Just by looking at these artists' names, I'm not usually curious to listen to the record. In this case, I would have been wrong as "Stranger in The Manger"  has a good rockabilly sound.

Born in Wagarville, Alabama, Romeo Sullivan was a key figure in Country radio in the South Mississippi/Alabama area. His first stage appearance was at the ripe age of 5, when he sang Mule Skinner Blues and won five dollars and a cake. He laughingly says "bet that George Jones never won five dollars AND a cake." He had his own band at the age of 15, playing in places that he admits were really scary. Sullivan's first radio job was at WPBB, Jackson, AL where he begged the station manager to let him work week-ends for free. His first full time job was at WTUF in Mobile, Alabama, where he worked with Jack Cardwell, Boots Barnes, Luke McDaniels and Gene Leachman. In 1967 he landed the job as program director at WVMI in Biloxi, Ms. When Hurricane Camille hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast he kept the station on the air, providing information and entertainment to the victims of the sorm.1970 found him in Hattiesburg, Ms. at WBKH, where he later became manager, and WKNZ Collins, MS. Sullivan retired in 1997, after almost 45 years as a country disc jockey. Romeo was inducted into the Country Music D J Hall of Fame in 2000.

John Blackburn, owner of JB Records, formed offices in Nashville. That was announced by a&r director Pee Wee Maddux in May 1972.

Jackson

 

Jackson

"Jackson" was first recorded by The Kingston Trio in 1963. Written by Jerry Leiber and Billy Edd Wheeler. Although Jerry Leiber co-wrote this song, his wife Gaby Rogers got the writing credit. For a list of cover versions see Second Hand Songs.

This version is from the album "Sunday Afternoon" by Reid and Bobbi Northrup and the New Arkansas Travelers, issued by Tarot Recordings. Recorded at Vibra-Sound Studio in Schenectady, Upstate New York. Date unknown (circa 1970?)

Joe Sixpack has excellently reviewed that album :

A charmingly rough-edged (yet ambitious) set of regional twang by a husband-wife duo who were active in the Northwestern country music scene. The Northrups were from East Berne, New York (near Schenectady) and performed with various backing bands for many years in the late '60s and early '70s, most notably this group, the New Arkansas Travelers. [...]
As far as I know, this was their only album, but it's a doozy. It opens with a gloriously flawed rendition of "Jackson," where both singers flub their delivery, and seem to forget the lyrics while their hotshot guitarist keeps the hot licks coming. [...] All in all, a fine example of "real people" regional twang, with some lively, committed performances, particularly my Bobbi Northrup, who combined a mousy little voice with a wicked, Wanda Jackson-style snarl. Fun stuff!

Born in 1939, Bobbi Northrup was the daughter of Clarence "Pee Wee" Overbaugh, a popular area musician, who passed away in 1945, at the age of 34. He sang and played tenor banjo with the Arkansas Cowboys band (who were from Schenectady, not Arkansas).

Roberta "Bobbi" Overbaugh Northrup, 76, passed away on August 1, 2015, at her home in Converse, Texas. She lived in Berne and Altamont most of her life, moving to Converse when her husband passed away. Bobbi and Reid opened Heldeberg Appliance in East Berne and later moved the business to Altamont. She was trained as a bookkeeper, and also managed the concessions for the Altamont Fair for a number of years.

Reid Northrup retired and moved to Florida, where he passed away in December, 2000.

Arranged and conducted by Charles Colbert
Published by Star Point 7 (BMI)
1975

In those heady days, when the worst sexually transmitted disease you could get was VD (venereal disease), which could be erased with a free shot, The Wolfman actually seems to be encouraging kids to sex it up. There is no mention here of preventive measures (condoms, foam etc.), but hey... it was a safer, cleaner world. "Safe Sex" wasn't even on the horizon.

 

Robert Weston Smith (1938–1995), known as Wolfman Jack, was an American disc jockey active for over three decades. Famous for the gravelly voice which he credited for his success. [Wikipedia]

New Dance Craze

 

Five Stairsteps & Cubie

 

New Dance Craze

From 1968. Vocals lead by Cubie, three years old at that time.  Quoting his obituary from 2014 found here

:

CUBIE BURKE – youngest member of 60s/70s soul group THE STAIRSTEPS – died on Wednesday 14th May. He was 49 and it’s believed that his death was as a result of a brain injury he’d suffered some years ago.

