The lady's no shrinkage violet; her autobiography, Rage to Survive, describes her past (including legion do drugs addictions) in sordid item. Only her personal problems have rarely moved her tattle. James has hung in there from the eld of R&B and doo wop in the mid-'50s through soul's late-'60s prime and right up into the '90s and 2000s (where her 1994 disc Mystery story Lady paid loving jazz-based tribute to i of her idols, Billie Holiday). Etta James' voice has deepened o'er the years, coarsened more than than a little, simply still conveys noteworthy passion and pain. Jamesetta Hawkins was a baby gospel singing prodigy, telling in her Los Angeles Baptist church choir (and over the wireless) when she was only five days old under the care of Professor James Earle Hines. She affected to San Francisco in 1950, shortly teaming with deuce other girls to form a vocalizing radical. When she was 14, bandleader Johnny Otis gave the trio an audition. He in particular dug their answer birdsong to Hank Ballard & the Midnighters' "Work With Me Annie." Against her mother's wishes, the young vocaliser embarked for L.A. to record "Roll With Me Henry" with the Otis ring and vocaliser Richard Berry in 1954 for Modern Records. Otis upside-down her number one name to devise her stage handle and dubbed her vocal radical the Peaches (besides Etta's sobriquet). "Roll With Me Henry," renamed "The Wallflower" when some radiocommunication programmers objected to the original title's connotations, topped the R&B charts in 1955. The Peaches dropped from the tree short thenceforth, but Etta James kept on vocalizing for Modern end-to-end lots of the tenner (ofttimes under the supervising of saxophonist Maxwell Davis). "Good Rockin' Daddy" besides did rather well for her afterwards in 1955, simply worth follow-ups such as "Cleaning woman" and "Bad Lover" (the latter a fiery cradle cut in New Orleans with Lee Allen on adolphe Sax) failed to catch on. James II landed at Chicago's Chess Records in 1960, signing with their Argo subsidiary. Immediately, her transcription calling kicked into heights appurtenance; non only if did a mate of duets with her then-boyfriend (Moonglows lead singer Harvey Fuqua) chart, her have sides (outset with the tortured lay "All I Could Do Was Cry") chased each other up the R&B lists as comfortably. Leonard Chess viewed James as a classy lay isaac Bashevis Singer with pop crossover potential drop, financial support her with lush violin orchestrations for 1961's pleasant-tasting "At Last" and "Trust in Me." But James' rougher slope wasn't forsaken -- the gospel-charged "Something's Got a Hold on Me" in 1962, a kinetic 1963 unrecorded LP (Etta James Rocks the House) cut at Nashville's New Era Club, and a blues-soaked 1966 pas de deux with childhood sidekick Sugar Pie De Santo, "In the Basement," ensured that. Although Chess hosted its have killer house band, James traveled to Rick Hall's Fame studios in Muscle Shoals in 1967 and emerged with one of her all-time classics. "State Mama" was a searing slice of eudaimonia Southern soul that contrasted markedly with some other standout from the same roger Huntington Sessions, the spine-chilling ballad "I'd Rather Go Blind." Despite the death of Leonard Chess, Etta James remained at the label into 1975, experimenting toward the end with a more than rock-based advance. Thither were some mighty lean days, both personally and professionally, for Miss Peaches. But she got back on track recording-wise in 1988 with a set for Island, Seven-spot Year Itch, that reaffirmed her Southern soul supremacy. Her following albums have been a varied lot -- 1990's Relieved to My Guns was contemporaneous in the extreme; 1992's Jerry Wexler-produced The Right Time, for Elektra, was glibly soulful, and her almost other '90s outings birth explored jazz directions. In 1998, she as well issued a vacation record album, Etta James Christmas. She was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001, and in 2003 received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. That year also sawing machine the release of her Let's Roll album, followed in 2004 by a CD of raw blues performances, Blues to the Bone, both on RCA Records. James then shifted gears and released an album of pop standards, All the Way, on RCA in 2006. In concert, Etta James is a impudent, no-holds-barred performer whose suggestive stage antics sometimes edge on the repugnant. She's paid her dues many times over as an R&B and soul initiate; long may she bear on to shock the naive.

Singles Club reviews: August 5 2008

Late of the Pier - Heartbreak
Late of the Pier were a piece up themselves on Nokia Green Room recently, merely we'll forgive them on the grounds that they're currently making some vaguely interesting noises with guitars. Sure, most of these noises go "bleep" or "burble" and are the result of pressing a button on a synthesiser, but you've got to give encouragement to anyone bravely venturing through a post-Klaxons indie universe. Quick note to band, though: if you're scrawny and "indie", please don't take your tiptop off in the video. I wouldn't do it, and neither should you.

Magistrates � Make This Work
Sounding wish Starsailor canful do funny things to a band. Previously known as devout retro-outfit Echelon, these guys have accomplished the errors of their ways so much so that they've turned into, um, a funky Justin Timberlake testimonial act who've zipped up their flies in a rush. To be fair � and fairness is our independent concern in Singles Club � this has got quite a nice DIY-vibe going on with the keyboards and they for sure know their way around a pop hook. There's a academic degree of pleasance here, simply as a magistrate mightiness say, it's a guilty one.

