        If you've yet to listen to Otis Clay, you are missing a vital link in the chain of roots to pop history. Soulful, bluesy, and rockin', this album features great guitarwork and the famous HI records horn section and backup singers. Be sure to check out "Trying to Live My Life Without You," and "Precious Precious." If you like Anne Peebles, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, or Soloman Burke, you'll be an Otis fan for life.

        4 out of 5 stars Yo! Philly! Remeber this guy?.......1999-07-02

        Ask any Philadelphian which radio station to tune to for a weather forecast, sports coverage, or general news, and you'll invariably get one answer: KYW. Although it's now a Group W all-news outlet like WINS in New York, in the '30s KYW had an in-house band. The station's 1937 headquarters is still standing at 1619 Walnut Street, and I marvel at the echoes of the ghosts still playing in what was once studio "A" up on the fourth floor. The head ghost was one Jan Savitt, evidently a charming little guy who led a tragically short life. Strolling a few steps away will bring you to South Broad Street and the stretch of bronze stars mortared into the sidewalk that constitutes the City of Brotherly Love's musical "Walk of Fame." Charlie Ventura's there. So are Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz and Kitty Kallen. Eddie Lang has a well-deserved star, but Joe Venuti still doesn't. (His gravestone in Holy Cross cemetery is pretty cool, though.) Even Ed McMahon is there. But Jan Savitt's nowhere in evidence along the walk. That's kind of ironic. He was one of the youngest members ever to play in the Philadelphia orchestra. He had a little to do with helping fledgling KYW to become a household word around here. His was the featured band at the Arcadia Restaurant, which used to be in the Widener building, just a Tastykake's throw away from the Walk. And he gave the spotlight to a handsome, articulate African American, George Tunnell, as his vocalist. (Known as Bon Bon, George Tunnell hasn't got a star on the Walk, either.) This CD crystallizes a few moments in this city's musical history. "Hi-Fi" is a relative term for 60+-year- old recordings. Archivist Ed Burke, who has done yeoman's service in preserving some very rare swing, has managed to squeeze every last drop of sound out of two extremely rare broadcast performances. The first 10 tracks are from a broadcast out of the Arcadia restaurant. The first track after the intro, "Tell Me with Your Kisses," is an upbeat swing tune composed by Savitt. There is a good trumpet solo at the beginning that sounds like Johnny Austin. (Glenn Miller grabbed Austin for some early recordings, but musically hog-tied the man by stuffing a mute into his horn. He did the same thing to Charlie Spivak in the '40s.) Bon Bon gets in one of his light, bright vocals on "My Own," and a rich, mellow one on "Change Partners." Except for Fred Astaire's, this may be the very best reading down of this tune from the film "Carefree." Carlotta Dale, one of the very best of the '30s vocalists, has excellent vocals on "I'm in a Fog about You" and "I Won't Tell a Soul I Love You." The latter is an especially good tune for her rather dramatic-sounding voice. The band's shuffle rhythm suits "Lambeth Walk" nicely, as does the dulcet alto sax solo. The remaining nine tracks, from a studio broadcast, contain a few surprises even for the few aficionados of this band. "I Married an Angel" is a good medium-tempo instrumental. "Heart and Soul" is just the right kind of tune for Carlotta Dale. Her phrasing is hard to beat and her style highly individual and very late '30s. (It's the kind of sophisticated voice you expect to hear from a screen star, vaguely like Karen Akers'.) "What Goes on Here in My Heart," is classic Savitt. The piano intro, muted brass melodic line, trombone scoring behind the solos, and low-register saxophone ride out with open brass fanfare. "No Wonder, " a tune written by Savitt, is another fine instrumental, and goes to show the workmanship he put into his arrangements. It is also, however, a very similar arrangement to the one on "What Goes on Here in My Heart" and "I Married an Angel." If this band had a weakness, it was that the line between stylistic and formulaic sometimes got blurred. Savitt's may not have been the most innovative of the swing bands, but it was a sparkling, tasteful, and often quite distinctive outfit. This CD offers some of what little that remains of a band that has been all but forgotten in its hometown. Yes, there was music in Philadelphia before Frankie Avalon, before the Geator, and before WFIL. But what about Ed McMahon? What was he up to on the music scene in 1938? Rumor has it that he was employing his voice to entice theatergoers to buy popcorn and peanuts. Must have been pretty musical to merit a star on the Walk. Too bad no recordings survive.

        Any collection of songs produced by Willie Mitchell, the musical director for Hi Records back in the 60's & 70's, with the great Hodges Brothers (The Hi Rhythm Section) doing backup, is bound to be soulful. Syl Johnson was a singer who did not have great range as a vocalist, but he knew how to sing great soul. Best cuts on the album are "Don't Do It', Let Yourself Go", and "Back For A Taste Of Your Love". If you dig soul, you will like this CD.

          4 out of 5 stars My Favorite Soul Singer.......2001-04-22

          Man, when Al Green sings, how do you not feel it?

          Even when the arrangements aren't the greatest, Al Green makes it work. The patience in his singing, on things like "I Can't Get Next To You" and "Unchained Melody" makes these slower-than-the-hit versions groove.

          And when the tunes are closer to the level of this great, great singer--on "Tired of Being Alone," "L-O-V-E (Love)" and "Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)," Green made downright gorgeous records.

          There are a couple question marks here. Why the long sloppy intro, and less-than-hi-fi recording, on "Have A Good Time"? And why did nobody clean up "I Want To Hold Your Hand"? These are two good songs, from what sound like two good sessions, presented in second rate fashion.

          The good stuff here far out weighs the bad.
