Talk:Champion Jack Dupree

Untitled
I have made a small correction to the Champion Jack Dupree article as it currently stands (May 20th 2007). It originally stated that a bronze statue had been erected to his memory in Halifax, West Yorkshire. This is an overstatement. It is a small bronze plaque. There is actually no 'municipal' acknowledgement of the time that CJD spent in Halifax (he raised a family here). In brief, Barrie Rutter - the artistic director of a theatre group based in Dean Clough, Halifax - organised a tribute evening to CJD a few years after his death. The proceeds from that evening (which was attended by members of his family) were used to fund the making of the bronze plaque by artist Ian Judd, which is presently in the foyer of Dean Clough. Dean Clough - I suppose I should add - is an arts and business park that was formerly the world's largest carpet mill. The website www.deanclough.com has more information213.123.130.240 11:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Discography
The discography appears to be woefully inadequate. Here's one that lists 53 albums. http://www.soundunwound.com/music/champion-jack-dupree/1664?ref=AMDP_DL —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johncolton (talk • contribs) 17:30, 2 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Perhaps it's time for a separate article for his complete discography? Martinevans123 (talk) 22:20, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Lenox Records
No article yet. Must admit I had never heard of it. Here's a discography. It seems to have four entries for Dupree. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:49, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Lenox was a race record subsidiary of Remington Records. It is of no relation to a more common Lenox Records from the 1960s on which Esther Phillips got her start.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 22:37, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. I have not been fretting over the past 6 years. But nice to know. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Birthplace
Should New Orleans be added, perhaps with a note, to the info box? Presumably no reliable source exists? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk)

 * Works, but not a good source. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:48, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

I am thinking of ccutting this out
if it does not get a reference.
 * "whose playing on that record inspired Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones."

Marriage to Shirley Ann Harrison
Dupree was the subject of a Yorkshire Television documentary covering his life with Harrison and her daughter. Exact date unknown. He taught the daughter his music and his piano style. Don't remember the daughter's name, or if she did anything more than play at home. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djdaedalus (talk • contribs) 19:57, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes he was. I have seen it, but not sure where. YT is awash with Dupree clips, but I can't put my finger on it. Here's a short library clip of him in the 1970s, at home in Ovenden: He had two daughters with Shirley. There are some audio interview clips here. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:11, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Son Cornell Dupree?
In the 1980s, I asked him whether Cornell Dupree was his son, and he confirmed. He knew some details about Cornell's career and whereabouts. He sounded honest, but maybe made fun of me? WaldiR (talk) 22:10, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Musical style
It's been necessary to take out this sentence; "He would occasionally indulge in a vocalese style of sung word play (similar to Slim Gaillard's "Vout"), as in his "Mr. Dupree Blues", included on the album The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions, as it was unsourced, and possibly OR. If any editors have a source, it would be good to put it back in. KJP1 (talk) 10:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That track not yet available on YouTube, alas. In fact that album is not yet included in the article. AllMusic entry here. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
