We're busy working on the Bobby Hebb Boxed set and a brand new website. This blog is always here for Hebb news and is just a temporary site where we are "parking" BobbyHebb.com until the new site is ready to be unveiled.

spoke with Joe Viglione on

Simpkins, owner of Blue Jay Records, a label which has the jazz guitarist Eric Johnson (of Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff fame).

Joe Viglione's review of Roger Williams performing "Sunny"
BORN FREE lp featuring "Sunny"
http://www.allmusic.com/album/born-free-r68398/review
Bobby Hebb's "Sunny" gets a superior treatment. Where Dusty Springfield had orchestration which hinted at the James Bond theme, Ralph Carmichael pushes the orchestra to the limit and this jazz/swing version dances around the nuances of Hebb's composition, the piano dominant with the big band following Roger Williams' lead. Hebb has stated that he's recorded it twice and (outside of live versions) he doesn't want to perform it a third time, but some hip producer could always sample his voice and slip it over this stunning rendition for a few cameo appearances. The song is timeless, and this instrumental in the right film could bring the Born Free album by Roger Williams back into the charts.

Frank heeft een prettige stem die bij momenten iets wegheeft van Michael Bublé, maar naarmate het album vordert toch net wat te vlak is om te blijven boeien. Op Hammond, Rhodes en Wurlitzer kan hij een stuk lekkerder uit de voeten. Bijvoorbeeld in de solo van "Sunny" dat, hoewel het nergens op de hoes staat, wel degelijk een cover is van Bobby Hebb.

Nach einer kurzen Umziehpause zeigt Esther – nun im sexy Minikleid und High Heels Stiefel – mit ihrer Band ihren eigenen Style; Ridstyle eben. Authentisch und mit beeindruckender Stimme überzeugt sie mit teilweise rockigen und poppigen Elementen und deutschen Texten. Zwischendurch unternimmt sie Ausflüge in vergangene Zeiten mit Titeln wie „Sunny” (Bobby Hebb) und „What a difference a day makes” (Dinah Washington). Höhepunkt war dann die Premiere einer deutschen Version des Winehouse-Titels „You know I’m no good”. Am Ende schafft sie es, dass alles tanzt und singt: „Du liebst mich, ich lieb dich”.
