Hey there Floyd. When are you going to give us another “Mr. Sexy Man,”? Can’t wait. I’ll spread this around.

October 1, 2017: Re-Posted from Daddy B. Nice's New CD Reviews

September 25, 2017:

NELLIE "TIGER" TRAVIS: Mr. Sexy Man: The Album (Wegonsee Records) Five Stars ***** Can't Miss. Pure Southern Soul Heaven.

The only unfortunate aspect of Nellie "Tiger" Travis' new, hit-laden MR. SEXY MAN: THE ALBUM is that it took so long to appear. The iconic single that lends its name to the title came out in 2013--yes, four long years ago--when it notched the #2 slot (2nd only to J-Wonn's "I Got This Record") on Daddy B. Nice's Top 25 Southern Soul Songs of the Year.

I thought I could never grow tired of this dance jam, but I must admit that while listening to the "Mr. Sexy Man" opening track I recalled the disco scene of the 80's, when just the opening bars to Kool & The Gang's "Celebration"--played as many as three or four times a night--would drive me from the dance floor groaning, "Enough! Enough!" And yet, a hit is a hit is a hit. Check out the link to "Celebration's" YouTube video and you'll find over 100 million (!) views, and "Mr. Sexy Man," although not as well-known (3 million views), is just as irresistible and club-addictive.

Listen to Nellie "Tiger" Travis singing "Mr. Sexy Man" on YouTube.

So why the delay? Because Chicago-based (like Nellie) Floyd Hamberlin, the writer and producer behind MR. SEXY MAN: THE ALBUM, is an unrepentant one-man show, eschewing almost any help in bringing his musical concoctions to fruition, and that takes time.

Hamberlin is a musical genius legendary in southern soul circles for composing and in many cases producing songs like Will T's "Mississippi Boy" (the original version), Artie "Blues Boy" White's "I Can't Afford To Be Broke," Earl Duke's "Salt In My Sugar Bowl," Stan Mosley's "Man Up" and Cicero Blake's "Waiting On You," not to mention the many hits ("If I Back It Up," etc.) he's penned for Ms. Travis. Indeed, when it comes to inspirational, career-building material, Floyd Hamberlin's done it for Nellie "Tiger" Travis in the same way the late Jimmy Lewis used to do it for Peggy Scott-Adams.

So many songs from MR. SEXY MAN: THE ALBUM, have charted at SouthernSoulRnB, it would be a crime not to give the CD a five-star rating. Stingy as I've been with five-stars this year (only Jeter Jones' TRAILRIDE CERTIFIED scored one) I can only find two possible objections to putting MR. SEXY MAN: THE ALBUM in similarly "southern soul heaven" status.

One possible criticism: the songs are so melodically accessible and pop-like that they may lack some of the depth fans associate with southern soul. The second possible criticism: the production, though panoramic in scope, is keyboard-synthesizer-based, which could deter some adherents of live-instruments-only productions. (See, for example, Sweet Angel's recent, all-live-instruments CD CAN'T WALK AWAY.)

But the latter criticism--synthesizer-based productions--has never discouraged avid southern soul music fans (nor disco fans before them) as long the music "swung," and the former criticism--too "pop"--is like calling out the homecoming queen for a freckle.

If you want to hear Nellie going deep-soul on this album, proceed directly to "Walking In The Rain In Memphis," a sober, stately-tempo-ed ballad with a Travis vocal that recalls Etta James in its emotional solidness.

The four songs that begin this CD, beginning with our beloved "What yo' name is? What yo' name is?," constitute a quartet of the most humm-able, dance-able, likable tunes you could wish to hear--a background soundtrack for an intimate party, for example. They've all charted, and here's what your Daddy B. Nice said:

Daddy B. Nice's Top 10 "BREAKING" Southern Soul Singles Preview For. . .

