Daddy B. Nice’s News & Notes
All hail King George. No, that’s not the King of England. That’s the young Carolinian taking the southern soul world by storm, precipitating one of the sweetest moments in entertainment: That’s when fans raise a prior unknown to celebrated status. Performers are watching with envy and admiration as this young man notches one hit single after another and books one new concert after another—all at whirlwind speed—the latest only a couple of days ago replacing superstar Calvin Richardson as the headliner in the July 9th, multi-act, Evergreen Weekend Concert in Starkville, Mississippi. The audiences, dominated by exuberant ladies, sing along to every word of King George’s lyrics, including “not one, not two—but three—women” and “one who just don’t give a fuck” (“Keep On Rollin'”)—-in effect turning the misogynistic words into female broadsides hurled back at threat-prone males. And in amusing TikTok snippets parents are filmed ushering their ungrateful toddlers towards the front door while wagging their fingers and singing, “If you wanna go, just go / One monkey don’t stop no show!”….
…Zee’s BBQ in Clarksdale, Mississippi invites recording artists to submit their music videos to The Big Blues and Southern Soul Show on YouTube. E-mail mp3’s to zeesbbq601@gmail.com ….Calvin Richardson has withdrawn from a number of upcoming southern soul concerts. Check the Concert Calendar to be sure….

After a long absence the Jous Band is back with a pair of new singles….Early-aughts recording artist X-Man Parker (“Two Birds,” “Suga Bear”) is back with a new batch of songs under the title/name Royal Crown.….Finally, William Bell and his label Wilbe Records are seeking testimonials (i.e. recollections of the first time you heard the song, the way it made you feel, or perhaps who or what the song reminds you of) for their Video Lab Series on YouTube.
