TEDDY EDDY Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Um, I believe that Jesse Davis actually IS white, Ed... um i believe hes black unless hes got a stand in on his picture sleeves
Sharon Cooper Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Um, I believe that Jesse Davis actually IS white, Ed... how about a white bloke with a black backing group with a white backing band on a white mans label paid for by a black blokes money thread chris

Paul R Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Leslie Uggams "Don't You Even Care" Atlantic Phil Flowers "Discontented" Dot And I even think Clara Ward "Right Direction" sounds pretty White too, although on other things black!. Paul

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 um i believe hes black unless hes got a stand in on his picture sleeves Um I believe you're right, smartarse... I was getting my Jesse Davises mixed up. The one I was thinking of (who I thought was the one that Eddie was referring to) was actually Native American. I didn't realise there were two - well, it tuns out there's actually three in music, but never mind - especially as Eddie's Jesse sounds like the one that I had in mind. I stand corrected.

Guest Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Sue Lynn - Don'r Pity Me Malc Burton OOPS - DAB !! WRONG TOPIC SECTION .......... In respect of Black artists sounding " white " , I thought upon first hearing " IALY " , that Dean Courtney was , as the vocal phrasing / style was akin to Len Barry ........ Malc Burton Edited October 7, 2008 by Malc Burton
grant Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Kelly Garrett "Love is the only solution" "Love's The Only Answer"....fabulous track
Garethx Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I agree with Ken that a recurrent obsession with race is slightly distasteful, but seeing as the US record business has always been obsessed with the issue there is no doubt that the topic holds a morbid fascination. I'm surprised that contributors on the other thread on white artists could mistake Tony Middleton for a caucasian: to me he's always sounded very black, no matter what genre he was singing in. "Spanish Maiden" in particular harnesses a tremendously soulful vocal approach. On this subject I must say that I was amazed to find out that Joe Phillips on Omen was a black guy: one of The Jones Brothers, Pentagons etc. His Marshall Lieb-produced Omen singles are amazing Wall of Sound efforts where he manages to sound like the perfect hybrid of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield.

Tone I think you are thinking of Jesse Ed Davis, he can be seen playing lead with Taj Mahal when they do A Lot Of Love on Rock n Roll Circus

Ernie Andrews Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Another |eslie Uggams one I just love and it sounds a bit like Pet Clark House built on sand
jazzyjas Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 How about: Shirley Bassey-Don't Take the Lovers From the World-UA I've got to disagree on Clara Ward. The fuzz guitars definitely pull her out of the church straight away but her voice still sounds very rootsy. Verve really had access to some amazing musicians to play on all those sessions. Some of the top jazz guys are playing on Howard Tate's LP, Howard Guyton's single and so many others. Tight musicianship on all that Verve stuff. Creed Taylor at work. But for white sounding black vocals, my all time favorite is Jesse Davis "Gonna Hang on in There Girl" on Era. I love the way he sings "I'm well prepayrrred for the task!" I must crank that song up in my car at least three to four times a week. Absolutely can't get enough of that track. -J. But to illustrate the point of the thread-you MUST watch this: ">
