Podcasts about street rhythm band

Join us for our conversation with Charles Wright. Mr. Express Yourself himself. Charles Williams Wright (born April 6, 1940) is an American singer, instrumentalist and songwriter. He has been a member of various doo wop groups in the late 1950s and early 1960s as well as a solo artist in his own right. He is also the former leader and writer of hits for the group, Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Wright was born on April 6, 1940, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, United States. The seventh of twelve children, he was raised on a cotton plantation. Years later, he would refer the sharecropping era as "The next shade after slavery". According to the book Up from Where We've Come, the sharecropper that owned that plantation was a cruel man by the name of Edward Miles. When Wright was 12, the family moved to Los Angeles. Contrary to his father's rule of not allowing his children to listen to secular music, he began listening to popular music and became mesmerized by it. Jesse Belvin was a singer that he heard on the radio was to have a significant influence on the young Wright and who became his mentor. After hearing Belvin on the radio, he looked up his number in the phone book and contacted him. He was told by Belvin to stop copying his sound and find his own. Later, Belvin took Wright under his wing and helped him get started. This association lasted until 1960, but stopped because Belvin died in a car crash at the age of 27. The following year, Wright had his first hit record. Wright is best known for his role as band leader of the group Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, which had the classic 1971 hit "Express Yourself". He has been associated with Johnny Guitar Watson, touring with him and playing on early recordings by him. He also added his vocals to an album by The Watsonian Institute. For a very brief period, Wright managed singer Bill Withers Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Music has the incredible power to transcend time and space, with certain beats and rhythms etching themselves into the very fabric of musical history. One such beat that has stood the test of time is the iconic drum groove in 'Kissing My Love' by Bill Withers, brought to life by the legendary drummer James Gadson. This groove not only shaped the landscape of music during its era but also left a lasting impact that resonates even in modern hip-hop. Let's delve into the fascinating journey of James Gadson's drumming on 'Kissing My Love' and explore how this beat became a defining moment in the history of music.The Origin and the Magic of 'Kissing My Love' Drum BeatAt the heart of 'Kissing My Love' lies a drum groove that captivates listeners with its infectious rhythm and soulful vibe. James Gadson, the mastermind behind this groove, infused it with a unique touch that set it apart from conventional drumming styles of the time. The groove's flexibility, swung rhythm, and subtle imperfections gave it a human feel, a warmth that modern metronome-driven productions often lack.As the backbone of the song, Gadson's drumming in 'Kissing My Love' laid the foundation for a track that would go on to influence generations of musicians and producers. The groove's syncopated patterns and dynamic range showcased Gadson's exceptional skill and creativity, making it a standout element in the realm of iconic drum beats.James Gadson: A Journey from Jazz to Iconic GroovesJames Gadson's musical journey is a tapestry woven with diverse influences and experiences, starting from his roots in jazz and branching out into R&B and funk.

Gadson's innovative approach to music and his willingness to step outside the boundaries of conventionality set him apart as a true visionary in the world of drumming.From his early days honing his craft in jazz clubs to his collaborations with renowned artists, Gadson's evolution as a drummer was marked by a constant drive to push boundaries and explore new musical horizons. It was this spirit of experimentation and innovation that ultimately led him to create the unforgettable drum groove in 'Kissing My Love'.The Collaboration Behind the Groove: Gadson with Charles Wright's Band and Bill WithersThe story behind the creation of the 'Kissing My Love' groove is as much about collaboration as it is about individual talent. Gadson's time with Charles Wright's Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band and Dyke and the Blazers played a pivotal role in shaping his musical sensibilities and expanding his repertoire of rhythms and styles.However, it was his collaboration with Bill Withers on the 'Still Bill' album that would truly showcase the magic that Gadson brought to the table. The synergy between Gadson's drumming and Withers' soulful vocals resulted in a timeless piece of music that continues to inspire artists across genres. The organic flow of the groove and the chemistry between the musicians elevated 'Kissing My Love' to a level of musical brilliance that remains unmatched.Impact and Legacy: How Gadson's Drumming Influenced Modern Music ProductionThe impact of Gadson's drumming on 'Kissing My Love' extends far beyond its initial release, permeating the realms of modern music production and hip-hop. The groove's innovative use of space, dynamics, and feel set a new standard for drummers and producers alike, showcasing the power of simplicity and groove in creating memorable music.Countless artists have sampled and drawn inspiration from Gadson's drumming, with the 'Kissing My Love' groove becoming a staple in hip-hop production.

