Bobby Hebb's  "I'll Be Anything For You" by Powerpack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JAGf-Ui4Pg 

The music was written by Bobby Hebb who also wrote Sunny and co-wrote the Lou Rawls hit "A Natural Man".  The drummer, Bobby Harrison, was in the group Procol Harum.  What are the names of the guitarist and the bassist?

A poster on YouTube wrote this:

The Powerpack was a popular club band in the late 1960's- early '70's. The only member who's name I know is that of lead guitarist-vocalist Terry Newman. Sorry that's the best I can do. Peace!

Northern Soul - Bobby Hebb's Impact on British Soul Music

Various Artists

Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities, Vol. 2

\http://www.allmusic.com/album/northern-souls-classiest-rarities-vol-2-mw0000306570
Great sounding and dense with information Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities, Vol. 2 is a true labor of love, compiling 24 solid tracks on the Kent label, a follow-up to the first volume released in 2001, four years before this wonderful sequel. It is sonically superior to another 2001 classic, Northern Soul Connoisseurs on Spectrum/Uni, the huge quantity of these anthologies from this music genre almost as overwhelming as the 45 rpm singles they collect. Ady Croasdell delivers 12 pages of liner notes on slick paper rife with photographs and copies of the actual labels from some of the 45s contained herein. The music is breathtakingly magical, the "Heatwave" beat driving the Extremes "How I Need Your Love" sliding quickly into Jimmy "Bo" Horne's "I Can't Speak," hardcore doo wop merging with '60s pop creating sweet soul confections that stand up to repeated, endless spins. Isaac Hayes and Joe Shamwell combine to write the superb "Sea Shells" as voiced by the Charmels, produced by the legendary Hayes/Porter combo. It's followed by William Hunt's dynamite version of Bobby Hebb's "Would You Believe," also recorded by original Procol Harum drummer Bobby Harrison, as well as Grady Tate and Kenny Lonas.  READ MORE HERE:

A review of Les McCann's 9 minute live concert version is in the works...stay tuned

Compilation Profile: JAZZ FOR WHEN YOU ARE ALONE

From: THE BOBBY HEBB ENCYCLOPEDIA

Dear Bobby Hebb fans:

JAZZ FOR WHEN YOU'RE ALONE was released by 32 Jazz and produced by Adam Dorn; the compilation series was produced by Joel Dorn who gives a nod to Buzz Curtis in the brief liner notes.  Curtis released many similar compilation albums for radio stations in the 1960s and 1970s, some including Bobby Hebb's version of "Sunny", which we will compile here at another date.

This eleven song collection contains a nine minute and forty-five second version of "Sunny" performed by Les McCann, track 4.  It is the live version from the How's Your Mother LP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzRsQDZfZws


There are two other renditions of "Sunny" by Les McCann that I'm aware of; the Mercury 45 by Jerry Ross and the lengthier Part 2 produced by Jerry Ross mentioned previously.

Also on this CD are Wilson Jackson & Pat Martino opening the CD performing "Blue Velvet" and Pat Martino closing out the disc with "You Don't Know What Love Is".  Pat Martino has covered "Sunny" many times, including a famous rendition with jazz guitarist John Scofield.


We'll be posting the compilations that contain versions of Sunny on this blog...they are perpetual...and many....


I purchased this particular one on eBay on 6/17/12 and received it on June 22, 2012.   Quick response in 5 days from Aimee at Bulky Basement.  Thanks!

