Chanteur Rhythm 'n' Blues US né Donald
James Randolph, le 24
Mars 1938 à Orangeburg (Caroline du Sud). Il rejoint le groupe Doo Wop The
Rainbows et adopte le nom de scène Don
Covay. Ils enregistrent le single Shirley en 1956, avant de se séparer
l'année suivante. Covay devient le chauffeur de
Little Richard et chante en première
partie de ses spectacles. Son premier single, Bip Bip Bop, qu'il
enregistre sous le pseudonyme Pretty Boy, est produit par
Little Richard. Son single Pony
Time enregistré en 1961 avec The Goodtimers se classe
60e du hit parade pop
établi par le magazine Billboard. Repris par
Chubby Checker, le morceau décroche la 1re
place du Hot 10. Covay enregistre son plus
grand succès, Mercy Mercy, en 1964. Le titre se classe
35e du Hot 100 et
est repris par les Rolling Stones sur l'édition américaine de leur album Out
of Our Heads. En 1968, avec Arthur Conley, Joe Tex et Solomon Burke, il fait
partie du Soul Clan assemblé par Atlantic Records. Don Covay est décédé le 31
Janvier 2015 à New York.
The career of singer Don Covay spanned virtually the
entirety of the R&B spectrum, from the electrifying rock & roll of his earliest
records to the gritty, swaggering deep soul of his most enduring efforts -- the
scope and diversity of his catalog no doubt contributed to his failure to enjoy
consistent commercial success, however, and the general public is probably
better acquainted with his songs than with his own renditions of them. Born
Donald Randolph in Orangeburg, South Carolina on March 24, 1938, Covay was the
son of a Baptist preacher who died when his son was eight. The family soon after
relocated to Washington, D.C., where he and his siblings formed a gospel group
dubbed the Cherry Keys; while in middle school, however, some of Covay's
classmates convinced him to make the leap to secular music, and in 1953 he
joined
the Rainbows, a local doo wop group that previously enjoyed a national smash
with "Mary Lee." By the time Covay joined
the Rainbows the original lineup had long since splintered, and his recorded
debut with the group, 1956's "Shirley," was not a hit. He stuck around for one
more single, "Minnie," before exiting; contrary to legend, this iteration of
the Rainbows did not include either a young Marvin Gaye or Billy Stewart,
although both fledgling singers did occasionally fill in for absent personnel
during live performances.
In the meantime Covay landed a job chauffeuring his idol,
Little Richard, doing double-duty as the hitmaker's opening act;
Richard soon produced Covay's 1957 solo debut "Bip Bip Bip," a blistering
single credited to Pretty Boy. Issued on Atlantic, the record went nowhere and
he next landed at Sue. During the remaining years of the decade
Covay released four more singles for as many labels -- "Switchin' in the
Kitchen" on Big, "Standing in the Doorway" on Blaze, "If You See Mary Lee" on
Firefly and "'Cause I Love You" on Big Top -- none of them hits. He then signed
to major label Columbia, issuing three 1961 singles -- "Shake Wid the Snake,"
the
Ben E. King-soundalike "See About Me," and "Now That I Need You" -- that
showcased the vast eclecticism of his approach, from retro-doo wop to uptown
soul to smoldering R&B. As his recording career refused to catch fire, Covay
increasingly focused on songwriting, partnering with fellow
Rainbows alum John Berry to pen a dance tune called "Pony Time" -- recorded
by Covay for the Arnold label with backing band the Goodtimers, the resulting
1961 single proved to be his first chart hit, inching to the number 60 spot on
the Billboard pop countdown. Equally significant,
Chubby Checker soon after recorded his own version, topping the pop and R&B
charts in early 1962.
