Diddy Wah radio love special

Feb 13, 6:37am Diddy Wah
Diddy Wah radio love special Today's Valentine's Day eve episode of my NTS radio show (5-6pm London time) will be all about love. To give a sneak peak, I blogged about seven of my favourite love-related 45s on the NTS blog . Several of these tunes have appeared around these parts previously, but I thought you might still be interested, especially if you're in the midst of putting together a mixtape for someone special. mp3: Dee Clark - Nobody But You (1958) A sweet love song [...]

Last Stop But One: The Final Musical Act of Rhythm and Blues Singer Little Willie John

Aug 23, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
Little Willie John - Leave My Kitten Alone (King 5219)
Little Willie John was one of the first and greatest R&B singers of all time. So why have so few people ever heard of him? Even if you're a massive rhythm and blues fan with stacks of soul-infused CDs and vinyl cluttering up your living quarters, there's a good chance you've never heard of Little Willie John. Your collection is apt to be made up of discs by the likes of Sam Cooke, Clyde McPhatter, Otis Redding, and James Brown, with perhaps some Arthur Alexander thrown into the mix, and maybe a few eclectic choices like Chuck Willis, the [...]

Little Willie John's Short, Influential Career Documented in New Book -- Excerpt

Jul 1, 2011, 2:22pm Spinner.com
FEVER - Little Willie John - 1956
Filed under: Exclusive , Book Club GAB Archive/Redferns Before there was Motown, it took a pint-sized dynamo named Little Willie John to put Detroit on the musical map. One fellow performer insisted that it was John, not James Brown , who should have been called Soul Brother Number One. He recorded the first version of 'Fever,' the great torch song, and the original 'Need Your Love So Bad,' now a blues standard. Many acts, [...]

Clarence Carter – Slip Away

May 21, 2011, 12:16pm AudioCred
Clarence Carter – Slip Away I first heard this song not off Clarence Carter's original album, but off the fantastic Wonder Boys soundtrack, which also includes such classics as Bob Dylan's "Things Have Changed," and "Buckets of Rain," Buffalo Springfield's "A Child's Claim to Fame," Little Willie John's "Need Your Love So Bad," and I'm going to stop listing them because pretty much every track is timeless. Someone in the sound department at Warner Bros. really did their homework. I'd put it as one of the top three movie soundtracks I've ever listened to, without question. "Slip Away" is my favorite, [...]

The Tragedy Of Little Willie John

Sep 3, 2010, 12:29am Geezer Music Club
The Tragedy Of Little Willie John Tragic stories have always been a part of music history, and have played out in almost as many varieties as there are performers who've lived them. But one of the most most poignant types of tragedies is when a performer throws away his opportunity, and that would be the case with R&B pioneer Little Willie John. Although he is remembered by many as one of the most influential early performers in R&B, a short career tied to the disappointing circumstances of his final days probably cost him the kind of lasting fame enjoyed by contemporaries like James Brown and [...]

More Meows

Mar 23, 2010, 7:04pm Diddy Wah
More Meows mp3: Little Willie John - Leave My Kitten Alone Little Willie John demonstrates that he's definitely a cat person on this upbeat tune from 1959. Superb vocals, metaphorically transparent risque lyrics and a rollicking beat; that's all that needs to be said about this tune. An interesting Little Willie fact: his older sister is another great singer, Mable John, who recorded for Motown and Stax, and also spent some time as a Raelette.

Little Willie John - You Hurt Me

Oct 17, 2009, 9:01pm SqueezeMyLemon
Little Willie John - You Hurt Me According to Wikipedia; William Edward John, better known by the stage name Little Willie John (November 15, 1937 – May 26, 1968) was an American R&B singer of the 1950s and early 1960s, best known for his hits "All Around the World" (1955) and the much-covered "Fever" (1956), a tune copied by Peggy Lee and made famous in 1958. He did not get the great press that Sam Cooke, Clyde McPhatter, and James Brown got but, Little Willie John ranks up there in my mind any way as one of R&B's most influential performers. And the below [...]
