Goodbye: Goodbye Bessie Mae

Lonnie Youngblood: Goodbye Bessie Mae [purchase] In the mid 60s, Lonnie Youngblood had his own band under various names, including Lonnie Youngblood and the Bloodhounds and Lonnie Youngblood and the Red Jackets. It appears that Dartmouth College was on to him as a "great" since he was called back more than once (there is a story that his repeat appearances there are a part of the legend of the Animal House film). At about this time, he also sat in with Sam and Dave, Ben E. King and James Brown among others. If you've ever heard of him, you ...

On this day: October 27th

October 27th, 1960, proved a BIG day for soul when Ben E King recorded his all time classics ‘Stand By Me’ and ‘Spanish Harlem’. Stand By Me has gone on to be covered over 400 times, a fact made all the more remarkable when you consider that Ben had had no intention of voicing the track. He’d originally written it for fellow soul legends The Drifters. After they passed over on it (suckers !) and Ben found himself, post recording Spanish Harlem, with a little spare studio time, he decided to rattle off his new number. The rest, as they ...
