On The Music Scene June 2014 issue

R.I.P. Don Davis Born on October 25th in Detroit, he started playing music in the mid-1950s and after leaving Central High School formed his own jazz group, the Don Davis Trio, before becoming a session musician. He played guitar for many Detroit record labels, including Golden World, Ric-Tic, Thelma, Revilot as well as on Motown early 1960s records for Artistes Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Barrett Strong, “Money That’s What I Want” Motowns first Million seller, Mary Wells,(Bye Bye Baby) & Marv Johnson. He played on the Capitols hit “Cool Jerk” moonlighting with

Bobby Babbit and got $10 He left Motown in 1965.

Davis moved on to writing and producing records in Detroit setting up his own record production and music publishing company, called Groovesville, in 1966 which were still operating in the 70s, which had Artiste like Al Gardner, Steve Mancha, , Melvin Davis “I Must Love You” J.J. Barnes, “Baby Please Come Home” “Chains Of Love” “ Forgive Me” “Now That I Got You Back” which have become all top Northern soul toones.

He was then asked to join Stax Records by Al Bell in Memphis, aiming to achieve a fusion of the Stax funkier southern soul and Motown sound. He achieved his first major success as a producer in1968 with Johnnie Taylor’s hit "Who's Making Love", which reached no.1 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. Davis also played guitar on the track, together with Steve Cropper with writer Homer Banks singing backing vocals. He worked with Taylor on many of his hits including “Love Bones” “ I Wanna Testify” “Take Care Of Your Homework”and “Steal Away”all were about love relationships and were to become Taylor’s In Silk Album. Later, 1971 he produced Tayor’s #1R&B chart hit "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone", which Davis co-wrote, and got his friends the Dramatics singing the chorus. he provided the female backing singers and his two friends Johnny Allen & Dale Warren who dubbed the backing vocals on the Issac Hayes album, Hot Buttered Soul and Latter he recorded Cafe Regio’s on the Issac Hayes Shaft Album and the same female backing singers were used.

In 1971 he bought one of Detroit’s premier recording studios United Studios on Second Avenue 5840 Antoinette Detroit, which had seen many a talented artiste through its doors artiste include John Lee Hooker, Jackie Wilson Aretha Franklin, George Clinton, David Ruffin The Dells, Carla Thomas, (Marv’s Johnsons “Come To me” was recorded here for Berry Gordy’s Motown label and later Gordy bought a similar building to form his own Hitsville because of the cellars). he carried on recording for Stax from this studio saving him going to Memphis, and brought the Dramatic who he’d met at Golden World Studio and teamed them up with song writer Tony Hestor hits soon followed “What You See Is What You Get” and #1single “In The Rain” in 1972 .

When Stax folded in 1975 he moved to CBS Johnny Taylor followed him, straight away he had a hit which he produced & co-wrote Disco Lady" 1976, it spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The first 45single to be certified platinum by the RIAA Bootys Collins played the horn and Bob Worrell keyboards both from funkadelic arrangement were done by old Motown arranger David Van Depitte. Backing singers were Brandy and Thelma Hopkins ex Dawn (Tie a yellow ribbon)

In 1975, Davis started and headed the RCA-distributed Detroit-based record label, Tortoise International which included artists, First Fire, The Rockets, the 1978 comeback album by The Skyliners, as well as the 1978 Dan Schafer version of the 1960s re-make "Baby, Now That I've Found You" In 1977, Davis produced the Billy Davis, Jr. and Marilyn McCoo hit, “You Don't Have to Be a Star”

Davis also established himself as a banker, founding the First Independence Bank, the only African-American-owned and operated commercial bank in Michigan in 1970. He concentrated on his banking concern in later years, but continued to operate his music interests as well. his last work in the studio was recording the song“Girl” for Destiny Child album Destiny Fulfilled.

He lived in West Bloomfield Township, north of Detroit, and died after a short illness on June 11th 2014, aged 75. He is survived by a wife and three children.

