Rebel Rousers

Product Information

Cliff Bennett will be on vocals, supported by a five star line up with Lars Lundquist on lead guitar, Pete Pritchard on bass, Geoff Nicholls on drums, Dave Forristal on keys, Bob Lovett on trumpet, and Aaron Liddard and Damian Hand (sax). They’d been gigging since 1958 and recording since ’61. The saxes didn’t appear immediately but were in place by ’63. Early influences included Sun artists Jerry Lee Lewis and Charlie Rich – Lonely Weekends would appear as a Bennett flip in ’68 and they covered Jerry on their second single in ’61. The innovative soul musicians, who are known for hits such as ‘Got To Get You Into My Life’ and ‘One Way Love’, were the first London band to be signed by Beatles manager Brian Epstein and first British band to be signed to the Motown label.

Another from the second LP. Probably not technically as good as the original but it works so well in the context of the album. Cliff was easily the most consistent and, arguably the best, R&B cum Soul Shouter produced by these islands. I’d even go further and state that Cliff was better than any white singer anywhere operating in the R&B field in the mid sixties. Pearson, Paul (25 July 2018). "The Top 100 Cover Songs: 34.

Unfortunately, a competing version on Decca truer to the demo was issued by Garry Mills, a more connected and well-known name (e. g. he was Nat Gonella’s nephew and had scored hits for Rank) and the sales were split in mid-1961, with Mills taking chart “honors” at #39. Philips’ “advertising”, or paucity thereof, did their artists no favors. Cherokees review in Disc, p.10: Mills review in Disc, p.11: Decca ad in Disc, p.10. Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers are a 1960s British rhythm and blues, soul and beat group who had two Top 10 hits with “One Way Love” (No. 9 UK, 1964) and “ Got to Get You into My Life” (No. 6 UK, 1966). Finally, Dean Sterling & The Teen-Beats’ “Lost Love” (Pye B, 1961) is a wistful, obscure gem that unlike its oft-anthologized top side “Send Me A Girl” is truer to the Buddy spirit, I feel. Blood, Sweat, and Tears released the song on their 1975 album New City, with the single reaching no. 62 in the US. [58]

Chas Hodges – bass (born Charles Nicholas Hodges, 28 December 1943, Edmonton, North London, England died 22 September 2018) From the first EP. There were three EPs released and none of the songs on them appeared on any single or LP from Cliff and the boys. And, yes, this was the great Larry Williams number and Cliff’s version was recorded before the take from the Stones (on Out Of Our Heads). I love both the original and the Stones more metallic effort but Cliff took the song closer to up tempo soul which is where I felt the original was intended to be targeted. Williams, of course, did move into the soul arena both with, and without, Johnny “Guitar” Watson. Note: On bootleg recordings of the Beatles performing at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, a performance of " Hully Gully" (recorded the same night as a Beatles set) is often mistakenly included as a Beatles performance.

I’m also rather inclined towards the Dean Sterling/Teen-beats Lost Love. Good usage of the Doo Wop Progression, endearing semi-unplugged arrangement and one of those teen pop records which belied the rule of most/all teen pop being rubbish. And Dean doesn’t really play up the Holly thing. Connie Evingson covered the song on her album Let it Be Jazz: Connie Evingson Sings the Beatles [60] Everett, Walter (1999).

They recorded several singles with record producer Joe Meek that were released by Parlophone. Bennett continued recording for Parlophone, issuing cover versions of “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me” and “Got My Mojo Working”. Whether those whoops and hollers from Cliff during the break and at the close were entirely suited to the barren existence of the singer since she’d left him to his three rooms etc., I’m a tad unsure, but they don’t detract from the atmosphere for me.