Ashlee Simpson � Little Miss Obsessive
"Am I the reason why you toss?" Now, I'm not trying to be overtly prim here, but is that actually any way for a young girl to start out a pop lyric? I don't care if the next tune is "and turn, at night" - the terms has been done! Actually, no, the damage is done at the chorus line when the Big Guitars come tabu and it's impossible to think of anything apart from 38-year-old co-songwriters called Chad, gurning themselves into a fury while encircled by expensive studio gear. Gross.
Hear Little Miss Obsessive

Santogold � Lights Out
More proof that the continual comparisons to MIA designate half the UK music press up to be a crowd of lazy old racists. The tangible problem with Santogold is that she's not often more exciting than your average guitar band � she just wears brighter trousers. Lights Out is decent sufficiency, though � gently psychedelic pop that wins an extra shiny Guardian/Music star for the passable Liz Fraser impression in the chorus.
Listen to Lights Out

Roots Manuva � Again & Again
How to abide by up a forward-thinking, bottom-rupturing bass craze like Buff Nuff? With a slice of retro reggae, manifestly. This brings to head the relaxed vibe of Burning Spear while Rodney raps about his musical struggle and pisses off the odd irate pensioner in the video. Also, if The Music Industry's reading � start flogging Roots Manuva cricket around the bend NOW, someone's missing out on a killing hither.

Cher has had trey careers that place her indelibly in the public cognizance, and deuce take been in association with her then-husband, composer/producer/singer Salvatore "Sonny boy" Bono (February 16, 1935-January 8, 1998). She charted major hit records in the 1960s and 1970s, working in idioms ranging from early '60s girl group-style ballads to Jackie Deshannon folk-influenced pop, to adult contemporary pop in the manner of later Dusty Springfield. She as well embarked on an playacting career, ab initio in the late sixties in association with her run as section of Sonny & Cher but by and by on her own, which lED to a series of more and more dressed and compelling performances in Silkwood, Mask and Lunatic, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.


Cherilyn Sarkisian was innate in California in 1946; she was 17 when she number 1 met Salvatore "Sonny boy" Bono, a ballad maker and protégé of producer Phil Spector. Bono brought her to Spector, world Health Organization exploited her as a computer backup isaac Merrit Singer and produced one individual by her, a gaud Beatles tribute phonograph record called "Ringo I Love You" issued under the name Bonnie Jo Mason. It disappeared without a trace, simply the couplet were undaunted -- they emerged as a duo, initially called Caesar & Cleo, by and by that year, and burn "The Letter," "Do You Wanna Dance" and "Love Is Strange."


Sidney Caesar & Cleo didn't bother the chart compilers with any degree of achiever, simply late in 1964, Cher (then known as Cherilyn) was signed to Liberty Records' Imperial imprint, and Bono came along as producer. A Spector-ish variation of "Dream Baby" managed to get airplay in Los Angeles, becoming a local dispatch, and they suspected they were onto something. That same month, Sonny & Cher, as they were directly known, signed to Reprise Records and released their number 1 single, "Baby Don't Go." The song became a major local rack up in Los Angeles, after which the duet jumped from Reprise to the Atco label, a part of Atlantic Records. In April 1965 their number 1 single, "Just now You" was released and rosiness to issue 20 on the charts. The brace was on its way, and Cher likewise had Imperial Records afterward her for a bit individual. The couple had seen the Byrds pioneer commercial folk-rock with Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," and had witnessed them performing another Dylan turn, "All I Really Want to Do" at a golf club in Los Angeles. The mathematical group intended to issuing their own transcription of "All I Really Want to Do," only Cher, with Sonny producing, outfox them to the punch with her have recording of the song.


She chased a dual calling for the succeeding two years, cutting solo recordings under Sonny's steering that regularly charted, and duets with her hubby for Atco. A month after "All I Really Want to Do," they released "I Got You Babe," which was one of the biggest-selling and near love pop/rock hits of the mid-'60s, and the couple's key signature tune crosswise deuce eras of success. Cher's solo career all over up slenderly overshadowed by her turn with Sonny & Cher, only at the time she was to the full competitive on her own terms -- her low gear LP reached the Billboard Top 20 and was on the albums charts for hexad months. "Spang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" was some other attain, a million-seller that made routine terzetto in America and England, and she made the Top Ten erstwhile more with her 1967 individual "You Better Sit Down Kids." The latter sung, written by Bono (and which was likewise a attain for Glen Campbell), dealt with disunite, an unusual topic for a sixties pop track record, and was one of a series of releases on which Cher's music abroach difficult areas -- others were "I Feel Something's in the Air," which dealt with unwanted maternity, and "Mama (When My Dollies Have Babies)," both scripted by Bono.


