LONNIE YOUNGBLOOD
FakesListed here are tracks that have appeared
on albums claiming to be Hendrix or Youngblood/Hendrix material, but in
reality do not contain any involvement by Hendrix.
These can be roughly divided into four categories:
1. Re-worked songs
2. New (Herman Hitson) songs
3. "One channel" songs
4. Miscalleneous songs
Most of these "fake" tracks have appeared under several different
titles, I've tried to list them here with their real titles (if known)
and the titles they had on their first "Hendrix" release.
1. Re-worked songs
Miracle Worker
(Jimmy Norman)
wiped horns, drums, bass, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, clockenspiel
I'm Gonna Be Good [aka From This Day On](Marion Farmer, Edward Lewis, James Lewis)
wiped piano, wiped horns, drums, bass, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, congas
You Are Too Much For The Human Heart - version 1 [aka Human Heart]
(Lee Moses)
drums, bass, organ, lead guitar, rhythm guitar
You Are Too Much For The Human Heart - version 2 [aka Louisville](Lee Moses)
wiped vocals, drums, bass, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, organ
Feel That Soul (John Wesley)
drums, bass, lead gtr, rhythm gtr, organ
All Alone(John Wesley)
wiped vocals, drums, bass, lead gtr, rhythm gtr
So Called Friend (Jimmy Norman)
wiped horns, drums, bass, piano, rhythm gtr, lead gtr, mumblings "play the blues"
Girl So Fine (John Wesley)
drums, bass, lead gtr (w/ phasing effect), rhythm gtr, 2nd rhythm gtr, organ
Every Little Bit Hurts (unknown)
drums, bass, lead gtr, rhythm gtr, organ
You Say You Love Me [aka Freedom And You](John Wesley)
drums, bass, lead gtr, rhythm gtr, wiped vocals
John Wesley seems to be a pseudonym (or the real name?) of Johnny
Brantley, a search in BMI brings exactly the same results for both names
(and Johnny Brantley's name is given as "Brantley Johnny W").
RE-ISSUE FROM 1981 ON PHOENIX 10
Almost all of these songs are available on the "Moods" -lp. So far
the only track that I have found that belongs to this category and is
not on "Moods" is "You are too much for the human heart - version 2"
[aka Louisville].
These are clearly tracks that have been messed with. Several of these
songs originally had vocals, horns or piano on them, and these have
mainly been wiped. They can still be heard quietly in the background,
probably because of leakage during the original recordings. After wiping
some of the original instrumentation new, mainly vocal & guitar
overdubs were added to the tracks in order to turn them into "Jimi
Hendrix" recordings.
So far 4 original versions of these tracks have been found:
Herman Hitson
You are too much for the human heart (Lee Moses) / got that will (Herman Hitson) (Atco 6566) - 7"
Produced by Johnny Brantley, arranged by T.Staff
The fake "Human heart" is available in two versions, titled mostly
either as "Human heart", "Let me go" or "Louisville". Both of these
takes are versions of "You are too much for the human heart" composed by
Lee Moses and recorded on 1 march 1968. The single is very rare, and
quite popular in soul collecting circles. Originally released in 1968,
it was re-issued in 2000 on a Kent -label compilation cd "Sanctified
Soul" (CDKEND 180).
Both "fake" takes sound quite different to the single track, but the
song is clearly the same, and on one of the takes faint vocals can be
heard. The vocals are extremely low, but when you compare them to the
single version you are able to match bits of the lyrics. The fake "Human
heart" has a much slower tempo compared to the Hitson single, so it's a
different take, not the 45 take with overdubs. Also, "From this day on"
features congas very similar to "Yes you did" by Hitson.
