Walter Gibbons - Biography - AOL Music One of the dance figures whose influence and exposure far exceeds his actual name-recognition association, Walter Gibbons pioneered the concept of the remix and 12-inch single in America. Gibbons began working for Salsoul Records in 1976, and recorded his first remix singles that year, Double Exposure's "Ten Percent" and the Salsoul Orchestra's "Nice 'N' Nasty." Utterly transformed with the addition of echo/reverb effects borrowed from dub and drum breaks, the singles influenced dozens of producers (and DJs). Gibbons also worked on tracks for West End and Gold Mind during the late '70s, but was inactive for several years. music.aol.com /artist/walter-gibbons/182862/biography   (340 words)

WalterGibbons Walter Gibbons was a true "Native New Yorker." Born in 1954 in Queens he had a rather uneventful childhood growing up in the big apple. By 18 Walter was plugged into the emerging gay nightlife scene and he became one of disco's earliest d.j.'s. Most people believed that Walter Gibbons was a fading legend in the early history of disco, then in 1984 he resurfaced, and had a new and immediate impact on the development of Chicago House Sound. www.discomuseum.com /WalterGibbons.html   (910 words)

Tim Lawrence Liner notes (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-11.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Gibbons didn't acquire the cult status of David Mancuso or Nicky Siano, who were able to develop intense, almost spiritual relationships with their dancers thanks to the private status of the Loft and the Gallery, which helped create an environment that was both intimate and frenzied. Gibbons told Harvey that he was now playing records at his own house parties and added that he took requests, even for records that he considered to be unchristian, because that could help him get into the mindset of his dancers and help reshape their outlook. Gibbons was the first DJ to move into the protected world of the studio, and in the second half of the seventies and the first half of the eighties there were only three DJ remixers who really mattered: Gibbons, Kevorkian and Levan. www.timlawrence.info.cob-web.org:8888 /linernotes/2005/walter_g.php   (10528 words)

Walter Gibbons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Walter Gibbons (April 02, 1954 - September 23, 1994) was an American record producer, DJ and remixer. Gibbons was known as "the DJ's DJ" due to the fact that his peers would go out of their way to go hear him play. Gibbons became a reborn Christian in the 1980's, but still managed to turn out cutting edge mixes during this period (he simply focused on songs and lyrics that did not offend his beliefs). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Walter_Gibbons   (290 words)

Discriminating Talent Gibbons wound up there after growing up in Tampa, and what he endured on his journey there - indeed, what they all went through - is too fantastic for many today to fathom. Gibbons was a member of the Clowns by then, but joined up with a local team to play against the travelers at old Plant Field on the UT campus. Walter Gibbons' days in the Negro Leagues ended when he was sent to Korea in 1950, where he was nearly killed by a grenade. sports.tbo.com /sports/MGBKACKA6KE.html   (1169 words)

Tim Lawrence Articles "Walter was a big fan of Salsoul," says Cayre, "He would regularly come to the office for records." Denise Chapman, now head of promotions at the label, became the DJ's point of contact, and the two of them hit it off. Gibbons set the drummer a new test within a week or two of his debut: how to keep up with his remix of "Ten Percent" by Double Exposure. For sure, mixers had already edged their way into the recording industry, but Gibbons was the first to get his hands dirty on the cutting room floor, and his triumphant intervention meant that he and his comrades could now do more than tell record companies which songs were likely to make it in the clubs. www.timlawrence.info /articles/2005/keep_on.php   (2816 words)

MDD_WALTER GIBBONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Until quite recently very little was documented about Walter; Born and raised in Queens, New York, he was resident DJ at Galaxy 21, where, as early as 1972, he was a pioneer in the art of mixing, and killer on the double copies, extending his beloved drum breaks like no one before him. Walter's mix concentrates on the outro vamp section; turning up the jazzier elements like the rhodes and vibes and allowing enough space to not only let the groove swing; but for Loleatta's powerhouse vocal to really cut through and make an impression on the listener. Walter turns up the drums and manages to give a proper underground disco vibe to what was frankly a rather lightweight album cut. www.milliondollardisco.com /waltergibbons.html   (2365 words)

Walter Gibbons (1954 - 1994) Walter was a pioneer." --Tim Lawrence via the liner notes to Mixed with Love, http://www.timlawrence.info/linernotes/2005/walter_g.php [Jan 2005] Gibbons asked Cayre if he could remix the song and the Salsoul chief, taking a deep breath, decided to entrust his little prince with the multitrack [see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitrack_Recording].

The Negro Leagues Part 2 Walter "Dirk" Gibbons, a pitcher with the Indianapolis Clowns, said, "Nobody wants to believe we were as good as they say we were, but I can vouch for it, I was there. I knew sooner or later it would happen, but we had to go through so much before it really did happen." Walter Gibbons should know what good is; by his own account, he was a 19-game winner with 229 strikeouts in one season.

Deep Groove Encyclopedia - Double Exposure Gibbons struck gold a second time on "Free," getting maximum emotional returns from Jimmy Williams' passionate, pleading voice, particularly on the vamp, where Williams nearly reaches Loleatta Holloway-like levels of expression.
