Otis Blackwell

Otis Blackwell (February 16, 1931 – May 6, 2002) was an American songwriter, singer, and pianist, whose work influenced rock and roll. His compositions include "Fever", recorded by Little Willie John; "Great Balls of Fire" and "Breathless", recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis; "Don't Be Cruel", "All Shook Up" and "Return to Sender" (with Winfield Scott), recorded by Elvis Presley; and "Handy Man", recorded by Jimmy Jones.

Biography

Blackwell was born in Brooklyn, New York. He learned to play the piano as a child and grew up listening to both R&B and country music.

His first success was winning a local talent contest ("Amateur Night") at the Apollo Theater, in Harlem, in 1952. This led to a recording contract with RCA and then with Jay-Dee. His first release was his own composition "Daddy Rolling Stone", which became a favorite in Jamaica, where it was recorded by Derek Martin. The song later became part of the Who's mod repertoire. Enjoying some early recording and performing success, he found his first love was songwriting and by 1955 had settled into the groove that he would ride for decades. His first successes as a songwriter came in 1956, when Little Willie John's R&B hit with the sultry "Fever" was an even bigger pop success for Peggy Lee, and "Don't Be Cruel" began a highly profitable association with Elvis Presley.

Blackwell was one of the leading African-American figures of early rock and roll, although he was not well known by the public. His own records never cracked the Top 40, yet he wrote million-selling songs for Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dee Clark and others. He also recruited other songwriters to write for Presley, such as Winfield Scott.

In the liner notes of Elvis' Golden Records (1958), Anne Fulchino, of RCA, wrote,

While sipping coffee, Steve Sholes pulled out a demonstration record of 'Don't Be Cruel' and told Elvis it was a new song written by Otis Blackwell, whom Elvis had long admired as a rhythm and blues artist. It took just a few bars to convince Presley that it was a perfect song for him, and he decided to cut it right away. Presley learned the song within minutes—he had an inherent musical sense—and in short order a great master was put on tape.It isn't often that the title of a song will create a whole new expression in Americana. 'All Shook Up' did exactly that. Youngsters and adults alike have made the phrase a common part of everyday usage. The background to the song itself is a rather interesting one. Since the huge success of 'Don't Be Cruel', Elvis had been anxious to record another song from the pen of Otis Blackwell. Eventually, Blackwell came around with 'All Shook Up' (first recorded by David Hill on Aladdin). Presley wasn't completely satisfied with the song, and with Blackwell's consent re-wrote part of the lyrics. Thus, as co-writer as well as artist, Presley produced his ninth consecutive gold record, his first in the year 1957.

During an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman, Blackwell said he never met Presley in person. When he was having a contract dispute with his publishing company, he also wrote under the white-sounding pen name John Davenport. Blackwell composed more than a thousand songs, garnering worldwide sales of close to 200 million records. Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, asked Blackwell to appear in the Presley movie Girls! Girls! Girls!, for which he had written "Return to Sender", but a superstition about meeting Presley kept him from accepting.

In 1956, Blackwell gave "Don't Be Cruel" to friend Frankie Valli's group, the Four Lovers, but as they were recording it he asked to take it back and in turn gave it to the up-and-coming Presley. In exchange for this song he gave them "You're the Apple of My Eye", which became a chart hit for the Four Lovers (Billboard number 64). The song was performed on Ed Sullivan's television show that same year and was probably instrumental in at least shaping events for the group to eventually becoming the Four Seasons. A shortened version of "You're the Apple of My Eye" is also featured in the Broadway show "Jersey Boys".

As the tide of rock and roll receded, Blackwell recorded R&B songs for numerous labels, including Atlantic, MGM and Epic. In later years he was in semi-retirement, making only occasional live appearances.

In the 1980s, Blackwell toured and recorded with the Smithereens as his backing band for both live shows and studio recordings. The partnership produced two self-funded albums, "Let's Talk About Us" and "From the Beginning," which were released independently on Blackwell's ROC-CO imprint.

In 1991, Blackwell was paralyzed by a stroke. Three years later, Shanachie released the album Brace Yourself! A Tribute to Otis Blackwell, containing 15 songs written by Blackwell and recorded by the likes of Kris Kristofferson ("All Shook Up"), Blondie's Debbie Harry ("Don't Be Cruel"), the Smithereens ("Let's Talk About Us"), Graham Parker ("Paralyzed"), and Ronnie Spector ("Brace Yourself").

