Billy Lee Riley
Guten Abend,
es gibt eine neue "Billy Lee Riley"-Mailingliste, die schon einige interessante Infos vermittelt hat:
Gruß, Popmuseum |
Nicht hauen :roll:
aber WER ist bzw war Billy Lee Riley? :gruebel: Und was hatte er mit Elvis zu tun, abgesehen von der Tatsache, daß sie offensichtlich beide bei SUN unter Vertrag waren? |
Schön, dass du das fragst! Habe mich nicht getraut! :grins:
|
Billy Lee Riley sagt mir was, den kenne ich. Aber was er mit Elvis zu schaffen hat, ist mir auch fremd. Warten wir auf den Threaderöffner, ob er uns aufklärt.
Derweil Billy sein wohl bekanntester Song:

...hier was zu Billy Lee Riley !!:cool::grins: |
hallo
Riley hat eine Coverversion von I`ve Got A thing About You Baby noch vor Elvis gemacht.

Jetzt war ich wohl zu lange abwesend (Ich schau hier nur sporadisch vorbei, weshalb ich nun die Option der E-Mail-Benachrichtigung aktiviert habe). - Aber die Frage, was Riley mit Elvis zu tun hat, wurde inzwischen nicht nur durch den Hinweis auf den Wikipedia-Artikel von mehreren sehr kompetent beantwortet (Da bin ich ja eigentlich gar nicht mehr nötig. Sehr schön!).

Billy Lee + Elvis
Die beste Platte von Billy Lee ist sicherlich Trouble bound! Es gibt sogar eine Elvis-Bootleg wo sie als Elvis verkauft wird. Und Billy Lee war auch öfters bei Elvis eingeladen. Sicherlich haben sie gemeinsam gejammt. Er hatte das Pech, das Sam Phiolips sein ganzes Geld für das Marketing von Jerry Lee Lewis ausgab und für andere Sun-Musiker nichts mehr über blieb. Warum sind denn alle in den 60er Jahren davon gelaufen?

Ausführlicher Nachruf
Sun Records' 'lost giant' Billy Lee Riley dies at 75
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news...riley-dead-75/ |
remembering riley
quelle: elvisunlimited http://www.elvisunlimited.com/news.a...9&news_id=1506 Elvis Unlimited is sad to report that at 5:20 AM CST on August 2, 2009, Sun Recording artist Billy Lee Riley passed away. Bill Lee Riley has been battling stage four colon cancer since May. His cancer had spread to his bones. Billy Lee was admitted to St. Bernard's Medical Center in Jonesboro,Arkansas on Saturday. His wife Joyce was shocked by his death early Sunday morning at 5:20 AM. But says he went peacefully. She also said they did not see the end coming. Especially since he had been feeling better lately. Billy Lee was 75 years old. Billy Lee Riley was born on October 5, 1933 in Pocahontas, Arkansas. His father was a sharecropper and the family lived on plantations. Billy Lee grew up picking cotton with black farm workers where he learned the blues and to play guitar on the farm. We didn't see color. "We lived together, we played together, we visited each other, all on one big farm with a bunch of integrated people." Billy Lee recalled in an interview for Rocktober Magazine. His schooling was limited to two or three months a year due to sharecropping which he did until the age of 13 when his family left the farm.At the age of 15 he joined the US Army. After servicing four year in the US Army, in 1955 Riley met Jack Clement who at the time was starting Fernwood Records. Riley met Clement who was hitch hiking in Arkansas. The men began to talk and next thing he knew, Billy Lee was recording for Jack in Memphis. He recorded "Trouble Bound" and "Rock With Me Baby". Although his records were not released under the Fernwood label. Clement took them to Sam Phillips at Sun to master them and Sam bought them. They were released under the Sun label. Billy Lee's first hit was "Flyin' Saucers Rock and Roll" - "I Want You Baby" released February 23, 1957 (Sun 260) after which he recorded "Red Hot" - "Pearly Lee" released September 30, 1957 (Sun 277) both with backing piano by Jerry Lee Lewis. Riley formed a band called "The Little Green Men". Riley and his Little Green Men were the main Sun studio band which played on many Sun recordings. The band consisted of Riley, Roland James, J. M. Van Eaton, Marvin Pepper, and Jimmy Wilson, and later joined by Martin Willis. In a Rocktober Magazine interview, Billy Lee said this about Elvis, "Elvis took a lot of flack, man. Most of these other guys wanted to sound like Elvis, so they say "Yeah, we took it too." I think a lot of that, just like a whole lot of history from the 50's is so distorted right now. It's hard to find the real truth. Everybody's telling stories "Aw we took a lot of flack, they didn't want us playing black music." I never did see that happen. The only one I ever did hear of that happening to was Elvis. I didn't see anybody else having problems with it and I doubt if they did. Elvis said he had problems with it, so to be like Elvis, everybody else claimed to have problems too. " Billy Lee blames Sam Phillips for his lack of major success under the Sun label. In a Rocktober Magazine interview he said, "Sam didn't promote it, he sabotaged the record. He dropped my record for "Great Balls Of Fire." That's why I had my greatest disagreement with him. Of course, we still worked together after that, but it never was the same. But yeah, he had deliberately quit selling my record - right in front of me, with me standing there listening to him - he canceled my record. So when he did that, I lost respect for him. He just forgot everybody but except Jerry Lee Lewis, and that doesn't make me feel bad at Jerry Lee! That had nothin' to do with how I felt about Jerry Lee. Whatever I felt about Jerry Lee would be personal. That's what caused me to leave Sun. The same thing with Johnny Cash and everybody else. At one time, they've all made the same statement. Yet Sam denied it. And it backfired on him dropping all of us for Jerry Lee when he went over to Europe and lost his popularity." In the early sixties, he moved to Los Angeles and worked with various artists including Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, and the Beach Boys. In 1969, Billy Lee returned to Sun Records which had been sold and worked under Shelby Singleton. By the 70's he returned to normal life in Arkansas and had a very minor role in music. In 1992, he was rediscovered by Bob Dylan. Dylan considered Billy Lee a hero. In 1997, Billy Lee's album, Hot Damn was considered for a Grammy. In 2005, he had a slip and fall accident at a local store and suffered a broken hip. He had two surgeries. In 2006, he released a country CD titled, Hillbilly Rockin Man. He played the Memphis In May celebration in 2007 in Memphis, TN. His final performance came in June of this year, where he appeared with his old Sun label mate Sonny Burgess during an event at the Rock and Soul Museum in Memphis, TN. Riley is survived by his wife, Joyce, their daughter Angela Johns, and three children from his first marriage, Erin Riley, Wendy Kennedy, and Darron Riley. Funeral arrangements are pending. On August 30th, there will be a memorial show in Newport, Arkansas featuring Sonny Burgess and the Pacers, WS Holland and his band, Travis Wammack, Carl Mann, Smoochy Smith, Ace Cannon and his band, Jr. Rogers, Warren Crow, J. M. VanEaton, Dale Hawkins, C. W. Gattin, and the Blues Brothers Band. Megan Murphy - Exclusively for elvisunlimited.com |

