Raitt ist Tochter des Broadway-Stars John Raitt. Obwohl viele Jahre in der Musikszene aktiv, blieb ihr der kommerzielle Erfolg lange versagt. Sie arbeitete in den 1970ern mit Warren Zevon, Steve Ripley und Little Feat zusammen. 1983 verlor sie, mit Drogen- und Alkoholproblemen kämpfend, ihren Plattenvertrag.
1987 gelang ihr ein Comeback, als sie zusammen mit K. D. Lang und Jennifer Warnes den Background-Chor bei Roy Orbisons Fernsehshow stellte, eine Show, die eine große Aufmerksamkeit und gute Kritiken erhielt. Ihr zehntes Album, das 1989 veröffentlichte Nick of Time erreichte nicht nur den ersten Platz der US-Charts und sicherte ihr drei Grammys, sondern verkaufte sich allein in den USA fünf Millionen Mal. Das Nachfolgealbum Luck of the Draw war mit acht Millionen verkauften CDs in den USA noch erfolgreicher. Auf ihrem Live-Album Road Tested sind unter anderem Duette mit Bryan Adams und Jackson Browne zu hören. 2004 wurde sie von Ray Charles eingeladen, mit ihm auf seinem Album Genius Loves Company das Duett zu Do I Ever Cross Your Mind? zu singen.
Im Jahr 2000 wurde Bonnie Raitt in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen.[1] 2010 wurde ihr Lebenswerk durch die Aufnahme in die Blues Hall of Fame der Blues Foundation gewürdigt.
Bonnie Lynn Raitt (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues singer, songwriter and slide guitar player. During the 1970s, Raitt released a series of roots-influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues, rock, folk and country. In 1989 after several years of critical acclaim but little commercial success she had a major return to form with the release of her album Nick of Time. The following two albums Luck of the Draw (1991) and Longing in Their Hearts (1994) were also multi-million sellers generating several hit singles, including "Something to Talk About", "Love Sneakin' Up On You", and the ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me" (with Bruce Hornsby on piano). Raitt has received 10 Grammy Awards. She is listed as number 50 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time[1] and number 89 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.[2]
Early life
Raitt was born in Burbank, California. She is the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt and his first wife, pianist Marjorie Haydock. She began playing guitar at an early age. Later she gained notice for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. Raitt says she played "a little at school and at [a summer] camp" called Camp Regis-Applejack in New York State. Bonnie always had a guitar in her hands while at Camp Regis, which is located near Lake Placid in Upstate New York.
After graduating from Oakwood Friends School in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1967 Raitt entered Radcliffe College majoring in social relations and African Studies.[3] Raitt said her "plan was to travel to Tanzania, where President Julius Nyerere was creating a government based on democracy and socialism".[4] Raitt became friends with the then 65-year-old blues promoter, Dick Waterman.[4] During her second year Raitt took a semester off and moved to Philadelphia with Waterman and a number of local musicians. Raitt says it was an "opportunity that changed everything."[4]
Career
1970–76
In the fall of 1970, while opening for Mississippi Fred McDowell at the Gaslight Cafe in New York, she was seen by a reporter from Newsweek Magazine, who began to spread word of her performance. Scouts from major record companies were soon attending her shows to watch her play. She eventually accepted an offer with Warner Bros. who soon released her debut album, Bonnie Raitt, in 1971. The album was warmly received by the music press, many of whom praised her skills as an interpreter and as a bottleneck guitarist; at the time, very few women in popular music had strong reputations as guitarists.
While admired by those who saw her perform, and respected by her peers, Raitt gained little public acclaim for her work. Her critical stature continued to grow but record sales remained modest. Her second album, Give It Up, was released in 1972 to universal[citation needed] acclaim; though many critics[who?] still regard it as her best work, it did not change her commercial fortunes. 1973's Takin' My Time was also met with critical acclaim, but these notices were not matched by the sales.
Raitt was beginning to receive greater press coverage, including a 1975 cover story for Rolling Stone Magazine, but with 1974's Streetlights, reviews for her work were becoming increasingly mixed. By now, Raitt was already experimenting with different producers and different styles, and she began to adopt a more mainstream sound that continued through 1975's Home Plate.
