Cool stuff.......2006-08-22

" that's what happens" is one of my favorite soul tracks... it's such a driving force to listen to that song... That song alone is worth the price of the album-

A nice pick up for building your soul collection-

Howard Tate's Reaction.......2005-07-20

This record has one of the best sides I have heard. I would compare it to the quality and intensity of Aretha Franklin's "Now" album. Every number on side one jumps and is simply great. Side two slows it down, establishing a different groove and is good, but you just can't keep from smiling and having a great time listening to the first side. Great voice, great songs, and perfect arrangements.

Rare Treasure.......2004-02-10

These ultrarare Turntable sides are finally on cd! Howard is in top form with great backing from New York Session Players

Pop music has a virtual anti-pantheon of artists foiled by drugs, tragedy, and cruel fortunes. Indeed cult R&B star Howard Tate seems to have hit some sort of fateful trifecta in the mid-'70s, not only cutting short a promising career but leading to one of the most puzzling "whatever happened to?" stories in pop music. While Tate's vibrant 1960's hits lived on in covers by everyone from Janis Joplin ("Get It While You Can") and Jimi Hendrix ("Stop") to B.B. King ("Ain't Nobody Home"), the Philadelphia native abandoned the music business, sold securities, and wrestled with addiction until a mid-'90s religious experience led to his founding/pastoring a local church--and eventually to a fateful reunion with producer/writer Jerry Ragovoy, the original partner in Tate's abandoned musical legacy. Ragovoy calls Tate "the missing link between Jackie Wilson and Al Green," and the veteran team wastes no time showing it here, whether lighting up the bluesy "Mama Was Right" and "Sorry, Wrong Number" with a sinewy tenor that's miraculously persevered decades of neglect, bringing gospel fervor to the Elvis Costello co-written "Either Side of the Same Time" and "Get It While You Can," or playfully bobbing `n' weaving with the Uptown Horns on "She May Be White (But She Be Funky)." The album's classic Philly soul sound may break little new ground, but just hearing Howard Tate's taut, emotion-packed voice dart and soar like it's 1968 again is more than enough recommendation. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing.......2004-02-06

This is not Howard Tate at his best. The songs are average, the arrangements average...his voice is as strong as ever; nonetheless, pedestrian outing. Everything else in his catalogue is a better starting point for the uninitiated.

Get It While You Can!.......2003-11-07

I notice that his first album is going here starting at $199. Man, I bought that one once in a cut-out bin for 99 cents! Anyway, the best song on it is Get It While You Can, which is also on this one. So do.

Saw him live first, CD 2nd, still impressed.......2003-07-23

I first heard of Howard Tate only two weeks ago on the set of the Late Show with David Letterman, where he was the musical guest and I was an audience member. After being very taken by his "Get It While You Can," I went out to buy the new album. Every song captures the emotion and drive that makes people turn their heads and grin, a quality that today's 'cardboard music' is missing. I strongly reccommend this CD to anyone with an ear for talent.

By the way..........2003-07-13

..when I said "missing in action" in my last review, I meant missing in action in the music world, not a war or anything. Anyway, I'm glad he's back and this is one CD well worth having.

Voices like this are made in heaven........2003-07-13

I didn't know much about Howard Tate until a friend of mine who's very knowledgeable about all kinds of music told me about him a year or so ago, and I found out that this guy had been missing in action for many, many years. People thought he was dead, but thank goodness he wasn't dead, and what a resurrection he's made! With a voice that can open up the skies and a soulfulness that can bring you to your knees, this album is nothing short of blues perfection and all I can say is "Welcome back, Mr. Tate. You've been gone much too long."

Album Description

The Legendary Soul Singer's Greatest Hits Live

One of the last great soul singers still standing, Howard Tate disappeared, literally, after a run of R&B hits in the late '60s. Now, more than 30 years later, he's back with Live, the culmination of his entire career. His only concert album, Live captures Tate bringing his classic old-school soul intensity to currently out-of-print R&B and Pop chart hits such as "Get It While You Can" (covered by Janis Joplin), "Stop" (covered by Jimi Hendrix), "Ain't Nobody Home" (covered by B.B. King) and "Look At Granny Run, Run" (covered by Ry Cooder).

