Chanteuse US née Ruth Alston Weston, le 12 Janvier 1928 à Portmouth (Virginie). Ruth Brown a débuté chez Atlantic en 1949. Surnommé "Miss Rhythm", elle s'imposera comme comédienne durant les années soixante. Elle est décédée le 17 Novembre 2006.
They
called Atlantic Records "the house that Ruth built" during the 1950s, and they
weren't referring to the Sultan of Swat. Ruth Brown's regal hitmaking reign from
1949 to the close of the '50s helped tremendously to establish the New York
label's predominance in the R&B field. Later, the business all but forgot her —
she was forced to toil as domestic help for a time — but she returned to the
top, her status as a postwar R&B pioneer (and tireless advocate for the rights
and royalties of her peers) recognized worldwide.
Young Ruth Weston was inspired initially by jazz chanteuses Sarah Vaughan,
Billie Holiday, and Dinah Washington. She ran away from her Portsmouth home in
1945 to hit the road with trumpeter Jimmy Brown, whom she soon married. A month
with bandleader Lucky Millinder's orchestra in 1947 ended abruptly in
Washington, D.C., when she was canned for delivering a round of drinks to
members of the band. Cab Calloway's sister Blanche gave Ruth a gig at her
Crystal Caverns nightclub and assumed a managerial role in the young singer's
life. DJ Willis Conover dug Brown's act and recommended her to Ahmet Ertegun and
Herb Abramson, bosses of a fledgling imprint named Atlantic. Unfortunately,
Brown's debut session for the firm was delayed by a nine-month hospital stay
caused by a serious auto accident en route to New York that badly injured her
leg. When she finally made it to her first date in May 1949, she made up for
lost time by waxing the torch ballad "So Long" (backed by guitarist Eddie
Condon's band), which proved to be her first hit.
Brown's seductive Vocals delivery shone incandescently on her Atlantic smashes "Teardrops
in My Eyes" (an R&B chart-topper for 11 weeks in 1950), "I'll Wait for You" and
"I Know" in 1951, 1952's "5-10-15 Hours" (another number one rocker), the
seminal "(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean" in 1953, and a tender Chuck
Willis-penned "Oh What a Dream," and the timely "Mambo Baby" the next year.
Along the way, Frankie Laine tagged her
"Miss Rhythm" during an engagement in Philly. Brown belted a series of her hits
on the groundbreaking TV program Showtime at the Apollo in 1955,
exhibiting delicious comic timing while trading sly one-liners with MC Willie
Bryant (ironically, ex-husband Jimmy Brown was a member of the show's house
band).
After an even two-dozen R&B chart appearances for Atlantic that ended in 1960
with "Don't Deceive Me" (many of them featuring hell-raising tenor sax solos by
Willis "Gator" Jackson, who many mistakenly believed to be Brown's husband),
Brown faded from view. After raising her two sons and working a nine-to-five
job, Brown began to rebuild her musical career in the mid-'70s. Her comedic
sense served her well during a TV sitcom stint co-starring with MacLean
Stevenson in Hello, Larry, in a meaty role in director John Waters' 1985
sock-hop satire film Hairspray, and her 1989 Broadway starring turn in
Black and Blue (which won her a Tony Award).
There were more records for Fantasy in the '80s and '90s (notably 1991's jumping
Fine and Mellow), and a lengthy tenure as host of National Public Radio's
Harlem Hit Parade and BluesStage. Brown's nine-year ordeal to
recoup her share of royalties from all those Atlantic platters led to the
formation of the nonprofit Rhythm & Blues Foundation, an organization dedicated
to helping others in the same frustrating situation. In 1993 Brown was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and 1995 saw the release of her
autobiography, Miss Rhythm. Brown suffered a heart attack and stroke following
surgery in October 2006 and never fully recovered, passing on November 17, 2006.
