Chanteuse US née Delores Willams, le 11 Novembre 1929 à Chicago (Illinois). LaVern Baker a débuté dès l'age de 17 ans dans les Night Clubs de sa ville natale. Engagée par Columbia où elle enregistre du Jazz, LaVern Baker passe ensuite chez King Records comme chanteuse de l'orchestre de Todd Rhodes. Elle y enregistre 4 singles en 1952. Puis en 53, elle signe chez Atlantic et reçoit le surnom de "Contesse". LaVern Baker y enregistrera ses principaux succès avant de disparaître dans l'obscurité vers 1968. Lavern a aussi enregistré chez Brunswick et est apparue dans le film: "Rock Rock Rock". Elle est décédée au St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital de New York, le 10 Mars 1997, une grande voix du Ryhthm 'n' Blues s'est éteinte.
LaVern Baker
was one of the sexiest divas gracing the mid-'50s rock & roll circuit, boasting
a brashly seductive Vocals delivery tailor-made for belting the catchy novelties
"Tweedlee Dee," "Bop-Ting-a-Ling," and "Tra La La" for Atlantic Records during
rock's first wave of prominence.
Born Delores Williams, she was singing at the Club DeLisa on Chicago's south
side at age 17, decked out in raggedy attire and billed as "Little Miss
Sharecropper" (the same handle that she made her recording debut under for RCA
Victor with Eddie "Sugarman" Penigar's band in 1949). She changed her name
briefly to Bea Baker when recording for Okeh in 1951 with Maurice King's
Wolverines, then settled on the first name of LaVern when she joined Todd
Rhodes' band as featured vocalist in 1952 (she fronted Rhodes' aggregation on
the impassioned ballad "Trying" for Cincinnati's King Records).
LaVern signed with Atlantic as a solo in 1953, debuting with the incendiary
"Soul on Fire." The coy, Latin-tempo "Tweedlee Dee" was a smash in 1955 on both
the R&B and pop charts, although her impact on the latter was blunted when
squeaky-clean Georgia Gibbs covered it
for Mercury. An infuriated Baker filed suit over the whitewashing, but she lost.
By that time, though, her star had ascended: Baker's "Bop-Ting-A-Ling," "Play It
Fair," "Still," and the rocking "Jim Dandy" all vaulted into the R&B Top Ten
over the next couple of years.
Baker's statuesque figure and charismatic persona made her a natural for TV and
movies. She co-starred on the historic R&B revue segment on Ed Sullivan's TV
program in November of 1955 and did memorable numbers in Alan Freed's rock
movies Rock, Rock, Rock and Mr. Rock & Roll. Her Atlantic records
remained popular throughout the decade: she hit big in 1958 with the ballad "I
Cried a Tear," adopted a pseudo-sanctified bellow for the rousing Leiber &
Stoller-penned gospel sendup "Saved" in 1960, and cut a Bessie Smith tribute
album before leaving Atlantic in 1964. A brief stop at Brunswick Records (where
she did a sassy duo with Jackie Wilson, "Think Twice") preceded a late-'60s
jaunt to entertain the troops in Vietnam. She became seriously ill after the
trip and was hospitalized, eventually settling far out of the limelight in the
Philippines. She remained there for 22 years, running an NCO club on Subic Bay
for the U.S. government.
Finally, in 1988, Baker returned stateside to star in Atlantic's 40th
anniversary bash at New York's Madison Square Garden. That led to a soundtrack
appearance in the film Dick Tracy, a starring role in the Broadway
musical Black & Blue (replacing her ex-Atlantic labelmate
Ruth Brown), a nice comeback disc for DRG
(Woke Up This Mornin'), and a memorable appearance at the Chicago Blues
Festival. Baker died on March 10, 1997.