Blackwell died of a heart attack in 2002, in Nashville, Tennessee, and was interred in Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in that city.

Awards and recognitions

Otis Blackwell was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1986 and in 1991 into the National Academy of Popular Music's Songwriters Hall of Fame. Blackwell's crowning moment came in the late 1980s when the Black Rock Coalition, a prominent organization of black rock musicians, led by Vernon Reid, the lead guitarist of the band, Living Colour, held a tribute for him at the Prospect Park Bandshell in his native Brooklyn. Many prominent musicians and singers took part including Blackwell himself, who performed an assortment of his best songs, including "One Broken Heart for Sale," "Back Trail," "Don't Be Cruel" and "Daddy Rolling Stone."

Blackwell was named one of the 2010 recipients of Ahmet Ertegun Award in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This category encompasses those who primarily work behind the scenes in the music industry.

Legacy

Blackwell was one of the greatest R&B songwriters of all time. His songwriting style is as uniquely identifiable as that of Leiber and Stoller, Chuck Berry, or Willie Dixon and helped redefine popular music in America in the 1950s. This is true even though he often collaborated with such partners as Winfield Scott, Eddie Cooley, and Jack Hammer. Blackwell was one of the most important innovators who helped invent the musical vocabulary of rock and roll at its very beginning. His works have been recorded by a host of major artists, including Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, James Brown, the Who, Johnny Thunders, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Dolly Parton, Conway Twitty, the Judds, Carl Perkins and Peggy Lee, among numerous others. At other times in his career, Blackwell was also successful as a record producer, having helped turn out hits for artists as diverse as Connie Francis, Mahalia Jackson and Sal Mineo.

Songs

Songs composed by Blackwell, with the performers who made them famous, include the following:

"All Shook Up" (Elvis Presley)

"Don't Be Cruel" (Elvis Presley); inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002

"Fever" as "John Davenport" with Eddie Cooley (Peggy Lee, inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998; Little Willie John, Madonna, the McCoys, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Over the Rhine, and numerous other performers).

"Great Balls of Fire" (Jerry Lee Lewis); inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998

"Breathless" (Jerry Lee Lewis, X)

"Let's Talk About Us" (Jerry Lee Lewis)

"Hey Little Girl" (Dee Clark)

"Handy Man" (Jimmy Jones, Del Shannon, James Taylor)

Ravens snag Trevon Moehrig, a safety who can do it all, with the 31st pick

Brett Rojo-USA TODAY Sports

The hawking safety would be an immediate contributor to an already talented secondary.

With the 31st pick in the 2021 SB Nation mock draft, Baltimore Beatdown selects Trevon Moehrig, safety, TCU. Moehrig joins Terrace Marshall Jr. to round out the Ravens’ first round.

Moehrig is the perfect “but they needed a ______” pick. In this scenario, the Ravens already rounded out their receiver room, fulfilling one perceived need. Ignoring edge rushers and the offensive line is a bold move, as the Ravens don’t pick again until the 94th pick. However, the Ravens have hosted Alejandro Villanueva and Justin Houston, with strong rumors that at least one will be signed after the May 3 deadline for the compensatory formula. If those deals are in place, the Ravens will get to prove their affinity for taking the best player available. Moehrig certainly fits the description, as you’ll struggle to find many pundits with a low grade on the rangy, intelligent, playmaking safety.

This move puts off Marlon Humphrey in 2017 vibes. The Ravens already had corners. Many thought O.J. Howard or Reuben Foster made more sense. Humphrey felt like a luxury rather than a need. However, many failed to see the long-term plan. Humphrey fit the press man, play the receiver and disrupt the catch point, aggressive play style that the Ravens love in their corners. Fast forward to 2021. Marlon Humphrey is a bonafide star cornerback with an All-Pro on his resume and a $100 million contract keeping him in Baltimore for the foreseeable future.

Moehrig, a former four-star cornerback who had offers from Georgia and Texas among other big-time programs, has the best cover skills of any safety in this class. He didn’t test well at TCU’s pro day, with reports coming out that he was at “80%” after he had a flare up in his back.

Considering he ran a 4.52 40-yard dash with a 1.59 10-yard split at 80%, he still recorded relatively impressive numbers. Moehrig’s athleticism is never an issue on tape. He’s a tried and true technician, who excels in off coverage from split safety alignments with adequate range as the single high safety as well. He’s the type of defender who makes a receiver who runs a 4.3 look like they run a 4.6. Moehrig is clearly a film junkie, who almost looks bored at times when he easily runs receivers routes for them.

