In The Rain

Today's featured songwriter is likely lesser known than our last subject, but those in the know, will surely recognize Tony Hester as one of the great hidden gems of Detroit's hey day. Though he never signed to the mighty label, Hester spent considerable time hanging out at the Hitsville studio during the mid 60s, watching Holland-Dozier-Holland produce records. Mowtown tried to sign Hester after his first recorded song, "A Little Bit Of Sympathy", by The Marvelettes gained traction in D-Town, but he refused. Most sources say Hester was only 14 then, but most of the same sources have his birthday as July 7, 1946 so there's some bad math somewhere there I suspect. More likely he was about 17/18. Golden World Records also wanted to sign Hester to contract but again Hester refused. Shortly after that, Ed Wingate, the owner of Golden World/Ric Tic Records, sold the companies to Motown. Detroit had groups galore and Hester sang with lots of them. He sang on a Holidays' recording but soon lost interest in groups because of the constant hassles. He then recorded a solo record, "Just Can't Leave You" b/w "Watch Your Step", issued on Karate Records in 1966. Following this Hester hooked up with Detroit's funk legend, Richard 'Popcorn' Wylie, with whom he co-wrote a wide breadth of material for a wide array of labels. Artists such as The Platters, Steve Mancha, Jimmy Delphs, Jimmy 'Soul' Clark, Mary Wells, Bettye LaVette, Deon Jackson and many others benefited from this collaboration. Hester's real big break came via producer, Don Davis in 1970, when he paired Hester with The Dramatics, recording for Stax subsidiary, Volt Records. Hester penned the entirety of their first two albums, recorded for the label in 1971 and 1973 respectively. They were the first to cut Hester's "In The Rain", which remains to be one of the most popular, enduring, and recorded R&B tunes of all time. Hester continued to contribute to further albums by The Dramatics, as well as writing material for The Dells, Jeanie Reynolds, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr, among others. However, Hester had developed quite a serious drug addiction by the mid 70s and was working less and less as the decade came to a close. Tragically, in the summer of 1980, he was found shot to death in a drug related robbery on the streets of Detroit. Fortunately, his music live's on to this day and Hester is remembered fondly by those who were close to him.

The Lover Man

Here's another installment for the Songbook Series ... a deep dip with the mercurial, magical and immensely talented Jerry Williams Jr. (aka Swamp Dogg). In addition to an accomplished recording career of his own -- and still currently at it -- Williams is a phenomenal songwriter, producer and arranger with an incredibly impressive list of titles to his credit. This is exemplified especially by his work with several southern soul singers from the late 60s through to the late 70s, with much of it made available via ACE/Kent Records and similar outfits. This two part collection of various artists will surely feature some crossover with these releases but also traverses some uncharted territory, plus I've included a third volume of entirely 'Dogg does Dogg' recordings. A few years back, with a fairly thorough account, I featured Williams/Swamp Dogg on the main site with a bio curated primarily from Wiki and the ramblings of the mighty Sir Shambling in the 9th and 10th parts of his feature on Quinvy Studios. I'll let the newcomers suss it out themselves if not already familiar with this satirical, sensual, political and occasionally polarizing tour de force of an artist. Here, as always with the Songbook Series, we focus on material written by Williams but make no mistake ... he's also the producer and/or arranger on many of the recordings featured here and plays piano on more than three dozen of the included titles. Enjoy!