In 1976, Raitt made an appearance on Warren Zevon's eponymous album with his friend Jackson Browne and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
1977–88
1977's Sweet Forgiveness album gave Raitt her first commercial breakthrough when it yielded a hit single in her cover of "Runaway." Recast as a heavy rhythm and blues recording based on a rhythmic groove inspired by Al Green, Raitt's version of "Runaway" was disparaged by many critics. However, the song's commercial success prompted a bidding war for Raitt between Warner Bros. and Columbia Records. "There was this big Columbia – Warner war going on at the time", recalled Raitt in a 1990 interview. "James Taylor had just left Warner Bros. and made a big album for Columbia...And then, Warner signed Paul Simon away from Columbia, and they didn't want me to have a hit record for Columbia – no matter what! So, I renegotiated my contract, and they basically matched Columbia's offer. Frankly the deal was a really big deal."[citation needed]
Warner Brothers held higher expectations for Raitt's next album, The Glow, in 1979, but it was released to poor reviews as well as modest sales. Raitt would have one commercial success in 1979 when she helped organize the five Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The shows spawned the three-record, gold album, No Nukes, as well as a Warner Brothers feature film, No Nukes. The shows featured co-founders Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, John Hall, and Raitt as well as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Doobie Brothers, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Gil Scott-Heron, and numerous others.
For her next record, 1982's Green Light, Raitt made a conscious attempt to revisit the sound of her earlier records. However, to her surprise, many of her peers and the media compared her new sound to the burgeoning new wave movement. The album received her strongest reviews in years, but her sales did not improve and this would have a severe impact on her relationship with Warner Brothers.
Drop from Warner Brothers
In 1983, as Raitt was finishing work on her follow-up album, entitled Tongue & Groove, Warner Brothers "cleaned house", dropping a number of major artists such as Van Morrison and Arlo Guthrie from their roster. The day after mastering was completed on Tongue & Groove, the record label dropped Raitt also. The album was shelved indefinitely, and Raitt was left without a record label. By then, Raitt was also struggling with alcohol and drug abuse problems.[5]
Despite her personal and professional problems, Raitt continued to tour and participate in political activism. In 1985, she sang and appeared in the video of "Sun City", the anti-apartheid record written and produced by guitarist Steven Van Zandt. Along with her participation in Farm Aid and Amnesty International concerts, Raitt traveled to Moscow in 1987 to participate in the first joint Soviet/American Peace Concert, later shown on the Showtime television network. Also in 1987, Raitt organized a benefit in Los Angeles for Countdown '87 to Stop Contra Aid. The benefit featured herself along with musicians Don Henley, Herbie Hancock, Holly Near and others.
Tongue and Groove's name change and release
Two years after dropping her from their label, Warner Brothers notified Raitt of their plans to release Tongue & Groove. "I said it wasn't really fair," recalled Raitt. "I think at this point they felt kind of bad. I mean, I was out there touring on my savings to keep my name up, and my ability to draw was less and less. So they agreed to let me go in and recut half of it, and that's when it came out as Nine Lives." A critical and commercial disappointment, 1986's Nine Lives would be Raitt's last new recording for Warner Brothers.
In late 1987, Raitt joined singers k.d. lang and Jennifer Warnes as female background vocalists for Roy Orbison's television special, Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night. Following this highly acclaimed broadcast, Raitt began working on new material. By then, she was clean and sober, having resolved her substance abuse problem. She later credited Stevie Ray Vaughan for his help in a Minnesota State Fair concert[6] the night after Vaughan's 1990 death. During this time, Raitt considered signing with the Prince-owned Paisley Park label, but negotiations ultimately fell through. Instead she began recording a bluesy mix of pop and rock under the production guidance of Don Was at Capitol Records.
Raitt had met Was through Hal Wilner, who was putting together Stay Awake, a tribute album to Disney music for A&M. Was and Wilner both wanted Raitt to sing lead on an adult-contemporary arrangement created by Was for "Baby Mine", the lullaby from Dumbo. Raitt was very pleased with the sessions, and she asked Was to produce her next album.
1989–99: Commercial Breakthrough
After working with Was on the “Stay Awake” album, Raitt’s management, Gold Mountain, approached numerous labels about a new record deal, and she was signed to Capitol by a&r executive Tim Devine. At Capitol, after nearly 20 years, Raitt achieved belated commercial success with her tenth album, Nick of Time. Released in the spring of 1989, Nick of Time went to the top of the U.S. charts following Raitt's Grammy sweep in early 1990. This album has been voted number 230 in the Rolling Stone magazine list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Raitt herself pointed out that her 10th try was "my first sober album."[7][8]
At the same time, Raitt received a fourth Grammy Award for her duet "In the Mood" with John Lee Hooker on his album The Healer. Nick of Time was also the first of many of her recordings to feature her longtime rhythm section of Ricky Fataar and James "Hutch" Hutchinson (Although previously Fataar had played on her Green Light album and Hutchinson had worked on Nine Lives). Nick of Time has sold over six million copies in the US alone.
