Les Vandyke. It was under that name that he wrote a song called “What Do You Want?”, which he played to Faith and Barry, his two colleagues on Drumbeat. They saw potential in it — a lot of potential. And John Barry had an idea for an instrumental gimmick. We’re now into 1959, and Buddy Holly’s “It Doesn’t Matter Any More” had just been a big posthumous hit for him: [Excerpt: Buddy Holly, “It Doesn’t Matter Any More”] The pizzicato strings, in particular, had caught the ear of a lot of people, and Barry had already used them in the arrangement he’d written for “Be Mine”, a record by the minor British pop star Lance Fortune: [Excerpt: Lance Fortune, “Be Mine”] That hadn’t been released yet – it went top five when it eventually was – and Barry thought that it was worth repeating the trick, and so he came up with a pizzicato arrangement for the song Vandyke had written. And for a final touch, Faith received some vocal coaching from another Drumbeat performer, Roy Young, who taught him how to mangle his vowels so that he could sing in what was, to British ears, almost a convincing imitation of Buddy Holly’s hiccupping vocal, particularly on the word “baby”. The result was a huge hit, becoming the first number one single ever on the Parlophone label: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “What Do You Want?”] Faith was now a real pop star at last. “What Do You Want?” was also one of the very rare British records to actually get an American cover version — Bobby Vee, the Buddy Holly soundalike, picked up on the record and issued his own version of it: [Excerpt: Bobby Vee, “What Do You Want?”] That wasn’t a success, but as Vee became a star he would occasionally record versions of other songs Faith recorded. Faith’s second Parlophone single was another number one, and another song written by Les Vandyke and arranged by John Barry. It was very much “What Do You Want?” part two, but there was an interesting musical figure Barry came up with in the intro: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “Poor Me”] In the 1990s, Barry used that as evidence in a court case over his claim to authorship of the piece of music with which he is most associated, a piece arranged and performed by Barry, but whose credited writer is Monty Norman. Compare and contrast “Poor Me”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “Poor Me”] And the James Bond theme: [Excerpt: John Barry, “James Bond Theme”] For the next couple of years, Faith had a string of hits, mostly written by Vandyke and arranged by Barry, though no more number ones. By most metrics — in hits, record sales, and fan appeal — he was the second-biggest British pop star of the early sixties, after Cliff Richard.  He also became well known as a media personality, thanks in large part to his appearance on the interview show Face to Face. This was a TV programme that ran from 1959 through 1962 — almost the precise same length as Faith’s pop career — and which had interviewer John Freeman sat with his back to the camera, while the studio was largely in darkness other than the face of the person he was interviewing. Freeman’s questions seem in the modern media landscape to be remarkably gentle, but in the early sixties he was regarded as the most incisive and probing interviewer in the British media. He reduced at least one subject, Gilbert Harding, to tears, and his questioning of Tony Hancock is popularly supposed to have started Hancock into the spiral of questioning, self-doubt, and depression that led first to his career crashing and burning and eventually to his suicide. Most of the guests that Freeman had on the show were serious, important, highbrow people. The thirty-five episodes of the show included interviews with Bertrand Russell, Carl Jung, Adlai Stevenson, Henry Moore, Martin Luther King and Jomo Kenyatta. But occasionally there would be someone invited on from the world of sport or entertainment, and Faith was invited on to the show as a representative of youth culture and pop music. The questions asked on the show were clearly designed to make Faith — a twenty-year-old pop singer who went to a secondary modern and still lived on a council estate even now he’d hit the big time — seem a laughing stock, and to poke holes in his image. Everyone involved seems to have been surprised when he came across as a well-read, cultured, if rather mercenary, young man who could string three words together: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “Face to Face”, interview questions about classical music and literature] As a result of that appearance, Faith was increasingly asked on to TV