BIG BAD JOHN ~ Jimmy Dean  (1961)

BIG BAD JOHN ~ Jimmy Dean (1961) Columbia # CL 1735

Jimmy Dean - (August 10, 1928 – June 13, 2010)
Birth name: Jimmy Ray Dean
Birth place: Plainview, Texas
Place of death: Varina, Virginia (at 81 years old)

Per the notes written on the back of the JIMMY DEAN: BIG BAD JOHN AND OTHER FABULOUS SONGS AND TALES (Columbia LP #CL 1735) record jacket, it states: "Jimmy Dean had been thinking for some time of writing a song about a PAUL BUNYAN-like hero. He began writing the lyrics at home, but never quite finished them, because he had to fly to Nashville, Tennessee for a recording session with veteran Columbia producer, Don Law. Jimmy simply brought along the unfinished song. By the time he got off the plane, he was virtually jumping with excitement. The song was completed and Don Law liked it so much, that Big Bad John was recorded immediately" -
(Side note: There's a little touch of "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford here as well) -
Note: What many today call, "rapping" was originally, in a cleaner form, referred to as, "calling". Talking in rhyming sentences or speaking the lyrics instead of singing them, which was very common in Country & Western music. It began with the square dance "caller" who gave direction to the dancers, through rhyming sentences set to the cadence or beat of the music being played by a live band. He never sang, he just spoke the words in rhyme. Much the same as a auction house auctioneer, who speaks the bids in a fast rhythm, choosing words which often rhyme. The "caller" and the dance can be: "traced back through England to the old French cotillions" (17th century) (per Lloyd Shaw-1939).
Also, a form of "calling" or "auction house crying" can be found in the 1947 recording of, "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette) (Tex Williams & Phil Harris) or "The Darktown Poker Club" (1946) (Phil Harris) for example, and many other older recordings. Therefore, "rap" isn't new, it's just a continuation of something which started many years earlier.
(* No one has ever said this, but I believe, "Cajun Doll", by Lattie Moore, may have inspired the writing of both "Big Bad John" and "The Cajun Queen". )

Lyrics:
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her whenever it starts?
And it's magic if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like tryna tell a stranger 'bout-a rock and roll

If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen, and it'll start with a smile
That won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping, and you can't seem to find
How you got there so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning till there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah
Do you believe in magic?
Yeah
Believe in the magic of the young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of-a rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout the magic

Kool & The Gang ~ Jungle Boogie 1974 Disco Purrfection Version
Kool & The Gang ~ Jungle Boogie 1974 Disco Purrfection Version Hotney 5 Streams • 2 years ago

The winters in the 70's were not as bleak as today due to the overabundance of good upbeat music that played on the radio. Usually after the holidays, everyone is in depress mode since there is not a lot to look forward to after the glorious one two punch of Christmas and New Years, just a lot of snow and some lesser holidays.

For example, in the winter of 1973-1974, Kool & The Gang put out "Jungle Boogie", and it was on the charts as the same time as "Love's Theme","I've Got To Use My Imagination", "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" , Boogie Down". These songs fuelled my early morning routines and the freezing cold hours spent waiting for the bus.

The story of "Jungle Boogie" started when De-Lite records pestered Kool & The Gang to do a cover of Manu Dibango's "Soul Makossa" as import copies of that song were the hottest ticket in disco and the label wanted in on that action. Instead, they listened to that song and were inspired to write "Hollywood Swinging" , "Funky Stuff" and "Jungle Boogie". Those songs were written in one night and at 11AM the next morning, the band convened at Mediasound Studios which was located in an old church on 57th Street.

The recording was made in studio B, which was one level below in the old church morgue. The acoustics were perfect for what the band was putting down. "Jungle Boogie" was the first song released and it peaked at #4 pop, and #2 R&B. An across the board smash, it featured Kool & The Gang roadie Don Boyce, whose deep voice anchored the song's spoken parts. Who can forget that Tarzan yell at the end? This has been sampled to death. Does anyone out there remember Jade's "Don't Walk Away" from 1993? It sounds like the same like it was directly lifted from the instrumental break on "Jungle Jazz", which was "Jungle Boogie" with no vocals only that jazzy ass flute!

Lyrics:
I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
