     MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW
    ON ROCK-IT RADIO #3981 - BOBBY MITCHELL AND THE
    TOPPERS STORY!

    Bobby Mitchell & The Toppers

    The "Juke In The Back" digs deep into New Orleans Rhythm &
    Blues this week to focus on Bobby Mitchell & The Toppers,
    one of the few vocal groups to come out of a city best known for
    its blues, jazz and cajun roots. The Spiders were the best known
    vocal group to come out of 1950s New Orleans, but Bobby Mitchell
    & The Toppers were probably more versatile in the sense that they
    could not only shout the blues, like Roy Brown or Wynonie Harris,
    but they could also harmonize like a top notch doo wop group.
    Bobby Mitchell is best remembered today as the cat who originally sang
    "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday," two years before Fats Domino
    would cut it, but it was his "Try Rock n' Roll" from 1956 that would
    be his only charting hit (reaching #14 nationally). That song capitalized
    on the emerging rock n' roll craze and remains a record of its time.
    Bobby Mitchell and The Toppers were definitely a vocal group of their time,
    but they are well worth checking out as Matt The Cat gives them the
    spotlight treatment on this week's "Juke In The Back."

    1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947
    2. Cadillac Baby - Roy Brown - DeLuxe 1950

    JOHNNY OTIS PASSES AWAY AT 90 by Lane Quigley

    It is with profound sadness that I have learned of the passing
    of R&B pioneer Johnny Otis at age 90.

    I last spoke with him about six or seven years ago.  He was in failing
    health at that time, and his voice was quite weak.  He declined an
    interview at that time.  I spoke with his wife Phyllis a few times after
    that, and she was trying to convince him to sit for an interview, but to
    no avail.  She told me that Johnny would get a spark when he got to
    talking about "the old days".

    I know that our own Steve Propes and Bill Green and Bennie Dingo also had the privilege of meeting Johnny Otis.

    His importance in the rise of R&B can not be overstated.  He was one
    of the earliest stars of the genre.  I hope to be able to find the time
    to produce a tribute program.  He certainly deserves as many accolades
    and tributes as can be generated.

    Here is the obit that will run in the LA Times:

    Pioneering rhythm-and-blues singer, songwriter, drummer, bandleader and
    disc jockey Johnny Otis made the kind of conscious life choice early on
    that few people have the inclination, or circumstance, to carry out.
    Born white, the son of Greek immigrant parents, and raised in a predominantly
    black neighborhood in Northern California in the 1920s, Otis decided as a
    youth that he'd rather be black.
     
    The choice put him on a path to a life in music during which he created the
    sensually pulsing 1958 hit "Willie and the Hand Jive." It also gave him a
    deep connection to black culture that helped him discover such future
    stars of R&B and rock as Etta James, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson,
    Hank Ballard and Little Esther Phillips.
     
    "Yes, I chose," Otis told the Los Angeles Times in 1979, "because despite
    all the hardships, there's a wonderful richness in black culture that I prefer."
     
    Otis died Tuesday in the Los Angeles area, where he had lived for much of
    his life, said Tom Reed, a black-music historian. He was 90.
    Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Otis continued leading
    a big band R&B, jazz, soul, gospel and roots-rock revue in recent years, literally
    and figuratively beating the drum for the music that fired his imagination.
    "I get a wave of pride in America when I look back at what we've accomplished
    in the field of music," Otis told The San Francisco Chronicle in 2000.
    "People are going to wake up to this great reservoir of music we've created
    in America - cakewalks, one-steps, boogie-woogie, country and western.
    I had a bit to do with one of those traditions."
     
    "I'm not suggesting our music is the only music," he told The Times in 1986
    when the once-endangered musical style he helped create was staging a
    comeback, "but I am suggesting that there are certain elements in America's
    culture that are so precious that it would be a shame for them to go down the drain."
     
    He was born John Veliotes on Dec. 28, 1921, in Vallejo, northeast of San Francisco,
    and was raised in Berkeley, where his father ran a grocery store in a largely
    black community.
     
    "When I got near teen age, I was so happy with my friends and the African
    American culture that I couldn't imagine not being part of it," Otis told
    The San Diego Union-Tribune in 1991.
     
    He started playing drums with big bands and jazz combos, and in his early 20s
    came to L.A. to join Harlan Leonard's Kansas City Rockers, the house band at
    Club Alabam on the thriving Central Avenue jazz-blues-R&B club scene.  
    "Man, you could go into one club and there'd be (jazz saxophone giant) Lester
    Young jamming, go into another and you'd find T Bone (Walker, the Texas blues
    guitarist and singer), and down the street Miles (Davis) would be blowing,"
    Otis said in 1979. "Yeah, L.A. was happening."
     
    But tough times in the late 1940s forced bandleaders to pare their large
    ensembles back to a small handful of players - the perfect size, as it turned out,
    for the new styles of R&B and rock 'n' roll that were emerging.
     
    "To compensate for all the instruments we were eliminating, we had to put in
    some new ones, each with a fuller sound: an electric guitar, a blues guitar, a
    boogie piano," Otis told The Times in 1984, and "the sound changed too,
    into more of a cross between swing and country blues.... We ended up
    creating a whole new art form: a hybrid music that became known as rhythm
    and blues."
    Otis scored a signature hit of that nascent style in 1946 with the moody,
    saxophone-driven instrumental "Harlem Nocturne," which was revived
    in 1960 by the white New Jersey rock group the Viscounts.
     
    At one point, Otis was asked to judge a talent competition in Detroit
    and selected three winners: Wilson, Ballard and Little Willie John.
    Otis' talent, he once said, was being able to "see something before
    anyone else."
     
    He wrote the song that became James' first charting hit - vaulting her
    to No. 1 on the R&B chart in 1955 - with "The Wallflower," popularly
    known as "Roll With Me Henry." It was a female-centric response to
    Ballard's sexually charged hit "Work With Me Annie" that raised
    eyebrows for its frankness.
     
    Then he came up with a variant on Bo Diddley's signature 1955 hit
    "Bo Diddley" using the same five-count "shave-and-a-haircut, two-bits!"
    beat and created a smash of his own in "Willie and the Hand Jive."
    It's been recorded dozens of times by a wide variety of musicians,
    most notably by Eric Clapton in 1974.

    Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder

    Remember, if the show that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom of the list of radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows to have a high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And currently we can only afford the 25 latest shows online here at Rock-it Radio.  So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off the Rock-it Radio archives page.  Usually a show will at least last 16 to 20 days, once it is placed in the archives.

    ============================================
