KevH Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Hi chaps,any info on Willie Tee - "Here comes the hurt again."Cheers.....Kev.
John Benson Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 You don't mean "First taste of hurt" do you?Can't say as I recall that title by him...
KevH Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) You don't mean "First taste of hurt" do you?Can't say as I recall that title by him...No John, know that one.!Its a version of the Lee Dorsey track. (below).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8IHPj1qIsA Edited July 23, 2015 by KevH
John Benson Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry Kev, I kinda thought you'd know that one, but thought I'd best confirm it Isn't it Willie Harper on Sansu?In fact the same person has put the same track up, but this time credited to Willie Harper.I've played them both at the same time and they both sound the same to me. 1
John Benson Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 The 'Willie Tee' take was posted almost a year later than the Willie Harper posting - very odd but it still sounds the same recording to my ears. Try playing both at the same time to compare them and see what you think:
KevH Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 Different vocal John. Have a listen to the opening vocal intros . Isn't the Wiliie Harper a different song altogether ?
KevH Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) willie tee / harper are different from lee Dorsey . Is TEE a typo ? Edited July 23, 2015 by KevH
John Benson Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Isn't that what I said? The one credited to Willie Tee is exactly the same recording as the one credited to Willie Harper (to my ears anyway)The third one I posted is the one by Lee Dorsey, which was just to be able to compare the three all in one place - typo indeed sounds about right to me. But as I said, the first two (Willie 'Tee' & Willie Harper) were posted on YouTube by the same person, which makes it strange why he / she would make such a 'mistake'. 1
KevH Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 ,clear as mud John..Seriously though ,i agree with you.Typo error. 1
Guest Ivor Jones Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I think John is correct about this too Kev. I didn't know the track at all, [its rather nice isn't it ?]…..however, I'm reasonably confident its not Willie Tee purely because his voice is just so distinctive isn't it ? One of those very lucky vocalists whose voice and style can't really be mistaken for anyone else, which has to be a massive bonus in an overcrowded market I would have thought. This just doesn't sound like him at all to me.Really sad he's no longer around to make great music, his first gig at the Jazz Cafe in Camden remains one of my all time favourite gigs….absolute killer ! Willie Tee R.I.P Ivor
KevH Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Hi Ivor, yes conclusion is it's Willie Harper recorded from the Sansu days. Only release on P-Vine. What a gig the Willie Tee must have been. !! 1
