49:00 As I said two years earlier, The Beatles SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THE VEE-JAY(V.J.) LABEL AT ALL! Vee-Jay had NO BUSINESS carrying The Beatles or ANY OTHER artist, duo, trio or group(4 or more members) on EMI's roster WHATSOEVER! As Capitol was owned ALMOST OUTRIGHT from 1955 and ABSOLUTELY OUTRIGHT from 1980 by EMI(The Gramophone Co.) of Britain, Capitol should've been OBLIGED to carry ALL OF EMI'S BRITISH, AUSTRALIAN, NEW ZEALAND AND EUROPEAN ROSTER into Canada, and the less-important American market, and Capitol SHOULD"VE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO SAY IN THE MATTER AT ALL!
Why would there even exist a situation where an unheard album could be in any contract? That just sounds ridiculous. Also, speaking of Curtis’, Curtis King Jr., who sings in two different bands with Bruce Springsteen, has a beautiful voice too.
The Christian god Jesus is Satan the devil and he is not coming back Christians worship Satan with a human sacrifice of Jesus to Satan You’ve been deceived Repent accept jahovah and do good works
I remember reading in a book about Rock and Roll history that the area in front of Chess Records was a bus stop and that Chess had a speaker outside the front of their building. Whenever they had a new record coming out , they'd play over the speaker and if the black folks were dancing to it, they knew they had a hit.
people was changing over and they were always looking 4 a new sound the people of the 195OS were listen 2 more music than be 4 and in the bigger towns there was records stores every where and it was the young people who was buying the records and that's where the music sales came from there recording studios every where and just as many record stores there is only 2 big music stores I know of 2 day left OMG 7 8 2O23
Im proud to say i have many ties to the blues, besides playing with leon Russell, i live right beside and play with Bob Margolin steady rolling, who played with muddy waters for years and years, and I've heard all the stories you folks would die to hear. It's crazy how far a hillbilly with a guitar can go, especially in swva
As a kid who grew up in the Chicago burbs in the 60's and 70's (Blue Island [southside] ) I'm proud to know this, some of which I already knew, as a musician and ongoing lover of Chicago blues and soul.
Sugar Pie DeSanto, Mitty Collier, Jackie Ross, Holly Maxwell, Koko Taylor, Jan Bradly, Fontella Bass so many soulful divas including Ruby Andrews, Josie Armstead and Etta James
I bought a lot of records from Chess Record Company in Chicago Illinois. Nothing like good old Rock N Roll And The Blues. Kick up the music and play it loud to me.
So mad about even though Chess etc did give Black music a Hell of a boost they also as Jerry Butler made black artists basically Musical Slaves by paying them a pittance of what they Earned which Big money mostly was taken by White record owners All that is all wrong but later Black guys like Barry Gordy did the same to their Black artists so it was and Still is all ABOUT MONEY Great Documentary not only about the music but the hopes,dreams and the will to make Better lives for Black people in America
That I – vi – IV – V chord progression was just done to death. "Duke of Earl" used it too. Most all those Doo-wop songs used it. I just got so sick of it, but i was 7 years old in 62, so who was I?? A future hard rocker and metal head, and then i abandoned metal (not hard rock) and got into contemporary country fan and a Southern rocker. But it's ALL based in the BLUES, including R&B, of course.
I must say my favourite Curtis is absolutely I'm So Proud. What a fantastic programme this is thanks for the upload! KTF from a Northern Soulie

38:00 Billy Davis was a cousin of Berry Gordy Jr., and co-wrote songs under the pseudonym Tyran Carlo.
Cadillac records would've been so much more received had it not been circled around Beyonce
Did Janis Joplin get her whole thing from Etta James?
SEE WHAT WE BLACK FOLKS CAN DO .CONTROL THE WORLD IF WE JUST RAISE OUR CHILDREN RIGHT AN BE ACOUNTABLE
Thank you.

Sha boom was the worst rape of a great and fundamentally awesome song! Aka the crew cuts suck!

You should title your vids with the guests in it so you can get more views, and make it easier for ppl to find what they are looking for
Fantastic program. Thank you.

I'M WHITE & I'VE LOVED THE BLUES, R&B , MOTOWN FOR 70 YEARS
I STILL LISTEN TO THE MUSIC EVERY DAY NOW , BEST MUSIC THERE EVER BEEN MADE

Excellent!
the Stones spent a lot of time with blues greats in Memphis too.

Interesting… not as accurate as it could be (King was in Cincinnati), but a decent overview with a unique angle.
Can we all agree Pat Boone has to be one of the biggest vocal hacks ever? Elvis had to come along and teach him how to sing. Boone never learned.
@4:45 that's Minnie Riperton on the left. She was in a group called The Gems.
4:15 now that area is totally gentrified
42:10 what song is that?
HI GOD BLESS…
WOW!!! THIS IS GREAT SUPER GREAT IN FACT I AM SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS. WHAT A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL HISTORY