Alice Clark THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS

 The Complete Studio Recordings 1968-1972 - CD NEW

THIS ALBUM CONTAINS THREE 
BOBBY HEBB CLASSICS

DON'T YOU CARE
CHARMS OF THE ARMS OF LOVE
HARD, HARD PROMISES

 

Read Joe Viglione's review of Alice Clark on AllMusic.com The self-titled 1972 disc from Alice Clark has more than stood the test of time, it is a sublime masterpiece of R&B/pop from the house of Bob Shad, the jazz producer who founded Mainstream Records, the original home for this superior project. Perhaps it isn't a coincidence that Clark's repertoire is exactly the kind of material Janis Joplin would pick up on in her days after Big Brother & the Holding Company, as this was also the first imprint that Joplin & the Holding Company recorded for professionally. Jimmy Webb's "I Keep It Hid" starts things off, one of the singles released from this original package and a nugget from another soul masterpiece, Supremes Arranged and Produced by Jimmy Webb, when Webb oversaw the post-Diana Ross girl group the same year as this release. A rendition of Fred Ebb and John Kander's tune, "Maybe This Time" from the motion picture Cabaret, is included along with three compositions from "Sunny" author Bobby Hebb. The collection of material from Webb, Ebb, and Hebb is actually genius A&R because all of it is a perfect fit. Northern soul fans and R&B critics are aware of this hidden treasure, but the buildup in this review of all the magnificent trappings shouldn't overshadow the fact that Alice Clark delivers the goods from start to finish. Some call it acid jazz, but truth be told, beyond the cult niches of space age bachelor pad and Northern soul -- the base that keeps obscure gems such as this bubbling on a variety of radar screens -- this is some of the best R&B you've probably never heard. The trifecta of Bobby Hebb songs include "Don't You Care" and "Hard, Hard Promises," two titles Hebb has yet to release on his own. The third is an up-tempo version of "The Charms of the Arms of Love" which concluded his 1970 album Love Games.   MORE HERE:  http://www.allmusic.com/album/alice-clark-mw0000335469

TERRIFIC VERSION OF "SUNNY

by Harry Manx & Kevin Breit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cquuShNP6l4 

Listen to the harp and electric guitar over the "Bobby Gentry" style-acoustic!  Nice work!

A new Harry Manx and Kevin Breit CD is always full of eclectic musical delights, and for Strictly Whatever each of the two guitarists brought a number of different original songs to the table, plus unique covers of Bobby Hebb’s classic, “Sunny;” and the John Lee Hooker chestnut, “Mr. Lucky.”

http://harrymanx.com/news/
____________________________________

Speaking of John Lee Hooker and Bobby Hebb, the editor of this blog just wrote the liner notes to a new John Lee Hooker DVD taped in 1974.

We were thinking of adding the Battle records John Lee Hooker tracks as a "bonus" but maybe on another CD, an audio of John Lee's we're negotiating for right now.  This will happen WHEN we verify that these are the tracks Bobby told me he played on for John Lee Hooker.

From the liner notes: 

On Saturday, July 6, 1974, Mississippi-Delta bluesman John Lee Hooker was one of the star attractions at an all-day festival attended by 6,000 people. The event in the town of Gardner Massachusetts was called "Down in the Dumps" perhaps the first in what was proposed as a series of musical events to be held in the city landfill area. Luckily, very luckily, Hooker's performance was captured on a three camera shoot and broadcast on cable television in local cities and towns.

Track Listing: It Serves You Right to Suffer, Sweet Sweet Thing, Boom Booom, Whiskey & Women, Boogie, Encore/Medley

Run Time: 45 min

Rest In Peace Herb Reed of The Platters

We are losing too many of the greats.    In the last month Duck Dunn, Robin Gibb, Donna Summer and now the great Herb Reed.

Herb lived in Arlington which associated him with Bobby Hebb geographically.

Rest in peace, Herb Reed.

BOSTON—Herb Reed, the last surviving original member of 1950s vocal group the Platters who sang on hits like "Only You" and "The Great Pretender," has died. He was 83.

Reed died on Monday in a Boston area hospice after a period of declining health that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, manager Fred Balboni said.

http://www.boston.com/ae/celebrity/articles/2012/06/05/platters_founder_herb_reed_dies_at_83/

Reed sang bass on the group's four No. 1 hits, including "The Great Pretender," "My Prayer," "Twilight Time" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."

The Platters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998. Their recordings are in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