In addition to his classic '60s recordings, Tate also includes a number of gems from his '70s albums, as well as his 2003 comeback album, Rediscovered. The result is a testament to an influential and still-vital soul master.

Customer Reviews:

Best falsetto around.......2007-03-12

It's a blessing to have Howard Tate with us again. Since his comeback a few years ago, he has been driving world audiences crazy. Tate - a top soul singer - can offer the entire package: tone, control, power and awesome falsetto. Just one remark, songs are too short; such an artist needs to be left free to stretch. No matter where he will go, fine with us. At the ivories, one of the best around today: Austin DeLone.

Essential for Howard Tate fans.......2006-08-22

What can I say- This is more Howard Tate! He is still in good form and the songs are played very close to the original versions he recorded. The band is decent and there are no consessions made to modernize his sound. I Love This Guy! One of the best voices in all of soul music. My all time favorite male vocalist! If You like other Howard Tate records this will not dissapoint.

The greatest soul singer ever to fall below '60s pop radar, Howard Tate remains a tantalizing cipher remembered only through explosive cover versions of his late '60s singles by a blue-chip array of fans including Janis Joplin, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, and Ry Cooder. Tate's original versions were even better: his ecstatic falsetto, sinuous tenor releases, and gruff asides placed him in a category of R&B vocal stylists as lofty as his stratospheric pompadour. But the Macon-born, Philadelphia-raised former doo-wopper eluded broader acclaim despite a string of powerful performances that just dented the charts. As produced by R&B stalwart Jerry Ragovoy, Tate's sessions mixed emotive standouts, including "Ain't Nobody Home," "Stop," "Get It While You Can," and "Look at Granny Run Run," with shrewd soul updates of electric blues classics like "How Blue Can You Get" and King's signature tune, "Everyday I Have the Blues." The singer's vein-popping performances are matched by rock-solid arrangements and production, well served in this overdue anthology. As for Tate, he disappeared into legend in the early '70s, making this mother lode of deathless soul all the more valuable. --Sam Sutherland

1966...Ain't Nobody Home! [5+++*'s] .......2007-03-25

All you need to know is "Ain't Nobody Home" is one of the all-time SOUL Records of the 1960's! This alone is worth the price of this "now" CD.

Growing up in the 50's & 60's, there was so much to be influenced by musically. In the Soul category, if nothing else by Howard Tate was noteworthy, "Ain't Nobody Home" was the epitome of what the greatest Soul Sounds were all about. And if you listened to Soul Radio, 1966 was arguably its best year in the 60's! Some may argue 1967 was better but some of '67's best tunes hit the airwaves in late '66.

Altogether, you had, "Try A Little Tenderness" by Otis, "Are You Lonely For Me Baby" by Freddie Scott, "I'm Walking Out On You" by Reuben Wright, "Reach Out I'll Be There" by The 4 Tops, "Wait A Minute" by Tim Tam & The Turn-Ons, and "Ain't Nobody Home" by Howard Tate. Yeah, it didn't stop there, there were hundreds of thousands tunes in that mighty year, but these were 'some of' my favorites Soul tunes that year. Yeah, 1967 was the year Otis and Freddie made the aforementioned hits popular, but it was late in 1966 when those songs hit the airwaves on Soul Radio. Of course, this is by no means intended to disrespect the very early '60's. I absolutely admired everything Soul-wise leading up to 1966.

"Look At Granny Run" is great [B+], his follow-up hit, but all you really, really need here is "Ain't Nobody Home" [A+++]! If you have to pay $100, it's worth it!

BTW, I got this CD back in the early 90's on Mercury, I wanted a cleaner version of "Ain't Nobody Home" that badly! I would've paid whatever the price tag.