The Stairsteps (sometimes billed as the 5 Stairsteps and Cubie) were made up of various members of Chicago’s Burke family and music legend has it that Cubie debuted with the band when he was just 16 months old! The Stairsteps recorded for Curtis Mayfield’s Curtom label and Buddha and their biggest hit was the much loved and oft-covered ‘Ooh Child’. Cubie occasionally sang with the group but it was his dancing that brought the applause and he eventually left the group to become a professional dancer, working with Dance Theatre of Harlem, The Atlanta Ballet, Alvin Ailey, various Las Vegas theatrical shows and at the Olympic closing ceremonies in Barcelona and Los Angeles. He was also the choreographer for the 1997 Soul Train Music Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles 1997.

Cubie also attempted a solo recording career debuting in 1982 with the release of the single ‘Down for Double’ on the Rissa Chrissa label. A full album was never recorded, because of the breakup of the record company. Cubie then returned his energy back to dance. He also wrote numerous songs – most never recorded.

As an actor Cubie Burke appeared in the TV series ‘Unsolved Mysteries: Season 9’ and in 1997 he founded a production company called QBiquity Productions.

Cubie Burke is survived by his daughter Decoda Kareem, granddaughter Aaliyah Kareem, his mother Betty Burke, father Clarence Burke, siblings Rami (Alohe Burke), James Burke, Dennis Burke and Keni Burke.

The Conner Family

 

The Conner Family : the four brothers and a sister recorded their first single in 1963. They were at that time : Jimmy 20, Otis Jr. 16, Larry 14 , Alan 9, and  Becky 15.

It was a cold September day in 1960 in Houston, Texas when Otis L. Conner, Sr. walked through the front door of the Conner home carrying an arm full of packages. His four sons, Jimmy, Otis Jr., Larry, Alan and his only daughter Becky came scrambling into the living room at his call. One by one the packages were opened. The first held an electric guitar, the second : an electric bass guitar, the third revealed a mandolin, the fourth: a snare drum and sticks, and the fifth : a tambourine, microphone and amplifier.

Within two weeks the Conner children had learned their first song - a rendition of "Milk Cow blues". Within a year the family had put together 30 minutes of material and the Conner Family hit the road. . .

I Hate Barney

 

 

 

The full story of this CD has been told by Dylan Greenberg

I knew I had to get to the bottom of this somehow, and I realized if I could get some of the people involved with this project to talk to me, I could create an oral history of the album. Over the next two weeks, I was able to interview three of the key figures involved in the album; Cindy Jo Hinkleman, the production coordinator, Tony Haynes, the primary songwriter, and none other than the legendary Freda Payne herself.

When I told Freda I wanted to interview her about this album, her initial response was one of bewilderment.

Freda: “Why are you interested in that?!”

Killing Me Softly With These Sounds

 

 

Yes, Sir, please killing me softly with your sounds

On February 28, 1993, the eyes of the world suddenly converged on a small religious community just outside Waco, The FBI did try to use music and other noise to torment Koresh's group into leaving the house. One of the survivors of the standoff, Clive Doyle, recounted much of the siege in his autobiography. In an excerpt from The New Yorker, Doyle writes that the noise from the FBI was constant and included "rabbits being killed, warped-up music, Nancy Sinatra singing 'These Boots Are Made For Walking, Tibetan monks chanting, Christmas carols, telephones ringing, reveille." 

A BBC News report claimed that "Enter Sandman" by the American heavy metal band Metallica, along with music from the children's television programs Barney the Dinosaur and Sesame Street, were used for sleep deprivation and to culturally offend Iraqi POWs

In the War on Terror, the US used the songs "The Real Slim Shady" by Eminem, the Meow Mix theme song, and "Fuck Your God" by Deicide to torture.

When the United States invaded Panama in December 1989, Manuel Noriega took refuge in the Holy See’s embassy on December 24, which was immediately surrounded by U.S. troops. After being continually bombarded by hard rock music, including Van Halen's hit song "Panama", and The Howard Stern Show for several days, Noriega surrendered on January 3, 1990.[

The Hill, reporting on the #OccupyLafayettePark protests, wrote: "A former adviser to Hillary Clinton hired a Mariachi band to play outside of the White House in an effort to disrupt President Trump's sleep on Wednesday night." The "former adviser"  probably assumed that Mr. Trump didn't like much hear the Spanish-speaking (or singing) people, The name of the marachi band is unknown. Instead, I've included a nice little piece sung by the all-time favorite crowd pleaser young Joselito from the 1958 movie "Joselito el ruiseñor de las cumbres".

Pakistani-Englishman Moazzam Begg, arrested by the CIA in Pakistan in 2002, wrote one of the most comprehensive memoirs describing the tortures he witnessed in the U.S. military prison system. During his stay at Bagram, Afghanistan, he suffered the Bee Gees.
He thought it was a joke at first: "Once they even played the Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack all night long. 'Hardly,' I thought,'‘enough to break anyone I knew.' ... 'We'll talk. We'll all talk,' I said in half jest when they played it, 'just turn that crap off please!'"

