Willie Mitchell • Live



Willie L. Mitchell (March 1, 1928 – January 5, 2010) was an American trumpeter, bandleader, soul, R&B, rock and roll, pop and funk record producer and arranger who ran Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. He was best known for his Hi Records label of the 1970s, which released albums by a large stable of popular Memphis soul artists, including Mitchell himself, Al Green, O. V. Wright, Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles and Quiet Elegance.
Born and raised in Ashland, Mississippi, Mitchell moved to Memphis when he was in high school. He attended Rust College.[1] At the age of eight, he began to play the trumpet. While in high school, he was a featured player in popular local big bands. He later formed his own combo, which from time to time included musicians such as trumpeter Booker Little, saxophonists Charles Lloyd, and George Coleman, and pianist Phineas Newborn, Jr.
Mitchell landed a job with the Home of the Blues record label as a producer, then left to join Hi Records as both a recording artist and a producer.
Known at the recording studio as "Papa Willie", Mitchell earned his nickname by taking over the reins of Hi Records in 1970 and guiding it through its most successful period. Mitchell's productions have been much noted for featuring a hard-hitting bass drum sound (usually played by pioneering Memphis drummer Al Jackson, Jr. of Booker T. & the M.G.'s).[citation needed]
A trumpeter and bandleader in his own right, Mitchell released a number of popular singles for Hi Records as an artist in the 1960s, including "Soul Serenade." It peaked at #43 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1968.
Through the 1980s Mitchell ran his own independent record label, Waylo Records. Acts on the label included Billy Always and Lynn White.
In 1987 Joyce Cobb recorded several singles for Waylo, one of which made it to No. 3 on the British R&B charts: "Another Lonely Night (Without You)".
He and Al Green revived their successful recording partnership in 2003 when Green recorded I Can't Stop, his first collaboration with Mitchell since 1985's He is the Light. Their 2005 follow-up project was Everything's OK.
Mitchell died in Memphis on January 5, 2010, from a cardiac arrest.
His final work was producing the final Solomon Burke studio album, Nothing's Impossibile, released in June 2010.

Willie L. Mitchell (1 de marzo de 1928 - 5 de enero de 2010) fue un trompetista, director de banda, productor y arreglista de discos de soul, R&B, rock and roll, pop y funk estadounidense que dirigió los estudios Royal en Memphis, Tennessee. Fue más conocido por su sello Hi Records de la década de 1970, que editó álbumes de una gran cuadrilla de populares artistas de soul de Memphis, como el propio Mitchell, Al Green, O. V. Wright, Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles y Quiet Elegance.
Nacido y criado en Ashland, Mississippi, Mitchell se trasladó a Memphis cuando estaba en el instituto. Asistió al Rust College[1] y a los ocho años comenzó a tocar la trompeta. Mientras estaba en el instituto, fue uno de los protagonistas de las grandes bandas locales más populares. Más tarde formó su propio combo, que de vez en cuando incluía a músicos como el trompetista Booker Little, los saxofonistas Charles Lloyd y George Coleman, y el pianista Phineas Newborn, Jr.
Mitchell consiguió un trabajo en el sello discográfico Home of the Blues como productor, y luego lo dejó para unirse a Hi Records como artista y productor.
Conocido en el estudio de grabación como "Papa Willie", Mitchell se ganó su apodo al tomar las riendas de Hi Records en 1970 y guiarla durante su periodo más exitoso. Las producciones de Mitchell se han caracterizado por incluir un sonido de bombo contundente (normalmente tocado por el pionero baterista de Memphis Al Jackson, Jr. de Booker T. & the M.G.'s)[cita requerida].
Trompetista y director de banda por derecho propio, Mitchell lanzó varios singles populares para Hi Records como artista en la década de 1960, incluyendo "Soul Serenade". Alcanzó el número 43 en la lista de singles del Reino Unido en abril de 1968.
En la década de 1980, Mitchell dirigió su propio sello discográfico independiente, Waylo Records. Entre los artistas del sello se encuentran Billy Always y Lynn White.
En 1987 Joyce Cobb grabó varios singles para Waylo, uno de los cuales llegó al número 3 de las listas de R&B británicas: "Another Lonely Night (Without You)".
Él y Al Green revivieron su exitosa asociación discográfica en 2003, cuando Green grabó I Can't Stop, su primera colaboración con Mitchell desde He is the Light, de 1985. Su proyecto de seguimiento en 2005 fue Everything's OK.
Mitchell falleció en Memphis el 5 de enero de 2010 a causa de un paro cardíaco.
Su último trabajo fue la producción del último álbum de estudio de Solomon Burke, Nothing's Impossibile, publicado en junio de 2010.