Raitt followed up this success with three more Grammy Awards for her 1991 album, Luck of the Draw which sold nearly 8 million copies in the United States. Three years later, in 1994, she added two more Grammys with her album Longing in Their Hearts, her second no. 1 album. Both of these albums were multi-platinum successes. Raitt's collaboration with Was would amicably come to an end with 1995's live release,
"Rock Steady" was a hit written by Bryan Adams and Gretchen Peters in 1995. The song was written as a duet with Bryan Adams and Bonnie Raitt for her Road Tested tour, which also became one of her albums. The original demo version of the song appears on Adams' 1996 single "Let's Make a Night to Remember". Road Tested. Released to solid reviews, it sold well enough to be certified gold.
For her next studio album, Raitt hired Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake as her producers. "I loved working with Don Was but I wanted to give myself and my fans a stretch and do something different," Raitt said. Her work with Froom and Blake was released on Fundamental in 1998.
2000–2007
In March 2000, Raitt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
Silver Lining was released in 2002. In the US, it reached 13 on the Billboard chart and was later certified Gold. It contains the 3 singles "I Can't Help You Now", "Time of Our Lives" and the title track. All 3 singles charted within the top 40 of the US A/C chart.
In 2003 Capitol Records released the compilation album The Best of Bonnie Raitt. It contains songs from her prior Capitol albums from 1989 – 2002 including Nick of Time, Luck of the Draw, Longing in Their Hearts, Road Tested, Fundamental, and Silver Lining.
Souls Alike followed and was released in September 2005. In the US, it reached the top 20 on the Billboard chart. It contains the singles "I Will Not Be Broken" and "I Don't Want Anything to Change", which both charted in the top 40 of the US A/C chart.
In 2006 she released the live DVD/CD Bonnie Raitt and Friends, which was filmed as part of the critically acclaimed VH1 Classic Decades Rock Live Concert Series, featuring special guests Keb Mo', Alison Krauss, Ben Harper, Jon Cleary and Norah Jones. The DVD was released by Capitol Records on August 15. Bonnie Raitt and Friends, which was recorded live at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, NJ on September 30, 2005, features never-before-seen performance and interview footage, including four duets not included in the VH1 Classic broadcast of the concert. With two hours of concert and interview footage, the concert which was filmed in Hi-Definition and is presented in 5.1 audio, features Raitt performing 17 songs with her longtime band – George Marinelli (guitar), James "Hutch" Hutchinson (bass), Ricky Fataar (drums) and Jon Cleary (keyboards). Included are such classic Raitt hits as "Something To Talk About," "Love Letter" (with Mo'), "You" (with Krauss) and a knock-out encore of "Love Sneakin' Up on You" with Raitt, Jones, Harper, Krauss and Mo' as well as highlights from her latest studio album, Souls Alike, including "I Will Not Be Broken," "God Was in the Water", "I Don't Want Anything To Change" (with Jones) and "Unnecessarily Mercenary" (a duet with keyboardist Cleary, who wrote the song). The accompanying CD features 11 tracks, including the radio single "Two Lights in the Nighttime" (featuring Ben Harper). The Bonnie Raitt and Friends TV Special and DVD/CD was produced by Barry Summers of World Productions and Rock Fuel Media.
Australian Country Music Artist Graeme Connors has said, "Bonnie Raitt does something with a lyric no one else can do; she bends it and twists it right into your heart." (ABC Radio NSW Australia interview with Interviewer Chris Coleman on January 18, 2007)[9]
In 2007, Raitt contributed to Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino. With Jon Cleary, she sang a medley of "I'm in Love Again" and "All by Myself" of Fats Domino.
2008–present
Raitt appeared on the June 7, 2008, broadcast of Garrison Keillor's radio program A Prairie Home Companion. She performed two blues songs with Kevin "Keb' Mo'" Moore: "No Getting Over You" and "There Ain't Nothin' in Ramblin'". Raitt also sang "Dimming of the Day" with Richard Thompson. This show, along with another one with Raitt and her band in October 2006, is archived on the Prairie Home Companion website.
