│release notes.
b. 24th May 1945, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.
Terry Callier hails from Chicago, Illinois.
He was a childhood friend of Curtis Mayfield's.
Terry grew up singing on the streets as a member of several
competing doo-wop groups.
He was first recorded by Chess Records in 1963, releasing the
single 'Look At Me Now'.
Recorded in 1965, his debut album for Prestige was delayed for
almost four years when the producer went AWOL.
Eventually released in 1968, the album showcased a blossoming
talent.
Terry never received the wider acclaim that ought to have been,
however, there followed a series of excellent albums for Cadet and
Elektra in the 70's.
Many of these albums have been, subsequently, re-released at the
turn of the millennium.
In amongst these pieces of excellence is the 1978 album 'Fire On
Ice', including the excellent 'African Violet'. A soul masterpiece.
'Turn You To Love' followed a year later and that contained a
re-working of 'Ordinary Joe', 'Sign Of The Times' and the, quite
excellent, 'Pyramids Of Love'.
He retired from music in 1983 to become a computer programmer at
the University Of Chicago.
In the early 90's, English acid jazz DJs Gilles Peterson and Russ
Dewbury revived dancefloor interest in Callier's music, echoing his
earlier popularity on the 70's Northern Soul scene.
Drawn back to performing in Europe, Terry recorded his first album
of new material in over 20 years for the London based Talkin' Loud
label.
The resulting 'Time Peace' gained strong reviews and became a
success on the U.K. soul scene.
Terry had collaborated with Orton the previous year on her 'Best
Bits' EP.
His follow up album 'Lifeline', released in 1999, was less well
received by the music industry but was regarded very highly by soul
punters.
By 2001, all of Calliers' back catalogue became available on CD.
In 2002, Terry's vocals graced an album by Swedish group Koop on
the track 'In A Heartbeat' and an album followed the same year
entitled 'Speak Your Peace' on Mr Bongo Records.
Terry collaborated with Bluey from Incognito of a couple of tracks.
Terry Callier has achieved 'cult' status in the U.K. amongst soul
followers and rightly so.
