Biography
Geater Davis was among the South’s great shed soul performers, an impassioned stylist whose tone of voice was a combined mix of sweetness and sandpaper grit. Much like the blues-drenched loves of Johnnie Taylor or, specifically, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Davis finished up even more of the cult designer than deep spirit peers like Wayne Carr or O.V. Wright, having documented mostly for little local brands during his leading. Davis was created in Kountze, TX, in 1946 and do almost all his recording through the initial fifty percent of the ’70s, frequently composing or co-writing his very own material and sometimes making or playing electric guitar aswell. He cut an record, Sweet Woman’s Like, for the home of Orange label in 1971, and his cover of Jerry Butler & the Impressions’ “WOMAN Precious Like” afterwards became a popular among British spirit collectors. He continued release a singles for Luna (“I Don’t Get worried (About Jody)”) and Ace (“Unusual Circumstance,” “Sick and tired of Busting My Human brain”) before an extended spell with 77, where his result included “Longer Cold Wintertime,” “I’m Gonna Transformation” (documented at Muscles Shoals), “I’ve Surely got to Pay the purchase price,” and “Your Center Is So Cool,” amongst others. However, Davis’ records hardly ever sold perfectly, even regardless of large touring in the blues and chitlin circuits. He passed away of a coronary attack on Sept 29, 1984; he was just 38 yrs . old. In 1998, Western world Aspect released Sadder Tones of Blue: The Southern Spirit Periods 1971-76, a compilation covering a lot of the brands that he documented (except Home of Orange).
