I phoned Prince out of the blue, hummed a melody, and he listened," says Nicks of the latter hit's gestation. "I hung up, and he came over within the hour. He listened again, and I said, 'Do you hate it?' He said, 'No,' and walked over to the synthesizers that were set up, was absolutely brilliant for about twenty five minutes, and then left. He was so uncanny, so wild, he spoiled me for every band I've ever had because nobody can exactly re-create - not even with two piano players-what Prince did all by his little self.

it not true

JB himself never knew how to read music.
When they would record he would go to each instrument and hum out what he wanted him to play.

I know this because my step dad was Browns band director and lead guitarist for 30+ years.

He told me as well as numerous 1st gen JBs who came to our house on the reg.

Actually the project had been planned as early as the fall of 1971 shortly after Gaye had released the What's Going On album. During the first recording sessions, a pregnant Ross complained to Motown chief Berry Gordy that Gaye wouldn't stop smoking marijuana in the studio. Even after Gordy tried to appeal to Gaye, Gaye stood his ground and refused to stop smoking for Ross. As a result, most of the album was recorded in separate studios in 1972-- Wikipedia

to replace Florence Ballard in (Diana Ross &) the Supremes in April 1967. For this reason, Patti LaBelle had beef with Diana Ross and Birdsong for many years afterwards.

The Supremes knew the Blue-Belles from the tour circuit (both the chitlin' circuit days and the later prosperous days), and Ross suggested Birdsong replace Ballard because the two resembled each other enough so that, from a distance, most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

As Ross and Berry Gordy prepared Birdsong to take Ballard's place, Birdsong worked as a sub for Ballard: when the Supremes went on the road, she would be secretly sequestered at a nearby hotel so that, if Ballard didn't show up or was too drunk to go on, Birdsong was there.

Ballard's final performance as a Supreme was the night of June 29, 1967, at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Ballard came to the first show drunk and overweight to where the stage tuxes she and her bandmates wore that night rode up over her belly. From the second show on, Cindy Birdsong took her place, and Ballard was sent back to Detroit for the last time.

The public never knew why Ballard left the group for several years; her "official reason" for leaving was that she wanted ot retire from showbiz and start a family.

Incidentally, across the street from the Flamingo in Vegas is Caesar's Palace, which is where the "It's All Over/And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" scene in the film version of "Dreamgirls" (the fictional equivalent of Ballard's ousting) takes place. You can see the Flamingo in an insert shot during the scene.

we'll be together"
their fairwell song

released from 1968 to 1969, save for their duets with The Temptations.

The Supremes-less songs include:

"Forever Came Today" (their last track done by Holland-Dozier-Holland)
"Some Things You'll Never Get used To"
"Love Child"
"I'm Livin' in Shame"
"The Composer"
"No Matter What Sign You Are"
"Someday We'll Be Together"

Therefore, Cindy Birdsong never appeared on any of the singles attributed to "Diana Ross & the Supremes". Motown's regular female backing group, The Andantes, sing backgrounds on all but one of these songs.

Maxine and Julia Waters sing backup on "Someday We'll Be Together", which was originally supposed to have been recorded by Jr. Walker. Gordy had producer Johnny Bristol use Diana Ross as the vocalist on the song, which was THEN supposed to be her first solo single.

However, the Supremes' manager Shelly Berger heard "Someday We'll Be Together", and convinced Gordy to release it as the final "Diana Ross & the Suprmees" single before the Suprmees moved ahead with new lead singer Jean Terrell.

which sits virtually in the shadow of a mammoth Civil War memorial.

http://www.allhiphop.com/features/index.asp?ID=1464

Alot of rappers and producer-types in the industry can be hard to talk to. You often have to pry their jaws open sometimes to get them to spill the beans for a hot exclusive. Normally, the higher up on the Hip-Hop food chain the artist is, the more difficult it is to get them to speak. Jazze Pha is not that type of artist. Although he’s sold millions of units worldwide producing the likes of Ciara, TI, and Biggie, he just might be the most down-to-earth artist in Hip-Hop. While some interviews can turn ugly when the pressure’s turned on, speaking with Jazze is like listening to one of his beats—he keeps it upbeat and he keeps it moving.