He possesses fluid hips, precise and calm feet to transition at the stem. When receivers define their break, he cleanly initiated contact without being sloppy, thwarting their ability to separate. The former Horned Frog, similar to Marlon Humphrey, has pneumatic strikes into the catch point, often forcing incompletions that would’ve been caught without his strikes.

Trevon anticipates, breaks, stays in phase and undercuts passes frequently. His ball production will translate to the NFL.

Hey! You! Yeah, I’m talking to you, big head. You’re the fool who doesn’t think Trevon Moehrig is an absolute baller. Here are all the plays Trevon Moehrig made against Oklahoma in 2020... ... ... ... ... In the first half... pic.twitter.com/WMDXCAqcqj

#TCU safety Trevon Moehrig (6-2, 202, Jr.) is arguably the most versatile safety in the country. Has shown that he can roam as a centerfielder on the roof, dependable in man coverage and a reliable tackler coming downhill. Also a constant turnover creator. pic.twitter.com/M5M6c2baxS

No. 1 safety in the NFL Draft: Trevon Moehrig has made 28 plays on the ball since 2019 Five more than any other Power 5 safety pic.twitter.com/ArprDPheGJ

— PFF Draft (@PFF_College) April 22, 2021

Moehrig is about as solid of a safety prospect as they come. He’s reliable in run fits from either alignment. His open field tackle ability is reliable, while not spectacular. The former corner’s ball production is consistently prolific. You don’t see many highs or lows in Moehrig’s game. He looks more or less the same each and every week. His production in the first half matches his production in the second half. He has the physicality to engage with tight ends and stay in phase, with the change of direction and intelligence to mirror slot receivers while detailing them.

Moehrig is a safe bet. While he might not be an explosive hitter, he gets the job done time and time again. Moehrig consistently communicates pre-snap and seemed to have major responsibility to align his teammates. There are very few holes to poke in his game.

From @NFLMatchup — We looked at the multi-dimensional traits of the safety prospects in the ‘21 draft class. • Trevon Moehrig • Richie Grant • Andre Cisco • Hamsah Nasirildeen • Jevon Holland • Divine Deablo @gregcosell pic.twitter.com/i0uZ06GuFu

— Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) April 23, 2021

With Chuck Clark as the only Ravens safety under contract in 2022, Baltimore absolutely needs to address the position this week. Moehrig provides a long-term partner for Clark. While DeShon Elliott could still sign an extension, Moehrig would excel in the Ravens’ man-heavy, blitz-heavy defense. He would provide the range and length that Eric DeCosta clearly desired when he signed Earl Thomas. Adding Moehrig provides immediate stability at an important position, would allow Chuck Clark and DeShon Elliott to play more in the box, plus using more dime packages on third down in 2021.

Trevon checks all the boxes and makes tons of sense as a home run fit in the immediate future as well as long-term impact in Baltimore.

Lucy and Robert Goulet

S6;E8~ October 30, 1967

Synopsis

When a trucker named Chuck Willis is turned down for a loan, Lucy notices his remarkable resemblance to Robert Goulet. She is determined to help him win a look-alike contest and enlists Mr. Mooney as her photographer.

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carmichael), Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney)

Roy Roberts (Harrison Winfield Cheever) and Mary Jane Croft (Mary Jane Lewis) do not appear in this episode, although Mary Jane is mentioned.

Guest Cast

Robert Goulet (Chuck Willis / Himself / Arthur Finster) was born in Massachusetts to a French-Canadian family. His first big break was as Sir Lancelot in the Broadway musical Camelot, introducing “If Ever I Would Leave You” which became his signature song. Goulet was on Broadway at the same time that Lucille Ball was appearing in her one and only musical Wildcat. Less than a year after this episode was filmed, Goulet appeared on Broadway again in The Happy Time, for which he won a Tony Award. He was successful in films, television, and recordings. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball. He died in 2007 at the age of 73.

Willis owns a small trucking company consisting of one truck that is 21 years old.

Mary Wickes (Miss Hurlow) was one of Lucille Ball’s closest friends and at one time, a neighbor. She made a memorable appearances on “I Love Lucy” as ballet mistress Madame Lamond in “The Ballet” (ILL S1;E19). In her initial “Lucy Show” appearances her characters name was Frances, but she then made four more as a variety of characters. Wickes also appeared in nine episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” Their final collaboration on screen was “Lucy Calls the President” in 1977.