-------DECEMBER 2016-------

…3. "All The Lovers In The House"-----Nellie "Tiger" Travis

If this song hadn't come from composer/producer Floyd Hamberlin, I might not have made it past the first few bars: flowery and flaccid, hinting of elevator music. Then Nellie starts singing. A Southern Soul vocal just doesn't get any better. She transforms it into an anthem so powerful you can visualize how it's going to play out in concert, with the fans all swaying slowly from side to side with their hands in the air. It's so positive--full of warmth, love and community. Check out the early Sir Charles Jones production effects.

Sure, the words are timely, funny and apropos, but it's the musical groove and horn section riff (courtesy of producer Floyd Hamberlin) that really hooks you. From Nellie's new MR. SEXY MAN: THE ALBUM CD.

...4. "Spacey Love"-----Nellie "Tiger" Travis

"Ground control to Major Tom..." Nellie "Tiger" Travis storms the chart for the second month in a row with her romantic, synth-engulfed anthem, "Spacey Love". From her new CD, Mr. Sexy Man: The Album.

Listen to Nellie "Tiger" Travis singing "Spacey Love" on YouTube.


...To which I would only add now that the "timely, funny and apropos" lyrics in "Textual Harassment" are too good not to share. For instance:

"I met this man the other day.
Gave him my number.
Girl, he seemed okay.
But the minute we started talking on the phone,
I knew that he was Mr. Wrong.
Girl, the man wasn't talking about nothing at all,
So I just stopped taking his calls.
Then he started blowing up my line,
Kept on texting me like he lost his mind.
Textual harassment,
Textual harassment..."


And near the end of the song Nellie even gives out the guy's name...

"Tell the police
His name is Bobby MacAvee."


In stressing the quality of these four or five stand-out tracks from Nellie's new album, I don't mean to imply there are no other songs of note. "Tired Of Being Alone," with the delicate lyrical aside--

"We can lay in bed
Late on Saturday,
Or we can watch TV--
That would be okay."


--is another such microcosm of real life, rendered with both wisdom and romantic yearning.

Listen to Nellie "Tiger" Travis singing "Tired Of Being Alone" on YouTube.

Another tune, "Cold Feet," poses a riveting story of a woman who, tired of her lover's infidelity, lines up a tryst with an "old friend". She has a few drinks to "get up her courage" and they arrive at the motel, only for the woman to get "cold feet in a warm bed," and make apologies that she can't do it.

"Fix A Flat" is a mean double-entendre that, guaranteed, no man wants to have directed at him.

"Boy, you were doing real good
Until your tire went down.
You can't do nothing with that.
You need a can of Fix-A-Flat."


Great melodies, witty lyrics, powerful vocals, creative arrangements....There's not much more you can ask from a recording artist, unless it's my opening lament that it takes so many years to compile. MR. SEXY MAN: THE ALBUM is a CD for the ages, and one of Nellie "Tiger" Travis' best.

Daddy B. Nice notes: MR. SEXY MAN, THE ALBUM includes the three songs above, all of which have charted here. (See Comprehensive Index to automatically link to their citations). "Mr. Sexy Man," of course has been written about countless times here, and with the publication of the new album--Floyd Hamberlin writing and producing--your Daddy B. Nice believes it's time to finally give "Mr. Sexy Man the nod over "If I Back It Up" as Nellie's top-rated song. (See right-hand column "Recommended Singles" on this page.) Mr. Sexy Man" seems to have eclipsed "If I Back It Up" in the minds of not only recent but longtime fans.

Daddy B. Nice's Updated Profile:


A website on the Internet now heralds the fact that the horn hook from the Floyd Hamberlin Jr.-written, Nellie Tiger Travis-sung, sex-in-the-club anthem "If I Back It Up" was actually sampled from KC & The Sunshine's Band "Boogie Shoes."

Well, that's true, but it's a stretch. Hamberlin slows it down and draws out the notes, giving them a totally different complexion. Your Daddy B Nice pointed out years ago that the Hamberlin-written, Travis-sung "M.O.D. (Man On Drugs)" appropriated the hook (the bass line) from Bruce Springsteen's "Fire."

Listen to Nellie "Tiger" Travis singing "If I Back It Up" on YouTube.

