Ace Cannon Memphis Golden Hits Album Review | Classic Memphis Instrumental Music


Ace Cannon  Memphis Golden Hits, Vinyl Lp

HI RECORDS 1968                      SHL 32040


Notes:


John "Ace" Cannon (born 5 May 1934 in Grenada, Mississippi) 
is an American tenor and alto saxophonist. He played and toured
 with Hi Records stablemate Bill Black's Combo,and started
 a solo career with his record "Tuff" in 1961, using the Black 
combo as his backing group. "Tuff" hit #17 on the U.S. Billboard 
Hot 100 in 1962, and the follow-up single "Blues (Stay Away from Me)"
 hit #36 that same year.[1] In April 1965, he released Ace Cannon 
Live (HL 12025); according to the liner notes by Nick Pesce the album was 
recorded in front of a live audience inside Hi's recording studio, 
and Pesce claims this was the first time such an album had
 ever been recorded(as opposed to previous live albums 
recorded in concert venues).