Nachrufe
In den englischsprachigen Zeitungen gibt es heute ausführlichere Nachrufe.
Der Nachruf in der "Washington Post" zeigt Riley mit jener "Gibson Blueshawk" deretwegen er meine Aufmerksamkeit erregt und ich mir sein großartiges Bluesalbum "hot damn!" gekauft habe. In der Folge haben mich auch seine früheren Aufnahmen interessiert und nach den ersten Takten von "Trouble Bound" gab's für mich kein Halten mehr. http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-...9080302831.jpg BILLY LEE RILEY, 75 Sun Records Rockabilly Musician http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/03/AR2009080302828.html Billy Lee Riley dies at 75; rockabilly pioneer did 'Flyin' Saucers Rock and Roll' http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-billy-lee-riley4-2009aug04,0,6424973.story Sun Records star Billy Lee Riley dies at 75 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gi-ArLQ5iG2zfidVz-IIdAWscSOQD99ROCR81 Sun Records star Billy Lee Riley dies at 75; hits included 'Flyin' Saucers Rock & Roll' http://www.kfsm.com/sns-ap-us-obit-riley,0,7162610.story |

Wer will, kann sich unter dem folgenden Link Billy Lee Rileys großartig vorgetragenes Lied "Speed Lovers" anhören (und downloaden), das Riley für den gleichnamigen Schundfilm (1968) aufgenommen hat.

Hab' eben erst gesehen, dass Mitte November 2010 zwei "neue" Riley-Alben auf CD erschienen sind.
Bei YouTube gibt's Seh- und Hörproben: Mich freuen unter anderem die Bilder, wo Riley mit Bob Dylan bzw. einer kirschroten "Gibson Blueshawk" zu sehen ist, die eben auch meine Gitarre ist, weshalb ich Riley überhaupt erst wahrgenommen habe: "God works in wondrous ways", singt Loudon Wainwright in seinem Lied "Red Guitar". :-) Billy Riley - The Outtakes BCD 17122 BR.mpg

Schon bestellt. *freu* |