At least three singles were released by Hitson involving Johnny Brantley and / or Lee Moses:
Herman Hitson
You are too much for the human heart (Lee Moses) /
I got that will (Herman Hitson) (Atco 6566) - 7"
Produced by Johnny Brantley, arranged by T.Staff
Herman Hitson
Yes you did (Marion Farmer, Edward Lewis, James Lewis) /
Better to have loved (Marion Farmer, Edward Lewis, James Lewis) (Minit 32072) - 7"
Produced by Johnny Brantley, arranged by T.Staff
Herman Hitson
Show some sign (Herman Hitson) / She's a bad girl (Bobby Fears, Lee Moses) (Minit 32096) - 7"
Produced by Johnny Brantley, arranged by Lee Moses
Sam Williams
Miracle worker (Jimmy Norman) / So called friend (Jimmy Norman) (Uptown 742) - 7"Produced by Johnny Brantley
"Miracle worker" is the same basic song as the fake track "Miracle
worker", this is the same take with vocals & horns removed and
guitar overdubs added. The fake "So called friend" is an alternate take
of the Sam Williams version with horns & vocals wiped and guitar
overdubs added. Johnny Brantley also produced a version of the song cut
by Billy LaMont.
Nate Adams
Why Is It Taking So Long / I'm Gonna Be Good" (ATLANTIC 45-2466) - 7"Produced by Johnny Brantley, arranged by T.Staff
“I’m Gonna Be Good” is actually the original version of “From This Day On" (it’s listed with both titles at
www.bmi.com,
released as a B-side to “Why Is It Taking So Long” on ATLANTIC 45-2466.
I haven't heard the original track yet, but Gabe Monago who has this 45
and provided the scans below confirmed that it's indeed the original
version of the fake track. Both sides were recorded in New Jersey on the
20th of October 1967. The full session included (with Atlantic master
number listed first):
13341 Yes You Did
13342 I’m Gonna Be Good
13343 Why Is It Taking So Long
13344 A Fool For You
13345 Sophisticated Alabama Soup Bone
Rest of the tracks remain unreleased, although “Yes You Did” (from
acetate?) is in the possession of at least one soul collector / dj.
Atlantic logs don’t list any personnel. Herman Hitson released a version
of "Yes You Did" on Minit 32072 and Marion Farmer his own version of
“Sophisticated Alabama Soup Bone” on Tower 417. Neither track is one of
the fake tracks.
All of the tracks on "Moods" seem to have correct credits, the song
names & composers given are the same as for the original versions
(at least on all the tracks that have been discovered so far), and for
the ones for which the original version is still unknown the composers
listed in the BMI database
www.bmi.com
match the label credits on "Moods". Why Brantley went through the
trouble of wiping and overdubbing these tracks when they didn't have
Hendrix on them to start with is beyond me, why not just make new
recordings with some session musicians (well, in the following category
he did just that...)?

Hot trigger
These tracks are all Herman Hitson recordings. According to Hitson himself (visit his website at
www.atlantanorthernsoul.com)
these tracks were recorded for an album that was to be called "Free
Spirit". The tracks were produced by Johnny Brantley and Lee Moses, with
Moses also sharing lead vocals on "Hey Leroy".
Other than that the guitar & vocals are all by Herman Hitson. He
does say that Jimi had a "small part" in "some of the material", but
it's unclear what that part was and on which tracks if any as Hitson
might have been thinking of other sessions than this particular one. The
songs were eventually released by Brantley as Hendrix recordings...
"Let me thrill your soul" is a jam based on "Come on (pt. 1)"
released by Earl King. "Hey Leroy" is based on "Hey Leroy Your Mama's
Callin'!" released by Jimmy Castor in december 1966 (Smash 2069) 7".
"Something you got" is a cover of a song originally recorded by Chris
Kenner and later also by Curtis Knight & the Squires.
3. "One channel" songs
- Edda Mae
- Find Someone
- Be My Baby
- Nightlife
- Everything You Get
"Edda Mae" & "Find Someone" are originally tracks by the Ohio
Players, the original versions of both were produced by Johnny Brantley.
"Edda Mae" is based on a track called "
Find Someone To Love"
released on the flip of the single "Over The Rainbow" (Capitol 2523),
and on the lps "Observations In Time" (Capitol LP ST-192) and "First
Impressions" (Trip TLP-8029). The Ohio Players track has the vocals
wiped, has been mixed to the right channel and guitar (left channel) and
piano (right channel) overdubs have been added. Thanks to Rob
Pietrangeli for spotting this one.
