Little Esther !



Hey Hey Hey !Welcome Back y’all !
One more time all together : ‘happy new year, best wishes, etc…..’ (thanks a bunch for your emails by the way)

Ok let’s start 2006 on the good foot shall we?

Esther Phillips (or Little Esther as she was known as then) recorded her first work with Johnny Otis in 1949 at the grand age of 13 years old (she was already part of his band), then in 1950 became the youngest R&B singer to have a #1 US R&B hit ("Double Crossing Blues").
The following year yielded six more Top Ten R&B hits, although from 1952 success dried up with Phillips then moving on from Johnny Otis and Savoy to new label Lenox.
Taking the name Esther Phillips in 1962 (scoring her first hit in ten years with "Release Me"), she had a brief comeback with a few recordings and appearances here and there, but that’s another story folks !

One of my favorite songs ever has to be Esther Phillips' version of "Cherry Red".

Thanks for a great post.

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