shows to be “the voice of the youth”, particularly as he was the first pop star to admit to things like having sex before marriage. He debated with the Archbishop of York about religion on national TV, in a debate chaired by Ludovic Kennedy, and Faith was largely viewed as having come out better than the bishop. He also took at least one brave political stand in 1964. He had been booked to tour in South Africa, and agreed to do so only under the condition that he would perform only to integrated audiences. But when he got on stage for one show, he saw the police dragging two young girls out of an otherwise all-white audience, because they weren’t white. He walked off stage, and refused to do the rest of the tour. The promoter demanded compensation, and Faith refused, saying he’d made clear that he was only going to play to integrated audiences. He tried to leave the country, booking plane tickets under his birth name to escape suspicion, but was dragged off the plane at gunpoint by South African police. Eventually the intervention of the chairman of EMI, the British Foreign Secretary, the general secretary of Equity, the actor’s union, and several brave journalists who said that if Faith was imprisoned they would go to prison with him, meant that Faith was allowed to leave the country, though EMI paid the promoter’s compensation and took it out of Faith’s future royalties. Not that there were many royalties by that point. In early 1963, John Barry had stopped working with Faith to concentrate on his film music — he’d just started working on the Bond films that would make his name — and the hits dried up then, especially when musical styles suddenly changed in the middle of that year. But Faith had managed to parlay his looks into an acting career by that point, and over the next decade he appeared in several films, starred in the TV series Budgie, and toured in repertory theatre. He also became a manager and producer, managing Leo Sayer and producing Roger Daltrey’s solo recordings. He would occasionally make the odd record himself, up to the nineties, with his final single being a duet with Daltrey on a cover version of “Stuck in the Middle With You”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith and Roger Daltrey, “Stuck in the Middle With You”] But as someone who looked after his money, Faith had been far more canny than most of his fellow pop stars, and for much of his life he was a very wealthy man. While he continued performing, his main role in the eighties and nineties was as a financial journalist and investment advisor, writing columns on finance for the Daily Mail. He presented the BBC business show Working Lunch, the Channel 4 money show Dosh, and eventually started his own TV channel devoted to business, The Money Channel. Unfortunately for him, the Money Channel went down in the stock market crashes of the early 2000s, and Faith went bankrupt in 2002. He died in 2003, aged sixty-two. But you’ll notice we haven’t yet mentioned the song that this episode is about. That’s because that song, “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”, was completely unimportant in Adam Faith’s life. It was just a bit of album filler on his second album. But though Faith didn’t know it, it was an important song in rock music history: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”] Like Faith’s hits, that was written by another performer, one who like Les Vandyke had a variety of different names. John Askew was one of Larry Parnes’ stable of acts, and far from the most successful of them. He performed under the name Johnny Gentle, and didn’t have a great deal of success. Askew’s first single, “Wendy”, was unsuccessful, but it was unusual among British singles of the period in that it was written by Askew himself: [Excerpt: Johnny Gentle, “Wendy”] His second, though, made the top thirty: [Excerpt: Johnny Gentle, “Milk From the Coconut”] That would be the most success Johnny Gentle ever had, and his live shows were made up entirely of cover versions of other people’s records — when he toured Scotland in 1960, for example, his setlist consisted of two Buddy Holly songs, and one each by Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Clarence “Frogman” Henry, Eddie Cochran, and Jim Reeves. But he was still writing songs on that tour, and he was working on one in a hotel in Inverness – one that clearly referenced “What Do You Want?” with its girl who doesn’t want ermine and pearls – when he got stuck for a middle eight for the song, and mentioned it to the rhythm guitarist in his backing band. The guitarist came up with a new middle eight — referencing a line from a favourite song of his, “Money” by Barrett Strong. Askew took that new middle eight, though didn’t give the guitarist any songwriting credit — Askew was an established songwriter, after all. He gave the song to Faith, who recorded it in late 1961, and released it in 1962: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “I’ve Just Fallen for Someone”] That was on his second album, Adam Faith (his first album had been called Adam), and on an EP taken from the album. But Askew thought it had more potential, and he recorded his own version, as Darren Young — by this point he’d decided that his old stage name was bringing him bad luck: [Excerpt: Darren Young, “I’ve Just Fallen for Someone”] That version wasn’t successful either, and the song remained completely obscure until the mid-1990s. It was at that point that Askew started telling the story of how the song had been written. And suddenly the song was of a lot more interest, at least to some people, because that rhythm guitarist who wrote that middle eight was John Lennon, and Gentle’s backing band on that tour was the Beatles. We’ve just heard the story of the first ever commercial recording of a John Lennon song. And we’ll pick up on that next week…

Over the weekend something happened that put me in a total spin. Well, for about fifteen minutes…You see, I’d planned a weekend away. A weekend without children, without agenda. Just for me.As a solo-parent I don’t get a lot of that. Though let’s face it, even parenting with someone, these moments of solitude are often few and far between for many.But I had a plan. My parents were taking the kids for two nights and I was giddy with excitement.In fact, I don’t think I even realised how giddy I was until Mum called the day before with the news that she and Dad were really unwell and they wouldn’t be able to look after the kids. The poor things were heartbroken not to be able to help and of course see their beloved grandkids.Tears started silently falling down my face as I felt my precious weekend escape slip away. And then I spiralled into all the stories that are so easy to spiral into……. I never get any time for me.…. No one understands how much I needed this.…. The school holidays feel unbearable without a break.…. POOR ME!…. 2020 WHAT THE ACTUAL F*&K ARE YOU!?I gave myself the chance to feel all the feels. And then I did what has become common practice for me and for those that learn from me inside Ready for Change.I decided to take responsibility for the plans changing and seek solutions. Just because my PARENTS were unwell didn’t mean that there weren’t other options.You’ll learn all about the big mindset shift you can make when the chips are down. And how it can move you from victim of your circumstances to powerful creator of the life you want.Links:Ready for Change WaitlistBack to You programFind me on Facebook and Instagram

We start the show by looking at some of the case studies of the TV Show and how much weight the patients started with and how much they lost. There is another show called “Where are they now” that keeps up with their progress and we find it incredibly interesting. Then we talk about the untold truths about the TV Show, the shady pasts, enablers etc. The show sometimes performs surgery on untreatable patients. Dr. Nowzaradan specializes in the super morbidly obese patients.Marcella says it is sad to watch and that you only get one body in this life and to destroy it like that has to be devastating. Food is like a drug to lots of people and lots of people emotionally eat. We wonder how some of these people go to the bathroom and we find out they get bedsores. Some patients expect a quick fix and don’t want to do anything for it. Some of these patients have been featured on fat fetish sites like BBB. Big Beautiful Women where they pose in lingerie. There are people that shop on these sites for fat girls to marry. Supersized Bombshell is another such site. They complain about suffering from social stigmatization.We think that they are very weak minded and need mental help. Gino talks about how he was raised and how he was trained as a tennis player that he was held responsible for his actions.He says that he has never gone through life thinking he was owed something. Marcella agrees and says it is a POOR ME mentality. Then we discuss the very important “3 DAY RULE”. We talk about how nothing lasts forever – even the bad times. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: Are your potential lovers ever intimidated by you and your knowledge? Question of the day: Would you ever be in an open marriage?