In April 2011, the Bonnie Raitt and Friends DVD officially became RIAA certified gold.
In February 2012, Raitt performed a duet with Alicia Keys at the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012 honoring Etta James.
In April 2012, Raitt released her first studio album since 2005, entitled Slipstream. It charted at Number 6 on the US Billboard 200 chart marking her first top ten album since 1994's Longing in Their Hearts. The album was described as "one of the best of her 40-year career" by American Songwriter magazine.[10]
In September 2012, Raitt was featured in a campaign called "30 Songs / 30 Days" to support Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, a multi-platform media project inspired by a project outlined in a book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.[11] In 2013, she appeared on Foy Vance's album Joy of Nothing.[12]
Raitt is listed at Number 50 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.[13] She is also listed at number 89 in the Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.[14]
Drug and alcohol use, and recovery
Raitt used alcohol and drugs, but began psychotherapy and joined Alcoholics Anonymous in the late 1980s. She has said "I thought I had to live that partying lifestyle in order to be authentic, but in fact if you keep it up too long, all you're going to be is sloppy or dead."[15] She became clean in 1987. She has credited Stevie Ray Vaughan for breaking her substance abuse, saying that what gave her the courage to admit her alcohol problem and stop drinking was seeing that Stevie Ray Vaughan was an even better musician when sober.[16] She has also said that she stopped because she realised that the 'late night life' was not working for her.[17] In 1989 she said "I really feel like some angels have been carrying me around. I just have more focus and more discipline, and consequently more self-respect."[18]
Personal life
Raitt has taken sabbaticals, including after the deaths of her parents, brother and best friend. She has said "When I went through a lot of loss, I took a hiatus."[15]
Raitt and actor Michael O'Keefe were married on April 27, 1991, when he was 36 and she 41. They announced their divorce on November 9, 1999,[19] with a causal factor appearing to be that their careers caused considerable time apart.[20]
Political activism
Raitt's political involvement goes back to the early seventies. Her 1972 album Give It Up had a dedication "to the people of North Vietnam ..." printed on the back.
Raitt's web site urges fans to learn more about preserving the environment. She was a founding member of Musicians United for Safe Energy in 1979 and a catalyst for the larger anti-nuclear movement, becoming involved with groups like the Abalone Alliance and Alliance for Survival.
In 1994 at the urging of writer Dick Waterman, Raitt funded the replacement of a headstone for one of her mentors, blues guitarist Fred McDowell through the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund. Raitt later financed memorial headstones in Mississippi for musicians Memphis Minnie, Sam Chatmon, and Tommy Johnson again with the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund.
At the Stockholm Jazz Festival in July 2004, Raitt dedicated a classic to sitting (and later re-elected) U.S. President George W. Bush. She was quoted as saying, "We're gonna sing this for George Bush because he's out of here, people!" before she launched into the opening licks of "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)", a cover that was featured on her 1979 album The Glow. In 2002, Raitt signed on as an official supporter of Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit organization that provides free musical instruments and free lessons to children in public schools throughout the U.S.A. She has visited children in the program and sits on the organization's board of directors as an honorary member.
In 2008, Raitt donated a song to the Aid Still Required's CD to assist with relief efforts in Southeast Asia from the 2004 Tsunami.
Raitt worked with Reverb, a non-profit environmental organization, for her 2005 Fall/Winter and 2006 Spring/Summer/Fall tours.[21]
Raitt is part of the No Nukes group which is against the expansion of nuclear power. In 2007, No Nukes recorded a music video of a new version of the Buffalo Springfield song "For What It's Worth".[22][23][24]
During the 2008 Democratic primary campaign Raitt, along with Jackson Browne and bassist James "Hutch" Hutchinson, performed at campaign appearances for candidate John Edwards.

Ivory Joe Hunter +08.11.1974
Ivory Joe Hunter (* 10. Oktober 1914 in Kirbyville, Texas; † 8. November 1974 in Memphis, Tennessee) war ein US-amerikanischer R-&-B-Sänger, Pianist und Songschreiber, nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Motown-Produzenten und Songschreiber Ivy Joe Hunter.
Hunter war bekannt als „the Baron of the Boogie“ („der Baron des Boogie“), aber auch als „the Happiest Man Alive“ („der glücklichste lebende Mensch“). Sein bekanntester Hit war 1956 Since I Met You, Baby. Es wird geschätzt, dass er über 7000 Songs geschrieben hat.
