時代の嬰児としてのソウル

2011年3月8日に日本でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Billy Paulは「Me and Mrs.Jones」の歌い手であることしか知らず、ソウルにはそれが流行った時代の微かな記憶だけしか持たぬままにこのCDを聴いた。それ故に、随分と当惑しながら聴いた、と言うのが正直なところだった。大仰なヴォーカルとダイナミックに過ぎる伴奏。その中に入ってゆくのにはかなり時間を要した。

…だが、やがて一曲いっきょくを噛み締めることで、それらの曲の持ち味が耳に届いてくる。これはバブル前のアフロアメリカン・ミュージックとして、かつて日夜耳にしていた音楽そのものではないか。大仰なのは時代それ自体が過剰にひた走っていた、そんな世界の産物だったからだ。

「It's too late」や「Your song」といったお馴染みのナンバー、更に幾度となく聴き返した「Me and…」には、ラジオの洋楽番組に背伸びして耳を傾けていた少年時代を想起させられ、目が潤まされる。これは過剰さが美徳であった、そんな日々に対するゴージャスに過ぎる鎮魂歌か。そんな思いを抱きながら、この晩成のソウルシンガーの歌声を聴き返してみるのだ。

Billy Paul was far more than a one hit wonder.

2017年2月18日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

360 Degrees of Billy Paul is one of the top albums of the early 70's renaissance of black music and is as essential as What's Going On, Hot Buttered Soul, Talking Book, Superfly or Across 110th Street for anyone who appreciates the music of the era. These albums were conceived as a whole and are the true setting of the hits they contained. Greatest Hits are good for taking in a singer's career but it's worth getting the original albums in these cases (and others) as well. Billy Paul will be ever remembered for his mega hit, me and Mrs. Jones, but he was no mere one hit wonder who happened to find a great song. He was a fantastically talented singer in a blended jazz/R&B style who could seemingly handle any material effortlessly.

Billy Paul had grown up in a music-loving home, learning singing from his mother's record collection of artists like Ella Fitzferald, Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, Nancy Wilson and others. He had formal voice training and sang in groups like the Flamingos. Like many artists he did a few singles for small labels that went nowhere, sang on a few tours by major artists and appeared in small clubs. It was in one of these clubs that he was discovered by Kenny Gamble who invited him to join his new label, Philadelphia International. He made the right choice. Gamble and Huff had just signed a distribution-promotion deal with Clive Davis at Columbia Records that gave them enough clout to soon become the next big thing in R&B by the early 70's. They had a vision for Billy to blend his natural jazz sensibility with an updated R&B sound. They also had the patience to develop him through two early albums in 1968 and 1970 before he finally hit in late 1972.

What a hit that was. Me and Mrs. Jones totally dominated the charts during the Holidays reaching #1 on both R&B and Pop. It was #1 Pop for three weeks until it was finally knocked out by the Season's other mega hit, Carly Simon's You're So Vain. It was a perfect song for cold December nights. As soon as it came on it was like you just stepped into a cozy club where Billy was singing on stage with a beautifully tight combo.and some strings in the background. The sound was a bit retro but the lyrics by Cary Gilbert (Don't Leave Me This Way) were very 70's, too risque for earlier eras. It was an instant classic, absolutely timeless in its way, recipient of the Grammy for Best R&B Song, an RIAA Gold Record and eventually an international hit. (the Cd has been beautifully remastered using Sony's original masters and includes a bonus live performance of his big hit from London).

The album is excellent. It opens with Brown Baby, the only song on the album on the album to get the full Philly International treatment: electric guitar, horns, keyboard, chorus and strings. This was the multi-layered new urban sound forged by isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack, Marvin Gaye and others interpreted by Philadelphia's Gamble and Huff. There are some O'jays brass rhythm accents and the smooth Philly Strings that would eventually form a key ingredient in disco. When Curtis Mayfield used strings at the end of Little Child Running Wild they are scored like classical music, a string quartet commenting on the bleak lyrics; Gamble and Huff's strings were based in show music and added a sophisticated gloss to a song. Most of the songs were written by Gamble and Huff with Bunny Sigler contributing here and there and most of them are very hopeful and optimistic. these songwriters were committed to the advancement of the black community and those concerns showed up in many of their songs, though not usually the singles.

Billy's follow up to me and Mrs. Jones is an exception. Am I Black Enough For You was felt by Billy to be too confrontational to be a single and he wanted something more like a sequel to Mrs. Jones. But both Gamble and Huff and Clive Davis wanted it. Billy was right. Most stations wouldn't play it and it only made #29 R&B and #79 Pop. It's odd because it's a totally optimistic song with positive lyrics about the black community advancing together. It also has a really hot arrangement with a Stevie Wonder style keyboard. I'm Gonna Make It This Time is similarly optimistic while I'm Just a Prisoner is even darker and bleaker than Living For the City.

There are three songs made hits by others: It's Too Late (Carole King), Let's Stay Together (Al Green) and Your Song (Elton John). Note I didn't say covers. Billy didn't cover songs, he totally re-imagined them much like Isaac Hayes. It's Too Late is sung in a jazzy style popularized a few years later by George Benson. Let's Stay Together is slow and spacey, almost like a dream; you can get lost in this version. Elton John did Your Song as a shy and bashful song but billy makes it totally joyful. Billy's voice was an instrument and he really knew how to use it in each number.

Billy Paul never had another hit like Mrs. Jones and that's a shame because he had what it takes to be a major artist. Many blame Philly International's choice of singles. He did manage to strike a blow against all the label shenanigans of the 60's and 70's. From R&B to Surf Music it was the same story: the artists basically made nothing while managers, producers, executives and owners made tons. This was true of reputable big labels as well as the little independents (not all, of course). there were a multitude of "deductions" for pressings, promotion, etc. that always left the artist penniless. In 2000 Billy sued Gamble & Huff, Philadelphia International and Sony for 27 years of unpaid royalties. They claimed they only owed him $27,000 and he owed them $314,000 for "expenses". He won a settlement of $500,000 and set off future lawsuits from the O'Jays and many Motown groups. this set a legal precedent that ended most of these dishonest label practices.

Billy Paul died in 2016. May he rest in peace.

A True Classic!

2007年12月1日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Some of the songs here reflect the "message soul" that was popular in the early 70's, namely Brown Baby, I'm Just A Prisoner & Am I Black Enough for You. These songs are a great trip back to the past, however the rest of the CD marries a great jazz singer with some beautiful R&B stylings that will leave you speechless! Billy is more than a singer...he's an amazing interpretor. He uses his voice like Miles Davis used a trumpet. His vocal sounds just seem to flow out of him. He turns a simple ballad like Elton's Your Song into a soulful, breath-taking, uptempo masterpiece. He makes Let's Stay Together & It's Too Late his own also. This is an amazing album from an artist who should have been as big as any R&B superstar of the 70's.
