I have not heard or seen this anywhere other than the box this came in, I ordered on ebay once a few years ago.. a random mixed lot box of singles, from somewhere in California. This is one of the gems out of that box. Runaway Girl is the original song on the 45, written by DUKE - R. Dukett. haunting, a very mellow riff, with psych phasing and some early re-appropriated use of a electronic organ drum machine, around the same time Sly Stone and Shuggie Otis where using them for the same effect. As is, seems very rare, can anyone fill in the details about Duke? Is this the same JOY records that became the Hip Hop/ Rap label? it's basically the same typeface/logo.
enjoy the a/v clip :

I'm Duke's daughter Michelle and I wanted to say thank you for posting this as I don't even have a record player to play all his records. I'm listening to it now and I still can picture me watching him perform this live (Malagueña) and it gave me chills to hear him do it. He ended up breaking a guitar string the song is so intense. Anyway I'm very appreciative for the fans that he has with Runaway Girl and was amazed by all this when I searched for his name on Google. He would have been so proud today to know he had a following. He passed away in 2000 due to alcoholism.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your informative and interesting reply.
DeleteI was wondering if you have any photos of your Father performing that I could use in this blog? That would be sweet icing on the cake.
Sorry to hear how he passed on. Same way my own Father passed away who was also a talented musician.
Sorry I just got this reply. Yes I could snap some pictures with my tablet of old scrap book photos of him performing. Maybe next week I can do this after I get back from vacation. How do you attach a photo in here?
ReplyDeleteHello Duke's daughter ! No worries about late or anything I have no expectations it's a pleasure to hear from you. You can surely send photos to my direct email and I would edit/post them . I wonder if you have more recordings I could share or a lineage of bands or other records/tapes/cds he release and people he worked with. That would be extremely valuable to share. Here's my email..same name as this blog - freqazoidiac@gmail.com Possibly shoot me a quick email and we can talk through that more personally. Thanks again.
