|
| None of them would even know who Leroy Carr is. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 57
|
| Stevie & Marvin. |
|

|
| Stevie and James. |
|

|
| Interesting you should choose those two |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 5
|
| I agree. Eckstine is a jewel that black people forgot about |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 6
|
| It's believed Eckstine's career was ended by a single photo. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 9
|
 Yep |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 12
|
| Oh, I believe it. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 15
|
| He never wrote an autobiography did he? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 19
|
| LOL that's crazy |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 23
|
| man could you imagine what that cat would have said... |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 26
|
| Damn. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 20
|
| Yeah - a fairly popular musician friend of mine that most of you |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 24
|
| man, not just Miles. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 14
|
| I knew of the others but Dexter? Wow... side bar... that movie? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 21
|
| I actually never saw Round Midnight |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 25
|
| I'm in the same boat... |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 28
|
| leroy carr for smoothness, i get |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 7
|
| He essentially originated that strain of smoothness, though |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 11
|
| i can see the carr----->jeremiah timeline now |

|
Jun 29th 2011 | 72
|
| chuck d and snoop |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 22
|
| Charly Paton would be one of them.. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 27
|
| That's a hell of a good argument - Donny did bring Stevie out |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 29
|
| How influential can Charley Patton be |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 30
|
| Robert Johnson maybe? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 31
|
| Robert Johnson was completely unknown during his life |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 32
|
| He was until the end this is true... but to be fair |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 36
|
| listen to stuff like "Come in My Kitchen' 'Dust My Broom' |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 39
|
| He did become a white rocker's novelty and it's painful |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 42
|
| I've never heard Curtis cite Johnson as an influence |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 45
|
| No he wasn't a blues SONGWRITER big difference |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 47
|
| good point about the 'bluesy' black-key tuning |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 55
|
| yeah I think that might be the influence in itself hahaha.. just that |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 60
|
| nah, I don't think I have, at least much |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 102
|
| slight correction |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 99
|
| Good point. |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 107
|
| Precisely |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 115
|
| vocally, Wolf is Beefheart's main influence |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 33
|
| hmmm... I never thought about that. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 40
|
| Jim Morrison |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 53
|
| I thought Morrison was trying to be Ray Charles. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 56
|
| i think waits was trying to do louis armstrong a fair a bit too |
|
Jul 01st 2011 | 122
|
| Paton's influence on Blues singers goes further than just |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 58
|
| Maybe this is what YOU are talking about |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 105
|
| *Avoids cluster fuck* |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 34
|
| Leroy Carr, huh? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 37
|
| man, I've just been listening to Carr all morning |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 41
|
| Last line - but which white singer is he borrowing from? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 46
|
| I don't know. Maybe he was an original. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 49
|
| Exactly my point, exactly - I mean and knowing that in many regards |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 52
|
| well... if I have one complaint about your selections |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 100
|
| You're very right about this |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 106
|
| skip james |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 111
|
| as for this one |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 113
|
| leroy carr prob for that smooth crooner style |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 38
|
| Well, there were quite a few rough guys before Ray |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 43
|
| . |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 48
|
| Leroy Carr influenced The Soul Stirrers. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 50
|
| blues got its whole style from gospel champ, quit playing |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 61
|
| There was Black Christian devotional music before blues, sure. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 62
|
| Better yet let's reword |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 64
|
| . |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 63
|
| what is this editing shit about????? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 66
|
| he's a lawyer |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 101
|
| This is tough. n/m |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 51
|
| guess i'll be the first to admit that i've never heard of Leroy Carr. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 59
|
| I've never heard of either of them |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 65
|
| this is probably his best known song |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 67
|
| that ain't the link between Isn't She Lovely & Birthday Sex. FOH. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 74
|
| LOL |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 77
|
| Johnny Guitar Watson was pretty influential |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 68
|
| Yeah Johnny Guitar Watson was a BADDDD mfer... |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 69
|
| he's slept on for a couple or reasons.. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 70
|
| Yeah he was and ya know I was guilty of not knowing about him |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 79
|
| i grew up thinking JGW was a novelty....but then |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 88
|
| That's exactly my position on him |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 116
|
| PSA: Going to the influence of the influence != most influential |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 71
|
| yeah. i'll be damned if Robert Johnson influenced R. Kelly's runs. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 73
|
| AFKAP thought he could shut the whole post down with that |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 75
|
| why not? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 76
|
| Because most influential isn't a pyramid scheme |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 95
|
| I can see that, and I agree. |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 108
|
| Sam Cooke & MJ |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 78
|
| they're going to say it's not MJ because MJ had too many influences. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 80
|
| but truth be it told everyone on this post had alot of influences. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 81
|
| You're probably right |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 82
|
| i mean somebody influenced the two dudes in the original post too |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 83
|
| AFKAP's veiled attempt to identify the 1st 2 niggas w/vocal cords. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 84
|
| lol |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 87
|
| mike is definitely up there.... maybe the dudes |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 90
|
| **:: comes into this pissed off like a mofo::** uh Louis Armstrong |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 85
|
| Random...but I would want Terrence Howard to play Billy in a movie |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 86
|
| ol' shaky voice motherfucker, mayne. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 93
|
| LMFBAO - why that dude always sound like he on the verge of crying |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 97
|
| chuck berry should be mentioned in this somewhere |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 89
|
| Influential as a guitarist/songwriter, not as a vocalist. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 91
|
| chuck didnt vocally influence buddy holly and them? |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 92
|
| um... not Buddy Holly, I don't think. |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 94
|
| I don't think his *voice* was influential... |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 96
|
| that delivery and the live vocal presentation |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 98
|
| That aint what the post is about, though. |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 110
|
| I'll go out on a rather safe limb w/my picks |
|
Jun 29th 2011 | 103
|
| I think Robeson was influential on a symbolic* level |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 109
|
| And that's a big part of why I picked him |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 112
|
| Ray Charles and Michael Jackson |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 104
|
| whoever influenced eckstine/carr is surely MORE influential |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 114
|
| Kap - Many Daps for this post man. Great post. |
|
Jun 30th 2011 | 117
