Clyde McPhatter: Rhythm And Soul 1959 - 1965 (8-LP)
EINLEITUNG
Wer war der größte Sänger in der schwarzen Musik der Vor-Soul-Zeit? War es Sam Cooke? Little Willie John? Big Joe Turner? Rev. Claude Jeter von den Silvertons?
Für mich war es Clyde McPhatter.
Nach den meisten Kriterien ging McPhatter gegen den Strich. Schwarze Musik ist voll von Stimmen, die voll, tief und reich sind. Clyde McPhatter sang in einem hohen, fast strangulierten Tenor. Das war nicht ohne Beispiel, aber es war deutlich ungewöhnlich. Was McPhatter jedoch wirklich herausragend machte, war die Emotion, die er vermittelte. Es gibt eine sengende Intensität in seiner besten Arbeit, die über das oft banale Material und die gelegentlich veralteten Arrangements hinausgeht. Zu seinen besten Zeiten war er wirklich brillant.
Doch wie so viele andere brillante Künstler hatte er einen Selbstzerstörungsknopf, der ihm überall eingepflanzt wurde. Sein Leben endete nicht in einem schmutzigen Mord wie das von Sam Cooke, noch endete es im Gefängnis wie das von Little Willie John. Stattdessen tötete sich McPhatter, sein Leben lang von Selbstzweifeln und Vorwürfen geplagt, langsam mit Alkohol. Für diejenigen, die ihn oder seine Musik liebten, war es ein trostloses und demütigendes Ende.
Clyde McPhatter war einer der größten Stars des Rock & Roll, aber als die Hits versiegten und der Applaus schwächer wurde, driftete er in eine selbstzerstörerische Hölle. Eine Kombination aus Alkohol und nagenden persönlichen Problemen lähmte ihn so sehr, dass er aus seinem Status als verblasster Hitmacher der 50er Jahre kaum noch Kapital schlagen konnte und schon gar nicht ein Comeback in der Soulmusik, einem Genre, das er mitdefiniert hatte, wagen konnte.
Sein Einfluss ist überall zu spüren. Einige Künstler wie Dee Clark begannen ihre Karriere als Clyde McPhatter-Kopisten, andere wie Smokey Robinson bekennen sich offen zu ihrer Schuld bei ihm. Er war nach Sam Cooke der zweitgrößte Künstler, der ihn als einen großen Einfluss anführte. Selbst in der Karibik orientierten sich Sänger wie Owen Gray an seinem Stil. Elvis Presley war ein echter Fan. Er tauchte während seiner langen Karriere immer wieder in seine Clyde McPhatter-Sammlung ein und gab sogar zu Protokoll, dass er sich wünschte, er könnte wie Clyde singen. Tom Jones mag mehr Schweiß in Without Love gesteckt haben, aber er schaffte nur einen schwachen Schatten von McPhatter's Leidenschaft.
In diesem Jahr wäre Clyde McPhatter fünfundfünfzig Jahre alt geworden. Stattdessen ist er schon seit fünfzehn Jahren tot. Alles, was uns geblieben ist, sind ein paar Videoclips, einige Fotos und die Aufnahmen. Dieses Buch wurde als Begleitbuch zur Bear Family Records Retrospektive von McPhatters MGM- und Mercury-Aufnahmen konzipiert. Es ist aber auch der erste Versuch einer einigermaßen detaillierten Biografie. Clyde McPhatter war ein introvertierter und unkommunikativer Mensch, selbst zu denen, die ihm am nächsten standen.
Das bedeutet, dass ich bei einigen Problemen, mit denen er konfrontiert war, ein gewisses Maß an Vermutungen anstellen musste. Es bedeutet auch, dass die Biografie bei weitem nicht so vollständig ist, wie sie es für einen Künstler von McPhatters Format sein sollte. Dieses Problem ist jedoch weitaus leichter zu bewältigen als die Versöhnung des enormen Respekts, den man für das Werk dieses Mannes empfindet, mit der Frustration über die Aufzeichnung der bedauernswerten Tiefen, in die er gesunken ist.

The Dominoes
No lead tenor was as monumentally influential to the future of R&B vocal groups as The Dominoes' Clyde McPhatter. He was the first to incorporate an overt gospel influence into his impassioned leads, influencing everyone from Smokey Robinson to Aaron Neville to most of Clyde's successors with The Drifters. If it had been up to Billy Ward, the Dominoes' iron-fisted founder, Clyde would have reined in his sanctified tendencies and sounded like The Ink Spots' Bill Kenny. Thank goodness Clyde didn't listen to his boss. Ward was born September 19, 1921 in Savannah, Georgia but mostly grew up in Philadelphia. A gifted piano composer at age 14, he went on to study music at the prestigious Juilliard School. After an Army stint, Ward was working in New York as a vocal coach when he met talent agent Rose Marks. The two would co-manage The Dominoes until her 1955 death.
The group started out as The Ques in 1950, Ward bringing together McPhatter (born November 15, 1931 in Durham, North Carolina), tenor Charlie White, baritone Joe Lamont, and bass Bill Brown. Clyde sang in the choir at his mother's church, and after his family moved to New York in 1945, he harmonized with The Mount Lebanon Singers (White was also a member). But McPhatter harbored secular ambitions. He competed in the Apollo Theatre's weekly amateur contest, singing Lonnie Johnson's Tomorrow Night. Ward's authoritarian approach whipped the group into shape in a hurry. They won the Apollo amateur show, emerged victorious on the radio program 'Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts' by crooning Goodnight Irene, and got signed to King Records' brand-new Federal subsidiary (Ralph Bass was persuaded to leave Savoy and head Federal by King boss Syd Nathan). That's when The Ques name bit the dust. The Dominoes made their first session for Bass in New York on November 14, 1950.
Their debut single, issued shortly before year's end, was also Federal's inaugural offering. It paired the upbeat Chicken Blues, fronted by bass singer Brown, with a Clyde-led Do Something For Me that was the first volley in a soulful revolution, even if pianist/arranger Ward didn't care to encourage it. The deliberate tempo of Do Something For Me, credited to Ward and Marks, allowed Clyde to work sanctified magic with its pleading lyrics. The rest of the group, all ex-gospel singers, pitched in sympathetically abetted by shimmering guitar. The shattering ballad blasted up to #6 R&B over a ten-week span that commenced in February of '51.

The Drifters
Great as they were, Clyde McPhatter's Drifters weren't the first black vocal group to use the name. There were several that came before. Recording for songwriter Otis Rene's Excelsior label in Los Angeles, these Drifters beat Clyde to the punch by a couple of years. While their sound looked backward to the 1940s rather than forward the way McPhatter's visionary outfit would, their Honey Chile was a lighthearted charmer, the polished group riding a backdrop built around bouncy piano and winding electric guitar. The other side, the Rene-penned Mobile, was bluesier and more lowdown, though hardly back in the alley. By 1953, there could be no doubt who owned the name. But these Drifters ably kept it warm until McPhatter and his crew broke out like gangbusters.