In the coming months Jazze will unveil what he thinks is the highest profile collaboration of his career. It’s so big, in fact, that’s he’s literally been sworn to secrecy. He’s given us some clues though, and if you’re sharp enough to read between the lines, you might figure out who the mystery man is. He also speaks candidly another high-profile collaboration that fell flat—his Happy Hour project with Cee-Lo Green. Whether or not that album is at last call, Jazze Pha’s just bellying up to the bar with some of Hip-Hop’s top echelon of producers.

AllHipHop.com: What’s up, Jazze?

Jazze Pha: I’m in the ATL holding it down, about to get into the mix right now. I’m working on the first single for this Disney movie called “Get Up” with Ciara and Chamillionare.

AllHipHop.com: Field Mob's “So What” has been blowing up steadily on Hip-Hop radio and now it’s creeping onto Top 100 radio…

Jazze Pha: Oh Yeah! That thing is spinning like…… a spinner! It’s a good look. Me and Field Mob have chemistry all the way from our first hit, “Sick of Being Lonely.” Ciara is also one of my favorite people to work with because of the chemistry we have. When we step into the studio, we block everybody out, and it’s just me and her. Ciara’s so much younger than me, you know what I’m saying, and the energy we create is different from the kind I make with artists my age. You know how it goes.

AllHipHop.com: How do the two of you approach songs? Do you have a set routine or do you improvise with each other?

Jazze Pha: I just kinda go in there and do the order of the day. She’s like, “I want to do a song where I feel like I’m floating above the clouds.” So first, we’ll start on the keyboards for something like that and make a sound that sounds like, gravity. I’m serious, man. If you can capture an emotion, then you definitely have a song that going to be on a project. When you can imagine and embrace something through sound, you got something special. It’s being really creative; you can’t go in there and make a beat and hope that it gets on the radio. It’s about making a feeling. I learned that by sitting in the studio with Dr. Dre and Babyface.

AllHipHop.com: What other tips did you learn from them?

Jazze Pha: Capture the moment. Even if there is no moment, you have to create one. There’s two sides to it. It depends on what kind of project you’re working on. If you’re working on an upbeat project, you don’t want to capture a sad moment; you gotta be a picker-upper. There’s one thing about stepping in the studio with Jazze Pha: you’re gonna be kinda upbeat. It’s a vibe that includes togetherness. I like to kick it; I like to party.

AllHipHop.com: I found out, today actually, that you signed singer Lloyd?

Jazze Pha: Yessir. As a matter of fact, he and I have been friends for a long time, even before his Murder Inc deal. It was a blessing for us to be able to do it.

AllHipHop.com: Is there a plus to working with young artists like Lloyd and Ciara?

Jazze Pha: Yeah, there’s a plus. They’re willing to grow and willing to learn and try new things. They don’t have it etched in stone what a superstar is supposed to sound like. They just do things that fit them. They make it easy.

AllHipHop.com: With that said, how did you approach “Nasty Girl” for the Biggie Duets project? Those vocal tracks were laid down almost ten years ago—and there was no way to work directly with the artist to try something new; you know what I’m saying?

Jazze Pha: I took the acapella and I listened to the original version. Then I went out to eat. While I was out, I was like “Man, if I put that s**t with that, it would be crazy.” I did it, and made it with more of a party vibe. To make it more sexy, I put Jagged Edge on it and laid the beat down. When I sent it to Puffy, he was like, “Oh my God, that’s it!”

AllHipHop.com: “Nasty Girl” was the first single off of that album, which went multiplatinum. Your biggest record to date is “1,2 Step,” which topped charts worldwide. With such accomplishments, there’s got to be huge pressure to perform…right?

Jazze Pha: That’s really not my aim. My aim is to keep doing great music and try to do a bunch of number one records. Of course, you want every record to be huge. But, a lot of times the big ones are not the ones you’re the most attached to. It’s great that they go big but there’s so many other ones that make you think, “Man, that should have been big.”