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I'm your host Ray Shasho. Charles Wright was born in Clarksdale Mississippi, where he grew up and was musically inclined by playing the guitar and singing in several doo-wop groups, including, The Twilighters, The Shield, and The Gallahads. Wright briefly worked as A&R Director for Del-Fi Records and was responsible for the hit recording of "Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me of You)" by Little Caesar and the Romans in 1961. By 1964, Wright formed his own band called Charles Wright & the Wright Sounds, which included John Raynford, and Daryl Dragon, the "Captain" of Captain & Tennille. Wright added more members to the group, and they became known as the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, and they played in several venues across Los Angeles. In the 1970s the band was best known for their world-renowned hit, "Express Yourself.” It was written by Wright and distributed by Warner Bros. TM, where it would hit #3 and #12 on the R&B and Pop charts, respectively. Another hit record under Wright's reign was Do Your Thing, which set the stage for a 1970s pornographic study of Boogie Nights. To date, Wright's songs have been covered by legendary artists around the globe. During the rise of Hip-Hop in the 1980s, many rap artists sampled chunks of funk from Wright's wax, including N.W.A. and their smash track, "Express Yourself" Brand Nubian Funk, Naughty By Nature, Gang Starr, and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs also gleaned inspiration from Wright's work. PLEASE WELCOME LEGENDARY SOUL/R&B/FUNK/ SINGER/SONGWRITER AND MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST CHARLES WRIGHT TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS …   WATCH FOR THE BRAND-NEW ALBUM BY CHARLES WRIGHT COMING SOON! AND PURCHASE THE RECENT RELEASE BY CHARLES WRIGHT ‘TAKING IT BACK' AT  Amazon.com   Also Up: From Where We've Come An Eventful Journey A BOOK By Charles Wright author "UP" contains historical moments, where the reader will experience inserts of the author's life long before he gained his status as a musical legend. And like his music, Wrights' story is a historical account of events that could only be told in his own personal and unique style. Wright's book is about a young boy and his family's trials and tribulations on a cotton plantation owned by a cruel sharecropper named Edward Miles, who was born with an unfair advantage, which he uses to dominate his subjects. At the critical age of eight, the boy's father demanded he pick no less than a hundred pounds a day, which according to the author, he has yet to be able to deliver. But any time he failed, he faced yet another one of his father's vicious whippings. His father was involved with the cruel hearted landowner, who owned four hundred acres of fertile land, which he and his family were obligated to work 40 acres of. This, of course, called for an oversized family, which at that time was a sharecropper's dream. The beatings continued practically on a daily basis and continued even after the family relocated to California due to the fact that his father had developed a habit of taking his personal frustrations out on the boy. During the late forties and early fifties, his parents decided to opt out of the cotton business for good, but soon realized Mr. Miles was not so willing to let go. They plotted a scheme and leaving the plantation, they moved into Clarksdale, but only to realize how relentless the old sharecropper actually was. So in an effort to subdue the family, Mr. Miles used his influence among other white southerners to deny the boy's father employment. Their saga continued due to one incident after another until finally, the child's mother sought help from her oldest daughter, who'd already moved out of state. The rest is history. His story takes too many twists and turns to explain in a brief synopsis, yet in the end it has a surprisingly pleasant way of resolving itself.   FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CHARLES WRIGHT VISIT https://expressyourself.net/ Official website www.facebook.com/charleswrightmusic FACEBOOK www.youtube.com/user/charleswrightz1 YouTube https://open.spotify.com/artist/6fN2KrVTKQmaJPNWfIiIuh?si=6yf8nhONRXC296guwV128w&nd=1 Spotify   Discography CHARLES WRIGHT Singles Act   Title Release   Year Charlie Wright "Help Yourself" / "Number One" (1966) Charles Wright         "(I'm Living On) Borrowed Time" / "Keep Saying (You Don't Love Nobody)" (1966) Charles Wright         "Soul Train" / "Run Jody Run" (1972) Charles Wright         "You Gotta Know Whatcha Doin'" / "Here Comes the Sun" (1972) Charles Wright         "(Well I'm) Doin' What Cums Naturally" Part 1 / "(Well I'm) Doin' What Cums Naturally" Part 2 (1973) Charles Wright         "You Threw It All Away" / "The Weight Of Hate"          (1973) Charles Wright         "Is It Real?" / "Don't Rush Tomorrow" (1975) Charles Wright         "You Gotta Know Whatcha Doin" / "Here Comes The Sun" Happiness (2014) Just Fine (2020)   CHARLES WRIGHT Albums Act   Title   Year Charles Wright         Rhythm And Poetry (1972) Charles Wright         Doing What Comes Naturally (1973) Charles Wright         Ninety Day Cycle People (1974) Charles Wright         A Lil' Encouragement (1975) Charles Wright of The Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band Going To The Party          (1997) Charles Wright         Music For The Times We Live In (2002) Charles Wright of The Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band High Maintenance Woman (2003) Charles Wright of The Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band with The Gallahads          My Love Affair With Doo-Wop (2004) Charles Wright         Finally Got It...

