SPOTLIGHT YOUR BUSINESS: Stephanie Slavin

Charles Connor
Legendary Drummer for Little Richard

At 18, Connor joined flamboyant Little Richard’s original road band, The Upsetters, his joy marred only by the deep racial intolerance the band had to endure.

As one of history’s few successful left-handed drummers, Connor created the “Choo Choo Train” style of drumming, which consists of eighth notes. It can be heard on such classic Little Richard recordings as: “Keep A-Knockin’ “, “She’s Got It”, and “Ooh! My Soul.” As a result, Connor’s drum sticks are on display at the Cleveland, Ohio-based Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall Of Fame Museum.

In addition to Little Richard, Connor has also worked with other Hall Of Fame inductees such as The Original Coasters, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Lloyd Price, and “The Godfather Of Soul” James Brown. In fact, it was Brown who said of Connor: “He was the first to put the funk into the rhythm.”

He’s the son of a chief chef Merchant Marine seaman and father from Santo-Domingo and a Louisiana-born mother, Connor reveals, “I was born in New Orleans, in the heart of the French Quarter, the very hub of Cajun, Blues and down-island rhythms. My mother told me that whenever music was played, I kicked really hard in her womb.” He grins and exclaims, “I was born to be a drummer!” He winks and continues, “Probably ‘cuz of that exotic Creole and Dominican blood coursing through my veins,” then laughs mischievously.

As a toddler, Connor was drawn to marching parades and the “second-line funeral bands” playing Dixieland jazz through the streets of New Orleans and loved to hear his father, home on a three-month leave, sing Calypso songs around the house. Imitating the drums, Connor banged on pots and pans all-day and cried hard when his mother had to take them away to cook family meals.

Although his parents had two other sons and a daughter and could not afford expensive gifts, they saved enough money to buy Connor his first drum set when he was five. When his drumming became “a loud nuisance” to the neighbors, he practiced with his drumsticks four to five hours a day on a practice pad.

Multi-talented Connor is now an Active Musician, Songwriter, Entrepreneur, does Voice-overs, gives Private Drum lessons and makes Personal Appearances. He’s also a Motivational Public Speaker with several issues particularly close to his heart, like sharing his experience and anecdotes on the African and down-island origins of Black popular music to stimulate public awareness and appreciation of Rock ‘n’ Roll and Rhythm and Blues. Charles says….. “I’ll Never Give Up My Dreams or My Drumsticks.”

Topic: Don’t Give Up Your Dreams: You can be a Winner, Too!

Tune in and discover:

• How to start taking control of your life
• Why character does matter and why you should never compromise
• Keys to staying focused on your goals/dreams
• The importance in becoming your own leader
• all that and a whole lot more.
