This song never made any sense to me until I heard Nina Simone sing it. You can find it on of the "Best of the Colpix Years" CD's. The "rock" version. (by the Animal's?) is covered by a man and it's a song that should be covered by a woman.

Her voice is horrible!!! songs like Limberger Lover, Rats in My Room, Hep Cat, Yo Ho the Crow and Indian Love Call as well as others just send shivers up my spine. It touts her as "The World's Most Horrible Singer" The liner notes are hilarious too: "....Its been said that there is an art to being consistantly bad, and if so, this is a collection of a true artist who's tops in her field. This is Leona Anderson at her worst.....which is actually her best....." It looks to be from the late 50's, so it probably pre dates Mrs Miller.

But he was also an influential choral director and promoter of spirituals. By ELAINE WOO, LA Times Staff Writer Jester Hairston ran naked yelling 'Bwana, bwana!" through more Tarzan movies than he cared to remember. He had to lose his Boston accent to win long-running roles on the radio and television versions of "Amos 'n' Andy," a classic show eventually run off the air because of objections over its demeaning depictions of blacks. Later he played the wisecracking Rolly Forbes on the 1980s sitcom "Amen." But the veteran actor, who died Tuesday in Los Angeles at 98, never made apologies for portraying racial stereotypes during his career, which embodied the black actor's struggle in Hollywood. "We had a hard time then fighting for dignity," he once said of his early roles. " . . . We had no power. We had to take it, and because we took it the young people today have opportunities." Hairston was equally adamant about the need to preserve Negro spirituals, the focus of his other career. He was a sought-after choral director for half a century who organized Hollywood's first integrated choir and composed or arranged more than 300 spirituals. He was best known for his arrangement of "Amen," which he dubbed for Sidney Poitier in the 1963 film "Lilies of the Field." Continuing to conduct choirs in his 90s, he crisscrossed the world as a goodwill ambassador for the State Department. The grandson of a slave, Hairston was born in Belews Creek, N.C., in 1901 but moved north as a child to Pittsburgh, where generations of his family worked in steel mills. He escaped the mills through a scholarship from his Baptist church and enrolled in landscape design at Massachusetts Agricultural College (now the University of Massachusetts). He dropped out for several years when his money ran out, returning to school when he met a woman who was so impressed with his singing that she offered to finance his education in music. He wound up at Tufts University, graduating in 1929. Making his way to New York, he met Hall Johnson, a popular conductor of Negro spirituals whose choir was the most prominent black singing group of the 1930s. Hairston became his assistant. He came to California with the choir in 1935 and got his big break when the Russian-born conductor and composer Dmitri Tiomkin asked him to conduct the choir in the 1936 film "Lost Horizon," which won an Oscar for best score. That began a 20-year association with Tiomkin, who inspired him to form the first integrated choir used in films, including "Red River," "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" and "Land of the Pharaohs." It was Johnson who taught Hairston to respect the Negro spiritual. Having survived the elitist environment of the Boston area while attending Tufts, Hairston came to Johnson with a cockiness he felt he had earned. But Johnson initially rejected Hairston when he asked to become his assistant. "You don't have the right attitude toward these songs," Johnson told him. "We're singing ain't and cain't and you're singing shahn't and cahn't and they don't mix in a spiritual." Hairston got rid of his cahn'ts and shahn'ts. Remembering the stories and songs of his grandmother, he dedicated himself not just to preserving the music of the slaves but also to memorializing the conditions that gave birth to it. During college workshops, he would tell students, "You can't sing legato when the master's beatin' you across your back." When Hairston wasn't arranging music, he had to find other work. He won small parts in movies, playing African natives in Tarzan films and butlers in others. During casting for "Tarzan's Hidden Jungle," a 1955 release, the director handed the diminutive Hairston, who had played screaming savages in previous movies, a meatier role: witch doctor. Hairston recalled his bemused reaction years later: "Good gracious, I've been promoted!" To get radio work, Hairston said, "[I] had to lose my Boston accent and learn to say 'Yassuh.' " "If they wanted you to say 'Yassuh, boss,' then you said it," he recalled in an interview. "You didn't say what I was taught in Boston: 'Yes, sir.' If I had said 'Yes, sir,' I would never have made it." His Bostonian inflections came in handy when he was cast as Henry Van Porter, "the society man from black society" who ridiculed Amos and Andy. He also played the less polished Leroy, Kingfish's brother-in-law. In 1986 he landed the role of Rolly in the NBC sitcom "Amen." He appeared in such films as films "In the Heat of the Night," "Lady Sings the Blues" and "To Kill a Mockingbird." Hairston is survived by his daughter, Jeane-Marie Swann of Los Angeles, three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at Holman Methodist Church, 3320 W. Adams Blvd., Los Angeles. http://www.coloredreflections.com/90/JesterHairstonPer.htm http://sag.com/fundmembers6.html http://allmovie.com/cg/x.dll?UID=4:13:16|PM&p=avg&sql=B93094 http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?UID=4:13:56|PM&p=amg&sql=B320934 http://www.ntimemusic.com/folios/negro_spirituals.htm # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 16:52:05 EST From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Heads Up Europe!

