Hoochie Coochie Man - Willie Dixon / Muddy Waters - Cover Thumbs list

"Hoochie Coochie Man" (sometimes referred to as "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man") is a 1954 song (see 1954 in music) written by Willie Dixon and first performed by Muddy Waters. The song was a major hit upon its release, reaching number eight on Billboard magazine's Black Singles chart. Waters' rendition of the song was featured on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, as it was voted number 225 by representatives of the music industry and press.he hoochie coochie was a sexually provocative dance that became wildly popular during and after the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.[1] Described by the New York Journal in 1893 as "Neither dancing of the head nor the feet"[2], it was a belly dance performed by women of (or presented as having) an Eastern European gypsy heritage, often as part of travelling 'side shows'. Cooch, coochie or cootchie was apparently already a Southern US term for a woman's private parts, and hoochie coochie has been suggested as referring directly to sex. The dance was still popular at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition: the World's Fair of 1904 but had all but disappeared by the Second World War, and so the Muddy Waters song was harking back to an earlier 'golden' era.Since the dance was performed by women, a hoochie coochie man either watched them or ran the show. Alternatively, from the directly sexual meaning of hoochie coochie, he was successful with women.Another suggestion is that the dance, and presumably the name, is derived from the temple dancers of Kutch in IndiaCover versionsThe song has been covered by many artists, including Alexis Korner on R&B from the Marquee (1962), Jimmy Smith on Got My Mojo Workin (1962), Manfred Mann on The Five Faces of Manfred Mann (1964), Graham Bond Organisation on The Sound of '65 (1965), The Shadows of Knight on Gloria (1966), Jimi Hendrix on BBC Sessions (recorded 1967, released 1989), Chuck Berry on Live at the Fillmore Auditorium (1967), Billy Preston on Club Meeting (1967), Steppenwolf on Steppenwolf (1968), Buddy Guy on Buddy and the Juniors (1970), The Allman Brothers Band on Idlewild South (1970), John Mayall on Primal Solos (1977), Supertramp (1988 and 2002), Eric Clapton (1994), B. B. King on Original Blues Masters (1997), Etta James (1998), Motörhead on Another Perfect Day [Bonus Tracks] (2001), Jon Lord &The Hoochie Coochie Men on Live at the Basement (2003), 12:55 on "Cheap Sunglasses", and Dixon recorded his own version of the song in 1969. The New York Dolls recorded a live version in Paris, available on Seven Day Weekend (1973) among others, with frontman David Johansen claiming to have in fact written the tune and given it to Dixon in exchange for a hot meal (Johansen would have only been 4 when the song was released in 1954). It was also recorded by Dion in 2007 on his CD Son of Skip James. [ More Detail ]

Geoffrey Holder - "The New James Earl Jones" Thumbs list

"SIMPLY MARVELOUS" - Geoffrey HolderA rare performance and glimpse into the "life and philosophy" of this multi-talented celebrity.Immediately recognizable as the 7-Up, "Uncola man", his distinctive bass voice, heavy accent and hearty laugh are legendary. This is a clip from his "nightclub act" that was filmed at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater, New York City. Geoffrey is 6 foot 6 inches tall and shaved his head long before it was cool.Geoffrey won the 1975 Tony Award for Best Director of a Musical, "The Wiz" (1975), the all-African American retelling of "The Wizard of Oz". That same year he was also awarded the Tony for best costume design and was nominated again for the original 1978 Broadway musical "Timbuktu!", which he also directed and choreographed. As a choreographer, he has created dance pieces for many companies, including the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and The Dance Theatre of Harlem.Painter, director, set and costume designer, choreographer, dancer, actor, musician and showman; Geoffrey Holder is both colleague and friend to many, many international celebrities: Alvin Ailey, Woody Allen / Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask), Harold Arlen /House of Flowers, Charles Aznavour, George Balanchine / House of Flowers, Pearl Bailey / House of Flowers, Josephine Baker / Josephine Baker and Her Company, Tony Bennett, Ray Bolger/ Tony Award Presenter, Jacques Brel, Truman Capote / House of Flowers, Diahann Carroll / House of Flowers, Carol Channing / costumes, Noel Coward / Androcles and the Lion, Bette Davis, Johnny Depp / Charlie and the Chocolate Factory / Reader, Marlene Dietrich, Duke Ellington, Ian Fleming / Live or Let Die, Joao Gilberto Amoroso / Brasil / cover, James Earl Jones / Swashbuckler, Grace Jones / Boomerang, Martha Graham, Rex Harrison / Doctor Dolittle as William Shakespeare the Tenth, Helen Hays, Lena Horne / portrait, John Huston / Annie asPunjab, Michael Jackson, Brian Keith, Eartha Kitt / Boomerang / Timbuktu / Director, Claude Lelouch / Hasards of Coincidences, Stephanie Mills / The Wiz/director, Sal Mineo / Aladdin, Arthur Mitchell / Dance Theatre of Harlem, Ricardo Montalban / portrait, Melba Moore /Timbuktu, Roger Moore / James Bond / Live or Let Die / actor / choreographer, Eddie Murphy / Boomerang, Odetta, Anthony Perkins / portrait, Sidney Poitier, Herbert Ross / House of Flowers / Doctor Dolittle, Maximillan Schell, Jane Seymour / Live or Let Die, Bobby Short, Nina Simone, Charlie Smalls, Sharon Stone / Inspired her to "leave home and go into the business", Gloria Swanson and the list goes on... Geoffrey performed, "Under The Sea" from "The Little Mermaid" at the 62nd Academy Awards (1990 Oscars).Much like his longtime friend Bill Cosby, Geoffrey is both teacher and "Renaissance Man". When he commands the audience to "STAND UP, UP, UP, UP!" and then insists that everyone "PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE" to GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, to JESUS, MOSES, BUDDAH AND ALLAH... He is "More Evangelist than Showman". Geoffrey burns with THEOSOPHY and UNIVERSAL LOVE.Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, Geoffrey came to New York City in 1952. Holder married dancer, choreographer and actress, Carmine DeLavallade in June of 1955. They met when they were both were in the Broadway cast of "Flower Drum Song". They live happily in New York City and have one son, Leo Anthony Lamont.EVERYONE IS ALWAYS DELIGHTED TO SEE GEOFFREY HOLDER!!!I first met Geoffrey in 1975 at a very crowded gallery opening of his work somewhere on Madison Avenue in NYC. Those were the days when video cameras had very bright lights. During the entire event that camera followed Geoffrey (who was the tallest person in the room) everywhere. I sensed his shyness and wondered if he needed a break. I asked him if he would like to sit and chat. Relieved, to be out of the spotlight, he said, "I'D LIKE THAT", and we became immediate friends. Geoffrey was, FAMOUS AT STUDIO 54. With his height, you could recognize him from anywhere in the room and everyone loved him. Today, whenever I'm out in the city with Geoffrey total strangers come up and give him a hug. It's a little startling, especially for him. I'm 5'10" and they always ask if I'm his bodyguard. I've gotten used to it; after all, they're just trying to get HIS attention.He's is a wonderful and special man, mentor and a really inspirational friend. When you're with Geoffrey, one minute you're walking down Broadway and suddenly find yourself, "SKIPPING ON DOWN, THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD." AMAZING!!! Surprised, well yeah, but after all he is the man who created and directed The Broadway Musical, "THE WIZ". I'm sure you'll agree Geoffrey Holder is "MARVELOUS, ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS...
