TED HARVEY, DECEMBER 21, 1930 - OCTOBER 6, 2016
Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers' Drummer
|
|
Ted Harvey, drummer of the legendary Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers, died
of natural causes on Thursday, October 6, 2016, in his hometown of Chicago,
Illinois. Harvey was born December 21, 1930. He was 85 years old. In addition
to appearing on all of Taylor's albums and touring the world with him, Harvey
played drums with blues legends Jimmy Dawkins, Big Walter Horton, Barrelhouse
Chuck, J. B. Hutto, Jimmy Rogers, Snooky Pryor and many others. Rolling Stone
described The HouseRockers' sound as "live wire exuberance and hard-as-nails
force...natural for partying, drinking and talking loud."
Following is a remembrance from Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer, who
launched the label when he first recorded Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers
in 1971. "Ted Harvey, the terrific drummer who was one third of the happiest
blues band in Chicago-- Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers—died on October 6
at the age of 85. Besides being one of the best Chicago blues shuffle drummers
ever, Ted was a jovial, friendly man with a nice word and a smile for everyone.
He never looked for credit for himself; he just wanted to make the band sound
good. And he sure did…just listen to Give Me Back My Wig, with Ted picking up
the tempo as the song goes along, bringing an extra dose of energy to each
verse. He was never fancy, he just drove every song by putting every beat
perfectly in the pocket. That was the genius of Ted Harvey." Harvey is survived
by his children, Regina Harding, Cheryl Sims, Milton Harvey, Theodore Harvey,
Jr., Leanise Harvey, Anthony Harvey; 12 grandchildren; and 16
great-grandchildren.
Services for Harvey are on Friday, October 14 at Gatling's Chapel, 10133 S.
Halsted, Chicago, IL, with the wake from 12:30p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and the funeral
immediately following. ###
