Robert Bailey is pursuing a successful career in
gospel music.
Bob Bailey finds success in
gospel broadcasting
Robert (Bob) Bailey, Jr., son of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bailey, Sr.,
Portland, was featured recently on
the National P.T.L. cable TV net
w ork, home-based in C harlotte,
North Carolina. Robert is a regular
on that network’ s show “ P.T.L.
C lu b ” a religious variety show,
airing five days per week and
reaching a viewing audience of ap
proximately 23 million around the
world.
During the l960’s and l970’s, Bob
along w ith his older sister Ora,
younger brother Jodell, accom-
panied by his mother Joan, com
prised the “ Bailey Family Singers.”
The group provided inspirational
gospel music in churches in the Port
land metropolitan areas as well as
making several cross-country tours.
“ Playing music to please the people,” says drummer Idris Muhammad, is a
concept that has guided him throughout his prolific 21-year career.
He doesn’ t mind the term “ crossover.” The New Orleans-born musician, as
a member o f Lou Donaldson's group in the mid-Sixties, was on the ground
floor o f that movement which fuses jazz with pop before anyone had even
thought o f a label for it. As one of the most in-demand studio drummers in
New York. Muhammad played on sessions with such major Seventies’ cross
over figures as Donald Byrd, Grover Washington, Freddie Hubbard, and
Charles Earland, and last year emerged as a top-selling crossover artist in his
own right with two albums for C TI’ s Kudu label (“ Turn This Mutha Out” and
“ Boogie to the Top” ) that placed high on the pop, soul, disco, and jazz charts.
Muhammad has just joined the Fantasy label and his debut disc, “ You A in’t
No Friend o f Mine!” , is certain to accelerate his winning streak and earn him
many new music-loving friends.
“ This is the first project where I ’ve had full control,” the drummer explains.
“ Fantasy gave me this opportunity because they had enough confidence in
me. »»
The son o f traditional jazz banjo player Nathaniel Morris, Muhammad was
the youngest of four drum-playing brothers. “ The Dixieland musicians all lived
in the neighborhood,” he remembers, “ so they all used to get together on Sun
days and parade through the streets. They had a feeling different from any
other musicians in any other place. In New Orleans you have to play all types of
music. If you were playing a gig you might have to play some sambas or some
cha-chas. You might have to play the blues or the fox trot or rock or Dixieland.
You had to be a musician who was changeable. You couldn’t stay in just one
type o f music because New Orleans wasn’ t a one-type of music town.”
Maintaining a busy recording schedule, Muhammad has also found time to
spend four years with the original band for “ Hair” and four more with singer
Roberta Flack. He also has cut two solo albums, “ Black Rhythm Revolution”
and “ Peace and Rhythm,” for Prestige in 1971.
It was while with Flack that he decided to more actively pursue his own
career. “ I had an experience in Japan when I went there with Roberta,” he
says. “ 1 had no idea how popular I was in Japan from the records that I had
made. They showed me a good time and did nice things for me and just kinda
convinced me that I should do something for myself.”
Idris Muhammad has indeed done something for himself — two hit albums
for Kudu and now a new one, hot on their heels, on which he has been permit
ted for the first time to fully express his unique rhythmic talents.
