Magic Slim & the Teardrops proudly uphold the custom of what a Chicago blues band should heavy like. Their emphasis on ensemble playing and a whopping repertoire that allegedly ranges upward of a few one C songs give the eminent guitarist's live performances an adorable ad-lib quality: You never cognise what obscurity he'll overstretch out of his outsized lid next.


Born Morris Holt on August 7, 1937, the Mississippi native was forced to reach up playing the piano when he lost his small finger in a cotton noose mishap. Boyhood chum Magic Sam bestowed his magic soubriquet on the budding guitarist (and times change as Slim's no yearner slender). Holt first base came to Chicago in 1955, merely establish that breaking into the competitive local blues circumference was a tough proposition. Although he managed to guarantee a steady gig for a while with Robert Perkins' band (Mr. Pitiful & the Teardrops), Slim wasn't good enough to onward motion into the upper berth ranks of Chicago bluesdom.


So he retreated to Mississippi for a spell to perfect his chops. When he returned to Chicago in 1965 (with brothers Nick and Lee Baby as his new rhythm section), Slim's detractors were quickly forced to change their tune. Utilizing the Teardrops discover and belongings onto his Magic Slim handle, the big man cut a yoke of 45s for Ja-Wes and established himself as a redoubtable strength on the South side. His guitar work on dripped vibrato-enriched spitefulness and his hollering vocals were as ill-humoured and sturdy as anyone's on the setting.


All of a sudden, the recording floodgates opened up for the Teardrops in 1979 after they cut quartet tunes for Alligator's Surviving Chicago Blues anthology series. Since then, a series of nails-tough albums for Rooster Blues, Alligator, and a skid for the Austrian Wolf logo experience fattened Slim's discography considerably. The Teardrops weathered a potentially annihilative change when longtime second guitarist John Primer cut his have major-label debut for Code Blue, merely with Slim and bass-wielding brother Nick Holt still on display board, it's doubtful the quartet's boilers suit legal volition change dramatically in Primer's absence. In 1996, Slim gestural with Blind Pig and has cut some of the most-celebrated albums of his vocation, including Scufflin' in 1996, Pitch-dark Tornado in 1998, Snakebite in 2000, and Blue Magic in 2002. A alive recording taped in 2005 at the Sierra Nevada Brewery was released that same class on both DVD and CD as Anything Can Happen. 2006 proverb the release of Atomic number 50 Pan Alley, a set of recordings made between 1992 and 1998 in Chicago and Europe, on Austria's Wolf Records.

Although he produced only a smattering of tracks of renown and disappeared into obscurity most as cursorily as he had emerged from it, Manny Parrish is still one of the most important and influential figures in American electronic saltation euphony. Helping to lay the fundament of electro, hip-hop, freestyle, and techno, as well as the gobs of subgenres to break away turned from those, Parrish introduced the aesthetic of European electronic pop to the American clubhouse scene by combine the plugged-in disco-funk of Giorgio Moroder and the man-machine music of Kraftwerk with the beefed-up rhythms and cut'n'mix glide slope of nascent rap. As a result, tracks like "Hip-hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)" and "Boogie Down Bronx" were period-defining plant that provided the introductory genetic material for everyone from Run-D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys to Autechre and Andrea Parker -- and they stay undisputed classics of early hip-hop and electro to this day. A native New Yorker, Parrish was a extremity of the extended family of glam-chasers and freakazoids that converged nightly at Studio 54. His nickname, Man, first appeared in Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, and his early live shows at Bronx hip-hop clubs were glasses of lights, glister, and pyrotechny that drew as much from the Warhol mystique as from the Cold Crush Brothers.


Influenced by the electronic experiments of Klaus Nomi and Brian Eno as well as by Kraftwerk, Parrish together with Raúl Rodríguez recorded their best-known work in a bantam studio apartment sometimes shared with Afrika Bambaataa, whose own sessions with Arthur Baker and John Robie produced a number of classics match to Parrish's own, including "Wildstyle," "Look for the Perfect Beat," and the illustrious "Major planet Rock." What distinguished "Hip-hop Be Bop," still, was its lack of vocals and the extremely broad spectrum of popularity it gained in the club fit, from ghetto breakdance halls to uptown clubs like Danceteria and the Funhouse. After he ascertained a pirated written matter of his euphony being played by a local DJ, Parrish establish his way to the offices of the Importe pronounce (a foot soldier of popular dance imprint Sugarscoop), with whom he inked his first handle. He released his self-titled LP curtly afterward, and the record album went on to sell all over iI 1000000 copies worldwide. Following a period of blow out, Parrish recorded and remixed tracks for Michael Jackson, Boy George, Gloria Gaynor, and Hi-NRG group Man 2 Man, among others, and served as road director for the Village People. While Parrish's subsequent material achieved nowhere nigh the success or creative toss of his earlier work out, he continued to record from his Brooklyn studio and has been a patronise DJ at New York S&M clubs. His second base LP, Dreamtime, appeared on Strictly Rhythm in 1997.






Sarah Jessica Parker - Parker Tried To Quit Sex And The City

Actress SARAH JESSICA PARKER begged her agent to terminate her SEX AND THE CITY contract after signing up for the role.

The star was enjoying life dipping in and out of various New York projects and baulked at the prospect of being tied to a TV show for an entire series.

Her anxiety reached such a critical point, she called her agent in a panic and urged him to talk Sex And The City bosses out of recruiting her.

She says, "I had a wonderful life in New York. I was doing theatre and movies, had plenty of free time and regularly saw my friends - so I was in a panic when I was told that I'd need to be around for regular filming.

"No one could calm me down. I kept thinking, 'What can I do to escape?' I'd call my agent, begging, 'You have to get me out of this. I don't care what it takes. Even if I'm broke on the street, I can't do Sex And The City as a series.'"

However, she's relieved she didn't act on her irrational fears, following the show's phenomenal success.

She adds, "The result, of course, is that they got me on the set for the first day and I never looked back."
