This week on Blues Before Sunrise we’ll
present a feature called The Buddy Johnson Songbook. Buddy Johnson was a
pianist/ composer/bandleader who lead a Big Band from 1938 to c.1960. Along
with his featured vocalist/baby sister, Ella Johnson, Buddy and the band
scored a series of hit records that over the years have been covered by many
other artists. Among the well known
hit records were Stop Pretending, Please Mr. Johnson, Fine Brown Frame, and
Since I Fell For you. We’ll hear the original recordings by Buddy &
the band and then present a variety of cover versions by such well known artists as Charles Brown, Ray Charles, Fats
Waller, Jimmy Witherspoon, Ruth Brown and many others. THE BUDDY JOHNSON SONG BOOK - ONLY ON BBS! |

BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE
FOR 1/10/21 |
|
|
This week on BBS it’s our Fishtail Special. We gather
all the tunes we can find that make reference to Cadillacs. I’m almost
embarrassed to do this one – but its fun.
What’s next – Whiskey & Wimmen?
Also, during Hour #4 we’ll listen to selected sides by Muddy Waters on
tour of Poland back in 1976 on the ever-popular Pol-Jaz Label. Only on BBS! |
