Ben Hewitt Bear Family Anniversary<\/p><\/div>\n

Ben Hewitt<\/h1>\n

geboren am\u00a011. September 1935, gestorbem am 8. Dezember 1996
\nMan wird ihn in keiner Hit-Liste entdecken und man wird ihn nicht einmal als Fussnote in der Geschichte des Rock ’n‘ Roll\u00a0 finden, doch seine Musik sagt weitaus mehr \u00fcber das aus, was Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll ausmacht als alles, was man heute auf MTV sieht oder in der modernen, synthetischen Musikwelt h\u00f6rt.<\/p>\n

The Spirit Of Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll<\/h2>\n

Irgendwann im Jahre 1983 plante Bear Family eine LP Ver\u00f6ffentlichung mit Ben Hewitt und Eddie Bell zusammen auf einem Album. So gut wie nichts war damals \u00fcber die beiden K\u00fcnstler bekannt. Man wusste lediglich, dass beide in den sp\u00e4ten 1950er Jahren Aufnahmen f\u00fcr Mercury Records gemacht hatten und dass deren Singles gesuchte Rarit\u00e4ten sind.Ger\u00fcchte, dass Ben Hewitt in Canada leben sollte, hatten sich nach vielen Telefonaten mit Schallplattenfirmen, Gesellschaften f\u00fcr musikalische Rechte und zu guter letzt mit nahezu allen Hewitts im Raum Niagara Falls, Ontario, best\u00e4tigt.

\nBen Hewitt born 11. September 1935, died 8. December 1996
\nYou won\u2019t find him in any chart books and he won\u2019t even make the footnotes of most histories of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, but for all that his music said far more about the spirit of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll than anything you\u2019ll see on MTV or hear in today\u2019s strictly formatted corporate music environment.
\nThe Spirit Of Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll
\nSometime in 1983, Bear Family was planning an LP to be split between Ben Hewitt and Eddie Bell. Ben was rumored to be living in Canada, and–the last anyone had heard–he was living in St. Catharines, Ontario, near Niagara Falls. I called all the Hewitts in the Niagara Falls phone book and found Ben easily enough. Ben Hewitt in Canada One afternoon I drove down, picking up Hank Davis on the way. It was probably the easiest interview either of us has ever done because it essentially consisted of turning on the tape recorder and saying, \u201cHi, Ben.\u201c
\nWe got the feeling that Ben Hewitt\u00a0had told his stories about being a Mercury recording artist to anyone who would listen, but no one much was listening. Maybe that sort of thing doesn\u2019t carry much cachet with the Tuscarora Indian community around the Falls. Suddenly, he had two people in his living room who were ready to be impressed. The interview was one of the best shows Ben had ever given.