AllHipHop.com: So, if it got to the point where one of your artists doesn’t get that sales success, would you have to drop them?

Jazze Pha: I haven’t had to drop anybody as of yet. Hopefully I won’t ever have to.

AllHipHop.com: I guess what I’m saying is, Lloyd didn’t really get that kind of success at his old label. What kind of direction are you going to steer him in to chase a bigger audience than he did before?

Jazze Pha: I think it’s about him being in his element. Lloyd is a very creative person; he needs to be around a lot of creative people to get him there. He needs to be around a couple of producers and a lot of singers to write a few tunes, too. He needs to be able to go to them and pitch those vibes that he got in him. He’s a writer, he’s a singer and he can dance—and he pull it all off on stage. That’s what makes him an exceptional talent, so when you have you need to be around people who can fulfill those elements. The planets gotta line up for you, man. You know what I’m saying?

AllHipHop.com: I want to shift gears and ask you about your parents . They’ve both been sampled a lot—

Jazze Pha: Well, first of all, if you think Deneice Williams is my mom, she’s not.

AllHipHop.com: She’s not?

Jazze Pha: I knew when you set that up, you were gonna ask me if Deneice Williams is my mom. My mom’s name is Denise Williams, and people twisted that and ran with it. Now, I get people who want to argue with me that say “Yeah, that is your mama!” No it’s not.

It’s crazy, man. Eventually the word will get out there that she’s not my mother. My pops is still in the Bar-Kays, though. I originally started out as an artist and then moved into production after I got sick of waiting in the studio.

AllHipHop.com: Sonically, you’re not really known for using sample-heavy music. Why is that? Do you sample some of your music?

Jazze Pha: I sample a lil’ something, but I don’t really make loops. I’m about to, though…

AllHipHop.com: If you sample from your pops, you’d probably get a good deal on the clearance right?

Jazze Pha: . I got some of the reels from Stax Records transposed into Pro Tools files. I got like, maybe a hundred songs. I’m about to really put some s**t to life. I’m about to bring a whole era to the game. I wanted to use some of them for the kid Lupe Fiasco because he’s about to close his album up. He asked for a little Hip-Hop joint and I’m gonna pump up a big Hip-Hop joint. AllHipHop.com: What kind of artists are you looking to work with outside of the A? I know you mentioned Lupe, are there other rappers you’d like to collaborate with?

Jazze Pha: I like Kanye and I love Busta’s new album because it’s crazy; he just got real focused on his project, and that’s what time it is. You know what? I was supposed to get in the studio with Papoose. I was talking to Kay Slay and them to probably hook up. But I’ve been so focused with my artists that it’s kinda hard to . I got a couple of secrets in the works with a couple of mega stars, though. I was sworn not to tell.

AllHipHop.com: I know what you’re saying, but can you give me hint? You gotta give me something…

Jazze Pha: They said it’s between me and them. It’s one of the biggest rap stars ever, with 20 million records sold. There ain’t but a few of those…

AllHipHop.com: Intreresting, interesting. You done worked with a couple big stars… Jazze Pha: I know, but not this one. You know I worked with Biggie, you know I worked with Nelly…I never worked with LL…I never worked with…a couple of people.

AllHipHop.com: You ever work with 50?

Jazze Pha: Nope. I never worked with 50. I know 50 wants some of this. Real bad.

AllHipHop.com: I want to ask you about Cee-Lo and talk about the Happy Hour project. What’s the status of it now that Gnarls Barkley has blown up?

Jazze Pha: It’s on the back burner because the single we put out didn’t get a great reaction. I think Capitol was apprehensive about the project altogether and we didn’t follow through with it. So when he went and did the Gnarls Barkley record—which was real great—it was kind of a blessing in disguise. We still do have our project—and we still have some great records on it—but we probably put out the wrong single first. When the Gnarls Barkley project came out, it gave me time to focus on my label.

AllHipHop.com: Do you still talk to him?