**This is the new and improved interview with James Gadson that happened 2 years ago now in November of 2020.**  ‘Gadson on Gadson'. Today was a milestone for me. I've been such a huge fan of this man for years and I hope I hide my nervousness well enough in this conversation. This week's guest is James Gadson…one of the funkiest drummers out there. He gave life to the 16th note groove and used it on countless records with Bill Withers, The Jackson Five, Beck, Cheryl Lynn, Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band and many more. For a time, it was rare to go a whole day without hearing James' drumming on the radio, and probably still true to this day on some stations. We discuss the top records on which he played that best represent his career in the studio. I had a blast talking with James and he is a gentleman through and through. And if you're a drummer, his DVD ‘Funk / R&B Drumming' is a must watch. Honestly…must OWN. It will get you paid. I guarantee it.

The Age of Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (Also known as The Flesh Failures) Music by Galt MacDermot; lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado From Peter Lawford to Georgio Moroder, just about every singer had taken this anthem of flower power and tried to make it their own. From the Tony-nominated Broadway musical "Hair", you couldn't swing a love bead without bumping into a version of this song when it came out. It summed up the era succinctly, simply, and inoffensively. If you're of a certain age, it will send chills down your spine as you recall a very brief time where The Man was on his heels for once. It made #1 for The 5th Dimension and has been covered over 70 times, which isn't much compared to Yesterday or Summertime, but you have to understand that all those versions were grouped into two years, basically.    Bert Tenzer (with Kings Road) (1969) VERY bad voice-overs of actors pretending to belong to that generation. Old voice-over pros either paying tribute or making fun. We shall never know.  Andy Williams/The Osmonds (1969) Andy Williams was old showbiz but I love the fact that he tried everything. Including Claudine Longet. I really love Andy Williams. He was daring and cool.  Diana Ross and the Supremes (1969) Englebert Humperdinck (1969) Donna Gaines, AKA Donna Summer/Original German Cast of “Hair” - Wassermann (Aquarius) (1968) Johnny Mathis (1969) You hear him most during the holiday season. Then he goes away! Melba Moore (1970) My second-favorite version. God damn, she sings it. One of the few versions here that tried to reinvent and recontextualize.  Peter Lawford (1969) Yes, the designated driver in the Rat Pack.  Raphael (Live) (1980) Ray Conniff And The Singers (1969) The Ventures (Instrumental) (1969) Tony Martin (1969) My favorite version. Discogs: Tony Martin (Alvin Morris) had enjoyed a long and illustrious career as a star of stage, screen, and shellac (his first national hits for Decca came before the Second World War!), scoring international Top Ten singles in the Forties and Fifties along the lines of his rendition of Stranger in Paradise, overshadowed in the wake of Tony Bennett's competing version. But by the time Tony pitched up at Motown, he had had no hits for eight years, and his film career had long since hit the skids. Ethel y Los Drakers - Siempre Brilla El Sol (Spanish) (1971) Jennifer (Warnes) (1969) Yes, the same gal that sang "Right Time of the Night" and "I Had the Time of My Life" with Bill Medley. If you look close, she's singing backing vocals during the Roy Orbison "Black and White" concert.  Galt MacDermot (1968) Julien Clerc (French) (1969) Light My Fire  The Doors  Again, a ubiquitous cover song which appeared in every singer's set-list at that time. Provocative enough for the young, melodic and simple enough for the more seasoned entertainer. One more thing: The Doors were an amazing band when it came to producing singles. Their albums are sometimes embarrassingly naive and treacly, sort of like The Moody Blues or Three Dog Night. But those singles, whew boy, they were good.  