 To be fair to Clapton who started his Guitar Festival to fund the Re-hab, Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray’s brother Jimmy is reason enough for this to be outstanding

Cousin Joe Pleasant with Brownie - “Hard Headed Woman” live in Paris 1964 | Blues.In.Colour

 

Cousin Joe Pleasant with Brownie McGhee, Willie Smith Ransom Knowling - “Hard Headed Woman” live in Paris 1964

Blues.In.Colour

"What a character!! Cousin Joe filmed in Paris back in 1964 with a great rhythm section of Brownie McGhee on acoustic guitar, Ransom Knowling on bass, and (Muddy’s longtime drummer) Willie “Big Eyes” Smith on drums.

Reviews at the time said that his comedic, natural showmanship—complete with rolling eyes, a distinct chuckle, and a hoarse, expressive vocal delivery—frequently “brought the house down” and stole the spotlight from more widely known headliners.

I don’t make anything colourising and putting these videos together so please support the channel with the link here if you can its greatly appreciated! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bluesincolour

The Gospel’s Song episodes were filmed in Paris on the 25th July 2 months after the famous Blues Gospel Train was filmed at Wilbraham Road Station, Manchester. The line up was the same including Otis Spann, Cousin Joe Pleasant, Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Reverend Blind Gary Davis and Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee. This performance was broadcast as part of Episode 3.

Willie ‘Big Eyes’ Smith: Drums

Pleasant Joseph, widely known as Cousin Joe (and sometimes Cousin Joe Pleasant), was a prominent American piano blues and jazz singer. Born on December 20, 1907, he became a central figure in the mid-century New York and New Orleans music scenes, celebrated for his distinct piano style, sharp wit, and satirical lyrics. He passed away on October 2, 1989.

He was born in Wallace, Louisiana, and spent his early childhood working on the Whitney Plantation, where his family had been enslaved for generations. His family relocated to New Orleans when he was 12. Though raised in a strict Baptist household, he quickly became captivated by the jazz and blues filtering out of local clubs.

 He taught himself the ukulele and guitar, performing around the city’s gambling joints, brothels, and riverboats throughout the 1930s”

The REAL Rock ’n’ Rollers!

 

Now if this isn’t the weirdest selection . . . . but I guess anyone would have their own list but  Country Joe? Aretha, the Queen of Soul - a Rock ’n’ Roller? Sam Cooke, the soul balladeer to beat all in your top twenty Rock ’n’ Rollers?, Todd Rundgren? Well I grant you (just about) but would he make your list of 24? Brian Jones but none of his band makes bar Mick n Keef? No Wyman and Watts? Donovan? much as I love him he's more at home in Folk or Singer Songwriter but Rock ’n’ Roller? If you included 3 Stones but just Roger from the Who how do you leave Pete and the rock ’n’ roll drummer par excellence Keith Moon the Loon ?  I don’t think so!

Still come up with your own top thirty and let me know!

Amen Corner - If Paradise Was Half As Nice • The Immediate Anthology (1969 UK) | Rockasteria

Amen Corner - If Paradise Was Half As Nice • The Immediate Anthology (1969 uk, mod psych blue eyed soul )

 

The band is named after Amen Corner, a small residential area on the edge of Bracknell in Berkshire*  Initially they specialised in a blues and jazz-orientated style, but were steered by their record companies into more commercial pastures.

Their first singles and album appeared on Decca's subsidiary label Deram, but they left at the end of 1968 to join Immediate,  where they were instantly rewarded with a No. 1, "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice" (originally a song by Lucio Battisti) in early 1969,  followed by another top five entry with the Roy Wood composition "Hello Susie".

After recording a live album, Farewell To The Real Magnificent Seven, and a final single, a rather premature cover version of The Beatles' "Get Back",  they disbanded at the end of 1969.

While sax players Alan Jones and Mike Smith went on to form Judas Jump, guitarist and vocalist Andy Fairweather-Low led Dennis Byron (drums), Blue Weaver (organ), Clive Taylor (bass) and Neil Jones (guitar) into a new band, Fair Weather.  The band scored a UK No.6 hit with "Natural Sinner" in 1970 and recorded one album before disbanding a year later.

Fairweather-Low went on to a successful solo career in the 1970s, notably with the top ten hit "Wide Eyed and Legless" (1975);  he became a regular player with Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Roger Waters. He also worked with The Strawbs and the Bee Gees.

Amen Corner's Decca back catalogue has been reissued as part of 'The Collection' series; and their Immediate work, as a double CD, including their singles, live album and material recorded for an unreleased studio album, under the title "If Paradise Was Half as Nice: The Immediate Anthology".
