René Bloch was one one of the most celebrated Latin bandleaders in the early 60s in the Los Angeles scene and with an excellent background for this type of music. An alumnus of the Perez Prado band, he toured the world playing Latin music while deciding how he wanted his own band to sound. Yet this group has a fresh, exciting sound all its own.

These are authentic mambo rhythms, performed by René Bloch’s exciting band, a group of swinging musicians who knew and understand the music, and succeed in capturing the true feeling and spirit of the dance. This album provides an excellent sample of the result. Here are the exciting sounds of René Bloch. Let’s dance the mambo!

Rafaél Leon René born March 30, 1927 in Los Angeles (California) is one of those unjustly neglected musical figures of the Rock & Roll & R&B years, although he was the backbone of the Class records label. Rafaél "Googie" René remains a figure of the underground among amateurs and collectors, until the release of the CD Wham Bam at Ace records in 2004. Son of Leon René (1902 - 1982) composer and owner of the Exclusive and Excelsior labels records founded in 1940 with his brother Otis who was responsible for excelsior publicity and also composer. Rafaél Leon René and nicknamed Googie because it is the first word he said as a child. Before graduating from Dorsey High School in the Baldwin Hills suburb of Los Angeles, Googie was already showing his desire to follow in his father's footsteps. He studied the piano, composed songs, and gained some first-hand studio experience, when his father invited him to the recording sessions. But before Googie could be more involved, he had to serve in Europe for the US military. On his return in 1950, he found his father's Excelsior records label bankrupt, but enterprising Leon René created a new label, Class records, of which Googie had become the main responsible. He made his first single end of 51 'Class records series 500 (4 issues for this series) because after the bankruptcy of Excelsior, Leon and Googie, chose to start quietly and made an arrangement with the Bihari brothers, to release the Class productions. on their Modern and RPM records labels until September 1956. Class records really took off with the new 200 series, including the 2nd recording (Class 201) and "Sad Fool" by The Rollettes (AKA The Dreamers) whose members are: Gloria Jones , Annette Williams and Fanita Barrett, coupled with Wham Bam, a Rock instrumental, which will be the start of a long series, played by the Combo which is composed mostly of the cream of the West Coast session musicians, including saxophonists Plas Johnson and Clifford Scott, Earl Palmer on drums and guitarists Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Jimmy Nolen and Rene Hall. The instrumentals range from the musical trend of the 50's, Rock, Boogie Woogie, Jump, Latin, up to the 60's Soul / Groove. On some tracks, Googie is on the piano, and sometimes on the organ, but most of the time leaving the keyboards to the other members of the Combo. Googie was in charge of the creativity of the Class label, which allowed him to develop his own compositions, arrangements (keyboard) and production techniques, as demonstrated by the quality of the recordings present on the Wham Bam cd, ranging from Jump Wham 50s West Coast bam, 60s Groovy Ramsey Lewis style. Googie always has the latest Hits in mind when he enters the studio.
GOOGIE RENE - FLAPJACKS CS-LP-200 - 1963