Stevie Wonder (1969) This is a great version. Listen to the king of soul bassists, James Jamerson, eviscerate all that came before him.  The Free Design (1971) This album is in my hall of fame for GREAT albums I could listen to over and over and find new things. Albums I discovered since I started this old show. Everything, from the production to the harmonies to the amazing upside-down covers. I am trying to get my hands on Chris Dedrick's solo record "Be Free". Soon. Maybe my birthday? Come on, now. Anyhow, this I put up there with Syreeta's records with Stevie, The United States of America, The Seeds of Love, all of them. The peak of the concept, along with There Is A Song (1972). And no one bought them!! If you like Sunshine Pop, this is the stuff. Better than The Mamas and the Papas. To my ears, by far. Listen to how low the Dedrick sisters are asked to sing. I love women in the lower register. I am a huge fan of all the Dedricks.  And that's Billy Cobham on drums!  Bob Thiele and his New Happy Times Orchestra with Gabor Szabo (1967) Clarence Carter (w/Duane Allman) (1967) Rhetta Hughes (1968) Shirley Bassey (1970) Also extremely very good. She is perhaps best known for having done the vocals on the theme tunes to three films in the popular British espionage film franchise James Bond. Woody Herman Orchestra (1969) Another cool version, this one by the Woody Herman Orchestra. Herman had been recording since the Big Band era. Fans of Frank Zappa will recognize the name Sal Marquez, who played trumpet solo #1.  Amii Stewart (1979) Chet Atkins (1968) Even though he made his bones as a session player/producer, Chet was surprisingly open to doing modern songs by pop artists, to his credit. Like my friend Andy Williams.  Minnie Ripperton/Jose Feliciano (1979) Os Baobas (AKA The Bubbles) (1968) The Soul Merchants (1968) The Lettermen (1968) This album made it to #43 on Billboard.  The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band (1969) Al Green (1971)

Charles Wright had a desire to form a solid soul band that would take the drive of R&B and push it to the limits. With an amazing cast of musicians, Charles formed the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, which recorded a string of hit songs including the classic “Express Yourself.” Charles took pride in writing the song and the classic bass riff, played by his longtime friend Melvin Dunlap. Over his long and incredible career, Charles covered early Doo Wop era all the way into the funk and soul sound of the 1970s. What has always remained with him is his passion for the music!

‘Gadson on Gadson'. Today was a milestone for me. I've been such a huge fan of this man for years and I hope I hide my nervousness well enough in this conversation. This week's guest is James Gadson…one of the funkiest drummers out there. He gave life to the 16th note groove and used it on countless records with Bill Withers, The Jackson Five, Beck, Cheryl Lynn, Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band and many more. For a time, it was rare to go a whole day without hearing James' drumming on the radio, and probably still true to this day on some stations. We discuss the top records on which he played that best represent his career in the studio. I had a blast talking with James and he is a gentleman through and through. If you're a drummer, his DVD ‘Funk / R&B Drumming' is a must watch. Honestly…must OWN. It will get you paid. I guarantee it. You can find links to all the songs discussed on the show in The Podcast section for this episode at www.bigfatsnaredrum.com. Follow us on Instagram / Facebook/ Twitter. This episode is also sponsored by Waves Audio. This podcast would take me soooo much longer to edit if it wasn't for the Waves Vocal Rider plugin. It "rides" the fader in real-time and keeps both my and my guest's audio at a consistent level without the need to overcompress.

