A true ground breaker on many fronts — Louis Jordan originally wrote and recorded this tune as a Calypso. It was an emerging sound in North America at the time as it bubbled up from the Caribbean. The story in ‘Run Joe’ must have ushered in inspiration for many a musician as the tune has been covered and re-invented numerous times. Down in New Orleans groups such as the Neville Brothers, Bo Dollis & The Wild Magnolias and even the Dirty Dozen play it was a more African flare with touches of Highlife on top of it’s Calypso base. Perhaps it’s a product of New Orleans being the melting pot of all things Carribean!
‘Unchain My Heart’ was undeniably identified with Ray Charles (even with a cover by Pop sensation Trinny Lopez) — that is until the 1987 album of the same name. Joe Cocker’s Rock and Blues spin on the Soul classic flipped it on it’s head. Many musos will first reach for a cut of Cocker’s take over the relatively subdued motions of Charles’ classic rendition.