Jazze Pha: Oh yeah. I talk to Cee-Lo all the time. Me and Cee-Lo are like brothers, man.

AllHipHop.com: You’re kinda like the life of the party in a lot of ways. Have you joined in on the Cristal boycott?

Jazze Pha: The Cristal boycott? I can’t really join it because I don’t drink it. I drink Louis XIII . Hooo

Jazzy Phae was named after one of the members of the Bar-Kays that was killed in the plane crash, he was best friends with Jazzy Phae's father. i know his name is Phaelon...i forget the last name.

He originally joined the Tempts in 1968, replacing David Ruffin as lead singer.

His first departure, in 1977, was more or less amicable: The Tempts were leaving Motown for Atlantic, and Edwards wanted to stay behind and try a solo career. It didn't work out, and Edwards ended up having to get a "real" job in construction.

In 1980, the Tempts came back to Motown. Edwards rejoined as lead singer. He was fired in 1983 for being late and high all the time, replaced by Ali-Ollie Woodson.

Woodson enjoyed rides on the tall white horse just like Edwards did, and in 1987 Edwards came back for a third time to replace Woodson. However, within a year's time Otis Williams decided he couldn't put up with Edwards anymore, and fired him for a third (and final) time, bringing back Woodson.

When Gordy finally heard the song, he had Freddie Preen, Alphonso Mizell, and Deke Richards "give the song the Frankie Lymon treatment" and record it with the Jacksons.

"I Want You Back" cost at least four times the cost of an average Motown recording session, because an unusual number of takes and punch-ins were done.

Yeah this is wrong, but Naughty BY Nature originally recorded as "The New Style"...

was every bit the "wretch" he said he was.

he used to be a captain on slave ships for Britain to Africa and America...

he felt like such a wrech for what he did
and he was seeking redemption for what he did.
wrote a song to the lord.

Old hymns are dope

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

what later became "The Tears of a Clown" as a Christmas present in 1966, because Stevie and his producer Henry Cosby couldn't write any lyrics to it.

Smokey came up with some lyrics, and the song ended up as an album track on the 1967 Miracles LP "Make it Happen".

Fast-forward to late 1969. Smokey has decided to quit the Miracles so that he can stay at home with Claudette and record solo. Hungry for new material, Tamla-Motown UK mines the Miracles' catalog for a new single, and resurrects "The Tears of a Clown". The single becomes a big #1 hit in the UK in mid-1970, and as a result is issued as a single in the U.S. a few months later.

"Tears of a Clown" was the Miracles' first of two #1 Hot 100 hits. The other is "Love Machine", recorded in 1975 after Smokey finally left the group.

under the alias Obedewl'l X.

ever wonder who that J.S. Theracon guy on Parliament/Funkadelic records actually was? Junie Morrison.

P.C. Moblee was Peter Cetera (doing a funny voice).

Shock G wasn't the only cat who had a "Humpty Hump" to fool listeners (and in the case of two of the above, to get around legal/contractual roadblocks).

"Good Singin' Good Playin", released in 1976

also...

Rikki Fataar, before he was Stig in the Rutles, was a member of the Beach Boys (1972-1974). He writes and performs on the albums "Carl & The Passions: So Tough", "Holland" and "In Concert"

ODB, RZA and GZA had a pre-WuTang group called "All In Together Now"

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's Woodstock performance was their second gig together.

More to follow.

are you a musician? took me a lot of years to realize that.

two hour practice sessions (when i do practice, lol)



but yeah.
chromatic scales... at LEAST an hour of your time.
once you get that and chords... everything else is easy.

an hour or so of "Stick Control" and other stick control exercises, an hour of drumset rudiments, and then an hour of swiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

the last hour is more an hour to let loose and try to grasp that feeling of swing (which is really hard for young bucks like me)


you play jazz piano?

I have to get on my chromatic scales though. each one an hour a piece??

lol, not quite.

but once Elvin made it big, Philly lost A LOT of work. He moved to England as a result.

Private Joy by Prince is abt his ex-girlfriend Susan Moonsie from Vanity 6...

