Robert Ward with Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Steve Douglas and Tony Johnson.(Sweetwater Village Music 23rd Anniv. Party 1991-08-05 )

Robert Ward (October 15, 1938 – December 25, 2008) was an American blues and soul guitarist. He was known for founding the Ohio Untouchables, the band that later would become the Ohio Players. He played the guitar with a unique tone soaked in vibrato coming from the Magnatone amplifier.

                                           (You Make My) Blood Run Cold

Born Robert Jeryl Ward in Luthersville, Georgia, he moved to Dayton, Ohio in 1960 and formed the Ohio Untouchables. The group released series of singles from LuPine label^[including "Your Love Is Amazing" which would become one of Ward's signature songs. Ward left the group in 1965.^[2]
Then he moved to the Detroit area, actually residing in Toledo, Ohio and released some single under his name in the late 60's. He disappeared from the music scene sometime in the 70's after working as a session player for Motown.

                                           Forgive Me Darling

It was in the early 1990s that he came back into the spotlight. He was "rediscovered" by Black Top Records and released his first full-length album Fear No Evil in 1991. He released two more albums in the next four years for the label. In the mid-1990s he did limited touring, including a date in Minneapolis with Curtis Obeda and "The Butanes", and several dates in Michigan including Kalamazoo, Three Rivers and Grand Rapids. After the label folded in the late 1990s, WRKR Kalamazoo blues DJ Marty Spaulding, who Robert had appointed his manager, arranged a recording contract with Delmark Records to release New Role Soul in 2000. In his last years he faced a series of health problems, including two strokes, which prevented him from performing or recording.

 He died at his home in Dry Branch, Georgia, about six miles from Macon, on December 25, 2008

Them (feat.the Blizzards) in Holland, March 1967 (audio)

            Herman Brood - Van Morrison - Eelco Gelling - Hans Waterman -Willy Middel

 

Van Morrison & The Blizzards
One more Time - If you and i could be as Two - Gloria - Hey Girl - My lonely sad Eyes - Mystic Eyes.

  In March 1967 Morrison did a short tour of the Netherlands backed by Cuby & the Blizzards and then left for New York to start his solo career.

  Van Morrison has placed the break-up of Them in context: "There was no motive behind anything you did [back then]. You just did it because you wanted to do it and you enjoyed doing it. That's the way the thing started, but it got twisted somewhere along the way and everybody involved in it got twisted as well, including me."(1967) "You can't take something like that, put it in a box and place a neat little name on it, then try to sell it. That's what they tried to do. That's what killed Them."

Them (with Van Morrison)The Story.....(new /update 12 Sept - 2015)

Them ontstond in 1961/1962, toen gitarist en zanger Billy Harrison in Belfast samen ging spelen met een aantal andere muzikanten, onder wie bassist Raymond Sweetman en drummer Ronnie Millings. Een vaste bezetting ontstond na het toetreden van bassist Alan Henderson en toetsenist Eric Wrixon. De groep noemde zich The Gamblers en kreeg werk in en om de Noord-Ierse hoofdstad. The Gamblers speelden Amerikaanse rock 'n roll en rhythm and blues. Met het toetreden van zanger en saxofonist Van Morrison nam de populariteit in eigen stad zover toe, dat de vijf de sprong naar Engeland waagden.

  Daar werd de naam veranderd in Them, omdat er al een groep The Gamblers bestond, als begeleiders van zanger Billy Fury. Them kwam onder contract bij Decca. Wrixon had intussen de band verlaten, omdat zijn ouders hun nog minderjarige zoon geen toestemming gaven voor het aangaan van een platencontract. Hij werd vervangen door Pat McAuley (ook wel John genoemd). Nadat ook Millings opstapte, verwisselde McAuley het orgel voor de drums, terwijl zijn broer Jackie McAuley achter de toetsen plaatsnam.(Wikipedia)

 

The Story Of Them

 

Don,t Start Crying Now/One Two Brown Eyes

  Hun eerste single werd uitgebracht in augustus 1964, met op de A-kant Don't start crying now en aan de achterkant One two brown eyes. Het succes bleef uit. Onduidelijk is of op die eerste plaat ook inderdaad alle Themleden te beluisteren zijn. Van Morrison en Henderson lijkt dat zeker, maar in de opnamepraktijk werd veelal met studiomuzikanten gewerkt. Daarin was Them niet uniek. Bekend is het verhaal dat Ringo Starr tijdens de opnamen van de eerste Beatles-singel Love me do plaats moest maken voor een sessiedrummer. Zo zijn tijdens die eerste Them-opnamen waarschijnlijk gitarist Jimmy Page, organisten Arthur Greenslade en Peter Bardens en drummer Bobby Graham ingezet.(Wikipedia)
