A new millennium dawns, the world doesn’t collapse, Ace turns 25 and Ernie changes his name to ‘2K Doe’. Phew, we are still here. The state of the Ace nation was still steady as she goes though we did venture back into the market and bought a couple of prime properties.
John Dolphin aka Lovin’ John (The Toast of The Coast) was a popular character around the Los Angeles scene. In 1948 he opened his Dolphin’s Of Hollywood record store which doubled as the broadcast studio for radio DJs Hunter Hancock and Dick “Huggie Boy” Hugg where ‘Earth Angel’ was first aired. Sporting a great name and fabulous logo he started a label, Recorded In Hollywood, in 1951, but due to financial pressures sold out to Don Peirce in 1954. Undaunted and with great panache he immediately started the Cash and Money labels, but in 1958 he was shot dead while sitting at his desk. In 1964 his wife Ruth started up Money again, had success with Bettye Swann and made some great Northern soul records that Ady appreciated many years later.
Almost immediately we were again wandering the streets of South Central to see what we could pick up and struck gold, when Flip Records came our way. Max and Lilian Fiertag started the label in 1955, scoring with Donald Woods’ cheery ‘Death Of An Angel’ immediately and the year after with the wan ‘A Casual Look’ by the Six Teens. But unknown to them at the time they were to score their biggest success with the 1957 signing of Richard Berry. ‘Louie Louie’ is one of the most famous songs and has even had a book written about it. Not because of Richard’s version, which sank without a trace, but because of the notoriety it achieved when the Kingsmen shouted it into a mic in 1963 and had a massive and controversial hit. Richard did not make a dime from this version or any of the hundreds of subsequent covers as he had sold the rights to what he thought was a dead song in 1959 in order to get married to Dorothy. When Roger met Richard in the 1980s and asked if did not feel aggrieved, the ever philosophical Richard suggested he may not have survived the lifestyle that would have gone with all the money. But survive he did and he got the rights back when he was mature enough to handle the income. In 1993 he played in London and gave us all a lesson in Louieology. He died in 1997, but it was a real pleasure for all of us to meet such great guy and a real gent.
Having turned 20 with the party of the decade and still suffering from the hangover we decided to spread the load for the 25th. We backed a series of shows with Ace acts over the year at the Jazz Café, back in our old stomping ground of Camden. The last of the dance bands, Fatback, moved the moribund to do the ‘Bus Stop’ and the ‘Spanish Hustle’ and then it was arms in the air as everyone ‘Found Lovin’’.
A very good friend of Ace, William Bell, came over from the US and Sharleen Spiteri duetted with him on ‘Private Number’. Later in the year, he reprised the performance on Later With Jules Holland and also sang a fantastic arrangement of ‘Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday’ with Courtney Pine on soprano sax. Bert Jansch filled the place on a Tuesday as he had just been discovered by all the hip young guitar slingers. The most remarkable night was when Rosco Gordon played the deepest shufflin’ blues in a febrile atmosphere of high retro style from the young crowd fortunate enough to be there.
Licensing favours were pulled and a lot of thought went into “Silver Disc” the 25th anniversary release. It came at budget price with full Ace packaging. There were 26 tracks, one for every year from 1950-1975 and the mix of genres reflected the Ace catalogue. This was the most eclectic compilation we had done up to then. It was released 25 years and one day after we made our first record.
