Thanks, I'm listening to the Chess Pieces now on Apple Music. Most of the artists I recognized (esp. the blues and rock-n-roll artists) but a couple seemed rather obscure: Pigmeat Markham and Sugar Pie DeSanto.Nicolas wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:42 amApple Music now allows searches by record label instead of just by artist, album, and etc. I searched Sun Records and Blue Note also and there’s a whole wealth of material there.iceport wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:28 amAwesome find! What an amazing collection. Scanning down the playlist, it's easy to see why Chess holds such a revered place in music history.Nicolas wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 10:28 pm Chess Pieces: The Very Best of Chess Records — Various artists, 48 songs, 2-1/2 hours, good music! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOzd ... mqiwGDzrdg
Thanks for reporting!
I'd heard the phrase "Here come the judge" before but didn't know it was popularized by Pigmeat's song Here come the judge (1968) which sounds much like early rap / funk / James Brown.
And Sugar Pie DeSanto has been performing from the 50's to the 2010's at least. From '64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pagqJxGR33I
