Tears

The Singers and Songs

? and The Mysterians – 96 Tears “Not all songs about crying are necessarily sad. This one at least sounds happy…Led by Rudy Martinez, who actually changed his name to ? …(he) never appears in public without his sunglasses; I gotta admit, they did make him look pretty cool.”

Anita O’Day – And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine

Bobby Charles – Big Boys Cry “He was more successful as a songwriter than as a singer, and that’s a sin ‘cause he’s a hell of a singer. He’s got one of the most melodious voices ever transferred to a piece of vinyl... The boy could sing like a bird, he still does as a matter of fact.”

Solomon Burke – Cry To Me “Here’s a mighty, mighty man, a mammoth talent...He’s the father of 14 daughters and 7 sons...He has 64 grandchildren, and 8 great-grand children. No wonder he’s singing this song!”

Hank Williams – I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry

Julie London – Cry Me A River “Here’s one of the sexiest, most sultry records ever recorded. A deserved smash.”

Jimmy Nelson – I Sat And Cried

The Marvelettes – No More Tear Stained Makeup “Maybe the most pop-oriented of Motown’s major female acts.”

Charlie Rich – Tears A Go-Go

J. Geils Band – Cry One More Time For You

Roy Brown – Laughing But Crying “Part of the great tradition of rhythm and blues songs where the singer breaks down in tears.”

Billy Ward & His Dominoes – The Bells

Alton Ellis and The Flames – Cry Tough In 2006 “Alton was deservedly inducted into the international reggae and world music hall of fame. Congratulations to all concerned.”

Lula Reed – Drown In My Own Tears “Here she is, a heavenly singer with a voice like Gabriel’s trumpet…Oh, if trumpet players could only play like she sings!”

Mose Allison – Everybody’s Crying Mercy

“Well, the old clock on the wall says it’s time to go, and it’s a good thing, ‘cause I’m out of Kleenex anyway. So I’m gonna hop in my car, and head down the Robinson Freeway, and get myself a beer I can cry into.”

"Back then, Songwriters used to write songs and let the artist interpret 'em. Nowadays, People just write songs for themselves. They put themselves in boxes, ticky-tacky boxes. We've lost out on the whole art form on interpretive singing."

Ways to Laugh
Behind someone’s back
At somebody’s expense
Up your Sleeve (16th century)

“Well, it ain’t easy to say goodbye either, but I gotta do it. I don’t want to go, but I got to go. Time is up. Let me just leave you with the words of one of the wisest men I know; Uncle Miltie. Milton Berle. He said, and he knows what he’s talking about, ‘Laughter is an instant vacation.’ You got it uncle Miltie. I’m gonna go have myself a vacation.”

Heart

It’s night time in the big city
The last train from Overbrook pulls into the station
A man runs out of excuses.

“Here we are smack-dab in the middle of February, so we’re gonna talk about that fist sized muscle that lies in your chest, right behind and slightly to the left of the breast bone. Just sittin there between your lungs. It’s a remarkable organ; it works hard for you 24 hours a day.”

The Singers and The Songs

Solomon Burke – Home In Your Heart

The 101’ers – Keys To Your Heart

Billie Holiday – Good Morning Heartache

Jerry Butler – He Will Break Your Heart “Not just a nice man, but also a Chicago city alderman. Musically aware, politically aware.”

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins – Melts With You

(The Million Dollar Quartet – That’s When Your Heartaches Begin) December 4, 1956
Billy Bunn and His Buddies – That’s When Your Heartaches Begin

Little Richard – Directly From My Heart “It’s difficult to carry a secret love, and the ramifications can affect your entire life. I prefer just to sing about love; Little Richard agrees with me. Here’s one of his greatest songs. The Quasar of Rock and Roll, Little Richard…”

Irma Thomas – Ruler of My Heart “When Otis redid it he called it ‘Pain In My Heart,” and he took a writing credit. Toussaint successfully sued, and the song went back to being written by Naomi Neville.”

Van Morrison – Straight To Your Heart, Like A Cannon Ball

Shoes

It’s night time in the big city
Bananas ripen on the dock
A number 5 bus breaks down.

“Get out your shoe horns, because today we’re going to trumpet those things at the end of your legs.”

The Singers and The Songs

Carl Perkins – Blue Suede Shoes “Let’s start things off with one of the most famous pairs of shoes in rock and roll.”

Tommy Tucker – High Heeled Sneakers

The Bobby Fuller Four – Gallenkamp Shoes commercial

Joe South – Walk A Mile In My Shoes

Dinah Washington – Take Your Shoes Off Baby “Her voice could make you cry or make you dance. One of the greatest singers in all of jazz, in all of music.”

Billy Walker – Charlie’s Shoes “You ever buy those used vintage shoes? You ever wondered who walked in em before? Maybe it was Charlie.”

The Drifters – I’ve Got Sand In My Shoes

Louis Armstrong – Shine “I don’t think you could do a show about music without playing Louis Armstrong every couple of weeks...Louis was such a personality, you forget what a great musician he was. His singing totally inspired Louis Prima, and on the trumpet he was completely aware that sometimes playing less is more.”

Red Foley – Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy

NRBQ – Get Rhythm

Boozoo Chavis – Paper In My Shoes “He was an energetic performer, always wore a plastic butcher’s apron so his sweat would not ruin his accordion.”

Juke Boy Bonner – Running Shoes “He got his name because as a child he sang in local bars accompanied by the jukebox. He became a one man band, playing the blues hits of the day in neighborhood taverns, beatin the drum, strumming the guitar, playing the harmonica, and singing all at once. You’d think something like that would be really popular, but he still had trouble making ends meet.”

Run D.M.C. – My Adidas
“I remember buying this next record when it came out, down at St. Mark’s Records in New York. Actually I bought the twelve inch single, and it blew my mind. It was a powerful, exciting piece of music. Now when people listen to it, they think it’s quaint and old fashioned. They’re already condescending to it and turning it into an ‘oldie’. That’s the problem – people don’t always realize how powerful the innovators are. Take someone like Chuck Berry. When his records came out they were dangerous. There was nothing like them on the radio, they were like a stampede. Now all these bands just play it louder and faster and don’t really add anything to it. And so Chuck Berry, the creator, sounds ‘quaint’ and ‘old fashioned.’ They’re doing the same thing to Run DMC. Rap records have gotten louder, more camouflaged, faster and dirtier, with a thousand samples. Those records are colorful but it doesn’t mean that Run DMC should just be considered ‘oldies.’ They’re important pieces of art, and art isn’t looked at as something old or new, it’s looked at as something that moves ya. And here’s a record that moves me.”

Chuck Willis – Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes “As often as possible on Theme Time Radio Hour we try to feature artists who perform wearing turbans. Here’s one of my favorites.”

Robert Parker – Barefootin’
“The man who wrote the national anthem of shoelessness”

Poems
A slash of Blue—
A sweep of Gray—
Some scarlet patches on the way,
Compose an Evening Sky—
A little purple—slipped between—
Some Ruby Trousers hurried on—
A Wave of Gold—
A Bank of Day—
This just makes out the Morning Sky.

-- Emily Dickinson “blue poet”