  Welcome to episode twelve of A History of Rock Music in Five Hundred Songs. Today we’re looking at “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” by Lloyd Price. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode.   —-more—-   Resources As always, I’ve created a Mixcloud streaming playlist with full versions of all the songs in the episode. Lloyd Price has written a few books. His autobiography is out of print and goes for silly money (and don’t buy the “Kindle edition” at that link, because it’s just the sheet music to the song, which Amazon have mislabelled) but he’s also written a book of essays with his thoughts on race, some of which shed light on his work. The information on Dave Bartholomew and Fats Domino here largely comes from Blue Monday by Rick Coleman. The Lloyd Price songs here can be found on The Complete Singles As & Bs 1952-62 while the Fats Domino tracks are on They Call Me the Fat Man Erratum I used the wrong version of “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” when editing this podcast. The version used here is a soundalike remake from 1958, rather than the 1952 original. Apologies for the error.   Patreon This podcast is brought to you by the generosity of my backers on Patreon. Why not join them? Transcript   This is a rather special episode in some ways. The topic of this episode is “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” by Lloyd Price, and I’ll be frank — I was not originally going to give “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” its own episode. Not because it’s not a great record — it is — but because I was going to deal with it in passing when I cover one of the other records made by its vocalist, Lloyd Price. But that was before I noticed an odd coincidence of timing. I needed to prerecord this episode, because it’s Christmas and I’m visiting my in-laws, and so I was looking at what records came next in the history on my timeline, and I noticed two things: The first was that “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” was the next important record to be released in the timeline I’d put together. And the second was that Dave Bartholomew, that record’s producer, was born one hundred years ago exactly, on December 24th, 1918. I simply couldn’t pass up an opportunity to do an episode celebrating the hundredth birthday of one of the great pioneers of rock and roll music, and one who is happily still alive. We talked about Bartholomew a bit a couple of weeks ago, in the episode about “The Fat Man” by Fats Domino, but he needs to be discussed in more detail, as he was one of the most important musicians of the fifties. As we heard, he brought the “Spanish tinge” to rhythm and blues records and collaborated with Fats Domino on all of Domino’s big hits — and we’ll be hearing more about him in that context in a few weeks — but he did a lot more. Not only did he produce classic records by Frankie Ford and T-Bone Walker, not only did he write “One Night”, which became a big hit for Smiley Lewis and a bigger one for Elvis, but he also wrote Chuck Berry’s only number one hit: [excerpt “My Ding-A-Ling” by Chuck Berry] OK, that may not be Berry’s finest moment as a performer, but it shows just how wide Bartholomew’s influence was. Despite that, rather astonishingly, there’s never been a biography written of Bartholomew, and even “Honkers and Shouters”, the classic book on the history of rhythm and blues which contains almost the only in-depth interviews with many of the musicians and record producers who made this music, only devotes a handful of paragraphs to Bartholomew’s work. I’ve barely been able to even find any in-depth interviews with Bartholomew, and so my knowledge of him is built up from lots of offhand mentions and casual connections in books on other people. But he worked with so *many* other people that that still amounts to quite a lot. So let’s talk about “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”, and let’s do it by picking up the story of Dave Bartholomew and Fats Domino after “The Fat Man”. “The Fat Man” was a massive hit, but it caused some strain between its producer and its performer. Domino had gone on tour to support the record, as part of a larger package with Bartholomew’s band as the headliners. Domino would only perform a few songs at a time, and most of the show was Bartholomew’s band. Domino resented Bartholomew for getting most of the money, while Bartholomew resented Domino for his popularity — Domino was starting to overshadow the nominal star of the show. But more than that, Domino just didn’t seem to be getting on well with the rest of the band. This wasn’t because he was unfriendly — although Domino was always someone who seemed a little socially awkward — just that Domino was a homebody who absolutely resented ever having to go away from home, and especially as he had a newborn baby son he wanted to be home for. Indeed, when the tour had started, Domino had missed the first few days by the simple expedient of hiding for several days, and it was only when a union official had come knocking at his door explaining what happened to people who broke their contracts that he relented and went on the tour. And even then, he packed a suitcase full of foods like pickled pig’s feet, in case he couldn’t get his