His influences and inspirations are very varied. From a Rock & Roll perspective, the most interesting recordings are from 1956, 1959, particularly "Wiggle Tail Pt. 1 & 2, Class 221," Big Time / Midnigth "Class 205," Break It Up / Side track " Class 208 and "Rock A Boogie / Beautiful Weekend" Class 212. In the 60s Googie turned towards more Jazz / Soul, Groove and sometimes Funky music. Meanwhile, Leon René created a new label in 1959, Rendez- You records, based in Los Angeles, with Rod Pierce and Gordon Wolf, to publish Pop music. His greatest success being "Bumble Boogie / Nut Rocker" recorded with the house group named B Bumble & The Stringers, whose members are composed of: Ernie Field (piano / organ) Rene Hall (guitar) Plas Johnson (sax) Rene Calander (bass) and Earl Palmer (drums) rendez-vous records closed in 1963. The 60's brought us some superb instrumentals Soul / Groove dedicated to dance: "Smokey Joe's La, La" "Chica Boo", "Merci Merci" "Bossa Baby", "The sl ide Pt. 1 & 2 ”among others, and even an instrument (Monster type)“ The Chiller ”. In 1962, Googie also recorded some titles on the label Kapp records, of Davis Kapp, brother of Jack, owner of Brunswick and Decca records. During the 60's, in exactly 66 minutes, Googie set up a new label - New Bag records, he recorded there in 1967 the superb dance "Keep The Soul Baby" a la Ramsey Lewis! He also produced 2 singles for The Count Yates, composed of a member of the 50s band 'The Premiers, accompanied by The Rhythm Crusaders. Leon & Googie are often credited with the compositions, but many titles are signed by a certain Jeanne Vikki, but who is this mysterious Jeanne Vikki? just a signature for these titles? no "physical" trace of this Jeanne, probably a nickname !! Googie sues in the 70's for some.

GOOGIE RENE - FLAPJACKS CS-LP-200 - 1963

Rafaél Leon René né le 30 mars 1927 à Los Angeles (Californie) est l'une de ces figures musicales injustement négligées des années Rock & Roll & R&B, bien qu'il ait été l'épine dorsale du label Class records. Rafaél "Googie" René demeure une figure de l'underground parmi les amateurs et collectionneurs, jusqu'à la sortie du cd Wham Bam chez Ace records en 2004. Fils de Leon René (1902 - 1982) compositeur et propriétaire des labels Exclusive et Excelsior records fondés en 1940 avec son frère Otis qui était responsable de la publicité d'excelsior et aussi compositeur. Rafaél Leon René et surnommé Googie parce que c'est le premier mot qu'il a prononcé enfant. Avant d'obtenir un diplôme du lycée de Dorsey, dans la banlieue des collines de Baldwin, de Los Angeles, Googie montrait déjà son envie de suivre la trace de son père. Il a étudié le piano, a composé des chansons et a acquis une certaine expérience de première main de studio, quand son père l'a invité aux séances d'enregistrements. Mais avant que Googie ait pu être plus impliqué, il a dû servir en Europe pour l'armée américaine. A son retour en 1950, il trouve le label Excelsior records de son père en faillite, mais entreprenant, Leon René crée un nouveau label, Class records, dont Googie est devenu le principal responsable. Il réalise son 1er single fin 51' Class records série 500 (4 issues pour cette série) car après la faillite d'Excelsior, Leon et Googie, ont choisi de démarré tranquillement et font un arrangement avec les frères Bihari, pour sortir les productions Class sur leurs labels Modern et RPM records jusque septembre 1956. Class records a vraiment décollé avec la nouvelle série 200, dont le 2eme enregistrement (Class 201) et "Sad Fool" par The Rollettes (A.K.A The Dreamers) dont les membres sont : Gloria Jones, Annette Williams et Fanita Barrett, couplé à Wham Bam, un instrumental Rock, qui sera le début d'une longue série, joué par le Combo qui est composé la plupart du temps de la crème des musiciens de sessions de la côte Ouest, incluant les Saxophonistes Plas Johnson et Clifford Scott, Earl Palmer a la Batterie et les guitaristes Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Jimmy Nolen et Rene Hall. Les instrumentaux vont du courant musical des années 50', Rock, Boogie Woogie, Jump, Latin, jusqu'aux années 60' Soul/Groove. Sur quelques titres, Googie est au piano, et quelque fois à l'orgue, mais laissant la plupart du temps les claviers aux autres membres du Combo. Googie était en charge de la créativité du label Class, ce qui lui a permis de développer ses propres compositions, arrangements (clavier) et techniques de productions, comme le démontre le la qualité des enregistrements présent sur le cd Wham Bam, allant du Jump Wham bam de la côte Ouest des années 50', au style Groovy Ramsey Lewis des années 60'. Googie a toujours à l'esprit les derniers Hits du moment quand il entre en studio.

