Hallo,
Freddy Robinson hat einen Rockabilly-Titel herausgebracht:
auf Limelight 3005 vom Juni ‘58 mit “Five Feet Of Lovin’”, der Stimme nach könnte Freddy Robinson auch schwarz sein, und möglicherweise ist er auch identisch mit jenem Freddy Robinson, der in den 60er Jahren als Gitarrist Soul-Aufnahmen in Chicago machte und später in der Begleitband von Ray Charles mitwirkte?
Blues guitarist Freddy Robinson, who converted to Islam during the 1970s and took the name Abu Talib, died on Thursday, October 8th, 2009 of cancer. Talib was 70 years old at the time of his death.
Born in Memphis, young Fred Robinson became enamored of the blues after accompanying his grandfather to area juke-joints; too young to go inside, he would watch the musicians through the window. Robinson began playing a one-string "diddly bow" at the age of nine, and saved enough money to buy his first guitar at age thirteen.
Like many Southern bluesmen before him, Robinson moved to Chicago, where he earned a name as a trusted guitarist. Robinson played bass and guitar on many of Little Walter's Chess recordings in 1959 and 60. Through the years, Robinson also played with Howlin' Wolf, Bobby "Blue" Bland, John Mayall, and Ray Charles, among others, bringing his jazz-influenced guitar tone to their sessions and live performances.
Robinson began his recording career in 1962, with albums released by a number of labels, including his hometown's Stax Records. As a respected songwriter, Robinson penned a number of blues standards, including "Black Fox," "At the Drive-In," "Bluesology" and the blues instrumental, "After Hours." More recently, as Abu Talib, he had stayed busy performing almost up to his death, and had recorded a jingle for Southwest Airlines. He will be missed by his family and blues fans across the world.
