James Lee Jamerson. Born on January 29, 1936, and leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate, Jamerson's unparalleled contributions to the world of music have earned him a well-deserved place among the legends.

Jamerson's impact on music, particularly during the golden era of Motown, is immeasurable. As an uncredited bassist, he laid down the irresistible grooves on countless Motown hits throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, shaping the sound of an entire generation. His signature style, marked by intricate basslines and unparalleled groove, became the heartbeat of Motown's iconic tracks.

Despite the lack of formal credit on many of his recordings, Jamerson's influence reverberates through the annals of music history. His remarkable talent graced twenty-three Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits and propelled fifty-six R&B number-one hits to the top of the charts. His basslines provided the foundation for legendary tracks by artists like The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and countless others.

In 2000, Jamerson received one of music's highest honors when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a testament to his enduring impact on the industry. His accolades continued to grow posthumously, with Bass Player magazine ranking him as the greatest bass player of all time in their 2017 special issue, and Rolling Stone magazine naming him the number one bassist in their 2020 list of the 50 greatest bassists of all time.

Wishing you and yours the very BEST of the season from the entire staff at 95-1 WOLD, Central Jersey's Music & Information Station!

George “Funky” Brown, known for playing an instrumental part in Kool and the Gang, has died at the age of 74.

Brown died in Los Angeles of lung cancer, according to a statement released from a representative. “When asked to describe his music, Brown always replied, ‘The sound of happiness,’” it read.

He was one of the co-founders of the band as well as the drummer and a songwriter, co-writing some of their biggest hits including Celebration, Ladies’ Night and Jungle Boogie. He described himself as a “self-taught” musician.

Kool and the Gang was started in 1964 in New Jersey. “None of us were silver spoon babies,” Brown said. “All Jersey City was in the city, meaning, you know, the minority and the hardships. And that lent itself to writing and playing a certain way – being untrained, but knowing or teaching ourselves how to play.”

The band released their self-titled debut album in 1969. After two more live albums, it was 1973’s Wild and Peaceful that pushed them to the forefront, with hits including Hollywood Swinging. Further success was found in 1979 with Ladies’ Night, an album that became their first platinum success.

Happy 86th birthday to Clarence "Frogman" Henry. Born in New Orleans, he began learning piano as a child, influenced by Professor Longhair. The "Frogman" moniker was derived from his 1956 song Ain't Got No Home. Written by Mr. Henry, the song features him singing in his natural voice for the first verse, falsetto for the second and his trademark croak on the third. It was a monster hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard R&B charts and No. 20 on the Pop charts. In 1961, after a dry spell, he returned to the Top Ten on the R&B and Pop charts with his recording of the Paul Gayten/Bobby Charles-penned (I Don't Know Why) But I Do. He followed that up with his rendition of the standard You Always Hurt the One You Love (No. 12 Pop, No. 11 R&B).

He had some minor hits throughout 1961 and 1962 but soon the hits dried up. In 1964, he was the opening act for the Beatles during their tours of the US and Canada. During this time, he remained quite popular in his native Louisiana, playing to many adoring fans at clubs on Bourbon Street. He still makes appearances at various festivals. In 2007, he was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.

Happy birthday Mr. Henry! 😎🐸🎼🎼