favourite foods anywhere else. Domino was a sheltered, nervous, shy, person — someone who had been so unworldly that when his first record came out he didn’t have a record player to play it on and had to listen to it on jukeboxes — and this exasperated Bartholomew, who was a far more well-travelled and socially aware person. But the two of them still continued to collaborate, and to make records together, including some great ones like this version of the traditional New Orleans song “Eh La Bas!”, which Bartholomew rewrote with the great boogie pianist Professor Longhair and titled “Hey! La Bas Boogie” [excerpt “Hey! La Bas Boogie” by Fats Domino] The collaborations caused other problems, too — both Bartholomew and Domino thought, with good reason, of themselves as the true talent in their collaborations. Domino believed that his piano playing and singing were the important things on the records, and that since he was bringing in most of the ideas fully-formed Bartholomew wasn’t doing much to make the records successful. Bartholomew, on the other hand, thought that the song ideas Domino was bringing in were basically nursery rhymes, while his own songs were more sophisticated — Domino had little formal musical knowledge and usually used only a couple of chords, while Bartholomew was far more musically knowledgeable; and Domino wasn’t a native English speaker, and tended to use very simple lyrics while when Bartholomew brought in ideas he would come up with strong narratives and punning lyrics. Bartholomew thought that when the songs Domino brought in became successful, it was because of Bartholomew’s patching up of them and his arrangements. Bartholomew resented that Domino was becoming a big star, and Domino resented that Bartholomew patronised him in the studio, treating him as an employee, not an equal partner. Of course, both were right — Bartholomew was by far the better songwriter, but Domino had great instincts for a hook. Bartholomew was a great arranger, and Domino was a great performer. As so often in musical collaborations, the sum was much greater than its parts, and it was the tension between the two of them that drove the collaboration. But while Bartholomew had problems with Fats, his real problems were with Al Young, a white New Orleans record store owner who was an associate of Lew Chudd, Imperial Records’ owner. He didn’t like Young’s habit of trying to make it look like it was him, rather than Bartholomew, who was producing the records, and he especially didn’t like when Young cut himself in on the songwriting royalties for songs Bartholomew wrote. This problem came to a head when Bartholomew got back home from a particularly stressful tour with Domino over Thanksgiving. It had been far too cold for the Louisiana musicians in the Midwest, and they’d been ripped off by the tour promoters — they’d received only something like two hundred dollars between them, rather than the two thousand they’d been promised. Domino actually had to call home and ask his family to wire him his bus fare back from Missouri to New Orleans. And when Bartholomew got back, he popped into Al Young’s record shop — and Young showed him the fifteen hundred dollar Christmas bonus cheque he’d just received from Imperial Records for all his hard work that year. Bartholomew had received no bonus, despite having done far more for the company than Young had, and he assumed that the reason was because Bartholomew was black and Young was white. He decided right then to quit Imperial, and to become a freelancer working for whoever had work. Domino continued making records in the same style, and even continued to have hits with songs that followed the formula he’d established with Bartholomew, some of them even bigger than the ones they’d made together, like “Goin’ Home”. But Al Young was the producer on that record, and while Domino did his usual great performance and it had that tresillo rhythm, Young knew nothing about music, and so the arrangement was haphazard and the sax solo was off-key at points: [excerpt: solo from “Goin’ Home”, Fats Domino] But it was still a big hit, and Al Young got his name stuck on the credits as a co-writer, which is what mattered to him at least, even if everyone was unhappy with the recordings. That song went to number one on the R&B charts, and made its way into the top thirty on the pop charts, and you can hear its influence all over the place, for example in this other classic track: [excerpt “Shake a Hand”, Faye Adams] It also influenced a young piano player and arranger named Ray Charles, and we’ll talk more about him later. But the fact remains, it’s not as good as the stuff Domino was doing with Bartholomew. It has the power and the catchiness, but it doesn’t have the depth and the sophistication. Lew Chudd, around this time, tried to get Art Young to get Dave Bartholomew back working with Domino again, but Bartholomew just slammed the phone down on Young. He didn’t need Imperial Records, he didn’t need Fats Domino, and he *certainly* didn’t need Art Young. He was working with other people now. In particular, he was working with Specialty Records. Specialty Records was an LA-based record label, like most of the labels that worked with New Orleans musicians were — for whatever reason, even though LA and New Orleans