Chanteur Rock 'n' Roll US né le 10
Septembre 1925 à New Orleans (Louisiane). Roy Brown, à la voix puissante et haut perchée, est l'un des grands précurseurs du Rock 'n' Roll. Il obtient en 1947 un succès considérable avec "Good Rockin' Tonight" qui sera repris par beaucoup de chanteurs et qui deviendra un classique du Rock 'n' Roll. Eliminé par les pionniers du Rock et négligé par les revivalistes. Roy Brown est mort
le 25 Mai 1981 à San Fernando (Californie).
When you draw
up a short list of the R&B pioneers who exerted a primary influence on the
development of rock & roll, respectfully place singer Roy Brown's name near its
very top. His seminal 1947 DeLuxe Records waxing of "Good Rockin' Tonight" was
immediately ridden to the peak of the R&B charts by shouter
Wynonie Harris and subsequently covered
by Elvis Presley,
Ricky Nelson,
Jerry Lee Lewis, and many more early
rock icons (even Pat Boone). In addition,
Brown's melismatical pleading, gospel-steeped delivery impacted the Vocals styles
of B.B. King, Bobby Bland, and Little
Richard (among a plethora of important singers). Clearly, Roy Brown was an
innovator — and from 1948-1951, an R&B star whose wild output directly presaged
rock's rise.
Born in the Crescent City, Brown grew up all over the place: Eunice, LA (where
he sang in church and worked in the sugarcane fields); Houston, TX; and finally
Los Angeles by age 17. Back then, Bing Crosby was Brown's favorite singer — but
a nine-month stint at a Shreveport, LA, nightclub exposed him to the blues for
the first time. He conjured up "Good Rockin' Tonight" while fronting a band in
Galveston, TX. Ironically, Harris wanted no part of the song when Brown first
tried to hand it to him. When pianist Cecil Gant heard Brown's knockout
rendition of the tune in New Orleans, he had Brown sing it over the phone to a
sleepy DeLuxe boss, Jules Braun, in the wee hours of the morning. Though Brown's
original waxing (with Bob Ogden's band in support) was a solid hit, Harris'
cover beat him out for top chart honors.
Roy Brown didn't have to wait long to dominate the R&B lists himself. He scored
15 hits from mid-1948 to late 1951 for DeLuxe, ranging from the emotionally
wracked crying blues of "Hard Luck Blues" (his biggest seller of all in 1950) to
the party-time rockers "Rockin' at Midnight," "Boogie at Midnight," "Miss Fanny
Brown," and "Cadillac Baby." Strangely, his sales slumped badly from 1952 on,
even though his frantic "Hurry Hurry Baby," "Ain't No Rockin' No More," "Black
Diamond," and "Gal From Kokomo" for Cincinnati's King Records rate among his
hottest house rockers.
Brown was unable to cash in on the rock & roll idiom he helped to invent, though
he briefly rejuvenated his commercial fortunes at Imperial Records in 1957.
Working with New Orleans producer Dave Bartholomew, then riding high with
Fats Domino, Brown returned to the charts
with the original version of "Let the Four Winds Blow" (later a hit for
Domino) and cut the sizzling sax-powered
rockers "Diddy-Y-Diddy-O," "Saturday Night," and "Ain't Gonna Do It." Not
everything was an artistic triumph; Brown's utterly lifeless cover of
Buddy Knox's "Party Doll" — amazingly, a
chart entry for Brown — may well be the worst thing he ever committed to wax (rivaled
only by a puerile "School Bell Rock" cut during a momentary return to King in
1959).
After a long dry spell, Brown's acclaimed performance as part of
Johnny Otis' troupe at the 1970 Monterey
Jazz Festival and a 1973 LP for ABC-BluesWay began to rebuild his long-lost
momentum. But it came too late; Brown died of a heart attack in 1981 at age 56,
his role as a crucial link between postwar R&B and rock's initial rise still
underappreciated by the masses.
