Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLIV--The Coasters: Charlie Brown

 Light my candles in a daze 'cause...I'm late again....

One of the many highlights of my musical adventures over the past couple of years was discovering just how great this week's featured band was.  I knew this week's featured tune and "Yakety Yak," but after finding their greatest hits for a dollar at one of our periodic library sales and listening to it for a couple of months, found that they had had many tunes that were downright fantastic throughout their heyday.  Which just goes to show you're never too old to dig up some old-time rock and roll (so to speak)....

The Coasters formed in Los Angeles in 1955 originally as the Robins, but after a few changes in personnel ended up in New York (they went from the West Coast to the East Coast, hence The Coasters) and began a quite successful career.  After teaming up with (now) legendary songwriters Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, The Coasters would have six consecutive top ten hits between 1957 and 1959.  While the band would never quite repeat that success (their last single release was 1964, and their last album in 1972), they are still performing to this day (albeit with numerous changes in band members).  For the record, the four Coasters who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, Will "Dub" Jones, and Cornell Gunter (if they gave us so much joy, they most certainly deserve a little personal recognition).  For their career, The Coasters released two studio albums, five compilations, and seventeen singles (all of which, except the first, charted, and with one #1).  Sadly, none of the original Coasters are alive, but their music, as they say, lives with us forever.

Fun Fact:  The Coasters were the first group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

"Charlie Brown" was released as a single in 1959 (the year I was born--coincidence?  I think not).  It would reach #2 (with a bullet!) on the Billboard 200.  It hit #1 in Canada--so many cool kids north of the border!

Fun Fact #2:  As one listen will tell you, "Charlie Brown" has no relation whatsoever to Charlie Brown of Peanuts fame.

How can you not love a song that opens with "Fee fee, fie fie, foe foe, fum..."? (I'm sure someone will tell me....)  This one is all about the fun, chronicling a good-natured troublemaker in High School, U.S.A.  During my half-assed research, as I listened to "Charlie Brown" umpteen times, I was struck by how solid the drums were, driven with the speed of a machine gun.  There's plenty of saxophone to spread the good fun, and plenty of piano to accentuate the vocals.  As one might expect from one of the progenitors of Doo-wop (though technically not a Doo-wop band), the harmonies are as pure as the morning dew, and one whole hell of a lot tastier--and with the added bonus of Dub Jones' perfectly played bass vocal lines.  I would be remiss if I didn't mention Lieber and Stoller's music and lyrics--it's not easy turning a novelty song into a classic period piece. The last few years I've really begun to listen to and appreciate rock and roll's earliest days, and the Coasters "Charlie Brown" is a dreamy piece of cool cat pie from its beautiful beginnings.  In a word, timeless.

Lyric Sheet:  "Who walks in the classroom, cool and slow?/Who calls the English teacher Daddy-O?..."

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLIII--Billy Preston: Nothing from Nothing

 Like a complete unknown, like a...guy who's late once again....

Amazingly enough, my introduction to this week's tune would have been my sophomore year of high school, which coincidentally would be the year it was released.  It was quite ubiquitous on my music radio of choice (or not choice as we didn't have FM radio in the family car and good luck getting an FM station on our portable radio unless the skies were bluer than blue) WLS-89 AM out of Chicago.  It's also one of those songs that not only did I like when it was originally released, but as I--and the song--have aged my appreciation for it has only grown....

Billy Preston was born in 1946 in Houston, Texas, and by the time he was ten he was playing keyboards (a prodigy, he was self taught) for gospel groups.  At sixteen he had backed Little Richard and Sam Cooke, and by the end of the sixties had played with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.  He went solo in the early seventies, had a string of hit singles through the early eighties (and won two Grammys), and then, sadly, his life took a series of unfortunate turns.  Preston suffered from sexual abuse as a child, which may have led to his cocaine addiction, had the relationship break up from hell, was charged with drunk driving (more than once), assault, and insurance fraud, struggled with his homosexuality vis-a-vis his strong religious beliefs, and by 1997 found himself sentenced to four years in prison for cocaine possession during his probation for drug charges.  Preston would serve eighteen months of the four years and get himself finally cleaned up.  Through it all, Preston continued to tour and play keyboards for a plethora of stars (probably easier to list the ones he didn't play for than the ones he did).  For his solo career, Preston released twenty-three studio albums, four gospel albums, one live album, and forty-six singles (two #1 singles, one #2, and two #4's).  Unfortunately, Preston's drug addictions eventually caught up with him and he fell into a coma in late 2005 from complications of kidney disease and never recovered, passing away in 2006.  Preston was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.

"Nothing from Nothing" was the first single from his 1974 LP, the rather youthfully entitled, The Kids & Me.  The single would hit #1 (with a bullet!), and the album would become the highest charting of his career, reaching #17.

Fun Fact:  "Nothing from Nothing" was the first song played in the first musical appearance on Saturday Night Live when the show debuted in 1974.

Fun Fact #2:  Preston is the only artist to be listed as a co-performer by the Beatles.  Their single "Get Back" was credited as The Beatles with Billy Preston.

Opening with a snippet of carnivalesque reverie, "Nothing from Nothing" rolls right into some funky ass keyboards (quickly easy to see why Preston was considered one of the best keyboard players ever), and Preston adds to the fun with some funky ass vocals (nailing both the rhythm and the blues).  A little further down the line a funky ass horn section joins the rollicking express and gives us a funk/pop/soul delight.  Preston and co-writer Bruce Fisher heap on some nice wordplay in the lyrics, as well.  Not really sure what the song is about (bringing something to the table if you're serious about a relationship with the protagonist?), but I don't know if it's all that important as long as the song moves you.  In the end, it's another in a long line of glorious tunes from my favorite rock and roll era, the seventies--and for me, the more's the merrier.

Lyric Sheet: "Don't you remember I told ya/I'm soldier/In the war on poverty/Yeah, yes I am..."

Enjoy:

Trump is literally out of his fucking mind

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting.

Trump is such a fucking wimp

Standing and waiting like a pet poodle for a murderous foreign dictator who kills America’s friends and allies, trying to suck up to him by rolling out a show of the armed forces that mostly exist to fight that very dictator.