Cher's solo career at Imperial, which had created some political problems for the distich at Atlantic, over with the backsliding of her take in 1967, and she stirred to Atlantic. Ironically, it was this move that contributed the infelicitous reversal of the couple's fortunes at the end of the decade.


By the end of the sixties, Sonny & Cher were no longer marketing records. A series of commercial missteps, conjugated with a change in populace taste, had precipitously curtailed their gross revenue, and a pair of movies (Good Times, Chastity) had lost millions. Additionally, they were no longer recording for Atlantic -- though they were still under sign on to them -- outstanding to the label's determination to consume Cher's solo recordings extinct of Sonny's custody and set apart a new producer to her.


Conjugate with the presentation of a beak from the Internal Revenue Service for $200,000 in indorse taxes, these events left the distich in fearful financial straights at the end of the sixties. They were forced to play golf-club dates, opening for artists like Pat Boone, and it was thither that their bit calling, and a second career for Cher, took form. A new contract with Decca Records in 1971, conjugate with a luck at a summer surrogate gig on the CBS television receiver network, brought them a second gear probability at success.


The try on television was a success, as the match proved to be as mirthful as they were musically various. It took a small yearner to discover a raw formula for Cher's music -- her initial individual on Decca's Kapp pronounce, "Classified 1A," written by Bono, was a failure; a unplayful birdcall dealing with a girl's feelings for a young man killed in Vietnam; it was topical in all the wrong shipway to become a pop chart achiever. Producer Snuff Garrett was recruited to work with her, and he establish a series of songs that were complete for Cher's maturing talent.


"Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," a conscious attempt to emulate Springfield's "Word of a Preacher Man" (which also recalled Cher's have "Sleep with Bang") was released late in 1971 and became a number one hit and a million-seller. To some listeners, "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" was the epitome of schlocky pop/rock, merely the song's topic subject, unusual pacing changes, and an incredibly memorable chorus-hook became a vehicle for a transcendent performance by the isaac Bashevis Singer, grading Cher's ripening as an creative person (the B-side, "I Hate to Sleep Alone," written by Peggy Clinger of the Clinger Sisters, inquisitively sufficiency, managed to echo Sonny's Spector-influenced productions from the Imperial age). A follow-up record album, featuring her covers of contemporary hits such as "Fire and Rain," sold well too, and her next single, "The Way of Love," a revival of a mid-'60s Kathy Kirby hit, solidified the image of a new, more than confident and herculean Cher. And the debut of the couple's regular network diversity series on CBS in January 1972 brought them back to the centre of American and international popular acculturation in a more mature, wittier pretext, and one that hard much more on Cher as a personality.


Her 1960s music ran the gamut from Spector-style miniature teen-pop symphonies to covers of present-day adult pop ("It's Not Unusual") and folk-rock, all cut under Bono's counseling. Her phonation wasn't very fat or powerful, only it was expressive and surrounded by Bono's effulgent Spector creations, and she could position over an near unsuitably cheerful sounding interpretation of "The Bells of Rhymney" or "Blowin' in the Wind." By contrast, her early seventies material, solo or with Sonny, had a more grownup item of view and personality. Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" and the after number one solo hits "Half-breed" and "Glowering Lady" were dramatic, highly intense performances, nigh as practically "acted" as song dynasty, and very different from her sixties output.


In 1974, it was revealed that the couple's marriage was coming to an end. Ironically, Cher came kO'd of this split more fix than her husband, despite his having guided her career for a decade and having all of the real breeding in the amusement patronage. She embarked on an acting career, even as she continued to make headlines for her romantic exploits, including an affair with (and deuce marriages to) Gregg Allman. She became a far better actress than she was a isaac M. Singer, outset revealed in Mike Nichols' Silkwood (1983) and then in Peter Bogdanovich's Mask (1985) and George Miller's The Witches of Eastwick (1987). Her acting peers caught on to the worth of her ferment in time for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her functioning in Norman Jewison's 1987 romanticist comedy Lunatic.


Since the mid-'70s, Cher has been known more than for her acting than for her music, although she has continued to book for numerous labels, including Columbia, and in 1998 scored an international chart-topping crush with the club-friendly single "Trust." She is, by Garrett's analysis, more than of a hairdresser than a isaac M. Singer, and well-nigh as practically a personality as an actress, near a contemporary Helen Morgan (Showboat, etc.) with better portion in life and career.

Spike Lee - Lee Complains About Lack Of Interest For James Brown Biopic

Director SPIKE LEE is struggling to win financial backing for a planned movie about late soul legend JAMES BROWN, insisting there's simply not enough interest in the star's life for the film.

The outspoken filmmaker admits he has been trying to set plans into action for a biopic about the Godfather of Soul for some time - but has failed to get a studio to back his project.

He tells MTV.com, "I have a black-biopic, no-money trilogy: Jackie Robinson. Joe Louis and James Brown. Those are three films I have scripts for and am trying to get done but have been unsuccessful so far.

"They (studio bosses) don't think there's a market for it, they're not interested. Or they think it costs too much. So that's one of those reasons why studios don't make anything.
