Book Details
Table of Contents
Rhythm and blues, 1946-55. There was a tradition, which was the great tradition of jazz
That the records sounded decent at all by today's standards is a miracle
The Braun Brothers were the first people to come out of town
Well, let's go down there and see Fats Domino; they told me he's real good
I made "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," then I made Shirley and Lee, "I'm gone"; those two records were burnin'
(Guitar Slim) had an electric sound like you never heard
Rock 'n' roll, 1955-59. "Tutti frutti" was practically an afterthought at the first session
When things go right I can make records all day
My real assignment was to root out more Lloyds, Fats Dominos, and all that jazz
Dave Bartholomew seemed to have a greater interest in my music than Paul (Gayten) did
We were the nucleus of all the rock that came out of New Orleans
The Dew Drop Inn was the real hangout
The local record scene, 1955-63. The only local label we had of any significance was Ace
Johnny (Vincent) saw a goldmine in the sky with pop records
Mac Rebennack played on a lot of sessions; it was more than playing & he contributed
Ric was small; he didn't want to venture out, Mr. Ruffino
With Minit we were never consciously trying to do an R&B record; it just happened
Along with Minit Records, Joe Banashak started another company called Instant Records
I had my own plans with A.F.O.
Cosimo's studio was fully booked and it was hard to get in
The end of an era, the start of another, 1963-. If we'd had Grammys at that time, Fats and I would have been up there twenty years straight
A lot of people came up on a shoestring trying to make it
The whole music scene changed, not only New Orleans; the whole rock music scene changed
Well, I knew all the top people in (Nola), 'cause I was doing all the recording
One day Cosimo said, "The jig is up"
The Meters were a big hit in the late 1960s
Jumpin', dancin', carryin' on, and having a good time
The Influence of New Orleans rhythm and blues continues to loom large today.
