18 de abr. de 2024 · Hank Ballard was an American rhythm-and-blues singer and songwriter best remembered for songs that were frequently as scandalous as they were inventive, most notably the salacious ‘Work with Me Annie’ (1954). He also wrote ‘The Twist’ (1959), which sparked a dance craze in the United States.
Hank Ballard loved to push the envelope. His explicit “Annie” trilogy was widely banned but widely beloved. His success is a perfect representation of rock and roll appeal—it behaves so bad but it sounds so good.
Hank Ballard grew up singing gospel in church in his hometown of Bessemer, Alabama. He had always wanted to sing professionally, and at 16 years of age got a chance to do it when he took over a group called The Royals, which had been organized in 1950 (and among whose original members were Levi Stubbs and Jackie Wilson).
En el mundo de rhythm & blues y doo-wop, Hank Ballard era la definición de la terrenalidad. Aunque influido por grupos vocales de gospel de alta energía, la música de Ballard con los Midnighters no pudo haber sido más diametralmente opuesta en términos materiales.
