Jim Alfredson Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (i had no idea Otis was only 26. Thats insane.) Yep. Amazing how much he accomplished in that short time and how he changed music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) (i had no idea Otis was only 26. Thats insane.) Yep. Amazing how much he accomplished in that short time and how he changed music. For a Detroiter, that's an amazing statement. Soul developed between Billy Ward & the Dominoes' "Have mercy baby" in 1952 (Clyde McPhatter lead) and The Falcons' "I found a love" in 1962 (Wilson Pickett lead, plus Eddie Floyd, Sir Mack Rice and one of the 4 Tops' brother - the backing band later became the Ohio Players). Nothing that Otis, O V Wright, Carr or Aretha did after that took Soul further into church than "I found a love". (Soul is the classic instance of the innovators not being as good as some of those who followed.) MG PS the other members of the Falcons were Joe Stubbs (Eli's brother) and Ben Night. And the band in those days was known as "The Ohio Untouchables") Edited November 26, 2006 by The Magnificent Goldberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Most of us have outlived Jimmy Blanton and Charlie Christian. A lot of us have outlived Bird. In fact of the jazz musicians I most admire the only ones I haven't outlived are Benny Carter, Ornette Coleman and Sonny Rollins. And of the the first generation of rock and rollers we still have Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 My goal upon waking every day/afternoon is to outlive myself. Long as I can do that, hey, good day. Ain't gonna be so for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Well, I've outlived Stanley Kubrick, Orson Wells and Howard Hughes; coming up on Johnny Cash in 3 months, but passing Jackie Gleason in less than a fortnight (I'm holding my breath - oops poor strategy ) and Floyd Patterson in three weeks.So, how come Mr Cash appears in the high and medium fame lists? Did he pay twice?MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I didn't go to this site but one person who it amazes me that I have lived longer than is Philip K. Dick. It also amazes me that he was a few years older than my father. Both were/are big intellects and big thinkers and so so different! I would have loved to have been able to have a few conversations with Philip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
