Papa Charlie Jackson *10.11.1887

Papa Charlie Jackson (* um 1885 in New Orleans; † 1938 in Chicago) war ein früher US-amerikanischer Blues-Musiker. Er spielte eine Banjo-Gitarre und die Ukulele. Seine ersten Aufnahmen entstanden 1924. Die Einzelheiten seines Lebens liegen größtenteils im Dunkeln, doch ist er wahrscheinlich um 1885 in New Orleans geboren und 1938 in Chicago gestorben.
Jackson trat in den frühen 1920ern in Medizinshows rund um Chicago auf. Seine Aufnahmen Papa's Lawdy Lawdy Blues und Airy Man Blues (Paramount August 1924) waren die ersten Aufzeichnungen eines männlichen Blues-Interpreten. Sein erfolgreichstes Stück dürfte Salty Dog Blues (Paramount Mitte 1926) sein. Er machte auch Aufnahmen mit Ida Cox, Hattie McDaniel und Ma Rainey.
In den späten 1920ern erreichte seine Popularität ihren Höhepunkt. Mit Blind Blake nahm er Papa Charlie and Blind Blake Talk About It (ein Stück in zwei Teilen) auf. Später wechselte Jackson von Paramount Records zu Okeh und machte mit Big Bill Broonzy Aufnahmen, welche aber nie veröffentlicht wurden.

Papa Charlie Jackson (November 10, 1887 – May 7, 1938)[1] was an early American bluesman and songster who accompanied himself with a banjo guitar, a guitar, or a ukulele. His recording career began in 1924.[2] Much of his life remains a mystery, but his draft card lists his birthplace as New Orleans, Louisiana, and his death certificate states that he died in Chicago, Illinois on May 7, 1938.[3]
Career
Born William Henry Jackson,[4] he originally performed in minstrel and medicine shows.[5] From the early 1920s into the 1930s, Jackson played frequent club dates in Chicago, and was noted for busking at Chicago's Maxwell Street Market.[2] In August 1924, he recorded the commercially-successful "Airy Man Blues" and "Papa's Lawdy Lawdy Blues" for Paramount Records. One of his following tracks, "Salty Dog Blues", became his most famous song. Among his recordings are several in which he accompanied classic female blues singers such as Ida Cox, Hattie McDaniel, and Ma Rainey.[2]
Blues writer Bruce Eder says that Jackson achieved "a musical peak of sorts in September of 1929 when he got to record with his longtime idol, Blind (Arthur) Blake, often known as the king of ragtime guitar during this period. 'Papa Charlie and Blind Blake Talk About It' parts one and two are among the most unusual sides of the late '20s, containing elements of blues jam session, hokum recording, and ragtime".[3] A few more recordings for the Paramount label followed in 1929 and 1930.[5] In 1934 he recorded for Okeh Records, and the following year he recorded with Big Bill Broonzy.[5] Altogether, Jackson recorded 66 sides during his career.
Legacy
Jackson was an influential figure in blues music, the first self-accompanied blues musician to make records.[3] He was one of the first musicians of the "Hokum" genre,[6] which uses comic, often sexually suggestive lyrics and lively, danceable rhythms.[7] He wrote or was the first to record several songs that became blues standards, including "Spoonful" and "Salty Dog".[8] Nonetheless, he has received little attention from blues historians.[6]
Jackson's "Shake That Thing" was covered by Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions in 1964. "Loan Me Your Heart" appeared on The Wildparty Sheiks eponymous album in 2002. The Carolina Chocolate Drops recorded "Your Baby Ain't Sweet Like Mine" on their Grammy Award winning 2010 album, Genuine Negro Jig, and often played the song in interviews after its release.
In 1973 Jackson's song "Shake That Thing" was briefly featured in the Sanford and Son episode, "The Blind Mellow Jelly Collection". Fred, played by Redd Foxx, could be seen dancing and singing to it at the beginning of the episode.