Surprisingly, the first time TNT showed it, the mammal signifiers were present in full force. They must have exploited the National Geographic loophole. Never mind that some of the "natives" were blonde and rather California looking (age-old movie tradition). No guarantee for this showing, of course. Maybe Ted's computers have finally had the time to draw perky halters on everyone. >And if you missed X!

Not to mention Don Rickles in a totally straight heavy role. >AMC is rockin lately, giving TCM some stiff competition. Indeed. Other than the Edward L. Cahn retrospective on Tuesday mornings, TCM seems to be taking a breather.

Remember when years ago someone complained about the unconvenience of this list handling the reply-to-address? In fact everytime you answer an exotica mail you have to replace the senders email address with the address of the exotica list. I don't know how many times I had to send my postings twice after unvoluntarily addressing it to the sender instead of to the list... Now: it doesn't have to be that way: Just check the Pop Nouveau List: When you reply to a posting, it automatically gives you the correct reply-to-address of the mailing list in your mail's header instead of the sender's. So why is it not possible here at majordomo? Another solution of the problem I found in an e-mail-program called The Bat: It offers the widest range of self-defined prefs I ever saw in an email-program. First you open a folder where all messages of the exotica list are automatically collected; netscape has this feature too, BUT: You can set all kinds of prefs for each of the folders, f.i. the reply-to-address. It defines that all messages that you reply to from this folder are automatically addressed to a pre-selected address. Unfortunately The Bat only seems to be available for PCs...

Thx for the tipoff, m.ace. >Mimi Mimi: this is NOT a Y2K problem; it's a security certificate expiration problem (which affects both PCs and Macs running previous versions of I.E.). There will be no upgrade for the Mac version of 4.0 by Microsoft, so you'll have to download 4.5 anyway. Once you do that, there is an updater available on the same MS site to change the certificates embedded in 4.5 so that they are well beyond the date of Dec. 31, 1999. Email me for help once you download and run the updater for 4.5 if you still get the same expired certificates; you may have to do one other step (I did) to get the new certificates to appear in the Preferences window. It's simple to fix, then you can do all the e-commerce you like!!