Du point de vu Rock & Roll, les enregistrements les plus intéressants sont ceux de la période 1956, 1959, particulièrement "Wiggle Tail Pt. 1&2, Class 221, "Big Time/Midnigth" Class 205, "Break It Up/Side track " Class 208 et "Rock A Boogie/Beautiful Weekend" Class 212. Dans les années 60' Googie s'oriente vers une musique plus Jazz/Soul, Groove et parfois Funky. Entre temps, Leon René crée un nouveau label en 1959, Rendez-Vous records, basé à Los Angeles, avec Rod Pierce et Gordon Wolf, pour publier de la musique Pop. Son plus grand succès étant "Bumble Boogie/Nut Rocker" enregistré avec le groupe maison nommé B Bumble & The Stringers, dont les membres sont composés de : Ernie Field (piano/orgue) Rene Hall (guitare) Plas Johnson (sax) Rene Calander (bass) et Earl Palmer (drums) rendez-Vous records ferme ses portes en 1963. Les années 60' nous apportent quelques superbes instrumentaux Soul/Groove dédiés à la dance : "Smokey Joe's La, La" "Chica Boo", "Merci Merci" "Bossa Baby", "The slide Pt. 1&2 » entre autres, et même un instru (Monster type) "The Chiller". En 1962, Googie enregistre aussi quelques titres sur le label Kapp records, de Davis Kapp, frère de Jack, propriétaire de Brunswick et Decca records. Durant les années 60', en 66' exactement, Googie monte un nouveau label - New Bag records, il y enregistre en 1967 le superbe dansant "Keep The Soul Baby" a la Ramsey Lewis !  Il produit également 2 singles pour The Count Yates, composé d'un membre du groupe des années 50' The Premiers, accompagnés par The Rhythm Crusaders. Leon & Googie sont souvent crédités aux compositions, mais beaucoup de titres sont signés d'une certaine Jeanne Vikki, mais qui est cette mystérieuse Jeanne Vikki ? juste une signature pour ces titres ? pas de trace "physique" de cette Jeanne, probablement un pseudo !! Googie poursuit dans les années 70' pour quelques singles Funk avec une nouvelle série du label : Class Of 74 records, personnellement, je n'ai connaissance que de 3 singles : Class Of 74 - 7403 Googie's Junk Band "Funky Bug Pt. 1&2 édité en 1974 - Class Of 74 - 7405 Googie (with vocal groupe McCrary's) "Got A Hold Of A Rainbow" mono/stéréo en 1975 - Class of 74 - 7406 Googie & The Junk Band, même morceau que le Class Of 74 (7403 Funky Bug) mais titres différents "The Bug Down/The Bug Down Theme" en version plus longue, au vu de la numérotation, il manquerait les n° 7400, 7401, 7402, 7404, et peut-être d'autres ? Après cette série, je n'ai personnellement plus de trace discographique, si ce n'est le cd "Wham Bam" de Ace records de 2004. Googie René enregistre trois albums de 1957 à 1963 et quantité de singles jusqu’au milieu des années 1970 sous le nom de Googie René ou tous simplement Googie. La saga René ne s'arrête pas à sa mort le 25 novembre 2007, puisque ses quatre enfants sont dans le domaine musical : sa fille Gina est chanteuse, et ses trois fils sont également dans la musique : Christopher René est chanteur, auteur-compositeur, musicien et producteur, Gabriel René et producteur et Mike René est musicien (batteur). Il nous lègue quantité d’instrumentaux (et vocaux) Rock, R&B Latin, Jazz Soul et Funk qui, mine de rien sont joués par les meilleurs musiciens de l'époque. Je présente aujourd'hui son troisième album "Flapjacks" édité sur Class [CS-200]en 1963.