Ivory Joe, so sein Taufname, wurde in eine musikalische Familie hineingeboren. Sein Vater spielte Gitarre, seine Mutter war Gospel-Sängerin. Bereits jung zeigte sich Hunters Talent am Klavier. Alan Lomax nahm ihn 1933 für die Library of Congress auf.
Anfang der 1940er hatte Hunter eine eigene Radiosendung in Beaumont (Texas). 1942 zog er nach Los Angeles, wo er mit Johnny Moore's Three Blazers musizierte. Mit ihnen nahm er seinen ersten Hit auf, Blues at Sunrise, den er auf seinem eigenen Label Ivory Records herausbrachte.
Später in den 1940ern gründete Hunter das Label Pacific Records. Zahlreiche Aufnahmen dieser Phase wurden von Four Star Records in Hollywood lizenziert und erneut auf diesem Label veröffentlicht. 1949 hatte er seine ersten USA-weiten R-&-B-Hits I Quit My Pretty Mama und Guess Who. 1950 eroberte I Almost Lost My Mind auf MGM Records veröffentlicht die Spitzenposition der R-&-B-Charts. Weitere Hits folgten, und 1951 trat er zum ersten Mal im Fernsehen auf. 1954 hatte er bereits mehr als einhundert Titel aufgenommen. 1956 erschien sein größter Hit, Since I Met You, Baby bei Atlantic Records, der Platz zwölf der Pop-Charts erreichte.
Ende der 1950er-Jahre begann der Erfolg nachzulassen. In den 1970ern hatte Hunter ein Comeback als Country-Sänger. Er trat unter anderem auf dem Monterey Jazz Festival auf.
Ivory Joe Hunter starb 1974 an Lungenkrebs.
Etliche Stücke Hunters wurden von anderen Künstlern neu eingespielt. Pat Boone hatte 1956 mit I Almost Lost My Mind einen Nummer-Eins-Hit. Sonny James kam 1970 mit Since I Met You, Baby auf Platz 1 der Country-Charts und leitete damit Hunters Comeback ein. Elvis Presley hatte zwei Top-20-Hits mit Hunter-Songs: My Wish Came True und Ain't That Loving You, Baby.
Ivory Joe Hunter (October 10, 1914 – November 8, 1974)[1] was an American rhythm and blues singer, songwriter, and pianist. After a series of hits on the US R&B chart starting in the mid-1940s, he became more widely known for his hit recording, "Since I Met You Baby" (1956). He was billed as The Baron of the Boogie, and also known as The Happiest Man Alive. His musical output ranged from R&B to blues, boogie-woogie, and country, and Hunter made a name in all of those genres. Uniquely, he was honored at the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Grand Ole Opry.[2]
Early years
Hunter was born in Kirbyville, Texas, United States. Ivory Joe Hunter was his birthname, not a nickname nor a stage name.[1] As a youngster, Hunter developed an early interest in music from his father, Dave Hunter, who played guitar, and his gospel-singing mother. He was a talented pianist by the age of 13, and as a teenager, Hunter made his first recording for Alan Lomax and the Library of Congress in 1933.[3] Hunter was also the uncle of Tower of Power's original lead vocalist, Rick Stevens.[4]
Radio and recordings
In the early 1940s, Hunter had his own radio show in Beaumont, Texas, on KFDM, where he eventually became program manager, and in 1942 he moved to Los Angeles, joining Johnny Moore's Three Blazers in the mid-1940s.[1] When he wrote and recorded his first song, "Blues At Sunrise", with the Three Blazers for his own label, Ivory Records, it became a nationwide hit on the R&B chart in 1945.[3][5]
In the late 1940s, Hunter founded Pacific Records,[1] and in 1947, he recorded for Four Star Records and King Records. Two years later, he recorded further R&B hits; on "I Quit My Pretty Mama" and "Guess Who" he was backed by members of Duke Ellington's band.[3][6]
After signing with MGM Records, he recorded "I Almost Lost My Mind",[1] which topped the 1950 R&B charts and would later (in the wake of Hunter's success with "Since I Met You Baby") be recorded by Pat Boone whose version became a number one pop hit.[3] "I Need You So" was a number two R&B hit that same year. With his smooth delivery, Hunter became a hot R&B commodity, and he also began to be noticed in the country music community. In April 1951, he made his network TV debut on You Asked For It. He toured widely with a backing band and became known for his large build (he was 6' 4" tall), his brightly colored stage suits, and his volatile temperament.[7]
By 1954, he had recorded more than 100 songs and moved to Atlantic Records. His first song to cross over to the pop charts was "Since I Met You Baby" (1956). It was to be his only Top 40 pop song, climbing to the number 12 position.[8]
While visiting Memphis, Tennessee, in the spring of 1957, Hunter was invited by Elvis Presley to visit Graceland. The two spent the day together, singing "I Almost Lost My Mind" and other songs together. Hunter commented, "He is very spiritually minded... he showed me every courtesy, and I think he's one of the greatest."[9] Presley recorded several of his songs, including "I Need You So", "My Wish Came True" and "Ain't That Lovin' You, Baby".[3] Hunter was a prolific songwriter, and some estimate he wrote more than 7,000 songs.