Cleve" Subject: (exotica) Hi-Fidelity Lounge For those of you interested in some newer sounds of downtempo (referred to as "lounge" in the electronic music world), this is one to check out: VA: Hi-Fidelity Lounge: Volume One (Guidance Records) Triple vinyl version."The first installation in a compilation series exploring the diverse spectrum of sounds emerging from the bars, restaurants and lounges of our planet's urban centers. The subterranean selections on this album are a reflection of the eclectic and open minded musical program that has transformed these venues into a vital and welcome alternative to the corporate club experience. Downbeat masters Jazzanova, Rainer Truby, Paul Hunter, Thievery Corporation, The Bobby Hughes Experience, The Mighty Bop, and more serve up a tantalizing blend of trip hop, jazz, funk, soul, swing, and bossa nova custom made for chillin' at your local cocktail lounge, swingin' home pad, or groovin' on the dancefloor." This is also available on CD. Guidance is a well respected label out of Chicago; many electronic music stores feature it in it's own section. Sorry, I don't have a catalog number for this at my fignertips. br cleve # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2000 13:28:21 PST From: "jonathan richardson" Subject: Re: (exotica) Hi-Fidelity Lounge Br Cleve said: >For those of you interested in some newer sounds of downtempo (referred to >as "lounge" in the electronic music world), this is one to check out: > >VA: Hi-Fidelity Lounge: Volume One (Guidance Records) >Triple vinyl version."....... sounds neat.

This from the Melbourne Herald-Sun newspaper Thursday 20th Jan Aussies turn tables on dusty foreign vinyl ONE of Australia's largest record collections is for sale as the government dumps Bing Crosby to make way for Johnny O'Keefe. Over 75,000 vinyl albums and 45s are available as the old National Film and Sound Archives =8B now ScreenSound Australia=8B use the proceeds to complet= e its Australian collection. Collection development manager Graham Evans said ScreenSound aimed to build a collection Of all-Australian recordings over the next few years. "But we are in competition with private collectors and prices can be extremely high," he said. Bargain-hunters can choose from Billy Joel's Piano Man, Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps, or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Song of Glory with the Foggy Mountain Boys could be yours for as little as $4 while Jim Reeves, Hank Snow and Waylon Jennings are all there for under $10. An obscure offering is a ffve-album set by Burt Bacharach offering advice to young men on anything from cooking to how long their sleeves should be. Strictly For Men should be within the $5 range at the February 5th sale= . See you there OK?

I have 10 MP3 files on Page 4 of my WW Discography (see URL below) that I made myself from my store bought CDs. I tried to pick the best cuts possible that would feature Walter's playing. I definitely would not classify this music as "weird", though, since I am a huge fan of his--so it might not be to your own personal taste. Check them out and see for yourself.

It is rather awful. Sounds like he has a rock lodged in his throat. Or maybe just a bad cold. That and the fact that he doesn't seem to be on key much of the time. Thankfully, he only sings on one or two tracks per album. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lenkei Design www.lenkeidesign.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2000 17:57:13 -0600 From: "Darrell Brogdon" Subject: (exotica) Retro Cocktail Hour This week's Retro Cocktail Hour webcast features tracks from the lost Esquivel masterpiece, "See It In Sound". In addition, listeners to our live stream can take part in an on-air giveaway (we'll be giving away free copies of "See It In Sound" during the first hour, in cooperation with 7N Music). The RealAudio stream is only about :05 behind our live air signal, and we usually go for high numbers of phone calls during giveaways, so even Web listeners should have a fair shot at a free copy of "See It In Sound"! Elsewhere on the show, there's swinging Europop by Horst Jankowski and Maurice Pop, crime jazz Italian-style from Armando Trovaioli and Piero Piccioni--along with some domestic efforts by Lalo Schifrin and Kenyon Hopkins--plus tunes by Richard Hayman ("Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine"), Les Baxter, Balanco, Yma Sumac and others. To hear The Retro Cocktail Hour on the Web, go here for the live stream (7:00pm Saturday, Central time): http://kanu.ukans.edu/realaudio/index.htm Or look for the show in our program archive (sorry, no CD giveaways here) shortly after the live show: http://kanu.ukans.edu/retro.html Requires minimim 28.8 connection and RealPlayer.

On the 1900s-style Main Streets of these parks you'll often find the Main Street Pianist, still performing ragtime music today, just as the turn of the century.
