Arthur Prysock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Prysock (2 January 19297 June 1997) was an American jazz singer best known for his live shows and his baritone influenced by Billy Eckstine.

Born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Prysock moved to Hartford, Connecticut to work in the aircraft industry during World War II. In 1944 bandleader Buddy Johnson signed him as a vocalist, and Prysock became a mainstay of the live performance circuits. Prysock sang on several of Johnsons hits on Decca Records ("Jet My Love", 1947 and "I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone", 1948) and later on Mercury Records ("Because", 1950).

In 1952 Prysock went solo and signed with Decca to record the R&B hit, "I Didnt Sleep a Wink Last Night". He recorded R&B classics like Roy Browns "Good Rocking Tonight". In the sixties, Prysock joined Old Town Records and did an R&B cover of Ray Nobles ballad "The Very Thought of You" (1960) and a pop hit "Its Too Late Baby, Its Too Late" (1965)and recorded on "Verve" records "Arthur Prysock & Count Basie" (12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 December1965 year at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey)He also recorded on Verve Records ("A Working Mans Prayer", 1968).

In the seventies, he had a surprise disco hit with "When Love Is New" (Old Town, 1977) and in 1985, recorded his first new album in almost a decade, Arthur Prysock (Milestone). He gained further attention for his tender, soulful singing on a beer commercial, "Tonight, tonight, let it be Löwenbräu."

His brother, Red Prysock, was a noted tenor sax player who appeared on many of Arthur's records.

Prysock received a Pioneer Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in 1995.