Country comeback
Hunter's "Empty Arms" and "Yes I Want You" also made the pop charts, and he had a minor hit with "City Lights" in 1959, just before his popularity began to decline. Hunter came back as a country singer in the late 1960s, making regular Grand Ole Opry appearances and recording an album titled I've Always Been Country.[10]

Country singer Sonny James issued a version of "Since I Met You Baby" and it topped the country charts in 1969, paving the way for Hunter's album The Return of Ivory Joe Hunter and his appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival. The Return of Ivory Joe Hunter was recorded in Memphis with a band that included Isaac Hayes, Gene "Bowlegs" Miller and Charles Chalmers.[3] Jerry Lee Lewis covered "Since I Met You Baby" in 1969.
Death
In 1974, lung cancer led to Hunter's death in Memphis, Tennessee, at the age of 60.[1] He was buried in his native Kirbyville.
Kokomo Arnold +08.11.1968
Kokomo Arnold (eigentlich James Arnold; * 15. Februar 1901 in Lovejoys Station, Georgia; † 8. November 1968 in Chicago, Illinois), war ein US-amerikanischer Blues-Musiker.
Die Grundlagen des Gitarrenspiels hatte er noch in Georgia von seinem Cousin John Wiggs erlernt. Nach seinem Umzug nach Norden begann er in den 1920ern neben seinen Jobs, z. B. als Farmarbeiter in Buffalo oder als Stahlarbeiter in Pittsburgh, als Unterhaltungsmusiker zu spielen. 1929 ging er nach Chicago, wo er seinen Lebensunterhalt hauptsächlich als ‚Bootlegger‘ (illegales Vertreiben von Alkoholika während der Prohibition) verdiente.
Am 17. Mai 1930 entstanden in Memphis unter dem Namen Gitfiddle Jim seine ersten Aufnahmen, Rainy Night Blues und Paddlin' Madeline Blues für RCA-Victor; sein Debüt verkaufte sich jedoch nur schwach. Danach zog er wieder nach Chicago. Nach einer 4 Jahre dauernden Aufnahmepause nahm er zwischen 1934 und 1938 insgesamt 88 Titel für Decca Records auf und war zusammen mit Peetie Wheatstraw und Amos Easton einer der führenden Musiker des Chicago Blues. Hier erhielt er 1934 auch seinen Kosenamen, nachdem er den Song Old Original Kokomo Blues (ursprünglich von Scrapper Blackwell) aufgenommen hatte. Der nach einer Kaffeemarke benannte Titel entstand mit 3 weiteren Titeln am 10. September 1934. Hierunter befand sich auch der inzwischen zum Klassiker gewordene Milkcow Blues, der als A-Seite von Arnolds erster Decca-Single #7026 ausgewählt wurde.
Arnold beeinflusste insbesondere Robert Johnson, der Old Original Kokomo Blues in Sweet Home Chicago umarbeitete, während aus dem Milkcow Blues der Milkcow Blues Boogie wurde, den Elvis Presley am 10. Dezember 1954 aufnahm[1]. Vom berühmtesten Song seines Repertoires, dem Milkcow Blues, spielte Arnold noch 4 weitere nummerierte Versionen ein[2]. Am 18. April 1935 entstand Busy Bootin' / Southern Railroad Blues (Decca #7139), dessen A-Seite später als Vorlage für Little Richards Keep A-Knockin' im September 1957 diente und zu dessen sechstem Millionseller wurde.
