"Jako dítě jsem se rozhodl, že pokud naše společnost diktuje, že člověk musí být černý nebo bílý, budu černý,“ prohlásil Johnny Otis - významná postava losangelské rhythm’n’bluesové scény. Byl bezesporu nadaný. Rozsahem zájmů a širokým uměleckým záběrem šlo o renesančního člověka.

Ve stejném roce, kdy The Coasters uspěli s písní o neznámé dívce přezdívané Poison Ivy, tak svoji verzi nahrál i Johnny Otis. Podle textaře Jerryho Leibera je "Poison Ivy prostě a jednoduše metaforou pro sifla."

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.

For the music nerds in the house: I would be remiss if I did not point out that "World's Greatest Sinner" has an early soundtrack by Frank Zappa. He said this was the world's worst movie, but was willing to put his name on his work (unlike Edgar G. Ulmer who worked on the cinematography under a pseudonym).

In the still from the original post here, the band in the background is the Johnny Otis show (name can be seen on the drum set).
