  1. Remembering Esther Phillips on the day she would have been 89-years old.

    I've written a lot about Esther, I have a soft spot for her singing and am fascinated by her life story.

    I have at least one more piece to write based on some history from #johnnyotis - It explains a great deal about why Esther made some of the choices she did.

    For today though, I want to remember a ballsy woman who once walked into Creed Taylors office with a baseball bat under her fur coat to demand her royalty check.

  9. Remembering Esther Phillips

    December 23rd marks the anniversary of Esther Phillips born day, Esther was born on this day in 1935. She'd have been 88-years old this year, but sadly died just 48-years old, in 1984. I was able to talk to Tim Hinkley earlier in 2023. Tim, a fellow ex-pat Brit' had some great memories of working with Esther on her 1973 "Black Eyed Blues" album, and well as much later in the

    Today I'm starting out with this #DavidMatthews and the Central Park Kids cover of Beatles songs. It's really very good, especially the cover of "Michelle" - I don't think Matthews got the recognition that he deserved, most people remember him for #EstherPhillips and #IdrisMuhammad - they don't know he arranged the band for Simon & Garfunkel's "Central Park Live", or James Brown, or Nina Simone's CTI epic.