Label: WB 7417Year: 1970Condition: M-Last Price: $30.00. Not currently available for sale.Seems like it's impossible these days to find a copy of this terrific single. "Express Yourself" is simply one of the premier examples of early Funk. The singer and the amazing Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band were true pioneers of the sound... as George Clinton would later call such guys, "True Funkateers!" Note: This copy comes in a vintage olive-green Warner Bros. Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint overall, but I noted faint writing (not visible in a scan) on the A side. The vinyl (styrene) looks only lightly touched, grading Near Mint, and the powerful audio sounds pristine!

Charles Wright was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where he grew up and was musically inclined by playing the guitar and singing in several doo-wop groups, including, The Twilighters, The Shield, and The Gallahads. Wright briefly worked as A&R Director for Del-Fi Records and was responsible for the hit recording of “Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me of You)” by Little Caesar and the Romans in 1961. By 1964, Wright formed his own band called Charles Wright & the Wright Sounds, which included John Raynford, and Daryl Dragon, the “Captain” of Captain & Tennille. Wright added more members to the group and they became known as the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, and they played in several venues across Los Angeles. In the 1970s the band was best known for their world renowned hit, “Express Yourself.” It was written by Wright and distributed by Warner Bros.™, where it would hit #3 and #12 on the R&B and Pop charts, respectively. Another hit record under Wright’s reign was Do Your Thing, which set the stage for a 1970s ographic study of Boogie Nights. To date, Wright’s songs have been covered by legendary artists around the globe, including Ray Charles, Les McCann, Della Reese, Roger Troutman & Zapp, The Ohio Players, and the Swiss Lon Genes Symphony Orchestra. During the rise of Hip-Hop in the 1980s, many rap artists sampled chunks of funk from Wright’s wax, including N.W.A. and their smash track, “Express Yourself.” Brand Nubian Funk, Naughty By Nature, Gang Starr, and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs also gleaned inspiration from Wright’s work.

Reprends moi, carte blanche à George.Tous les artistes qui chantent se sont frottés à cet exercice difficile qu'est la reprise, au point parfois de vous en faire oublier l'originale... Les Beatles, les Rolling Stones, pour ne citer qu'eux ont démarré en marchant dans les pas de leurs aînés. Les artistes français n'ont jamais été en reste, au point de puiser allègrement dans le répertoire anglo-saxon jusque dans les années 90. Tous se sont ainsi forgés une culture, une expérience pour mieux créer leurs œuvres par la suite. Et les chansons ne demandent que ça... vivre dans les bouches des uns, renaître dans celles des autres et enfin atteindre l'éternité.La playlistDean Martin - King of the road (1965) / v.o Roger Miller (1964)Lana del Rey - Don't let me misunderstood (2015) / v.o Nina Simone (1964)Brian Ferry - Sympathy for the devil (1973) / v.o The Rolling Stones (1968)Brigitte - Allumer le feu (2012) / v.o Johnny Hallyday (1998)The Jackson 5 - My chérie amour (1969) / v.o Stevie Wonder (1969)Labrinth - Express yourself (2012) / v.o Charles Wright et the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band (1970)Bande à part - Le coup de soleil (2012) / v.o Richard Cocciante (1979)Ike et Tina Turner - Honky Tonk Women (1970) / v.o The Rolling Stones (1969)Nouvelle vague avec Adrienne Pauly - Marcia Baïla (2010) / v.o Les Rita Mitsouko (1984)Cocoon - American boy (2011) / v.o Estelle et Kanye West (2008)Magnet - Lay Lady Lay (2003) / v.o Bob Dylan (1969)The Communards - Never can say good bye / v.o The Jackson 5 (1971)Générique par Yamasuki - Yama Yama (1971)
