Arzell Hill (September 30, 1935 – April 27, 1984), known as Z. Z. Hill (pronounced "Zee Zee...") was an Americanbluessinger best known for his recordings in the 1970s and early 1980s, including his 1982 album for Malaco Records, Down Home, which stayed on the Billboard soul albumchart for nearly two years. The track "Down Home Blues" has been called the best-known blues song of the 1980s. According to the Texas State Historical Association, Hill "devised a combination of blues and contemporary soul styling and helped to restore the blues to modern black consciousness."
Life
Born in Naples, Texas, Hill began his singing career in the late 1950s as part of a gospel group called The Spiritual Five, touring Texas. He was influenced by Sam Cooke, B. B. King, and Bobby "Blue" Bland, and began performing his own songs and others in clubs in and around Dallas, including spells fronting bands led by Bo Thomas and Frank Shelton. He took his stage name in emulation of B. B. King.
Encouraged by Otis Redding who had seen him perform, he joined his older brother, budding record producer Matt Hill, in Los Angeles in 1963, and released his first single, "You Were Wrong", on the family's own M.H. label. It spent one week at no.100 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964, and Hill was quickly signed by Kent Records. Most of his records for Kent were written or co-written by Hill, and arranged by leading saxophonistMaxwell Davis. None charted, but in retrospect many, such as "I Need Someone (To Love Me)", are now viewed with high regard by soul fans.
José Gilson Rodriguez, commonly called Zézé, (18 December 1942 – 31 May 2006) was a Brazilian professional footballer, who played for, among other clubs, 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga.
Zézé was the first-ever Brazilian player in the German Bundesliga but left the country after being diagnosed with a snow allergy.
Career
Zézé spend his early career with Madureira, Guaratinguetá and Madureira again before being signed by 1. FC Köln in the summer of 1964, on the advice of Polish player agent Julius Ukrainczyk, without ever having been scouted by a representative of the club. He was signed for a then club record fee of DM 150,000 and allegedly arrived in Cologne on a Banana boat from Brazil. Zézé impressed the club in warm up matches before the start of the season, raising hopes he would be a miracle forward.
Zézé made his debut for 1. FC Köln on 22 August 1964 in a 2–3 loss to Hertha BSC. He played one more game for the club in 1964, in December against 1. FC Nürnberg. Zézé's next appearance in a competitve match for Köln was on 20 February 1965 when he played against Eintracht Braunschweig. He made an appearance in a 0–0 away draw at Liverpool F.C. in the quarter final of the European Cup in March, with 1. FC Köln exiting the 1964–65 edition after three drawn games on coin toss. Zézé then played two more Bundesliga matches, against Karlsruher SC and 1. FC Kaiserslautern. In the latter he registered his only goal for Köln in a competitive match when he scored the first goal in a 3–0 win. He was however not the first Brazilian to score in the Bundesliga, with Raoul Tagliari already having done so in a match for Meidericher SV against 1. FC Nürnberg on 21 November 1964, making his Bundesliga debut in this game three month after Zézé.
