Soul City: Chicago Various Artists SKU: FVDV172 Barcode: 5055311071725 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Fantastic Voyage Released Date: 2nd September 2013 Buying Format: 2LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Third in series, exploring early 1960s soul city by city, turns the spotlight on Chicago Tracks from Chess, Vee Jay, One-Derful and OKeh labels Compiled and annotated by soul music authority and radio presenter Clive Richardson Featured artists include Etta James, Betty Everett, Little Milton, Billy Stewart, Jerry Butler, the Dells, Dee Clark, Gene Chandler and Wade Flemons. Soul City Chicago provides examples of the emergent “uptown” style that became indicative of so many soul recordings from what has become known as the “classic era”. “Uptown” was descriptive of the sophistication of both arrangements and performances, with coarser, hard-edged recordings adapting into a more melodic and orchestrated sound without detracting from the intrinsic “soul” of the artists’ delivery. Soul City Chicago is the third instalment in Fantastic Voyage’s Soul City series, compiled and annotated by soul music authority Clive Richardson. Chicago benefitted from the creative talents of arrangers including Riley Hampton, Carl Davis and Curtis Mayfield, the latter dividing his time between recording duties and production work. Among the labels, OKeh and the multi-imprint Chess empire were particularly receptive to recording artists with the new and progressively more sophisticated “uptown” style. The main focal point of this anthology is Michigan Avenue, in the early 1960s a veritable hotbed of musical activity. There were George and Ernie Leaner with their cleverly-titled One-Derful label, Leonard and Phil Chess five blocks north with their eponymous company and, just across the street, Vivian Carter and Jimmy Bracken with Vee Jay Records. OKeh Records launched their Chicago soul venture in 1962 in hiring Carl Davis as producer, and examples from their catalogue also feature, along with tracks produced by city veteran Bill “Bunky” Sheppard. The Chess, OKeh and Vee Jay labels were all veterans of the rhythm & blues era, adjusting their roster and repertoire to accommodate changing musical styles in the new decade, Chess nudging their bluesmen towards the contemporary market, with Howlin’ Wolf, Little Milton and Buddy Guy reaping the benefit. Soulful ladies Etta James, Sugar Pie DeSanto and Betty Everett combine gritty R&B with mellow ballads on Disc One along with Billy Stewart and Jerry Butler, while Disc Two shines the spotlight on vocal groups including the developing Dells, the soulful Sheppards and some rare tracks by the Corsairs, along with hard-to-find discs by Dee Clark, Walter Jackson and Wade Flemons, the latter including early songs penned by Curtis Mayfield. All three companies were equally adept in adjusting their musical targets to gain maximum commercial impact, and Soul City Chicago is a showcase for their success in this respect.