I also still have the original 45rpm on Verve Records from 1966; scratches and all. ;)

This is the REAL DEAL! Buy it........2006-03-30

Let me begin by admitting that I am not a big soul music fan. Generally, I am happier with Szell conducting Mozart or Dave Goulder singing about following along as his dad plowed the fields. BUT about 30 years ago I found the Verve Howard Tate LP with the best of this CD's material on it and it just blew me away! The songs are incredible. Hey, look who has covered them! The arrangements are basic, but perfect. And that voice! Man, Howard Tate is right along side Otis, Aretha, Ray Charles and Bobby Bland! It's no so much that they sing well, though they do of course! They convince you! You BELIEVE them the same way you believe Townes Van Zandt or Hank Williams! Listen to "Glad I Knew Better". This is testimony! This song by this man has my vote as one of the best pop songs of all time and the best soul song full stop.

Rhythm & BLUES (emphasis on Blues) at its best.......2005-05-14

First of all, the new CD version, put out by Hip-O, can be purchased for a reasonable price. You also get some alternate versions of a few songs as a bonus. The cover is blue and maroon in stead of black and grey.

The CD itself is awesome. The general public may have never heard of Howard Tate, but those in the music business did. Songs from this album were covered by the creme de la creme of Blues and Blues-Rock: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Ry Cooder, Al Kooper & Mike Bloomfield, and B.B. King. In other words, the songs are in themselves great, but with Howard Tate's smooth and soaring vocals, there is a whole new dimension of soul in these songs that is missing from the more famous covers.

Buy this CD (but don't pay the $65+++ that people are charging for it). If you like blues, soul, R&B, or any of the artists named above, you won't be disappointed.

This album is the goods........2004-04-30

No less than Otis Redding declared this the bible of Southern Soul. Who are we to argue?

BTW, Hip-O Select is reissuing this. $20. On their website.

Lost music fan In NYC.......2004-03-18

Just to set the record straight. I produced this re-issue back in 1991 and can attest to the fact that the original mix-down master tapes were used and the unreleased tracks mixed from the original 3 & 4 track master tapes. Songs correspond to the booklet which contains all production info as well as a new essay and reprints of the original liner notes. Howard was still "missing" at the time and quite frankly it was a miracle that we were able to get the powers to be at PolyGram to allow us to put it out. Alas once again lack of sales doomed it to be cut-out within a few years. Are we talking about the same record? From the five star reviews from everyone else it leads me to wonder if "Music Fan" didn't buy a bootleg or something?
"Get It While You Can" is, was and always will be one of the all time great records. - JRap

This is a masterpiece! I can't believe it hasn't gotten more notice. One of my favorite releases this year. Howard is in top form, and the musical styles offset his vocals brilliantly. It's also great to hear some originals by Tate as well. The album is a broad reflection of his life story and I found that aspect very moving.

Why can't we have this splendid CD easily ?.......2007-01-27

Howard Tate has a solid and soulful voice with a fine falsetto, and was a great soul generator of the late 60s' Philadelphia. Despite his lack of hits, he is a potential singer equal to soul greats like Otis, Pickett or Solomon. This CD contains his Verve years produced by Jerry Ragovoy, one of great east-coast soul composer-producers like Bert Berns. Howard later released songs at Atlantic and Turntable label which are easier to get than Verve ones. I dare say that this Verve tunes should be released unlimitedly and should be got easier than now. The lack of his songs is not only the manufucturer's loss but our loss.

classic.......2006-08-22

A soul Classic... Otis wasn't kidding when he called it the bible of soul-

The hip-o-select reissue is really somthing... you get the stereo and mono versions of Tate's singles, along with a few bonus tracks.

A must for any follower of great soul music-

As good as soul gets!.......2005-11-03

You may not have heard of Howard Tate but you've probably heard his songs. Tracks on this amazing Lp have been covered by Janis Joplin (get it while you can), Jimi Hendrix (stop), Ry Cooder (look at grany run run) and BB king (ain't nobody home). The material is top notch soul, The musicians are all amazing and the vocal performance is Stellar. I say all this without hyperbole! If you like Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, BB king etc this will become your favorite LP in no time. Howard Tate is one of the best soul singers of all time. Not to be missed.
