Bobby Hebb - The tribute to the genius

Here's a new version of the famous photo that Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, set up. I believe this was in Memphis, Tennessee in 1966 backstage. The Beatles are asking Bobby Hebb for his autograph Notice the tiles in the photos from August 19, 1966 http://www.beatlesinterviews.org/db1966.0819.beatles.html That is most likely the day of the photo posted above.

Umami is comprised of German Duo of Sam and Robert who put together a cracking rework of Bobby Hebb’s beautful acoustic soul record ‘Sunny’ which ranks very highly on my list of all time feel-good pop songs. __________________________________________________________________________________ Leonard Nimoy's "Sunny" from his The Way I Feel album http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_I_Feel_%28Leonard_Nimoy_album%29

IN THE NEWS BEATLES TO BE HONORED AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS http://music.yahoo.com/news/beatles-kristofferson-honored-life-39-034653068.html The ceremony was the first of several celebrations of the surviving Beatles, Starr and McCartney, the latter of whom was unable to make the ceremony because of Grammy Awards rehearsals. The two will appear on the telecast Sunday night and will be the subject of a star-studded television special taped Monday to air on Feb. 9, the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first performance in the U.S. Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, the widows of Beatles John Lennon and George Harrison, accepted the honors Saturday for their late husbands, and Starr used Ono's long speech as an opportunity to play to the crowd. He took out his cellphone early in her remarks and pretended to take a call, then leaned in to try to get her attention sometime later. Starr lamented not writing down his thoughts beforehand but kept the crowd laughing before tur...

 TIM GHIANNI on his friendship with Bobby Hebb "We're in the university of life and last time I checked, no one is in a hurry to graduate."   Perhaps the gentlest soul I’ve ever met in the years I’ve been privileged to interview musicians, Bobby Hebb looked up at me and smiled when he said that.   I quickly scribbled that down in my now unreadable reporter’s notebook, took a long deep sip of the Scandinavian roast coffee that he’d prepared.   “I think you’ll like this,” he had said, urging me to go ahead and try his formula for boosting the coffee’s spirit-lifting taste, attitude even.   Hebb spooned some brown sugar into my cup and poured in some real cream, not of the low fat variety – for he was only 5-foot-6 and 130 pounds – and we looked out the back door of his tidy home in Bordeaux.   “It’s nice to be back home,” he said, before leading the way back to the living room/dining room/family room combination that was filled w...