Featured Soul Artistes Bill WithersBill Withers was born July 4, 1938 the youngest of 6 children in the small coal-mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia. Raised in nearby Beckley, West Virginia,with his grandmother and dad, he was thirteen years old when his father died. Withers suffered from a stammer and talk very little, through embarrassment. Bill was a good observer and listener, and wrote things down, the way he felt, this led him into writing songs and when he sang them he, used his stutter as a natural Rhythm to his song as in Ain’t No Sunshine , the Chorus I know,I Know I Know is repeated for 13times, and this became his style, as in Lovely Day. Withers enlisted with the United States Navy at the age of eighteen and served for nine years, this was his ticket out of the Mining town. during this time his singing and writing songs. became more of a distraction from serving in Guam. Later discharged from the Navy in 1965, he relocated to Los Angeles in 1967 for a musical career.with a load of well reherst written songs more or less from his life observations,

Withers worked as an assembler for several different companies, including Douglas Aircraft Corporation, were he installed the toilets while recording demo tapes with his own money, shopping them around and performing in clubs at night. During a American tv. talk show he sang his bebut song “Ain’t No Sunshine” then astounded the host Johnny Carson and other guests by telling them he had worked on the early shift that day at the Aircraft factory fitting the johns. He also refused to resign his job because of his belief that the music business was a fickle industry.

During early 1970, Withers' demonstration tape was auditioned by lots of record companies but all wanted to change the way the songs should sound and wanted a more r&b feel with brass sections and female backing singers and also his singing style. Bill said no he wanted a more folk soul contempory thing, with just a guitar and said I’ll stay as I Am. Later Clarence Avant, owner of newly Sussex Records.Studios signed Withers to a record deal and assigned former Stax Records stalwart, Keyboard player Booker T. Jones to produce Withers' first album. Four three-hour studio sessions were planned to record the album, but funding caused the album to be recorded in three sessions with a six-month break between the second and final sessions. Just as I Am was released in 1971 with the tracks, "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Grandma's Hands" as singles. The album features Stephen Stills playing lead guitar on the Title track. Other good tracks included Harlem, & Sweet Wanomi.

The album was a success and Withers began touring with a band assembled from members of The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band: who had small success themselves with “ Respect Yourselves”drummer James Gadson, guitarist Benorce Blackmon, keyboardist Ray Jackson, and bassist Melvin Dunlap. March 14, 1972, Withers won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song for "Ain't No Sunshine." A platinum disc

After touring, Withers recorded his second album, Still Bill. The single, "Lean on Me" went to #1 on the week of July 8, 1972. his' second gold single with sales in excess of three million. His follow-up, "Use Me" released in August 1972, became his third million seller, with the R.I.A.A. gold disc award taking place on October 12, 1972. Other good tracks were, Lonely Town Lonely Street , Who He And What Is He To You, Kissing My Love , this album is a more funky sound, both these albums didn’t chart in England. Yet are a must for soul fans.

His performance at Carnegie Hall on October 6, 1972, was recorded, and released as the live album Bill Withers, Live at Carnegie Hall on November 30, 1972. In 1974, Withers recorded the album +'Justments. Due to a legal dispute with the Sussex company. He was unable to release any songs of himself. Yet during this time, he wrote and produced two songs on the Gladys Knight & the Pips record I Feel a Song, and in October 1974 performed in concert together with James Brown, Etta James, and B. B. King four weeks prior to the historic Rumble in the Jungle fight between Foreman and Ali in Zaire. Footage of his performance was included in the 1996 documentary film When We Were Kings,

In 1975 he signed to Columbia Records and recorded 5 albums most notably Menagerie which had the big hit single Lovely Day. In 1977 He also recorded a hit single, Just The Two Of Us a duet with Grover Washington in 1981 On Elektra 47103. Bill is always happy doing what he wants and is not a fame seeker. Withers released his

last album, Watching You, Watching Me, in 1985. By then, he had grown disenchanted with the music industry and built his own sound studio and lock himself away.He is now producing his daughter, who like her dad likes writing, and singing her own songs compositions.

