Chanteur
Rhythm 'n' Blues US né le 1er Avril 1927 à Houston (Texas). Amos
Milburn est mort le 3 Janvier 1980 à Houston (Texas).
Boogie
piano master Amos Milburn was born in Houston, and he died there a short 52
years later. In between, he pounded out some of the most hellacious boogies of
the postwar era, usually recording in Los Angeles for Aladdin Records and
specializing in good-natured upbeat romps about booze and its effects (both
positive and negative) that proved massive hits during the immediate pre-rock
era.
The self-taught 88s ace made a name for himself as "the He-Man Martha Raye"
around Houston before joining the Navy and seeing overseas battle action in
World War II. When he came out of the service, Milburn played in various Lone
Star niteries before meeting the woman whose efforts would catapult him to
stardom.
Persistent manager Lola Anne Cullum reportedly barged into Aladdin boss Eddie
Mesner's hospital room, toting a portable disc machine with Milburn's demo all
cued up. The gambit worked -- Milburn signed with Aladdin in 1946. His first
date included a thundering "Down the Road Apiece" that presaged the imminent
rise of rock & roll. But Milburn was capable of subtler charms too, crooning
mellow blues ballads in a Charles Brown-influenced style (the two would later
become close friends, playing together frequently).
The first of Milburn's 19 Top Ten R&B smashes came in 1948 with his party
classic "Chicken Shack Boogie," which paced the charts and anointed his band
with a worthy name (the Aladdin Chickenshackers, natch). A velvet-smooth "Bewildered"
displayed the cool after-hours side of Milburn's persona as it streaked up the
charts later that year, but it was rollicking horn-driven material such as "Roomin'
House Boogie" and "Sax Shack Boogie" that Milburn was renowned for. Milburn's
rumbling 88s influenced a variety of famous artists, notably
Fats Domino.
With the ascent of "Bad, Bad Whiskey" to the peak of the charts in 1950, Milburn
embarked on a string of similarly boozy smashes: "Thinking and Drinking," "Let
Me Go Home Whiskey," "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer" (an inebriating round
John Lee Hooker apparently enjoyed!), and "Good Good Whiskey" (his last hit in
1954). Alcoholism later brought the pianist down hard, giving these numbers a
grimly ironic twist in retrospect. Milburn's national profile rated a series of
appearances on the Willie Bryant-hosted mid-'50s TV program Showtime at the
Apollo (where he gave out with a blistering "Down the Road Apiece").
Aladdin stuck with Milburn long after the hits ceased, dispatching him to New
Orleans in 1956 to record with the vaunted studio crew at Cosimo's. There he
recut "Chicken Shack Boogie" in a manner so torrid that it's impossible to
believe it didn't hit (tenor saxist Lee Allen and drummer Charles "Hungry"
Williams blast with atomic power as Milburn happily grunts along with his
pounding boogie piano solo). In 1957, he left Aladdin for good.
Milburn contributed a fine offering to the R&B Yuletide canon in 1960 with his
swinging "Christmas (Comes but Once a Year)" for King. Berry Gordy gave him a
comeback forum in 1962, issuing an album on Motown predominated by remakes of
his old hits that doesn't deserve its extreme rarity today (even Little Stevie
Wonder pitched in on harp for the sessions).
Nothing could jump start the pianist's fading career by then, though. His health
deteriorated to the point where a string of strokes limited his mobility and his
left leg was eventually amputated. Not too long after, one of the greatest
pioneers in the history of R&B was dead.
