  1. Bobby Hendricks of The Drifters

    26/08/2021

    Bobby Hendricks of The Drifters

    Among aficionados of classic R&B, the legendary Drifters vocal group is divided into two factions -- the "old Drifters" and the "new Drifters." The "old" group is the one that was founded by Clyde McPhatter in 1953 and, with many personnel changes, ran until 1958 with tremendous success. In the spring of that year, the group's manager, George Treadwell, fired the entire group, and, because he held exclusive rights to the name, he hired a group called the Crowns and rechristened them with the Drifters name. This group, also with many personnel changes over the years, is the aggregation that fans refer to as the "new Drifters." They enjoyed a string of R&B and pop hits stretching into the mid '60s.   Of the "old" (pre summer of 1958) group, there is only one survivor -- Bobby Hendricks. I had the chance to interview Bobby in June of 2013. Being a huge Drifters fan (particularly the "old" group), it was a real thrill for me to chat with him. Other topics we discussed were his early influences, his pre-Drifters musical endeavors and his success as a solo artist. I'm happy to share my talk with Bobby Hendricks on this latest edition of Trick Bag! Your host, Neil the Night Howler ----- Songs:  Drifters - Drip Drop Drifters - Moonlight Bay Drifters - Suddenly There's a Valley Flyers - My Only Desire Settlers (Drifters) - Sugar Plum (rare recently discovered recording) Settlers (Drifters) - Come Home (rare recently discovered recording) Bobby Hendricks - Dreamy Eyes Bobby Hendricks - Itchy Twitchy Feeling Bobby Hendricks - I Want That Bobby Hendricks - Psycho Bobby Hendricks - Honey Drip Bobby Hendricks - Good Lovin' Bobby Hendricks - Let's Get It Over Bill Pinkney & the Originals - The Masquerade Is Over Bobby Hendricks - Go On Home Girl Bobby Hendricks - A Thousand Dreams Hosted on Acast.

    A Capella

    It's an all a cappella showcase on this installment of Trick Bag. Vocal groups were a hot commodity in the '50s and '60s, but it wasn't common for record labels to release recordings without instrumental backing. Fortunately, many a cappella tracks were recorded and preserved. I've picked out some real gems to share with you on this episode.   Your Host, Neil the Night Howler Trick Bag is presented by Osiris Media.

    12 - Bobby Mitchell (Part 1)

    Try Rock and Roll - A Rare Interview with Bobby Mitchell (Part 1)  In this episode, Neil the Night Howler shares an extremely rare interview with New Orleans R&B man Bobby Mitchell. Bobby's recording career started in 1953 and spanned only a decade, but in that short time, he undoubtedly left his mark. The recordings he made are beloved in New Orleans. He enjoyed many regional successes and found national fame with 1956's "Try Rock and Roll." His original rendition of "I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday" landed him a spot on American Bandstand in 1958. By the mid '60s, Bobby's career was in decline. He retired from music, went to college and soon found success as an X-ray pathologist. Bobby Mitchell passed away on March 17, 1989 at the age of 53.   New Orleans music historian Rick Coleman recorded an interview with Bobby in the early '80s. Rick was gracious enough to share this very rare interview with Neil for use on this program. In Part One of this two-part series, Bobby will take us from his upbringing in the Algiers section of New Orleans to the height of his success as a record star in the mid '50s when he encouraged America to "Try Rock and Roll!"   Trick Bag is presented by Osiris Media.

    011 - Mary Jane Hooper

    This installment of Trick Bag presents a special showcase of New Orleans soulstress Mary Jane Hooper. After releasing only a handful of singles between 1968 and 1970, this brilliantly talented vocalist (whose real name is Sena Fletcher) faded into obscurity. Her music has since garnered a dedicated following among R&B/soul collectors and much speculation has arisen about her recent whereabouts. A CD containing the material from her 45-RPMs and seven previously unreleased recordings -- all cut for New Orleans crawfish king Al Scramuzza's various record labels -- hit the market in 1997, helping to quench the lust for rare gems in the hearts of soul music devotees worldwide. This episode features a very rare 2016 interview I conducted with Mary Jane, which originally aired on my radio program on WWOZ in New Orleans. Also featured here are samples of never-before-heard recordings from Sena's personal collection! And, of course, we'll hear her classic sides as well. Trick Bag is presented by Osiris Media. Hosted and Produced by Neil Pellegrin. Produced by Kirsten Cluthe. Edited by Matt Dwyer and Justin Thomas (Revoice Media).