In both cases, Hamberlin simply looked to the seemingly inexhaustible history of R&B for his initial inspiration, and we the audience are much the better off for it. Hamberlin begins "If I Back It Up" with the horns--that KC-derived hook--and then he runs it through instrumentally again, backed up with enhanced percussion and lead guitar. The sound is steaming--it's got a mid-song frenzy to it. There's Southern Soul swagger and sass all over that brass section hook. To even compare it to KC & The Sunshine Band's mere fillip is to demean its soulful, ecstatic groove.

"Oh yeahhh," is all Nellie says in a drawling, husky, city-of-big-shoulders voice-over. Finally, third time around, Nellie shows up and takes over the record, and her vocal reeks of power, sexuality, energy, toughness and experience.

Whenever I write about Nellie Tiger Travis, I begin with Floyd Hamberlin, Jr., because--like Peggy Scott-Adams with Jimmy Lewis--it's through this songwriter/producer's material that Nellie achieved greatness.

Listen to Nellie Tiger Travis singing "If I Back It Up" on YouTube while you read.

Has a better female-to-male come-on ever been recorded?

"I've been dancing
In this club
All night long.
You've been sitting over there
Staring at me
Like something's wrong."

"Like something's wrong" is the perfect insight.

"I heard you holler,
'Back it up,'
And you gave me
That sexy smile.
You sure look
Good to me,
And I like your style."

Everything Nellie did pre-Hamberlin with the Chicago blues sound and everything she's done since with Dylann DeAnna, Carl Marshall, Simeo and others has been commendable but well within the ordinary parameters of the blues, distinguished primarily by the tough, clear vocals.

After all, Travis possesses one of the great blues voices and personalities of her generation, and she is (as she hints) in her tribute to Koko Taylor a worthy successor to the diva.

But it's "If I Back It Up" and the other classic, Hamberlin-written tunes--"I'm A Woman," "Man On Drugs," "You Gone Make Me Cheat," "Baby Mama Drama," "I Saw It On Oprah," "Slap Yo Weave Off"--that endears Travis to this and future generations of Southern Soul fans.

Nellie is the late, great Reggie P's female counterpart, vocally speaking. Like Reggie, Nellie hasn't recorded much, but what she has recorded is so deliciously gritty it will lurk near the top of any Southern Soul lover's rotation.

Your Daddy B. Nice heard from Floyd Hamberlin over a year ago with news that a new collaboration between him and Nellie "Tiger" Travis was in the works, but all I've received since then is a Christmas song, two years running now.

And unless Carl Marshall can do for Nellie what he did for Arthur Foy around 2005 with "(I'm Not Ready) Don't Stop My Party," I don't see anything noteworthy on the horizon in that direction.

Although there is an exception. Carl Marshall's passionately-written and produced "I'm With You Baby" is a revelation, and very much in that Arthur Foy tradition (or for that matter, the gritty, earthy tradition of Marshall's own "I Lived It All"). Carl's keyboard, guitar and production are satisfyingly lyrical and sweet, and Nellie once again comes off as a rock-and-rolling Southern Soul star.

About Nellie "Tiger" Travis (21st Century)

Nellie Travis was born in Mound Bayou, Mississippi. Although reportedly a "tomboy" growing up (she was also a Homecoming Queen), she didn't pick up the nickname "Tiger" as a youth. That came later, as a result of a decision by Nellie to add something memorable to her performing name in the fashion of artists like Koko Taylor, Big Time Sarah, Big Cynthia and Little Kim Stewart.

One night (the story goes) while brainstorming the idea with her cousin, Nellie came up with the nickname "Angel." Nellie's cousin immediately rejected it. "How about 'Tiger'?" she asked. "Nellie 'Tiger' Travis?" It had a special ring and rhythm to it, and the nickname "Tiger" stuck.

As a child, Travis sang in church and local competitions throughout Mississippi, graduating to lead vocalist of a regional group called SSIPP, fronting touring R&B headliners) before moving to Chicago in 1992.

In Tyrone Davis' Windy City--and on overseas trips--Travis honed an act that featured classic blues and R&B favorites like Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle," Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind" and Tina Turner's "Proud Mary," material that amply showcased Travis' own powerful and gritty style. Her debut CD, an out-of-print blues-dominated disc titled I Got It Like That, appeared in 2000.