"Find Someone" is based on a track called "
The Man That I Am"
released on the Ohio Players lp "Observations In Time" (Capitol LP
ST-192). Same recipe with guitar overdubs in the left channel and the
original track with vocals wiped on the right.
The rest of the tracks ("Be My Baby", "Nightlife", "Everything You
Get") have been treated the same with a guitar track mixed high in one
channel, and the rest of the track mixed low in another. The sources /
artists for these are still unidentified but some of these sound quite
similar to the Ohio Players tracks so that is a possibility, in any case
all original versions are very likely to be Johnny Brantley produced
tracks. "Everything You Get" is mono, but sounds like it probably would
have the same instrument separation as the others if it were stereo as
the guitar is well above the other instruments and sounds very similar
to the other tracks.
All of these fake tracks first appeared on the LP "Kaleidoscope" on Nutmeg NUT-1003 released in 1982.
4. Miscalleneous songs
- Jimmy Norman: Gangster Of Love
- Billy LaMont: Young Generation
- Unknown: You Got It
- Gloria Barnes?: It's Gonna Take A Lot To Bring Me Back Baby [Gonna Take A Lot]
These songs also pop up on various "Hendrix" albums, these don't fit
the description of the songs in the previous three categories.
Jimmy Norman: Gangster of love (Johnny "Guitar" Watson)
This song was released by
Jimmy Norman
as a single "Gangster of love (part 1) / Gangster of love (part 2)" on
JOSIE 45-994 in or shortly after march 1968, arranged by Ed Bland,
produced by Johnny Brantley for Vidalia Productions. Original version of
this song (also known as "Love bandit") was recorded (and composed) by
Johnny "Guitar" Watson, produced by Bumps Blackwell, and released on
Keen Records in 1958. This recording seems to have wah wah on the
guitar, so that automatically rules out Hendrix, as (once more with
feeling) the effect wasn't available until 1967.
Billy LaMont: Young Generation
Peter Strömbäck
spotted what seems to be either the original version or another
alternate take of this track called "Row Your Boat". The song is
included on a (apparently digital download only) compilation "
Billy LaMont - Sweet Thang: Fine R&B Sides".
The track as included on the compilation has been taken from vinyl, I
have been unable to find any original 45 release for this track or
indeed any reference to it at all other than this compilation. Either
the 45 is extremely rare, promo only or an unissued acetate or it was
originally released under a different title. We do however now have two
versions of the same song with different lyrics. The female backing
singers on "Young Generation" are still singing "row your boat" and the
LaMont's original "Row Your Boat" -vocals are only partially wiped and
still occasionally audible so the "Row Your Boat" -version definately
predates the "Young Generation" -version.
Unknown: You got it (?)
Sounds like late 70s, definately no Hendrix involment on this.
Gloria Barnes? : It's Gonna Take A Lot To Bring Me Back Baby
George Scott: I'm a Fool For You(Daisy Holland, Richard Poindexter)
An unknown female vocalist & George Scott both recorded this song also done by the Manhattans and
the Icemen.
The single version by The Manhattans "It's gonna take a lot to bring me
back / Give him up" (Deluxe #115) was released around dec 1969 / jan
1970. The Icemen's version was released on "It's Gonna Take A Lot To
Bring Me Back Baby / It's Time You Knew" (OLE-9 1007/8).
The female vocalist probably is Gloria Barnes who also recorded a
complete lp for Johnny Brantley, "Uptown" (Maple ????). The take with
female vocals was first released on “The Genius of Jimi Hendrix” in 1974
accompanied by genuine Brantley & Scene Club tracks.
The same backing track was also used for a version by George Scott,
re-titled "I'm a Fool For You" with new lyrics (but with the backing
vocalists still singing "to bring me back baby"!). This was released on
the lp "
Find Someone To Love"(Maple
6008). The guitar is much clearer on the George Scott version and does
sound more like it could be Hendrix, I need to re-asses this track at
some point, until that time it's still listed as a fake though.