Atlantic Records Part 11 The rock years Over the course of the 1970s, Atlantic - until then regarded as the pre-eminent American R&B/soul label - rapidly reinvented itself as a major force on the burgeoning rock music scene and, thanks to a string of lucrative signings, the Atlantic roster soon boasted some of the most popular and successful rock acts in the world. Ahmet Ertegun unquestionably led this change, but much credit should also be accorded to label executive Jerry L. Greenberg and A&R manager John Kalodner, both of whom came to prominence at Atlantic in this period.

It is notable that many of the biggest rock acts on the Atlantic roster in this period were British (including Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Yes, Bad Company and Phil Collins) and this was largely due to the influence of Ahmet Ertegun. According to Greenberg, Ertegun had long seen the UK as a prime source of untapped musical talent and at his urging, Greenberg was soon visiting the UK six or seven times each year in search of new signings.

For much of its early history, Jerry Wexler had effectively been the "day-to-day" manager of the label,while Ertegun had concentrated in A&R and had shown comparatively less interest in the business side of the operation - but that changed rapidly after the sale to Warner. Although Ertegun had been forced into accepting the sale, he adroitly turned the situation to his advantage - he quickly gained executive control of the label, and was also soon wielding considerable influence in the larger Warner group. By contrast, Wexler was disenchanted by Atlantic's move into "white rock"; during the early 1970s he gradually drifted away from the label, and he officially left the company in 1975. It was Wexler's protégé Jerry L. Greenberg who filled the breach left by his departure, and alongside Ertegun, Greenberg played a major role in Atlantic 's success in the 1970s.

Greenberg's meteoric rise to prominence at Atlantic saw him go from personal assistant to label president in just seven years. As a teenager, he drummed for his own group, Jerry Green and The Passengers, which recorded for several labels (including Atlantic) in the late 1950s, and by eighteen he had founded his own independent label. He began his professional career in the music industry in the early 1960s as a "plugger", promoting newly released records to radio stations. In 1967, on the strength of Greenberg's success in promoting Percy Sledge's hit "When a Man Loves a Woman", Wexler hired Greenberg as his personal assistant, and over the next few years he mentored Greenberg in recording, producing, finding songs, and the day-to-day tasks of running a label.

Greenberg: "When I came to work for Wexler one of the first assignments he gave me, was to find songs for Dusty Springfield for the Dusty in Memphis album. Jerry taught me the day-to-day aspects of the record business, which was finding songs, how to call disc jockeys, how to check sales, marketing ... all of that. When they sold the company (to Warner) Jerry went to Florida and started making records down there and that’s when I really became close with Ahmet. When Ahmet signed The Rolling Stones in 1971 he took me to France to meet Mick Jagger. That’s when I really became Ahmet’s protégé. I learned from Ahmet, first of all, about music and, secondly, how you treat artist and the whole creative system that goes with treating an artist. The Rolling Stones didn’t turn out a record every two years. They put one out when creatively they were ready to write songs. I was a musician and all of our artists recognized that and I think that is why I got along with them so well. I was never intimidated by Robert Plant or Belushi or the Bee Gees or the Eagles. I told them what I thought about the record. I told them if I thought they had a hit single or not. In case of a tie the artist won. It was that simple. Ahmet really taught me how to be a diplomat when it came to certain situations with artist and managers and it was an extremely wonderful relationship. It was almost like a father son relationship."

In 1969 Greenberg was appointed as General Manager of the label. In the early 1970s, with Wexler now spending most of his time in Miami, Greenberg began working closely with Ertegun, who recognised his ability and promoted him rapidly. By 1972 Greenberg held the dual titles of Vice President of Radio Promotion, and Vice President of Artists and Repertoire, and in 1974 Ertegun - by now Chairman of the company - appointed him President of Atlantic Records, making Greenberg, at just 32, the youngest-ever president of a major recording company.

Atlantic's rock acts had begun with Cream, now another British rock group were signed. In October 1968 music manager Peter Grant flew to New York to meet Ertegun and Wexler with tapes of the debut album by Led Zeppelin, On November 23 Atlantic issued a press release announced the signing of a five-year contract,with an advance of $200,000. Atlantic’s biggest payment yet, Zeppelin recorded for Atlantic Records from 1968 - 1973.