(Out-of-print copies of I Got It Like That (Tiger Belle 2000) can still be purchased at Amazon.com.)

Travis also published a collaborative blues CD in Japan called Heart And Soul (Bluesox 2000)

For Southern Soul fans, the most fortuitous development in Travis's career was her collaboration with Chicago-based, Southern Soul composer Floyd Hamberlin. Hamberlin had established a reputation as one of the most unique and prolific of the current generation of songwriters, having written everything from Artie "Blues Boy" White's classic "I Can't Afford To Be Broke" to Will T.'s "Mississippi Boy," along the way writing major portions of the Southern Soul catalogs of Tyrone Davis, Stan Mosley, Charles Wilson, Lee Morris and Cicero Blake.

Hamberlin was ready to produce a record and he approached Nellie "Tiger" Travis, and in late 2005 the CD Wanna Be With You came out on the Floyd Hamberlin/DA Man label.

Filled with first-rate Hamberlin songs executed by Travis in a strong and distinctive Southern Soul style, one track after another found favor with chitlin' circuit audiences, giving the album a high profile through 2005 and the entirety of 2006.

Besides garnering Nellie "Tiger" Travis a slew of awards (See Daddy B. Nice's Top Southern Soul Songs 2006), the album's depth and quality established Travis as one of the most visible young artists on the Southern Soul circuit.

Noteworthy singles included "If I Back If Up," "You Gone Make Me Cheat," "Baby Mama Drama," "Super Woman," "What You Won't Do" and "Who's Fooling Who?"

Travis was signed by the then-fledgling, Southern California label, CDS Records, for her next album, I'm A Woman (2008). The CD featured another series of memorable, Floyd Hamberlin-written tracks--"I'm A Woman," "Slap Yo Weave Off," "I Saw It On Oprah," "Man on Drugs" and "Don't Talk To Me"--all of which raised Travis's profile even more in the Southern Soul genre.

But the partnership between Travis and Hamberlin ended abruptly after the I'm A Woman CD, with neither party ever going on record with the reasons for the fall-out. CDS-associated producers Dylann DeAnna, Carl Marshall and Simeo Overall took over the musical direction of Travis's career, and Travis herself seemed to favor a return to the more mainstream blues market, culimnating in her tribute single to Koko Taylor, "Queen Of The Blues."

The single appeared on 2009's I'm In Love With A Man I Can't Stand (CDS), and in no less than two Koko-themed tracks in 2011's I'm Going Out Tonight (Benevolent Blues).

(The I'm Going Out Tonight CD was re-issued in 2012 in slightly-different form under the title There's A Queen In Me (CDS).)


Song's Transcendent Moment

"Now you want me
to back it up.
Are you serious?
Tell me,
Can you handle it?
'Cause I'm curious,
If I back it up,
What you gonna do?
If I put it on you,
What you gonna do?"

Nellie "Tiger" Travis' "Mr. Sexy Man" came in for high praise in the 2013 "Daddies" (7th Annual) Southern Soul Music Awards. The Floyd Hamberlin-written and produced song was the winner of:

Best Club (Uptempo Dance) Song: "Mr. Sexy Man" by Nellie "Tiger Travis

....and the #2-ranking Southern Soul Song of the Year.

February 1, 2014:

Not to be mistaken for your mama's southern soul, 2013 was the year of Nellie "Tiger" Travis's "Mr. Sexy Man," called in many quarters the "number-one song" in America.
Even Medea (aka comedian Tyler Perry), boasted that the song--the result of Travis' reunion with writer/producer Floyd Hamberlin--was her favorite during a guest stint on The Steve Harvey show.

One of the keys to the song's popularity was the line in the chorus, "what-yo-name-is?" (which Medea mimicked perfectly), proving once again that good English grammar ("What is your name?") just doesn't (don't?) make sense in the world of blues.

Like a 100-year flood, "Mr. Sexy Man" crept into media outlets long known for eschewing southern soul music.
