Chanteur Rock 'n' Roll US né Eskew Reeder Jr.
le 20 Novembre 1935 à Greenville
(Caroline du Sud). Esquerita a écrit et chanté quelques-uns des plus excitants Rock 'n' Roll. Sa courte carrière (1958/59) n'a pas connu de succès à l'époque. Il possédait un registre de voix plus faible que celui de
Little Richard, et ses intonations et hurlements l'ont fait confondre avec celui-ci. Il enregistra pour Capitol (58/59), Minit, Okeh et Instant Records, sans résultat. Esquerita est réapparu en 1970 comme compositeur pour un album Reprise Records de
Little Richard... Il est décédé le 23
Octobre 1986 à Harlem (New York).
US
Rock 'n' Roll singer
born Eskew
Reeder Jr. on November 20, 1935
in Greenville (South Carolina).
With a six-inch pompadour, brocaded shirts, rhinestone shades, and a
rhythmic, belligerent style of piano playing, Esquerita was the original
Little Richard, years before Mr.
Penniman tutti-frutti'd his way to stardom. Working around the Dallas-New
Orleans circuit in the early '50s, Esquerita's shot at the big time came when
Capitol Records decided they needed their own version of
Little Richard, after signing their
answer to Elvis,
Gene Vincent. The
resulting recordings, though smartly produced, stand as some of the most untamed
and unabashed sides ever issued by a major label. Long revered by rock & roll
fans the world over, they make
Little Richard's Specialty sides look
highly disciplined by comparison. Though Esquerita continued to record in a
tamer style through the '60s, his Capitol sides stand as a monument to the
potential of rock & roll's lunatic power and the off-kilter genius of Esquerita.
He died
October 23, 1986 in Harlem
(New York).
