Popis - THAT'S YOUR LAST BOOGIE!:
The Best Of Johnny Otis 1945-1960. Godfather of Rhythm & Blues Johnny Otis, one of the founding fathers of rock n roll, is next up in Dave Penny's Architects Of Rock N Roll series, represented on a stellar collection straddling his multi-faceted career between 1945-1960. By sheer tragic coincidence, Dave had Otis lined up as a prime subject when planning the series over a year ago but January 17, 2012 saw the pioneering singer, songwriter, bandleader, talent spotter, impresario and disc jockey pass away at home in California, aged 90. These carefully-selected and sequenced 83 tracks spread over three CDs now stand as an ultimate tribute to this pivotal figure. The son of Greek immigrants (real name Ioannis Alexandros Veliotes), Otis grew up in the predominantly black area of Berkeley, telling an interviewer in 1994, Genetically, Im pure Greek. Psychologically, environmentally, culturally, by choice, Im a member of the black community. As such, he played a major part in creating a new sound for the growing audience of young urban blacks, starting out drumming in swing orchestras at 18. He formed a 16-piece big band in 1945, scoring his first hit with a glorious take on Harlem Nocturne. CD1s sublime smorgasbord of big band jazz and slinky blues, entitled Barrelhouse Stomp after the Watts club he opened in 1948, features further Otis orchestra titles alongside outings with Wynonie Harris, Joe Turner, Lester Young, (future Coasters) the Robins and Little Esther Phillips.
In 1949, Otis started recording for the Newark, New Jersey-based Savoy label, scoring 15 Billboard R&B chart hits between 1950-52, including number ones with Little Esther & Mel Walker which dominate CD2s Rockin Blues, joined by names including the Royals and Marilyn Scott. In 1952, Otis discovered Etta James and produced Big Mama Thorntons original version of Leiber and Stollers Hound Dog, while enjoying a growing career as a songwriter, already presenting the rock n roll form and attitude soon to sweep the world. While starting his lifelong vocation as a disc jockey in LA, he became a talent scout for King Records, while scoring the late fifties hits (including 1958 US top tenner Willie And The Hand Jive) featured on CD3s Going Crazy (1952-1960). Other names included on this most rocking of selections include Etta James, Little Richard, Pete Guitar Lewis, Johnny Ace, Sugar Pie, Faye Wilson and Mr Goggle Eyes August. Johnny's passion, benevolence, warmth and uncanny musical clairvoyance shines through every track on this magnificent set, capturing many of his achievements at this most crucial time in musical history. That aside, it also happens to be one hell of a party album for the summer.
