James Booker - UNRELEASED ROBERT SACRE RECORDING 1976 (Booker’s best vocal performance?)

James Booker – Live in Liège (Unreleased Tapes, 9 Nov 1976) 📍 Liège, Belgium 🎙️ Recorded by Robert Sacré These unreleased tracks come from a solo concert James Booker gave in Liège, Belgium on November 9, 1976—captured live by the late Belgian musicologist Robert Sacré, one of Europe’s most important chroniclers of New Orleans music. Portions of this concert were officially released in 1984 on the LP Mr. Mystery (Sundown GS 709-09), with one side drawn from this very performance and the other from Booker’s appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. But these three tracks— "Drown In My Own Tears,” “Ain’t Nobody’s Business,” and a remarkable Beatles medley—were left off the original album and have never been shared publicly until now. Tracklist: 00:00 Drown In My Own Tears 08:02 Ain’t Nobody’s Business 13:14 Eleanor Rigby 15:47 Penny Lane 16:55 Something 17:50 Let It Be 18:31 My Love (Wings) 🧾 About Robert Sacré (1940–2024) Robert Sacré was a Belgian musicologist and professor at the University of Liège, internationally respected for his work on African-American music. He specialised in blues, gospel, jazz, and New Orleans piano traditions, and played a key role in documenting and sharing this music with European audiences. From the 1960s onward, Sacré conducted field research in both the United States and Africa. He contributed to leading publications such as Soul Bag, Blues Unlimited, Jazz Hot, Blues & Rhythm, and Living Blues. His scholarship was matched by tireless efforts to preserve voices and performances that might have otherwise been lost — through interviews, radio programs, liner notes, and recordings. He also organized academic conferences and published reference works on Delta blues, gospel, zydeco, Cajun, and Creole music. Remembered for his generosity and humility, Sacré helped shape the way an entire generation of listeners and scholars understood the depth and artistry of African-American musical traditions. 🎧 For historical and educational purposes only.
