Here's how the planning process, or lack thereof, works around HOTG. My wife and I made a quick round trip drive to Memphis last weekend; and, listening to CDs on the way, "Pop, Popcorn Children" popped up on one of my comps. Though I'd heard it countless times, I was immediately juiced to do a feature on that great, supremely quirky track by Eldridge Homes backed by none other than the Meters.
This New Orleans vocalist is under-recognized, if not flat out overlooked, and, except for one record, worked exclusively with Allen Toussaint during his decade-long recording career. Since I haven't done a post on him for far too long , I decided to include a couple of his earlier sides as well.
It does not appear that the singer had done any recording prior to signing with Alon; and I don't know how he initially came to Toussaint's attention. Also a talented songwriter who penned many of his own sides, Holmes wrote this catchy, distinctive little number which he and Toussaint steered well into pop waters, reflecting the British sound taking radio by storm back then. The harmonica as lead instrument certainly set the song apart from most of the New Orleans records of the day; but you can hear a bit of syncopated interaction in the kick drum and snare on the tune, too.
On the flip side, "The Sooner Your Realize", written by the producer under his nome de plume, Naomi Neville, displayed a fine, if typical, mid-tempo Crescent City groove that really better showcased Holmes' vocal chops; but I chose his own composition for its unique flavor. If you want to hear why Holmes should be ranked among New Orleans top vocalists, approaching Johnny Adams territory, seek out his deep soul numbers. Other than Benny Spellman, none of the Alon artists were well known; but, I am sure it was hoped that the youthful Toussaint's touch would change that.
Fate, of course, intervened, as Toussaint, who was in his early 20s, soon got a draft notice and was stationed at Fort Hood in Texas, curtailing his studio work for several years. Unfortunately, none generated any more than local interest at best. It was getting harder to compete with the onslaught of the British Invasion. Toussaint - E. Holmes Eldridge Holmes, Jet Set , ca Eldridge Holmes' first two post-Alon singles appeared on Jet Set, a short-lived Washington, DC label, during a transitional time for Toussaint, who had returned from the service in and quickly become dissatisfied with the status quo at Alon.
As a result, Toussaint withdrew from Alon and with Sehorn quickly forged a new business partnership for production and recording, Tou-Sea Productions, later renamed Sansu Enterprises. Dorsey would soon become their premier artist.
