Billy Bland: Let The Little Girl Dance (CD)

(Ace Records) 29 tracks

Billy, ein großer, fröhlicher und freundlicher Mann, betreibt heute ein Soul-Food-Restaurant in Harlem, in dem viele seiner Old Town-Singles in der Jukebox laufen. Als an einem Sommerabend im Jahr 1989 eine Gruppe englischer R&B-Fans in das Restaurant kam, erzählte er gerne von seiner 35-jährigen Karriere im Musikgeschäft und von den Tagen, als er ein Star war, mit allen großen Namen des Rhythm & Blues auf Tournee ging und im Apollo Theatre und anderswo auftrat. Während er sprach, untermalte er seine Erinnerungen mit musikalischen Illustrationen aus der Jukebox. Diese Aufnahmen, die auf dieser CD versammelt sind, stellen Billy Blands musikalisches Vermächtnis dar. ...(Tony Collins 1992)

Die alternative Aufnahme von 'Let The Little Girl Dance' wird auf dieser CD zum ersten Mal überhaupt veröffentlicht.

Let The Little Girl Dance

This was the golden era of the New York indie record scene. In the days before it was overtaken by accountants and MBAs, the business was full of Runyonesque characters, like Hymie Weiss, the owner of Old Town Records. "I was the payola king of New York," Weiss proudly boasted later. "Payola was the greatest thing in the world. You didn't have to go out to dinner with someone and kiss their ass. Just pay them, here's the money, play the record, fuck you." One beneficiary of Weiss’ largesse (to the dee-jays… if not to him) was Billy Bland.

Born April 5, 1932, in Wilmington, North Carolina, Bland was the youngest of 19 children. He reported to Wayne Jancik that he made a record of Mairzy Doats back home before moving to New York in 1947. A protégé of Jubilee Records’ star Edna McGriff, he landed gigs with Lionel Hampton and Buddy Johnson (which probably meant he was on the same bill as Hamp and Johnson). Bland started his own group, the Four Bees, and, in 1954, they were brought to New Orleans by Fats Domino’s producer, Dave Bartholomew, who gave him a song he’d written, Toy Bell, that later, of course, became My Ding-A-Ling.

Bland signed with Old Town in 1955 and songs like Chicken Hop did well enough regionally for Weiss to keep the faith. Bland’s big hit Let The Little Girl Dance, was recorded in late 1959 and became a hit the following year. He told John Broven that he went to the studio to do a session for the song’s writer, Henry Glover, and Titus Turner was there singing Let The Little Girl Dance. Bland showed Turner how to phrase it, and Glover preferred Bland’s version because it sounded like Clyde McPhatter. The Miller Sisters, who sang backup on Turner’s We Told You Not To Marry, also sang backup here. The band included Buddy Lucas on sax, Mickey Baker on guitar, Bland’s guitarist Tommy Ace on bass, and Rod Porter on drums. Bland eventually retired from performing in the 1970s, and was last seen running a soul food restaurant in Harlem.