U.S. Navy veteran Donald Vance suffered this torture after the U.S. Army raided the Iraqi security firm he had been investigating as an unpaid FBI informant. When all the employees were rounded up, he was treated as a suspect, taken to an unofficial prison camp and tortured with song. Vance would catch himself singing along to songs he liked. "I can't remember how many times I heard Queen's "We Are the Champions.'"  Vance survived due to his military training. He started to talk to himself, telling himself jokes, trying to keep a rational train of thought going. He knew if he let the music completely "mask his thoughts," he would never get his mind back again. This method is likely what helped Vance emerge from this prison a "damaged" but not "broken" man.

Binyam Mohamed suffered Eminem's "Slim Shady" for 20 days. "I heard this nonstop over and over," he reportedly told Clive Stafford Smith, his lawyer and the founder and director of Reprieve, a U.K-based organization determined to end music torture practices. "The CIA worked on people, including me, day and night for the months before I left. Plenty lost their minds." Mohamed said he could hear others in the prison "screaming and smashing their heads against walls."

I've also added some sounds such as the sounds of the dentist drill, found at YouTube. From a long video (one-hour long of painful sounds).

Bowwow Theory

According to the Bowwow Theory, (Compare dingdong theory, pooh-pooh theory, says Merriam-Webster), the language originated in imitations of natural sounds (such as those of birds, dogs, or thunder). That's my inspiration for this compilation loosely based on various imitations of sounds in songs.

Kay Brown

 

Dolores Kay Brown was born on July 2, 1933 in Peoria, Illinois to Luther and Viola Brown. As a child, she discovered her passion for the performing arts when she enrolled in gymnastics. Her teacher recommended that she study music after hearing her sing. She moved to Hollywood as a teenager, and began singing for various radio shows. She landed a walk-on role in Driftwood (1947) as Bobby Soxer. The film was a modest success, and it allowed Kay to begin building her resume. In 1950, the 16_year-old high school songstress was inked to a Mercury recording pact by Harry Geller, artist-repertoire chief. Geller inked a pact with George Jay, Miss Brown's manager.

She issued 9 singles on Mercury in 1950 and  1951. In 1952, she joined the Stan Kenton Orchestra for a very short time (6 months). She said "I was not advancing her career by singing with the band.". Stan Kenton didn't like her voice and she was featured on only one side of his Capitol recordings (Lonesome Train). After three singles on Crown Records and one on Sunset Records, her career cooled, she signed with Decca Records (1956) and MGM/Metro Records (1958). Other than the occasional gig, she wasn’t offered anything further. After two additional -and failed- marriages, she moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where she met Brent Lyon Wood. They fell in love and married on March 10, 1972. They made their home in nearby Lund, Nevada. She was active at her local church, and her hobbies included knitting and gardening.

Indian Dawn

Apachee was Michael S. Schwartz who was playing guitar et writing songs as a hobby. Some of his songs were recorded : "Closer To Your Heart" (J.T. Carter on Decca in 1965), "What Was She Doing" (Tracie Robbins on Decca, 1965) and "Make The Most Of This World" (Bo Donaldson And The Heywoods on ABC, 1975). the latest written when he was a law school student in the late 1960s. Schwartz became the youngest man ever to be elected mayor of Golf Manor, a one-square-mile city In central Hamilton County. A Republican, he had been elected to council in November, 1973, four years after his graduation from Salmon P. Chase College of Law. The same year he became mayor, in 1975, Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, a local rock group, recorded Schwartz' song for the flip side of their recording, "Our Last Song Together." The record made it to No. 95 on national record charts. Back in those song-writing days, Schwartz said he "never thought about politics. It just wasn't my city, he said. "I guess It was the fact that I was the lone Republican."

Michael Schwartz, age 63, passed away Dec. 7, 2007.

1979

Tomorrow's Songwriters Club (TSC) was organized in 1973 by Mary L. Starr, a resident of the Oasis trailer park in Des Plaines, Illinois, "in hopes that she might be instrumental in helping writers in their chosen field. A songwriter is a dreamer that was born with a creative mind which they must learn to cultivate and help these dreams to come true".

TSC's star performer and driving force was Ray R. Jones, a legit country singer, leading his own family band, The Melody Kings (Wayne Mills, bass guitar, Marty Jones, rhythm guitar, Carlton Day, steel guitar, David Jones, drums).

Yvonne Webber (picture above is from her high school days in Owensboro, Kentucky taken in 1971) was a regular at the "Windy Hollow Show" in the same Kentucky town. She previously had another recorded song also backed by Ray Jones and The Melody Kings and issued in 1977 on the Ray Jones' TSC album titled "Getting Into The Country" .
