Iniciamos la búsqueda y captura del exhuberante repertorio de LAST FM... para empezar (ahora que el calor suda cuerpo) una selección de musica postmoderna (si, ellos, el pueblo negro afro-americano, son casi que con toda seguridad una de las más claras expresiones delo postmoderno)
Y aquí lo dicho, que no prometido... sin prisas pero sin pausas.
A lo mejor Bohannon ha quedado en la memoria de pocos de vosotros (qué lástima, si es el caso). Pero aquí os acercamos una selección de Mr. B. para emepzar a recuperar el sentido , la buena forma... y la demencia de los '70s ( en nuestro caso, senil ya)

Iniciamos la búsqueda y captura del exhuberante repertorio de LAST FM... para empezar (ahora que el calor suda cuerpo) una selección de musica postmoderna (si, ellos, el pueblo negro afro-americano, son casi que con toda seguridad una de las más claras expresiones delo postmoderno)

A lo mejor Bohannon ha quedado en la memoria de pocos de vosotros (qué lástima, si es el caso). Pero aquí os acercamos una selección de Mr. B. para emepzar a recuperar el sentido , la buena forma... y la demencia de los '70s ( en nuestro caso, senil ya)
Bohannon
Hamilton Bohannon was born on March 7th, 1942 in the small Georgia town of Newnan, about an hour's drive southwest of Atlanta. Hamilton grew up in a working class family of middle income. After high school Bohannon attended Clark Atlanta University where he graduated with a B.A. degree in musical education. Upon graduation he began teaching before accepting a job as drummer for a band that included Jimi Hendrix in it's line-up. He came to the attention of Stevie Wonder, who appointed him drummer in his touring band in 1965.
Bohannon relocated to Detroit and worked for Wonder from 1965 to 1967. Over those two years Bohannon's style impressed the hierarchy at Motown Records to such an extent that they made him top bandleader, responsible for live arrangements for all Motown's top acts. When Motown relocated to Los Angeles, Bohannon stayed in Detroit, assembling his own band.
"Summertime Groove." "Summertime Groove" exemplifies the Bohannon sound, as does the funky, potent "Let's Start The Dance." This song propelled the album to the top of the charts and was a huge summer smash thanks to Carolyn Crawford's vocals (He subsequently produced Crawford's solo release, "Coming On Strong," that same year),. "Me And The Gang," "The Street Dance," and the lesser of the rump-shakers, "Listen To The Children Play," continue the party atmosphere. This is pure uncut boogie music. The only ballad is a wistful winner titled "I Wonder Why." He followed this with four more releases for Mercury, "On My Way," "Cut Loose," "Too Hot To Hold" and "Music In The Air."

Bohannon albums carbon each other: all have shuffling grooves, heavy rhythms, and quality ballads; the only things that change are the personnel and the song titles. Liz Lands replaces Carolyn Crawford as the feature vocalist on his final 1980 Mercury release. Both recorded at Motown and, despite making good records, failed to scale the charts at Hitsville U.S.A. Lands' vocals elevate "Music In The Air" above the mediocre level. Lands has an amazing vocal range that reminds me of a singing flute. She does an admirable job on the Originals' classic "Baby I'm For Real"; her finest moment occurs on "Thoughts And Wishes," a song with jazz roots — her soprano soars to crystal-shaking heights as she rips into the lyrics. As always, Bohannon has some dance grooves to shake your booty too; "The Funk Walk," "The Hammer" and "Feel Like Dancin'" will get you up and down on the dance floor. Unfortunately, like most Bohannon releases, this one appealed to the hardcore Bohannon fans and didn't find a broader range of fans and buyers. He started Phase II Records in 1980, he also switched to recording under the simpler banner of Bohannon. He scored another chart topper with a reworking of "Let's Start The Dance" in 1981. "Let's Start 2 Dance Again" featured Atlanta rapper Dr. Perri Johnson, with his 15 minutes of fame, rapping over the instrumental passages. A remix of the remix followed and then a 1983 attempt at reworking the reworked hit with "Let's Start The Dance 3." Needless to say at this point it had run it's course. His albums from 1981 to 1984, "Goin' For Another One," "Alive," "One Step Ahead," "Make Your Body Move" and "Bohannon Drive" produced nine R&B charters, but none matched his 1978 pop success.
Bohannon dominated the clubs and R&B charts in disco's heyday, but found the going tougher in the 1980's. By the time of his 1989 session, his one and only for MCA Records, there was a whole new sound among dance fans. House, techno, and British and European dance was lighter, faster and not as rhythmically heavy as the music that Bohannon championed. "Here Comes Bohannon" put as much emphasis on Altrinna Grayson's vocals as Bohannon's arrangements. She was a fine singer in the genre, but Bohannon didn't make much impact with this one. One 12" single, "House Train," gained little club play and for all purposes it seemed that club music had passed Bohannon by.
He has spent the recent years resting happily in Atlanta with his family and past earnings (he wrote, arranged and produced all of his albums, maximizing his take of the proceedings) until a wave of sampling sparked renewed interest in his work. His work has been sampled by Richard "Humpty" Vission, That Petrol Emotion, Jose Melendez, Jay-Z, DJ Lynnwood, DJ Irene, and Class A Felony to name a few. Compilations of his past glory were quickly assembled, and now most of his best moments are available on CD for all to enjoy.
