Following his high school graduation, Wood enrolled in Compton College. Soon after he took the stage name Brenton Wood, possibly inspired by the wealthy Los Angeles enclave of [[Brentwood, Los Angeles, California|Brentwood]] (some sources state that the name is in honor of his "home county"). During his period there his musical interests began to manifest themselves. He was inspired by [[Jesse Belvin]] and [[Sam Cooke]], and he began cultivating his [[songwriting]] skills, also becoming an accomplished [[pianist]].


His next solo song to reach the charts was "[[Come Softly to Me]]" in 1977.<ref name="LarkinSM"/>
After signing with Double Shot Records he had a hit with "The Oogum Boogum Song" in the spring of 1967. It reached number 19 on the [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] [[record chart|chart]] and number 34 on the corresponding [[Billboard Hot 100]] [[pop music|pop]] listing. His biggest hit came in September the same year. "Gimme Little Sign" hit #9 on the pop chart and also #19 on the R&B charts. In the song ''Gimme Little Sign'' is not sung, instead the [[refrain|chorus]] repeats "Give Me Some Kind of Sign".


He returned again in 1986 with the album ''Out of the Woodwork'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Brenton-Wood-Out-Of-The-Woodwork/release/3531621 |title=Brenton Wood – Out Of The Woodwork (Vinyl, LP, Album) |year=1986 |publisher=Discogs.com |access-date=August 19, 2015}}</ref> which included contemporary re-recordings of his early hits, along with several new tracks, including the single, "Soothe Me."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Brenton-Wood-Soothe-Me-Cold-Cash/release/3298137 |title=Brenton Wood – Soothe Me / $Cold Cash$ (Vinyl) |year=1986 |publisher=Discogs.com |access-date=August 19, 2015}}</ref> His album ''This Love Is for Real'' came out in 2001.

Wood continued to perform and even recorded a [[duet (music)|duet]] with [[Shirley Goodman]]. He reached the charts again in 1977, when "Come Softly to Me" registered in the lower reaches of the listings. Following its release, Wood became part of the oldies soul circuit. In 2001, he finally returned with an [[album]] of new material, ''This Love Is for Real''.
"Gimme Little Sign" was later covered by [[Danielle Brisebois]], who had a hit with it in 1994. "Gimme Little Sign" was also [[sound recording and reproduction|recorded]] by [[Ricky Nelson]].


In 2019, "The Oogum Boogum Song" was used in a commercial for [[Kinder Joy]] products.
Though Brenton Wood had few charted singles, his entire work is considered to be quintessential lowrider cruisin' oldies, and are featured on an uncountable amount of oldies compilations popular with a Latino, specifically Chicano, audience.


Brenton Wood does not own the rights to any of his songs. They are all owned by famous Los Angeles DJ, Art Laboe.
In 2024, Brenton Wood announced his farewell tour ''Catch You On The Rebound: The Last Tour''. Wood was hospitalized in May 2024, pausing his tour.

Alfred Jesse Smith (born July 26, 1941),[1] better known as Brenton Wood, is an American singer and songwriter known for his three 1967 hit singles, "The Oogum Boogum Song" (peaking at No. 34 on the US Billboard Hot 100), "Gimme Little Sign" (peaking at No. 9), and "Baby You Got It" (also peaking at No. 34).

Early life

[edit]

Wood was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States.[2] The family moved to San Pedro in Los Angeles, California, when Wood was a child. He attended San Pedro High School for part of his first year before moving to Compton, where Brenton became a member of the Compton High School track team and received several awards for his athletic achievements.

Following his high school graduation, Wood enrolled in East Los Angeles College. Soon after, he took the stage name Brenton Wood, possibly inspired by the wealthy Los Angeles enclave of Brentwood[2] (some sources state that the name is in honor of his "home county"), with a second possible connection of Bretton Woods. During this period, his musical interests began to manifest themselves. He was inspired by Jesse Belvin and Sam Cooke, and he began cultivating his songwriting skills, also becoming a competent pianist.[1]

Career

[edit]

1960s

[edit]

Early singles for Brent Records and Wand Records failed to chart. Wood signed with Double Shot Records, and his novelty song "The Oogum Boogum Song"[2] reached No. 19 on the US Billboard R&B chart and No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1967. In Southern California, "The Oogum Boogum Song" hit the top 10 on KGB-FM and No. 1 on KHJ. Wood's biggest hit came a few months later, as "Gimme Little Sign" hit No. 9 on the pop chart,[2] No. 19 on the R&B charts, No. 2 on KHJ, and No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart;[3] sold over one million copies; and was awarded a gold disc.[1] The title is not actually sung in the song; the chorus instead repeats "Give Me Some Kind of Sign". Wood's "Baby You Got It" (1967)[2] peaked at No. 34 on the Hot 100 during the last week of 1967 and No. 3 on KHJ on January 31, 1968. His backing band during the 1960s was the LA-based Kent and The Candidates, which was led by drummer Kent Sprague.[4][5] They also recorded several singles for the Double Shot label.[6][7]

1970s

[edit]

A true music entrepreneur, in 1972 Wood formed his own record label and released, co-produced and co-wrote the Funk Soul classic "Sticky Boom Boom [Too Cold] Part I and II" with collaborators George Semper (co-producer, arranger) and Al McKay (co-writer, performer) of Earth, Wind & Fire fame.[8] Wood recorded a duet with Shirley Goodman.[2]

Wood recorded the single, "Rainin' Love (You Gotta Feel It)" which was released on Midget M-101 in 1975. Along with "Bump Me Baby" by Dooley Silverspoon, "The Mighty Clouds of Joy" by Mighty Clouds of Joy, "Come on Down (Get Your Head Out of the Clouds)" by Greg Perry etc., it was a Newcomer Pick. With a positive review by the magazine, it was predicted to case quite a stir.[9]

His next solo song to reach the charts was "Come Softly to Me" in 1977.[2]

He returned again in 1986 with the album Out of the Woodwork,[10] which included contemporary re-recordings of his early hits, along with several new tracks, including the single, "Soothe Me."[11] His album This Love Is for Real came out in 2001. Among his later appearances was in 2006 on the Los Angeles public access program Thee Mr. Duran Show, where Wood and his band performed several of his hit singles.[12]

In 2014, he partnered with William Pilgrim & The All Grows Up for a remake of the song "Gimme Little Sign" on their album, Epic Endings.[13]

In 2019, "The Oogum Boogum Song" was used in a commercial for Kinder Joy products.

In 2024, Brenton Wood announced his farewell tour Catch You On The Rebound: The Last Tour. Wood was hospitalized in May 2024, pausing his tour.