Bereits im Jahre 1938 zog sich Kokomo Arnold nach Streitigkeiten mit dem Decca-Produzenten Mayo Williams aus dem Musikgeschäft zurück. Seine letzte Aufnahmesession fand am 12. Mai 1938 statt, wo als letzte Single Going Down In Gallilee / Something's Hot (Decca #7485) entstand. Erst 1962 wurde er wiederentdeckt, konnte sich aber für das Blues-Revival vor weißem Publikum nicht begeistern. Er starb 1968 in Chicago an einem Herzinfarkt und wurde in Alsip, Illinois, beigesetzt.
Arnold war ein (linkshändiger) Meister auf der Slide-Gitarre. Eines der hervorstechendsten Merkmale seines Spiels ist sein für einen Slidegitarristen ungewöhnlich hohes Tempo. Auf einigen Stücken scheint sein - gelegentlich im Falsett ausgeführter - Gesang der Gitarre mit ihrem Stil, der von hohem Wiedererkennungswert geprägt ist, kaum folgen zu können.
Coverversionen
Sein berühmtester Song Milkcow Blues wurde 47 mal gecovert. Erste Versionen erschienen bereits am 13. Februar 1935 von Pinewood Tom und am 27. Februar 1935 von Bumble Bee Slim. Die Version, die wohl Elvis Presley inspiriert hatte, stammte von Johnny Lee Wills & His Boys (aufgenommen am 28. April 1941), wonach dessen Bruder Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys (20. Mai 1946) folgte. Neben Elvis Presley stammt eine weitere Rock & Roll-Fassung dieses Blues von Eddie Cochran (5. Januar 1962). Die Version der Kinks vom 10. August 1965 basiert nicht auf Arnolds Song, sondern auf einer völlig anderen Komposition, dem "Milk Cow Blues" von Sleepy John Estes, der am 13. Mai 1930 entstanden war.
Kokomo Arnold (February 15, 1901 – November 8, 1968) was an American blues musician.
Born as James Arnold in Lovejoy's Station, Georgia, he got his nickname in 1934 after releasing "Old Original Kokomo Blues" for the Decca label; it was a cover of the Scrapper Blackwell blues song about the city of Kokomo, Indiana.[1] A left-handed slide guitarist, he had an intense slide style of playing and rapid-fire vocal style that set him apart from his contemporaries.
Career
Having learned the basics of the guitar from his cousin, John Wiggs,[2] Arnold began playing in the early 1920s as a sideline while he worked as a farmhand in Buffalo, New York, and as a steelworker in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1929 he moved to Chicago and set up a bootlegging business, an activity he continued throughout Prohibition. In 1930 Arnold moved south briefly, and made his first recordings, "Rainy Night Blues" and "Paddlin' Madeline Blues", under the name Gitfiddle Jim for the Victor label in Memphis.[3] He soon moved back to Chicago, although he was forced to make a living as a musician after Prohibition ended in 1933. Kansas Joe McCoy heard him and introduced him to Mayo Williams who was producing records for Decca.[2]
From his first recording for Decca on September 10, 1934,[4] until his last on May 12, 1938, Arnold made 88 sides, seven of which remain lost. Arnold, Peetie Wheatstraw and Bumble Bee Slim were dominant figures in Chicago blues circles of that time. Peetie Wheatstraw & Arnold in particular were also major influences upon musical contemporary seminal delta blues artist Robert Johnson and thus modern music as a whole. Johnson turned "Old Original Kokomo Blues" into "Sweet Home Chicago", "Milk Cow Blues" into "Milkcow's Calf Blues", while another Arnold song, "Sagefield Woman Blues", introduced the terminology "dust my broom", which Johnson used as a song title himself.
Other notable songs include his 1934 recording of the "Sissy Man Blues"[5] with its openly bisexual lyrics, including the line, "Lord, if you can't send me no woman, please send me some sissy man."[6] This piece went on to also be recorded by other blues musicians of the era including Josh White (Pinewood Tom), George Noble and Connie McLean's Rhythm Kings.
In 1938 Arnold left the music industry and began to work in a Chicago factory.[3] Rediscovered by blues researchers in 1962, he showed no enthusiasm for returning to music to take advantage of the new explosion of interest in the blues among young white audiences.[3]
He died of a heart attack in Chicago, aged 67, in 1968, and was buried in the Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois.
James Booker (* 17. Dezember 1939 in New Orleans; † 8. November 1983 ebenda), mit bürgerlichem Namen James Carroll Booker III, war ein US-amerikanischer Blues-, Boogie- und Jazz-Pianist, Organist und Sänger.
