I was thinking about that when I started reading this thread I could not remember what show it was, I was thinking flip wilson ← There was another appearance on PBS on a show called "Soul". Gladys and the Pips did at least a 1/2 hour show backed by King Curtis and a band that included Chuck Rainey, Cornell Dupree, and Bernard Purdie. It was around 1970. This was a short lived series on PBS - maybe 3 or 4 shows. It was broadcast on Sunday nights on Channel 13 in NYC at 10:00 or maybe 11:00 pm. If any video survives it would make one hell of a DVD release series. I remember another show featured Junior Walker.

Gladys Knight is one of the best. Note that Motown released her singles on the Soul label subsidiary. I'm trying to think of who else was on that, but at the moment all I'm coming up with is Junior Walker - another atypical Motowner. Go back a little earlier and check her originals of "Every Beat Of My Heart" and "Letter Full Of Tears" (She later redid these on Soul) on Fury (or one of Bobby Robinson's other early labels). She was great right from the start.

GEEZ - I would LOVE to hear that tape !!! I've had that Jim Robinson lp since it came out - and it's always been in "rotation" - it's a great album.

Definitely go to as good doctor - don't wait. Try and get reccomendations on good orthopedic Doctors. You really have to find out if somehow a disc is involved.

OK....I checked. The Sparrow story is not in Eddie Condon's book. I'll have to look further on that - I know it was anthologized in somthing I read and probably have. The main character of "The Sound" is named RED.

Yeah...I think the main character is named Sparrow in both cases, although they are two unrelated works. There was another Bird novelization that I can't remember the title of where the character was named "Eagle".

I think it could have been included in "Eddie Condon's Treasury Of Jazz" book, which is an anthology and shouldn't be too hard to find at ebay or Powell's books.

Apropos Ross Russell - there was a novel by him written years before "Bird Lives". It was called "The Sound". The main character of the book was "Red"" and the book was a novelization of Bird's career. Russell's writing worked better as a novelist that a biographer - the book was entertaining.

Technique and actual sound meld and that is what makes a bassist identifialble. Bassists are very vulnerable to modern recording techniques and a recording engineer can often obscure a bassists sound.
