Carla Whitney - Choker Campbell & the Super Sounds (Attic, 1975).One of the best soul albums.
Here is a sought after Canadian soul LP by the
obscure Carla Whitney. Backing is by Choker Campbell & his Super
Sounds. Choker is a Motown legend and also produced the LP. Our fave
track is "I've been hurt (so many times)" but the whole LP is great 70s
soul.
Walter
Luzar "Choker" Campbell (March 21, 1916 – July 20, 1993) was an
American musician.
Born as an only child in Shelby, Mississippi, his family moved to
Saginaw, Michigan, when he was only five years old. Campbell studied
saxophone under several musicians and left school at the age of
nineteen. In the early 1960s he got a job at Hitsville USA (which later
became Motown Records) playing with the resident band, then later as a
supporting artist for several well-known Motown artists, such as The
Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder and
others. Campbell toured the U.S. with stops at the Apollo Theater in
New York City and many other venues.
After leaving Motown Records, Campbell traveled to Canada with his own
band and played several Canadian venues. He settled in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada, where he started his own record label, Campbell Artist
Productions, and did several recordings with Attic Records (of Toronto),
and studio work with his friend, Paul Zaza.
After several years, Choker returned to Detroit, Michigan, where he
remained until his death in July 1993, aged 77.
Choker has left behind a son and two daughters in Canada, two in London,
one in Halifax.
He also appeared in the film Shake, Rattle & Rock!, with Big Joe
Turner and Mike Connors. He made a cameo in the TV series, Mannix, with
Mike Connors in the 1960s.
