Overview of the song
“Baby Face” is a tune based on the words of a song by the same name, which was written and recorded by Robert Johnson in the early 1910s. It was later covered by artists such as Ray Charles and others.
The original lyrics are as follows:
Baby face with a dandy line,
Can’t you see she’s got a good mouth?
She’s just not my type at all.
I’d rather be with her than any other gal,
And I’ll buy her a drink for being so fine.
She don’t have no line, she don’t say no thing;
Just baby face, baby face with a dandy line.
You and I must understand each other well;
She’s just not my type at all. Her name is Moses! (Moses? Moses?) Oh! Baby Face! Yeah! Oh! Baby Face! Yeah! Oh! Baby Face! Yeah! Oh! Baby Face. Yeah!” (Some sources say this is the last time Robert Johnson recorded this song.) The lyrics were likely influenced by the 1910 song “Visions of Love”. Similar to “Visions of Love”, “Baby Face” was originally sung to “an undisclosed woman who is not only beautiful but has an excellent voice.” When Robert Johnson wrote his lyrics, he may have seen or heard singer Harry Richman perform “Visions of Love.” By recording his own version of that song in 1911, he may have intended to replace Richman’s version with his own when he was unable to sing it himself. Johnson did not record any more songs for two years after this one until 1915 when he recorded another version of his original composition titled “Hellfire”. The 1909 song was inspired by Jimmie Noone’s hit single “A Hole in My Heart” from 1909 and it featured dance music elements similar to those used in jazz music in later years. Johnson named this composition “Baby Face” since it is better suited for singing than dancing and since his performance style is considered similar to that of singing soloists known as “baby-faces” (e.g., George Gershwin). Johnson sang several other versions of this song including an electric blues version on records released through New York-based music publisher Dorell Records and Bob Wills’ version on record released through Nashville orchestra leader Jody Williams’ Music Corporation label company which
Analysis of the song’s impact and legacy
The last few weeks have seen a number of discussions about the song “Baby Face,” the No. 1 song in the UK and U.S. from the British band Little Richard, which has been a popular feature on classic rock radio for almost 50 years.
The song was originally a cover of Eddie Cantor’s “I’ll Never Smile Again” and it shares some of its structure and refrain, but is actually very different in content and intent.
Little Richard’s version was recorded in 1956 at RCA Victor Studios on Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard, and became a hit in 1957 with its original B-side, “I Don’t Want to Go to Bed (Without You).”
It was re-recorded for release in 1959 with a slightly different arrangement that won him his first hit single as an artist (“You’re Breaking My Heart”). It also became No. 1 there that year as well, while re-released on both sides of the Atlantic.
In 1960, it was re-recorded again with a slightly different arrangement by Bobby Vinton for release as a single for Apple Records, which changed its name to Capitol Records in 1962. The song reached No. 3 on Billboard magazine’s charts but failed to become another top 40 hit until it was covered by Elvis Presley in 1964 (with his version reaching No. 20), although it did reach No. 1 there before he left that label later that year (although issue #1 had already been released). It also reached No. 1 on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 chart there after he left Capitol at the end of 1965 (it had been released there earlier). This time it stayed at the top spot until 1968 when it fell off the chart after being re-released during Presley’s famous “Comeback Special.” This version has never been officially certified by BMI or any other organization recognizing sales data for records to persons under 18 years old; however, over 2 million copies have been sold since 1985 without any certification data being issued by BMI or other agency recognized groups or organizations evaluating sales data from such sales activity when purchasers are at least 18 years old .
As I noted earlier this week, many people were surprised to learn that this isn’t exactly what I said about this particular post; others were shocked to learn that I’m not actually even American! And now we finally get an opportunity to sit back and discuss this very subject in great detail: can you get away with stealing someone else’s idea? What exactly does “
How the song was recorded
There’s a new music video of “baby face” coming out on YouTube this week. I think it’s a perfect example of how to do the right thing, but keep the audience in mind. The video is a tribute to this song and the band by Little Richard:
The video was actually shot in the studio of Little Richard’s manager Truman Rose (who also let us use his office). It was shot there because Truman had just bought a new home and we wanted to show some of the things that he had in storage. It’s not as explicit as some other videos from Little Richard, I think because he didn’t see it as being necessarily provocative or pushing any boundaries.
For an artist like Little Richard who is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve and for being very candid about what he feels, this video is very different to other videos that have been made by artists with similar attitudes towards sex (just look at how much coverage “Gangsta Gangsta” got when it was released).
The Song’s Impact On Little Richard’s Career, and how it affected the careers of many other musicians
When Little Richard released “Tutti Frutti” in 1964, he was suddenly catapulted to stardom. The following year, he released the song “The Girl Can’t Help It”, which became a Top 10 hit on the Billboard charts and made Little Richard a household name.
The success of both songs was due to the fact that much of their success was due to their connection with a great musician: Ray Charles. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Charles said:
“Little Richard has some of the most incredible rhythm and blues playing I’ve ever heard.”
Little Richard’s poor first album is often cited as one of the worst albums in rock history (his manager at the time claimed it would never have sold if they’d waited another few weeks) but he had a huge hit with “Tutti Frutti”. The two were so linked by common musical taste that it was known as “Tutti’s Song”. Little Richard’s fame would grow from there. But Charles wasn’t unaware of it; after all, Charles recorded “Tutti Frutti” for his own record company years before Little Richard did.
So why does it matter? This song changed his life, and for this reason alone, it is important for musicians to pay attention to its impact on their careers.
Conclusion: Little Richard’s legacy
Little Richard is the most famous father in rock history. Arguably, he was the first rock star. His music and persona were so powerful that his real name didn’t seem to matter at all. He signed with a small label called “Dunhill Records” that went bankrupt and disappeared off the face of the earth three years later, leaving only a handful of recordings behind. Little Richard lived his life surrounded by people who loved him but couldn’t quite figure out why. I was one such person, and I have met a lot of people over the years who are still trying to understand Little Richard — and why exactly he did what he did.
Before I can explain this, however, I should probably say something about my own background before Little Richard (as an adult). I grew up in a very poor household in northern India where my father worked as a child laborer for a sugarcane plantation owner. My father worked far harder than his wife and children, but it wasn’t always obvious to us — we never really got much money to spend on our own — so we went through life doing whatever we could to keep ourselves fed and warm (and generally happy).
The sugarcane plantation owner also employed many workers on contract (mostly farmers), some of whom were indentured servants. My mother never knew her parents; she grew up hearing stories from her grandmother about how they had both been born slaves in India (her grandmother was herself born into slavery) so she had no idea where they came from or how they ended up there; they just had passed through her family line somehow (and other family members were probably also slaves). She told stories of their brutal lives: She mentioned that one woman spent most of her life tied up in chains because she was too strong for her owners; another woman lost an eye when she got hit with sticks by her master (who wouldn’t give her food because he thought she would eat it); another woman held a child by the neck until it died from starvation when it tried to get away from its master’s mistress .
These stories sound pretty horrific until you realize that there is nothing worse than being owned by someone else; you want nothing more than freedom and want to use your own wits to escape your captivity as much as possible. That is how Little Richard felt about his music career — no matter what anybody thought or said about it, he loved music and wanted nothing more than for the
