Note :
En 1962, une jeune femme de 16 ans faisait parler d'elle aux Etats-Unis pour son single "My Man - He's a Lovin' Man". Il s'agissait de Bettye LaVette, dont la voix fait partie de celles qui ne s'oublient pas. Et pourtant, cette native du Michigan, qui a grandi à Detroit, n'a jamais eu la chance d'embrasser la carrière de Tina Turner et d'Aretha Franklin. La vie réserve parfois son lot de déceptions, même si la chanteuse n'a pas eu à rougir de son parcours, qui lui a permis d'assurer des dizaines de concerts à travers le monde et d'enregistrer une série d'albums. Pour "Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook", elle a fait le choix de miser sur les reprises.
S'attaquer aux répertoires de Pink Floyd, McCartney et Elton John est sacrément culotté. Mais, avec ses airs de femme épanouie et son timbre patiné et puissant, Bettye LaVette n'a pas eu peur. Elle a eu raison : ses 13 chansons, mariage d'esprit musical britannique et de sonorités soul, jazz et R&B américain, donnent un second souffle aux morceaux originels. Pete Townshend des Who aurait même avoué avoir pleuré en entendant, lors d'un concert, la reprise de "Love, Reign o'er Me", initialement enregistré en 1972. Soit il est devenu un peu trop sensible, soit le talent de Bettye LaVette donne des ailes à son auditoire. Nous penchons pour la seconde hypothèse.

05 Motherless Children (part 1)
06 Motherless Children (part 2)Joshua Daniel White (February 11, 1914–-September 5, 1969), best known as Josh White, was a legendary American singer, guitarist, songwriter, actor, and civil rights activist. He was also known by the name "J King".
White's anti-segregationist and international human rights political stance presented in many of his recordings and in his speeches at rallies resulted in the right-wing McCarthyites incorrectly assuming that he must have been a Communist. Accordingly, from 1947 through the mid 1960s, White was caught in the vise grip of the anti-Communist Red Scare, and combined with his resulting attempt to clear his name, his career was harmed immeasurably. However, regardless of the purists' debate over the artistic change in his presentation or from those who opposed his politics, White unarguably inspired several generations of guitarists with his new and unique stylings and techniques, and is cited as a major musical and social influence by dozens of future stars.
"Harlem Blues" was a set of three 78 rpm singles, recorded March 7, 1940 in New York Cityby Zero G Sound (Thanks !!!)

The Al Strozier Band @ MySpace Born in 1942, Al was the oldest of the brothers and the most musically prolific. Highlights of his lengthy career include a year with the Soul Stirrers alongside Sam Cooke and being a founding member of Gladys Knight and the Pips, playing with them from their formation until they left Atlanta. He also founded the legendary Houserockers with Luther Johnson and, due to his serious skills on the harmonica, spent over three decades supporting blues artists like Little Richard, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Billy Wright and BB King. He's still going strong to this day in his native GA with the Al Strozier Band, playing a mix of R&B, blues and soul originals. Clyde Strozier ca. 2005 Source: Georgia Council for the Arts Clyde, born in 1946, was the middle kid. He started playing blues guitar when he was 9 and prior to forming this group with his brothers had been a member of The Tams and played in bands behind Curtis Mayfield and Martha & The Vandellas. According to him, it was really brother Al who wrote The Tams' biggest hit "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" and not the writers credited (Whitley & Cobb) who "stole" it. Sucks to be Al since that slice of upbeat soul found longevity thanks to the Northern Soul crowd and can be heard on Kent's excellent Shoes compilation. Clyde still works the Atlanta blues scene, although in contrast to his elder brother's band he specialises in a much rootsier brand of acoustic folk-blues. He recently spent time as a Master Artist with the Georgia Council of the Arts' Traditional Art Apprenticeship program, preserving the blues art form by assisting in the development of younger players. Curtis was the youngest of the brood, born a year after Clyde and as often happens with the baby of the bunch, there was nothing left for him at the table when they passed out internet biographies.