James Carroll Booker III wuchs als Sohn des Baptistenpredigers und Hobby-Pianisten James Carroll Booker II und der Gospelsängerin Ora Cheatham erst in New Orleans, später bei Verwandten in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, auf.
Im Alter von sechs Jahren Booker erhielt von seiner Mutter ein Saxophon geschenkt, da er sich aber mehr für das Klavierspielen interessierte, erhielt er in der Folge Klavierunterricht. Später nannte er als wesentliche musikalische Einflüsse die Blues-Pianisten Tuts Washington und Professor Longhair. Erste öffentliche Auftritte hatte der Organist in der Kirche seines Vaters.
Im Alter von neun Jahren erlitt Booker schwere Verletzungen, als er von einem Krankenwagen angefahren wurde. Auf die darauf folgende Schmerztherapie mit Morphinen führte er selbst später seine lebenslangen Drogenprobleme zurück. Nach dem Tod des Vaters zog die Familie 1953 wieder nach New Orleans, wo Booker die Xavier Preparatory School besuchte. Er begann ein Musikstudium an der Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana welches er jedoch nach zwei Jahren erfolglos abbrach.
Schon während seiner Schulzeit vermittelte ihn seine Mutter zum lokalen Radiosender WMRY. So arbeitete er schon früh als professioneller Musiker, und trat mit seiner Band „Booker Boy and the Rhythmaires“, regelmäßig in einer Samstagnachmittag-Show mit Blues- und Gospelprogramm auf. Diesem Ensemble gehörte zeitweilig auch sein Schulkollege Art Neville an.
Karriere
Unter dem Namen "Little Booker" gehörte er ab 1954 als Nachfolger von Fats Domino, der eine Solokarriere anstrebte, der Band von Dave Bartholomew an, später war Booker als Studio-Musiker im J&M Recording Studio in New Orleans beschäftigt, wo er sich mit Dr. John anfreundete.
Der von seinen Musikerkollegen sehr geschätzte Pianist wurde von diesen immer wieder als Studiomusiker engagiert. Er ist unter anderem auf Veröffentlichungen von Wilson Pickett, Joe Tex, Roy Hamilton, B.B. King, Earl King, King Curtis, Aretha Franklin, Lloyd Price, Maria Muldaur, Ringo Starr, Jerry Garcia, den Doobie Brothers, Huey Smith, Phil Upchurch und Lionel Hampton zu hören.
Bookers Solokarriere stagnierte dagegen. Dem psychisch labilen und chronisch unzuverlässigen Musiker gelang zwar 1960 mit dem Orgel-Solo "Gonzo" ein Überraschungserfolg (Platz 3 in den R&B-Billboard-Charts),[1] jedoch führten exzessiver Konsum von Drogen und Alkohol immer wieder zu Karriereeinbrüchen. Im Jahr 1970 wurde er wegen Drogenbesitzes zu einer zweijährigen Haftstrafe verurteilt, von der ein halbes Jahr im berüchtigten Angola State Prison in Louisiana absitzen musste. Drei Jahre später zog er sich durch die Verwendung einer verschmutzten Injektionsnadel eine schwere Infektionserkrankung zu, die zum Verlust des linken Auges führte. Die schwarze Augenklappe mit aufgenähtem goldenem Stern wurde zu seinem Markenzeichen.
Bookers solistisches Werk ist zu einem nicht geringen Teil durch Live-Aufnahmen dokumentiert. Ab Mitte der 1970er Jahre trat er wiederholt beim Jazz&Heritage Festival in New Orleans auf, Konzerttourneen führten ihn mehrfach nach Europa (u.a. Auftritte beim Montreux Jazz Festival). In seinen Konzerten spielte der Pianist ein weitgestreutes Programm, das von Blues- und Jazzklassikern über Popsongs bis zu – fallweise – klassischer Musik (v.a. Chopin) reichte. Die musikalische Qualität dieser Auftritte soll sehr uneinheitlich gewesen sein: Nicht selten war Booker unfähig, überhaupt zu spielen; gelegentlich gelangen ihm aber immer wieder brillante Konzerte.
Ein letzter Versuch sich von seinen Drogenproblemen zu befreien scheiterte kurz vor seinem Tod: Eine Anstellung als Bürogehilfe im Rathaus von New Orleans verlor er wegen permanenter Dienstunfähigkeit. Im November 1983 verstarb James Booker, noch keine 44 Jahre alt, an den Folgen einer Überdosis Kokain.
