I was also surprised that someone on the org had heard of Z.Z. Hill. I had always thought he just a local artist that was maybe heard of in the next state or two. Here's some more of the late Z.Z. HILL:
Down Home Blues Someone Else Is Steppin' In Shade Tree Mechanic What Am I Gonna Tell Her Friday Is My Day Three Into Two Won't Go Cheatin' In The Next Room Right Arm For Your Love Open House At My House Wang Dang Doodle Give A Little, Get A Little Stop You From Giving Me The Blues Has anyone ever heard of BOBBY RUSH?: He sang: Sue Wearing It Out Talk To Your Daughter Or DENISE LASALLE? She sang: Don't Mess With My Tu-Tu Down Home Blues (X Rated Version)....Remake of Z.Z. Hill's song. This Bell Was Made For Ringing Hey Lady, Honey Your Husband Is Cheatin' On Us You Can Have That Lowdown Husband Of Mine, But Please Don't Mess With My Man That was the blues side. On the funk side we had: FREEDOM: Get Up And Dance....This song was later sample by Grandmaster Flash and was called "Freedom". Whodat Talk About We Can't Jam, Whodat, Whodat At The Party Do It All Night....Remake of Prince's song. For ballads we had: SHO-NUFF: What Am I Gonna Do Don't Be Lonely For rap we had: KYPER: Conceited Tic-Tac-Toe These were/are all local artists.

The above list were local groups. On a national level, does anyone remember Millie Jackson's version of "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right"? Andy is a four letter word. | |

Oh hell yeah! The "rap" segment is outrageous! The "rap" segment is the reason I bought that song...she can really talk some trash! If you play all three parts of that song continuously, you have probably about a 15 minute song and they used to play every minute of it on the radio back in the day. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I remember Denise Lasalle from the Trapped By A Thing Called Love single. I just picked up her 1983 Malaco album "Lady In The Street" yesterday. While I was browsing, I saw "Trapped By A Thing Called Love" and it was on a different record label. I also saw some of Z.Z. Hill's earlier work on a different record label also. I was wondering how people had heard of these artists on a national level. At least "Down Home Blues" was on Malaco. I'm hoping now that Jackson is trying to revitalize Farish Street, we may get some national recognition like Memphis' Beale Street. Andy is a four letter word. | |

That was back in the days when the "rap" part of the song took on a whole different meaning. That's when they would break the song down and just talk to you. Two more great songs with a "rap" are: Cause I Love You - Lenny Williams She's Got Papers On Me - Richard "Dimples" Fields Andy is a four letter word. | |

vainandy said: We can surprise you when we want to. What can I say, we are learning from the best...the teacher...The Audience. vainandy I appreciate the compliment , but I hope I don't come off that way. I just heard a great deal of southern soul music on local radio stations when I lived in north Georgia/south Florida. I even had the experience of playing the so-called "Chitlin' circuit" while I was there. Some of the most unpretentious and music loving American folks i've ever run into. I'll try and list some other more obscure artists as I remember them. For example, a drummer that became a good friend and we ended up playing together for about 20 years used to play with a James Brown clone out of Georgia named Freddie Wilson. Freddie had a few singles out like (What Would It Be Like and Top Goin' Up, Bottom Goin' Down). What Would It Be Like Pt.1 tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm [Edited 11/21/04 15:56pm] "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.