During the 1999 tour Prince was hittin off Vanity, Susan, and Jill Jones and had them all sharing the same bus...He would come around at night and pick who would be his company for the evening....

I Wanna Be Your Lover was written for AND about Patrice Rushen....she turned the song down...

Patrice Rushen and her then-boyfriend Charles Veal both play on Prince's debut album, For You, uncredited...

Tommy Chong, from Cheech and Chong, used to be an R&B guitarist...he played for Bobby Taylor and The Vancouvers...they were really the ones who discovered The Jackson 5 and brought them to Motown's attention...

MJ was 11 at the time of their debut, but earl promo materials shave his age to 8....

Prince was 20 when For You was released in 1978, but early promo materials list him as 17....

Sheila E. made an album with her father for Fantasy Records in the 70's....

Sheila E. was in George Duke's band during the late 70's....

Tony Toni Tone were members of Shelia E's band in the late 80's...Prince promised to sign them but took too long, they signed with Polygram instead...

the guitar solo for Steely Dan's Peg was attempted by a few gutiarists before Jay Graydon nailed it....

wanna see? fast fwd to 4:50....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH0JpBzi68E

Steely Dan is named after a dildo in William Burroughs' The Naked Lunch...

All Steely Dan bassists were instructed not to slap....Chuck Rainey hid from view in order to do the slap part on the chorus of Peg...

Miles Davis' voice was reduced to a rasp because he screamed at some one a few days after throat surgery...

Chicago area singer and stage actress Simone is Nina Simone's daughter...

Deon Estus, who is known for being George Michael's longtime bass player, is from Detroit and was in the 70's Detroit group Brainstorm as a teenager...

Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, played Sylvester Stallone's son in the 1978 movie F.I.S.T. under the psuedonym Chad Dammett...

Miles Davis claims that he really wrote Donna Lee, not Charlie Parker...

David Bowie's real last name is Jones, but he was forced to change it to avoid confusion with Monkee Davy Jones...

Micky Dolenz of The Monkees learned to play drums after he was cast in the TV show....

Michael Jackson cries each time he sings She's Out of My Life....

At one point, Stewart Copeland set up his cymbals so that he wouldnt have to look at Sting on stage....

Various members of The Brides of Funkenstein and Parlet sang on a few Ice Cube projects in the early 90's...songs such as Givin Up The Nappy Dugout, Del's Sleepin On My Couch, etc...

Del the Funky Homosapien wrote all of Yo-Yo's lyrics for her first album....

Del and Ice Cube are first cousins...

see if I got mo' later....

Bobby Valentino used to be in the group, Mista. (So technically, this is his SECOND chance. @ his current status of a career.)

Bow Wow is the lil boy on Snoop's Doggystyle album. (You in the back with those French braids, What do you want to be when you grow up? Him- I want to be a mofo hustler. You betta ask somebody!) At one time, JD and Suge had a "disagreement" over Bow and that was going to be one of Suge's ways of getting back "on" the scene.

?uestLove and Black Thought were in the "Motown Philly" video for Boys II Men.

Lou Pearlman (Nysnc & BackStreet Boys fame) used to manage Boys II Men.

Uncle Sam (R&B singer) was signed to Boy II Men's label, StoneCreek.

Marc Nelson of AZ YET (Last Night fame) was a former member of Boys II Men.

Gerald Levert (RIP) wrote "This Game We Play" for Subway ft. 702.

Missy wrote songs for 702 (no surprise really since she was in the videos) including "Get It Together"

Missy also wrote Raven Simone's (Yes, that Raven Simone!) "That's What Lil Girls Are Made Of" joint, produced Mya's "My Love is Like Whoa and U-Haul off of Angie Stone's album.

-Was an Army Paratrooper for a minute, but due to an ankle injury during a jump he was discharged.<---Now disputed because they say that there is evidence that he used the I'm gay card to get out.

-Could play an extra note while playing a chord. Due to his huge hands he could play a chord and wrap his thumb around the neck of the guitar and an extra note on the sixth string.