Miss Hurlow is Robert Goulet’s assistant, in charge of sorting through submissions for his look-alike contest.

Lucie Arnaz (Dotty) was the real life daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. She previously appeared on “The Lucy Show” as Cynthia, a friend of Lucy’s daughter Chris. She also did background appearances, most recently with her brother Desi Jr. in “Lucy at Marineland” (S5;E1). This is her final appearance on “The Lucy Show” before becoming a regular on “Here’s Lucy.”

Dotty works at the studio with Mary Jane. Although called Dotty in the dialogue, the end credits list her as Dorothy.

Vanda Barra (Waitress) makes the first of her six appearances on the series. She was married to Sid Gould, so is Lucille Ball's cousin-in-law. She will also make 23 appearances on “Here's Lucy” as well as appearing in Ball's two 1975 TV movies “Lucy Gets Lucky” (with Dean Martin) and “Three for Two” (with Jackie Gleason).

Sid Gould (Messenger) made more than 45 appearances on “The Lucy Show,” all as background characters. He also did 40 episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” Gould (born Sydney Greenfader) was Lucille Ball’s cousin by marriage to Gary Morton.

Joan Carey (Bank Customer, uncredited) was a frequent background player on “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show” where she eventually became Lucille Ball’s camera and lighting stand-in.

Customers, bank employees, and bank customers are all played by uncredited extras. The episode also includes a live horse, which Lucy addresses as 'Dobbin.’

This is the only episode written by Douglas Morrow. Morrow was primarily known as the screenwriter of Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956). The film featured frequent “Lucy Show” extras George DeNormand, James Gonzales, Mike Lally, and Hal Taggart. The movie was remade in 2009.

Nepotism Alert! This episode features three of Lucille Ball's relatives (Lucie Arnaz, Vanda Barra, and Sid Gould) and her old friend Mary Wickes. Gary Morton, Ball's husband, was executive producer and the show's warm-up act. All of them, with the addition of her son Desi Arnaz Jr., will also be part of “Here's Lucy.”

It seems possible that Dotty's dialogue was originally written for Mary Jane, but that Croft was either ill or unavailable. This also seemed to be the case in “Lucy Gets Her Diploma” (S6;E5) where Doris Singleton took the best friend role with lines that could easily have been spoken by Mary Jane. Of course, Lucille Ball might have also have been trying to find work for old friend Singleton and her daughter by reassigning previously written roles while Croft was on salary as a contract performer.

The date this episode first aired (October 30, 1967), actor Charles Trowbridge died. He had appeared with Lucille Ball in Her Husband's Affairs (1947) and A Woman of Distinction (1950), which also featured Gale Gordon. Trowbridge was a veteran of 25 Broadway plays.

The look-alike contest is said to be tied in to Goulet's new picture The Long Ride of Marshall Burke. Although this is not a real movie, it was not uncommon for actors' appearances to be tied to the release of their newest motion picture. For example, on “I Love Lucy” John Wayne waived nearly all his salary in return for promotional mention (and a large poster) of Blood Alley (1955).

The waitress (Vanda Barra) sarcastically calls Lucy 'Diamond Jane Brady' after ordering just a bowl of hot water to save money. James Buchanan Brady (1856-1917) aka Diamond Jim Brady, was a real-life millionaire and philanthropist who was fond of jewels (hence the nickname). Lucy adds ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, lemon, salt, pepper, and crackers making a sort of tomato soup. Lucille Ball claimed that this was something she actually did when she was a young model / actress living in a boarding house in New York City.

Seeing Lucy's odd concoction, Dotty says “Congratulations. You're winning the war on poverty.” The War on Poverty is the unofficial name for legislation first introduced by President Johnson during his State of the Union address on January 8, 1964.

Lucy says she once entered an Elizabeth Taylor look-alike contest and never even heard from them. Elizabeth Taylor was frequently mentioned on “The Lucy Show.” Taylor will play herself in a 1970 episode of “Here's Lucy.”

Mr. Mooney says that Lucy takes longer to eat lunch than Henry the Eighth. The English monarch (1491-1547) was famous for his girth and huge appetite. Charles Laughton (above) played the gluttonous monarch in a 1933 British film.

We finally learn the name of the movie studio that Mary Jane (and Dotty) work for: Mammoth Studios. Mammoth Studios is the generic name used for fictional movie studios in movies, television, books and comic books. Mammoth Pictures Studios has appeared in movies such as Bombshell (1933), Abbott and Costello in Hollywood (1945), and Merton of the Movies (1947), as well as the television series “The Beverly Hillbillies” (1964-71), “The Monkees" (1966-68) and “Bewitched” (1964-72).

