Details
[Edit]Billy Williams had a gorgeous tenor voice and an affinity for pop songs that gave him a list of pop hits but only one entry on the R&B charts. His style, with vocal group accompaniment from the Billy Williams Quartet, was closer to the Mills Brothers than to his R&B contemporaries. His technique is heard to particularly fine effect on "You're the One for Me," a secular rewrite of the spiritual "Children Go Where I Send Thee." That song and 11 others appear on the album Oh Yeah, which contains no hits but is a bonanza of traditional pop excellence. Williams' big-band accompaniment and vocal-group sound are a throwback to the pre-rock era, as are many of the songs. The most surprising and fascinating selection is Williams' rendition of the cowboy classic "Cattle Call," which features a very rare instance of black yodeling. Williams' music is an example of traditional pop music continuing to find an audience among young listeners in the rock era, but he might have been much more successful had he been born ten years earlier.
