king ubu Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Rev B. (Rev'rand B.) - real person? He wrote lyrics to some songs performed by Les McCann (I'm currently playing "Second Movement" and there's "Carry on Brother", a partial follow-up to "Compared to What" that morphs into a funky thing with choir and gets boring ... it was written by Harris and "Rev'rand B." according to the info provided). There's a Discogs site that calls him a songwriter (and thus suggests real person I'd tend to assume) but that may just be the result of the credits culled together? https://www.discogs.com/artist/2183706-Rev-B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that list long ago (it was mentioned earlier in this thread). Thanks for bringing it up again. I had a quick look right now, and one error (or omission) I had noticed then and that still stands now is at the Hen Gates pseudonym: No idea who that "Jimmy Forman" was that this list alludes to but the ONE Hen Gates that many will know from the classic (of sorts) "Let's Go Dancing to Rock and Roll" LP (Masterseal MSLP 5005) credited to Hen Gates & HIs Gators actualy is a pseudonym for FREDDIE MITCHELL who saw some of his recordings for the Derby label recycled here. Since I mentioned that item some years ago I've come across more info made available elsewhere on the internet: http://bebopwinorip.blogspot.de/2010/03/hen-gates-and-his-gaters-lets-all-dance.html Edited February 2, 2018 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Mtume's stepfather: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Mtume Quote James Forman, born and raised in South Philadelphia. He is the son of jazz saxophonist Jimmy Heath,[1] however he was raised by his stepfather, a Philadelphia local jazz pianist, James "Hen Gates" Forman.
