- NOTES
Die Entscheidung fⁿr das dritte eigene Album seit 1970 hat
Rⁿdiger Ladwig dem Kⁿnstler abgenommen. Der Deutsche hatte
bereits zwei Compilation-CDs mit Coveraufnahmen von Hebbs
gr÷▀tem äSunnyô ver÷ffentlicht. Nun war es an der Zeit,
den 66-JΣhrigen wieder ins Studio zu holen und seine alten
Hits neu aufzunehmen.
An seinen kⁿrzlich verstorbenen Freund Lou Rawls zollt
Hebb mit dem Remake von äWhen Love Goes Wrongô Tribut.
Hier holt die Musiker aus dem Versteck, verlangt Tempo und
lΣsst sich zugleich ausreichend Zeit, jede Note bis zum
letzten Ton auszuartikulieren. Welche 40 Jahre er bereits
hinter sich hat, Jahre in denen er selbst nur zwei Alben
unter seinem Namen ver÷ffentlichte, dafⁿr aber etliche
Songs fⁿr andere Kⁿnstler schrieb, zeigt äSatisfied Mindô.
Soviel Weisheit im Text, in der Stimme und im vorweislich
funkigem Arrangement schafft sonst kein noch so
engagierter Neo-Souler.
Hebbs Musik ist generell schwer zu fassen. Er ist
eindeutig dem Soul verschrieben, bedient sich instrumental
aber gerne beim Jazz (Bound By Love) und besitzt die
Ausdruckskraft eines wahren Blueser.
Mittendrin versteckt, aber eigentlich ein Highlight des
Albums ist die Neuaufnahme von äSunnyô. 1963 schrieb Hebb
den Song als Reaktion auf den Tod Kennedys und die fast
zeitgleiche Ermordung seines Bruders Harold. Damals noch
im Alleingang, hat er das Lied nun mit Astrid North
aufgenommen. Die SΣngerin von Bands wie Cultured Pearls
und Soulounge ⁿbernimmt im Wechsel Strophen des Originals,
Bobby verbⁿndet sich mit Ihr im Refrain und beide lassen
den BlΣsern ihr minutenlanges Solo.
äThat┤s All I Wanna Knowö ist mehr als eine Sammlung neu
aufgenommener Hits. Die CD prΣsentiert das umfangreiche
Werk Hebbs, seines Zeichens SΣnger UND Songwriter.

About Bobby Hebb:
Bobby Hebb made his stage debut on his third birthday,
July 26, 1941, when tap dancer Hal Hebb introduced his
little brother to show business at The Bijou Theater. This
was an appearance on The Jerry Jackson Revue of 1942 even
though it was 1941, "that was how Jerry, a big man in
vaudeville in the '30s, '40s, and '50s, did things" noted
the singer. Harold Hebb was nine years of age at the time
and the young brothers worked quite a few nightclubs
before Bobby Hebb entered first grade. Nashville
establishments like The Hollywood Palm, Eva Thompson Jones
Dance Studio, The Paradise Club, and the basement bar in
Prentice Alley as well as the aforementioned Bijou Theater
found Bobby and Hal dancing and singing tunes like "Lady
B. Good," "Let's Do the Boogie Woogie," "Lay That Pistol
Down Babe," and other titles that were popular at that
time. Hebb's father, William Hebb, played trombone and
guitar, his mother, Ovalla Hebb, played piano and guitar,
while his grandfather was a chef/cook on the Dixie Flyer,
an express train on the L&N -- Louisville & Nashville
railroad. Brother Harold Hebb would eventually join
Excello recording artists the Marigolds, documented in Jay
Warner's biography of singer Johnny Bragg, the book Just
Walkin' in the Rain; while Bobby Hebb, with so much
musical influence and inspiration, would go on to pen
hundreds upon hundreds of tunes, among them, BMI's number
25 most played song on their website in 2000, the classic
"Sunny."
Georgie Fame and Cher, charted with the title in England,
but it was the Bobby Hebb original which reached the
highest on charts in Europe and America. Covers by Frank
Sinatra with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie
Wonder, Frankie Valli, Nancy Wilson, the Four Tops, Wilson
Pickett, Dusty Springfield, and so many others, insured
the song would reach audiences outside of those who heard
and continue to hear it on Top 40 and "oldies" stations.
