Saturday Matinee – Nina Simone, The High Numbers & GA-20
1987 claymation video by Aardman Animations features the voice and piano of Eunice Kathleen Waymon, aka gospel / jazz / R&B / soul singer Nina Simone, with a song from 1958. She changed her name to elude family members and play “the devil’s music” in an Atlantic City nightclub. The management told her that she would have to sing to her own accompaniment, and that launched her career as a jazz vocalist.
“What’s your band’s name?”
“The High Numbers.”
“The who?”
“Yes.”
The Detours, a British group formed in the early 1960s, changed their name to The High Numbers and recorded a few tracks before reverting to a previous band name, The Who. That’s a young Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon covering Jesse Hill‘s Ooh Poo Pah Doo (1960) and The Miracles‘ I Gotta Dance To Keep From Crying (1963).
GA-20 covers Hound Dog Taylor‘s She’s Gone (1971). Great authentic electric blues cranked out with respect.
Too far south to see this weekend’s aurorae, and I hope everyone who can survives the EMT barrage. I’ll take the event as a good omen, and yet another damn good reason to do some porch sitting tomorrow.
See you then.
