CMT.com : Papa Charlie Jackson : Biography Papa Charlie Jackson remains a shadowy figure, considered a highly influential figure in the blues, though not quite a major blues figure, apart from the fact that he was the first male singer/guitarist who played the blues to get to record. Jackson switched to guitar on some of his late-'20s recordings, and occasionally played the ukulele as well, although he was back to using the five-string hybrid in 1934, when he cut his final sessions. Jackson continued performing, however, and he returned to the recording studio again in November of 1934 for sessions on the Okeh label, including three songs cut with his friend Big Bill Broonzy, which were never issued. www.cmt.com /artists/az/jackson_papa_charlie/bio.jhtml   (661 words)

Papa Charlie Jackson Jackson was the first really successful self accompanied performer and he has the distinction of being one of the creators of “Hokum”, a spicy form of popular song that made repeated and continual references to sex, his most popular composition being “Shake That Thing”. Little to nothing is known about Jackson’s personal life, other than that he was born in New Orleans around 1890 where it is presumed that he began playing a six-string banjo tuned like a guitar, similar to the instrument used by Johnny St. Cyr. Jackson also recorded with two of Tiny Parham’s bands “Tiny Parham and his “Forty” Fives and Tiny Parham and his Musicianswith whom he recorded between 1927 and 1930. www.redhotjazz.com /jackson.html   (506 words)

The Papa Charlie Jackson Home Page As the first solo, self-accompanied male blues singer to be a record star, Papa Charlie Jackson paved the way for the likes of Blind Blake and Blind Lemon Jefferson on his own label, and for their successors; but his music was from a different tradition. Papa Charlie Jackson and the Banjo Jackson, and others like him are often called "songsters" or "entertainers." Which is a polite way of saying that he isn't considered a "real" blues artist. www.openair.org /maxwell/papacj.html   (1128 words)

Papa Charlie Jackson @ Soundbug Papa Charlie Jackson was an early male bluesman to record. The late 1920s saw Jackson reach the pinnacle of his career, recording "Papa Charlie and Blind Blake Talk About It" (a two-part song) with Blind Blake. Originally performing in minstrel and medicine shows, Jackson was playing all around Chicago in the early 1920s, soon recording "Papa's Lawdy Lawdy Blues" and "Airy Man Blues", the first recordings by a male singer of the blues. www.soundbug.com /artist/1344   (188 words)

Bluegrass Messengers Papa Charlie Jackson was the first male blues singer to gain some fame through records. As Oliver points out, Little Hat's version is quite distinct - 'he was clearly drawn to the image of the submarine slipping away from its enemies; a more telling use than Smith and Handy's text which merely had 'a gang of men' try to capture Dean 'so they chased him with a submarine' [Oliver p70]. However, there is a fascinating 'Lost John' recording among the 1976 recordings of De Ford Bailey by David Morton and issued on CD as 'The Legendary De Ford Bailey: Country Music's First Black Star' Tennessee Folklore Society Records TFS-122. www.bluegrassmessengers.com /master/lostjohn14.html   (1219 words)

Blues Reviews Throughout the 70's Reverend Charlie Jackson cut a string of astonishingly tough 45's that have long been held in high esteem by gospel collectors. Jackson's music stems from an earlier era when the line between blues and gospel was just a hair apart, and indeed these sides sound like they could have been cut decades before. Jackson's music is deeply rooted in the Mississippi blues tradition and indeed the first songs he recalls playing were blues numbers. www.baddogblues.com /archives/11.03/reviews2.htm   (1802 words)

Various Artists Chicago in Mind This dichotomy is evident in Papa Charlie Jackson’s “Maxwell Street Blues&; (1925), the first nationally distributed blues 78 by a male singer. The song finds the dapper Jackson strumming a rural-sounding banjo while he pleads with the police to release his girlfriend, who’s been arrested for soliciting at the Sunday street market — a decidedly urban activity. www.allaboutjazz.com /php/article.php?id=6698   (558 words)

NothinButDaBlues Reading Room Leaving a far more lasting impression was Papa Charlie Jackson, who in 1924 became the first commercially successful bluesman. By 1926, Jackson's success had led Paramount to scout and sign two of the early blues' greatest musicians: Blind Blake, the master of ragtime fingerpicking, and Blind Lemon Jefferson, who'd emerge as the most famous bluesman of the Roaring Twenties. That summer, Jackson made the first of nearly three-dozen 78s he'd record for Paramount over the next half-dozen years. nothinbutdablues.bizland.com /ReadingRoomApril01.chtml   (875 words)

J In 1934, he became responsible for black AandR at Decca, recording Mahalia Jackson's debut sides. A college graduate, Williams was nicknamed Ink by musicians; he was the first, and in his time the most successful, black executive in the US record industry. After World War II, Williams operated a series of small labels, all of which suffered from undercapitalization and a loss of touch by Williams (as may be heard on Muddy Waters’ first commercial recording). www.centrohd.com /biogra/w1/j.htm   (205 words)

Rockument Radio - Roots - Country Blues Pt. 1 This song is based on an earlier song by Papa Charlie Jackson called "All I Want is a Spoonful". Jim Jackson was a medicine show performer, street singer, and jug band musician who played with Gus Cannon and Furry Lewis in and around Memphis in the 1920s. The Rolling Stones were at that time, 1968, more of a quintet than a band fronted by Mick Jagger (vocals), with Keith Richards on guitar, Brian Jones on guitar and harmonica (and exotic instruments such as sitar and dobro), and Bill Wyman (bass) and Charlie Watts (drums) forming the most solid rhythm section in rock. www.rockument.com /roots_countryblues1.html   (2022 words)

The King Of Ragtime Guitar: Blind Blake & His Piano-Sounding Guitar I think 'Champagne Charlie' is by someone else--it doesn't sound like Blake to me." Grossman concurs: "That 78 doesn't have his taste, his feel. With its exaggerated vocals and Jackson's utilitarian banjo strums overwhelming the arrangement, the song wasn't far removed from blackface minstrelsy. The final Blind Blake release, the old Victorian music hall standard "Champagne Charlie Is My Name" backed by "Depression's Gone From Me Blues," which recycles the "Sitting On Top Of The World" melody, was recorded in Grafton during June 1932. www.garlic.com /~tgracyk/blake1.htm   (2497 words)
