Hey !

It would be great to introduce here, your favorite ''Voodoo-R&B'' tunes or 45's ! ()

Additionally, write your opinion if ''Voodoo - R&B'' could be assumed as musical branch of R&B scene

What is Voodoo R&B? R&B from New Orleans?

I think that there is no typical rule or no specific region for that !

Just want to see, as anyone apprehend this kind of music, as already (southpaw) did with Billy Preston

I'm as confused as you - asks if we like it then won't tell us what it is, so how the f*ck do we know if we like it or not?

:laugh:

I'm thinking he means tunes with voodoo in the title or about magic or witchcraft. Who knows?

Betty Lavette - Witchcraft In The Air?

I wish you hadn't.

This will start the old debate if it was IL or SS who played it first.

I would have thought Voodoo R&B refers to records made or influenced by New Orleans or Mississipi Delta tunage..

And that perhaps the term R&B is meant to refer to early R&B, Soul & Funk from this perspective..

If not I wouldn't know what the frig else it might mean - surely not simply naming tunes with Voodoo or related terms for a title or artist..

Over to the original poster..

Just listening to Billy Preston - Volcano

I like it, the bongo's seam be the only musical accompaniment with a female backing that I like a lot. The sax makes a welcome appearance and the track changes slightly and a piano can be heard to drive it along a little although the tempo doesn't increase.

It's very pleasant to the ear and I'll deffo be listening to it again.

I should imagine that if the percussion was dropped and replaced by a more Detroit feel then this would become an instant stomping sound, but that kinda isn't the point is it.

The track oozes sex appeal but I'm not too sure if I could dance to it?

Cracking track! More please

A perfect example of what? Explain what you think Voodoo R&B is please, because the original poster seems to have buggered off and left it hanging. laugh.gif

in my opinion is a reference to early ...something (not doo wop or blues) a kind of primitive sounds.

has nothing to do with the region, only with the impact of the sound.

for me voodoo r&b is BILLY & THE MOONLIGHTERS: little indian girl

an amalgamation of jungle percussion and shouters from the underground

insist on Billy and add KAVETTS: i ve got a story to tell you

But this is what i feel, my sense. Glad to see yours

...what about King Coleman on togo?

Like The Cramps then?

Don't think so, Pete.

Haven't heard the term before, but I think it refers to raw R&B with strong links to work songs and hollers from the deep south.

Or not. :rolleyes:

Maybe vooodoo is the devils music Pete wink.gif

For deep and dark side R&B it has to be Black wings has my angel for me , it has that great harmonica element which always puts a spell on the listener and toys with the feet.

Lavern Baker Vooodoo Voodoo and Charles Sheffield are the obvious one's , but i am sure there are many more out there.

Actually I heard a great Tommy Ridgley played the other month played by FrancisT can anyone throw any light on this tune for me please ? can't think of the title something about loving you more today than yesterday maybe ? New Orleans soul R&B

Going off at a tangent now anyone remember the witch queen of new orleans .. I used to love that chart topper as a kid.