Mack Rice *10.11.1933
Bonny "Mack" Rice (November 10, 1933 – June 27, 2016),[1] sometimes credited as Sir Mack Rice, was an American songwriter and singer.[2] His best-known composition and biggest hit as a solo performer was "Mustang Sally." He also wrote "Respect Yourself" with Luther Ingram.
Life and career
Rice was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi.[1] He began his work in the R&B field in the 1950s based in Detroit, performing with the Five Scalders in 1956 and with the Falcons, a group whose members included Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett and Joe Stubbs, from 1957 to 1963.[3] He performed as a solo vocalist in the years to follow, but his biggest successes were as songwriter for other artists on labels like Stax and others in the 1960s and following decades. He began his solo vocalist career at Stax in 1967, recording on Atco Records beginning in 1968. Rice is one of the few musicians whose career touched both Motown and Stax Records.
As a solo recording artist, he had two chart hits: "Mustang Sally", which reached number 15 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1965, and "Coal Man", which reached number 48 on the soul music chart in 1969.[4] Besides "Mustang Sally", which also became a major hit for Wilson Pickett in 1966, and "Respect Yourself", a hit for the Staple Singers, his other songs include "Betcha Can't Kiss Me (Just One Time)", "Cheaper to Keep Her", "Cadillac Assembly Line", "Money Talks", "Cold Women With Warm Hearts", "Do the Funky Penguin, Pt. 1", "It Sho Ain't Me", and "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'". His compositions have been performed by many well-known artists, including the Staple Singers, Ike and Tina Turner, Albert King, Johnnie Taylor, Shirley Brown, Rufus Thomas, Etta James, Billy Eckstine, Eddie Floyd, Buddy Guy, The Rascals, The Kingsmen, Wilson Pickett, Albert Collins, Busta Rhymes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Otis Clay and The Blues Brothers (in Blues Brothers 2000).
In 1992, backed by the soul band The Dynatones, Rice released his first solo album, Right Now on Blue Suit Records, recorded and mixed by Steve Scharren at Scharren Studios in Toledo, Ohio. On it he reprised a number of his hit songs along with a mixture of new tunes.
Rice continued to live in the Detroit area. He died at home in Detroit on June 27, 2016, aged 82, from complications of Alzheimer's disease.

Brooks Williams *10.11.1958
By Yurthouses (talk) (Uploads) - Own work, CC0, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=30603345
Brooks Williams (born November 10, 1958) is an American acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter. His style combines roots, jazz, blues, classical, and folk. He has released some albums consisting of contemporary folk music, and some consisting of instrumental guitar music. Most recently his albums have featured blues music. He tours extensively both in the US and the UK.
Biography
Williams began releasing music on his own label, Red Guitar Blue Music, in 1989, with an EP called Red Guitar Plays Blue; this EP was pressed on CD with additional unreleased recordings from the late '80s in 1993, under the same title and label. His first two "official" albums (North, Night-time) were also self-released under Red Guitar Blue Music. The albums from 1992-1997 were recorded under contract with Green Linnet Records, except for Ring Some Changes, which was released by Signature Sounds. Williams signed to Signature Sounds and released the albums listed from 1999–2003, except for Dead Sea Cafe, a compilation of Green Linnet-era recordings released by Silent Planet Records.
In 2004, Williams returned to own Red Guitar Blue Music label, and has released albums exclusively in this way to the present, apart from Guitar Player, which was released through Solid Air Records. The first two albums, plus both versions of Red Guitar Plays Blue have been out of print for many years; in 2002, Williams selected favorite tracks from the first two albums for a best-of compilation on Red Guitar Blue Music called Acoustic Beginnings 1990-1991 which is now also out of print. In May 2006, Green Linnet Records was sold and Williams' five records under the label have since been out of print as well.
In recent years, Williams's music has been more heavily focused on the blues. Williams has relocated to England, and currently tours in both the UK and the US. In 2011, State of the Union, was a collaboration with the well-known British singer-songwriter Boo Hewerdine that was planned to be recorded in a total of 5 days. They finished in 1 1/2. Snake Oil captured the live energy between the two in concert.
Brooks released two albums in 2016. The first, entitled My Turn Now, features Sally Barker on backing vocals, Richard Gates on electric bass and co-producer Chris Pepper on the drums.
The second, Brooks' Blues, features a number of Williams's favourite blues songs including Robert Johnson's 'From Four Until Late', Memphis Slim's 'Mother Earth', Bessie Smith's 'Backwater Blues' and Willie McTell's 'Statesboro Blues'. Recorded 'old school' with just voice and guitar (acoustic, resonator and cigar box), live in the studio, using vintage mics and a creaky chair, Brooks’ Blues is a fitting homage to the music that has inspired this Statesboro, Georgia native since the day he was born.