But the song reached out beyond Top 40, climbing the
country and R&B charts as well. Kal Rudman calls this a
rare industry "hat trick" in the liner notes on the 1966
Phillips' album, but what no one could predict is how the
song would find versions by Boney M. and Yambu bringing it
to dance clubs, while jazz musicians explored the nuances
of this amazing composition in their world. Hebb himself,
in 2001, has performed the title with the Kubato Power
Jazz Unit and Michael Shea Trio, the latter band featuring
Thomas Hebb, Bobby's nephew, on bass. Noted author James
Isaacs, whose liner note essays appear in some of the
Sinatra boxed sets, provided a list of jazz musicians who
have covered Hebb's signature tune: guitarist Pat Martino,
singers Ernestine Anderson, Bill Henderson, Anita O'Day,
organist Joey DeFrancesco, drummer Don Houge, pianists Joe
Bonner and Hampton Hawes, trumpeter/flugelhornist Marvin
Stamm, alto saxophonist Sonny Criss, and guitarist Stanley
Jordan, among others.
Bobby Hebb's influence goes far beyond "Sunny." When he
joined Roy Acuff's Smokey Mountain Boys around 1952 in
Nashville, he was one of the first African American
artists to perform on The Grand Ole Opry before Charley
Pride. Hebb moved to Chicago in 1954: "I wanted to play
some music, and I wanted to advance my career, I didn't
find the jazz I was looking for, but I ran into a lot of
blues...I worked with Bo Diddley, maybe on an early Ellis
McDaniels album." The song was "Diddly Diddly Diddly
Daddy" with the Moonglows and Little Walter, recorded at
Leonard Chess' studio in the back of his record shop on
Cottage Grove Ave, "Leonard was the engineer," Hebb noted
while telling this part of his rich history.
Hebb joined the navy in 1955, playing the trumpet: "I
learned West Coast jazz in the navy." The navy band was
the USS Pine Island Pirates and they played "the whole
time we were on board," including Hong Kong, performing
for Madame Chiang Kai-shek (Sooong Mel-llng) at an event.
The band got to meet Chiang Kai-shek as well.
Around 1958 Bobby Hebb tracked "Night Train to Memphis," a
song written by Owen Bradley for Roy Acuff's Smokey
Mountain Boys. The tune was re-released in 1998 on a
Warner Bros. box set, From Where I Stand, which also
included "A Satisfied Mind" from the 1966 Sunny album.
After that Hebb worked with Dr. John and left Nashville
for New York. Disc jockey John "R" Richbourg, owner of
Rich Records, which had released "Night Train to Memphis,"
got Hebb a gig at Sylvia Robinson's Blue Morocco Club. "I
went for two weeks and stayed two years. The first two
weeks I opened up with a Bobby Blue Bland song "Farther on
Up the Road." The band playing behind me was Jimmy Castor,
later on Bernard Purdie had just come to New York from
Baltimore with Jewel Page." Hebb eventually replaced
Mickey in Sylvia Robinson's group Mickey & Sylvia, who
originally hit with "Love Is Strange." The duo became
Bobby & Sylvia after Mickey left for Paris.
After Bobby & Sylvia, Hebb was represented by Buster
Newman, the man who "got "Sunny" happening in a lot of
different ways." All the publishers they went to turned
the song down! Newman's partner was Lloyd Greenfield, who
managed Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck, adding to his
roster Bobby Hebb. While other groups in 1966 like Remains
and the Ronnie Spector-less Ronettes opened for the
Beatles, Bobby Hebb was headlining the tour with the
Beatles, a fact that seems to have gotten lost in the
overwhelming history of the Fab Four. After this, Hebb met
comedian/composer Sandy Baron and the two got busy writing
a Broadway show that never made it to Broadway. However,
two of the songs -- "A Natural Man" and a tune they were
writing about Marvin Gaye, "His Song Shall Be Sung" --
were picked up by Lou Rawls and released on MGM. "A
Natural Man" the pair had actually rejected from their
Broadway play. The original title of the song was "Natural
Resource," but they doctored it up and gave it a different
groove after Sandy Baron got Rawls interested in what
became a huge hit for him. In 2001, the song will be the
title track of a best-of Universal released on Lou Rawls.
Sadly, Baron passed away in 2001, the year that saw the
release of Roof Music's 16-track compilation of artists
covering "Sunny," and interest in Europe for the song and
the man who wrote and sang the definitive version. On July
28, 2001, two days after Hebb's 63rd birthday, this writer
phoned Bernard Purdie at The House of Blues in Cambridge,
MA, where Pretty Purdie was performing that night with
Masters of Groove and for the first time in over three
decades, Bobby Hebb and Bernard Purdie spoke on the phone
and got to see each other at the show that evening. Bobby
Hebb performed in June of 2001 at the opening of the
Martini & Rossi 100 Years photo exhibit in Boston, shortly
after graduating mini-med school.