Covay resumed his solo career with 1962's "I'm Your Soldier Boy," his lone
effort for Scepter; he then signed to Cameo, scoring another minor chart hit
with "The Popeye Waddle," a novelty record inspired by New Orleans' "popeye"
dance craze. Its 1963 follow-up "Wiggle Wobble" went nowhere, however, as did "Ain't
That Silly" and "The Froog," both cut for Cameo's Parkway subsidiary. At the
same time, however, Covay continued an impressive string of songwriting hits,
including Jerry Butler's "You Can Run (But You Can't Hide)," Gladys Knight & the
Pips' "Letter Full of Tears" and Connie
Francis' "Mr. Twister." He also authored "I'm Gonna Cry," Wilson Pickett's
debut single for Atlantic. Covay next landed at the tiny Rosemart label, where
he entered perhaps the most creatively rewarding period of his career -- his
first single for the label, 1964's "Mercy Mercy," was cut with a then-unknown
Jimi Hendrix on guitar, and went on to crack the Billboard Top 40 after Atlantic
picked it up for distribution. The song remains an R&B classic, and earned even
greater notoriety a year later when the Rolling Stones recorded their own
rendition for the Out of Our Heads LP; even upon cursory listens, it's
impossible not to hear the massive impact of Covay's brash style and bluesy
phrasing on Mick Jagger's own frontman persona.
In the meantime, Covay squeaked back into the Hot 100 with "Take This Hurt Off
Me," graduating to Atlantic on a full-time basis with 1965's "The Boomerang."
The latter didn't chart at all, but the move to Atlantic gave him access to
collaborators including Memphis legends like keyboardist Booker T. Jones and
guitarist Steve Cropper, and his music achieved an even more powerfully soulful
edge. "Please Do Something" fell just shy of the R&B Top 20, and its follow-up "See
Saw" proved Covay's biggest hit to date, reaching the R&B Top Five and coming in
at number 44 on the pop charts. By now the likes of Etta James ("Watch Dog" and
"I'm Gonna Take What He's Got") and Otis Redding ("Think About It" and "Demonstration")
were recording his material, but he could never quite maintain the same momentum
as a performer, in 1966 releasing three brilliant Atlantic singles -- "Sookie
Sookie," "You Put Something on Me" and "Somebody's Got to Love You" -- that all
failed to chart. The relatively minor "Shingaling '67" at least made it as far
as the R&B Top 50, but both "'40 Days-40 Nights"" and "You've Got Me on Your
Critical List" sank without a trace. And even though Aretha Franklin scored one
of her biggest and most enduring hits in 1968 with "Chain of Fools," written by
Covay some 15 years earlier, his own recording that same year went nowhere.
Covay attempted to reignite his flagging career by organizing the Soul Clan, a
Murderers' Row of R&B greats that also included Solomon Burke, Joe Tex,
Ben E. King and Arthur Conley. The supergroup's lone Atlantic effort "Soul
Meeting" was a minor pop it, reaching the R&B Top 40 in late 1968. After two
more failed solo singles, "I Stole Some Love" and "Sweet Pea," Covay teamed with
former
Shirelles guitarist Joe Richardson and folkie John Hammond in the Jefferson
Lemon Blues Band, an odd stab at underground blues-rock that yielded a 1969 LP,
The House of Blue Lights and hit number 43 on the R&B chart with the single
"Black Woman." He left Atlantic for Janus in 1970, releasing a second Jefferson
Lemon Blues Band LP, Different Strokes for Different Folks, before signing to
Mercury in 1972 as an A&R exec. There he also began work on Superdude, the
blistering 1973 album that many groove-heads regard as his masterpiece -- the
album yielded a pair of hits, the pop smash "I Was Checkin' Out While She Was
Checkin' In" and "Somebody's Been Enjoying My Home."
The gospel-inspired non-LP single "It's Better to Have (And Don't Need)"
returned Covay to the charts in 1974, followed a year later by "Rumble in the
Jungle," a novelty effort inspired by the now-legendary heavyweight bout pairing
Muhammad Ali against George Foreman. He then migrated to Philadelphia
International, teaming with famed producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff for
1976's Travelin' in Heavy Traffic -- neither "Right Time for Love" nor the title
track charted, and apart from two indie records, 1977's U-Von effort "Back to
the Roots" and 1980s Newman release "Badd Boy," it seemed Covay's recording
career was over. He didn't resurface until 1986, contributing backing Vocals to
the Rolling Stones' Dirty Work -- in 1993, the Stones' Ron Wood repaid the favor,
joining the likes of Iggy Pop and Todd Rundgren for the tribute LP Back to the
Streets: Celebrating the Music of Don Covay. That same year, Covay was honored
by the Rhythm & Blues Foundation with one of its prestigious Pioneer Awards, but
he was unable to attend the awards ceremony due to the lingering effects of a
stroke he suffered in 1992.
He
gradually regained his health, however, and in 2000 issued
Ad
Lib, his first new studio album in nearly a quarter century