are thousands of miles away from each other, it was the Los Angeles companies rather than anywhere closer that seemed to pick up on the sound coming from New Orleans. Specialty was run by Art Rupe. Art Rupe is, amazingly, still alive and even older than Dave Bartholomew — he turned 101 a few months back — and he’s one of the most important figures in the development of rhythm and blues in the 1950s. Indeed, he was the producer of yet another record occasionally labelled “the first rock and roll record”, “R.M.’s Blues” by Roy Milton, which was one of the early records to combine a boogie piano and a backbeat. [excerpt: “R.M.’s Blues” by Roy Milton] And in his case, it’s no coincidence that he ended up working with New Orleans musicians — he was impressed by Fats Domino’s Imperial Records releases, Imperial being another Los Angeles based label, and so he came to New Orleans to see if there were other people like Domino about. Rupe put out an ad for people to come to Cosimo Mattassa’s studio to audition, but it wasn’t until he was packing up to leave and fly back to Los Angeles without any success, that a singer called Lloyd Price walked into the studio and sang his song “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”. Rupe cancelled his flight — this was someone worth recording. Price was, at the time, a jingle creator for a local radio station, providing music for the DJs to use while they were advertising various products. At the time, radio advertising in the US was much like podcast advertising is now, and in the same way that a podcast host might interrupt what they’re doing and try to tell you about the benefits of a new mattress, so, then, might DJs — and in the same way that some podcast hosts will vary their set texts, so would the DJs, and one of the DJs for whom Lloyd Price created jingles had a catchphrase — “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”. Price had come up with a melody to go along with those words — or, rather, he’d adapted a pre-existing melody to it — and the result had been popular enough that he had decided to turn it into a full song. And Price had sat in with Dave Bartholomew and his band in Kenner, his hometown, singing a few songs with them. Bartholomew had told him “I’m not working with Lew Chudd any more, I’m just hanging around Cosimo Matassa’s studio catching the odd bit of arrangement work there — why don’t you come down and see if we can get you recorded?” But Price was so unfamiliar with New Orleans that he didn’t even know how to get to Rampart Street, which is why he’d arrived so late. Luckily for everyone concerned, he managed to find the most famous street in New Orleans eventually. When they started recording the song, Bartholomew started to get annoyed with the guitarist on the session, Ernest McLean . “I wanted to get some sort of a rhythm going and he de dum de dum, de dum de dum [Laurel and Hardy rhythm]. I say, man, that’s, that’s, that ain’t nothing. What the hell you get that thing from?” That’s from one of the few interviews I’ve seen with Bartholomew — other sources say it was his piano player, Salvador Doucette, who was the problem. Whichever musician it was was apparently a jazz musician who had no real love or feel for rhythm and blues, and Bartholomew was getting exasperated, but at the same time he had no option but to go with what he had. But then fate intervened. Fats Domino happened to be passing the studio, and he decided to just call in and say hello, since it was the studio he recorded in regularly — and he found Dave Bartholomew there. Domino and Bartholomew hadn’t worked together in over a year at this point — March 1952 — and things were tense at first, but Bartholomew decided he’d be the one to ease the tension, and asked Domino to sit in. At first Domino refused, saying “Man, you know I can’t sit in! I’m under contract!”, but he sat around in the session, having a few drinks and watching the band work. Eventually, he said “Well, I’m gonna have me some fun, I’m gonna sit in anyway!” The resulting record was the one that knocked “Goin’ Home” off the top of the R&B charts, and it would become one of the defining records of the rock and roll era. “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” is, in many ways, an attempt to recapture the success of “The Fat Man”. It has many of the same musicians, the same arranger, and the same basic melody that the earlier record did. But being recorded three years later on meant it was also recorded after three years more advancement in the rock and roll style, and “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” is notably more rhythmically complex than the earlier record — and that’s largely down to Dave Bartholemew’s arrangement. Let’s have a look at the individual elements of the track — starting with Fats Domino’s piano playing. Domino is mostly playing triplets, which is the way that he played most of the time: [excerpt: piano part from “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”] You’ve got the drums, by the great Earl Palmer, where he’s making the transition between his early shuffle style and his later backbeat emphasis — you can hear he’s trying to do two things at once on the drums, he’s trying to swing it *and* produce a backbeat, so you’ve essentially got him doing