Lucy thinks a photo of the Grand Canyon is Mr. Mooney's wife. Mr. Mooney agrees that is does look like Irma with her mouth open. Ouch!

Trying to flatter Mr. Mooney about his photography, Lucy calls him another Leonardo da Vinci. The Renaissance painter and inventor (1452-1519) is considered one of the greatest artists to have ever lived. He is probably most famous for his painting of the Mona Lisa, which Lucy embodied in “Lucy Goes To Art Class” (S2;E15). Mr. Mooney's ego knows no bounds!

Looking at the aging horse with the sagging back, Mr. Mooney asks “That's a horse?” Lucy replies “What did you expect for $3? Man o' War?” Man o' War (1917-47) is considered one of the greatest race horses of all time. He won 20 of 21 races and won nearly $250,000 in purses. Live horses have been part of several “Lucy Show” episodes: “Lucy Visits the White House” (S1;E25), “Kiddie Parties Inc.” (S2;E2), “Lucy and Arthur Godfrey” (S3;E23), “Lucy and the Countess Have a Horse Guest” (S4;E6), and “Lucy Discovers Wayne Newton” (S4;E14).

When Mr. Mooney helps Chuck Willis get on a horse for his photo, he comments that there probably was not this much trouble making Gone with the Wind. Lucille Ball was considered for the lead role in Gone With the Wind (1939), which went to Vivian Leigh (right) instead.

Spoilers! The winner of the Robert Goulet contest is Arthur Finster. Second place went to Melvin Koppel, and Irving Schwartz came in third. Finster is the only contestant who appears on camera.

To show of his famous voice, Robert Goulet sings a song that he says he wrote, accompanying himself on the piano.

When Miss Hurlow says that Mr. Mooney's photo of Chuck Willis does look a bit like him, Robert Goulet says “that's the worst thing said about me since I forgot the words to 'The Star Spangled Banner'.” At the 1965 Muhammad Ali / Sonny Liston fight, Canadian Robert Goulet famously sang "the dawn's early night" instead of "the dawn's early light," leading some boxing fans to conclude that Goulet was predicting Ali's first-round knockout of the former champ.

Robert Goulet, Chuck Willis, and Arthur Finster are never seen on the set at the same time, so it is possible (due to the configuration of the doors) that Goulet did the quick changes in one take, without cutting. Possible, but unlikely.

Callbacks!

Dean Martin also had a look-alike on “The Lucy Show” in “Lucy Dates Dean Martin” (S4;E21). In “Lucy and the Plumber” (S3;E2) Harry Tuttle is a ringer for comedian Jack Benny.

Lucy Carter will enter a Lucille Ball look-alike contest in a 1974 episode of “Here's Lucy.”

Trouble mounting a horse was also a source for comedy in “The Fox Hunt” (ILL S5;E16) and “Lucy and Arthur Godfrey” (S3;E23).

Blooper Alerts!

Logistics! To accommodate the action of the episode, Mr. Mooney's desk is in the bank lobby instead of his private office.

Font of Inspiration! The Desilu set decorators use the same lettering for the door marked 'private' in Goulet's office as they used on the 'private' door behind Mr. Mooney's desk.

Purse Down! At the bank, Lucy accidentally knocks her purse off the counter. Goulet bends down and picks it up while she is writing down her address for him and the scene continues uninterrupted.

Just because you live in the Wichita doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a soothing soak in a hot tub. As anyone who indulges in winter a hot tub soak will tell you, it is amazingly invigorating. Those warm waters will wash away all the tension you’ve built up during the day. The pulsating jets knead your tight muscles and simply release the stress. All of those warm waters will work wonders on your circulation, joint pain and blood pressure. As an added bonus, you’ll also find it is easier to fall asleep after you’ve unwound in a hot tub right before bed. The only thing standing between you and all those amazing benefits is getting the right hot tub for your property.

Along with some poor choices in carpets and paints, homeowners often “inherit” an old hot tub with a new home purchase. Although this might have been a nice little amenity, the harsh reality is that old hot tub is now in disrepair. You also don’t really know what happened in there before you. That’s why it might be time to chuck it out and bring in a new model. It’s that “chucking out” that could cause some issues. After all, a hot tub is not something you can merely toss out with the weekly garbage. This is a job for Wichita Hauling Junk & Moving Junk crew!