polyrhythms. You’ve got the bass, a different rhythm again, and then you’ve got those horns, just doing long, sustained, “blaaaat” parts. And then over that you’ve got Lloyd Price, singing in a Roy Brown imitation, but with a teenager’s style — Price had just turned nineteen — it’s a song about unrequited love or lust, a teenager’s song of yearning. And then to top it off there’s the sax solo by Herb Hardesty — the prototype for the solos he would provide for all Domino’s hits from this point on. It’s an amazing combination; this is the record that crystallised the New Orleans sound and became the template all the others would follow. “The Fat Man” had been the prototype, with some rough edges still there. This was a slicker, more assured, version of the same thing. Art Rupe was certainly pleased, but they were lucky to have been working with Rupe himself — soon after this recording, Rupe decided to expand his operations in New Orleans, and put Johnny Vincent in charge. While Rupe has a reputation as a decent businessman by 1950s record company standards, Johnny Vincent does *not*. When Vincent later owned his own record company, Ace, he was so bad at paying the musicians that Huey “Piano” Smith and Mac Rebbennack had to go and hold Vincent at gunpoint while they searched his office — and his person — for the money he owed them. And then, a few months later, they had to do the same thing again, because being held up at gunpoint just the once wasn’t enough for him to think better of ripping them off. Vincent was also not a particularly skilled record producer, at least according to Rebennack. I can’t repeat his comments about Vincent’s approach in full, because if I use some of the words he used iTunes will restrict this podcast to adults only, but the gist is that Vincent was a con-man who knew nothing about record production. It’s probably not a massive coincidence that Dave Bartholomew stopped working for Specialty very shortly after the recording of “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”. I’ve not seen a precise enough timeline to know for sure that it was Johnny Vincent’s arrival at the label that persuaded Bartholomew he didn’t want to work for them any more, but it seems likely to me. What I *do* know, though is that Lew Chudd heard “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”, compared it to the records Art Young was producing for Fats Domino, and realised that he could be doing a hell of a lot better than he was. He eventually, through an intermediary, managed to persuade Bartholomew to talk to him again, and Bartholomew was hired back to work at Imperial. The same month, April 1952, that “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” came out, Domino and Bartholomew were back in Matassa’s studio, working together again, and recording a collaboration which sounds like a true combination of both men’s styles: [excerpt: “Poor Me” — Fats Domino] UPTO PART 7 Domino and Bartholomew would work together regularly in the studio until at least 1967, and live off and on for decades after that. And we’ll hear more of their collaborations later. But Lloyd Price wasn’t hampered by the fact that his producer had gone off to another label either. His follow-up single, cut at the same session as “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” with the same musicians, was a double-sided hit, both sides making the top ten on the R&B charts. And the same happened with the single after that, cut with different musicians — a song called “Ain’t it a Shame”, which may just have given Domino and Bartholomew an idea. After that he hit a bit of a dry spell in his career, and by 1956 he was reduced to recording a sequel to “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” — “Forgive me Clawdy”: [excerpt “Forgive Me Clawdy”: Lloyd Price] But then “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” itself got a second wind, and was covered in 1956 by both Elvis and Little Richard. This seems to have jump-started Price’s career, and we’ll pick up his story with his later big hits. “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” had a long life — it’s been recorded over the years by everyone from Paul McCartney to the Replacements — and happily most of the major figures involved in the record did too, which makes a very pleasant change from the bit of the episode where I usually tell you that the singer died in poverty and obscurity of alcoholism. Lloyd Price is still going strong, still performing aged 85, and he released his most recent album in 2016. Art Rupe is still alive aged 101, and while I’m sad to say Fats Domino is now dead, he died only last year, aged 89, an extremely wealthy man who had received every award his peers could bestow and had been given medals by multiple Presidents. And, as I said at the start, this episode will go up at one minute past midnight on the twenty-fourth of December 2018, which means it’s Dave Bartholomew’s hundredth birthday, It’s unlikely he’ll ever hear it but I’d like to wish him a happy birthday anyway, and many more of them. So to finish off… here’s a record Bartholomew played on seven years ago, when he was ninety-three: [Excerpt: Alia Fleury “Christmas in the Quarters”] And for those of you who celebrate it, a merry Christmas to all of you at home.
