boba Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 this is so awesome: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2211&dat=19710327&id=GCImAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Lf4FAAAAIBAJ&pg=2506,1796337 (don't miss the personals and "riddles" on the next page). I'm sure Roburt will screencap every single soul related thing in the "Afro-American" now (Black newspaper from Baltimore). 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Been doing so for at least 5 years already Bob. I'm surprised that the paper has been readable online for 5 years. But not surprised that you spent 5 years cropping stuff from it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Back to Kansas .............. The Fabulous Flippers, led by amazing white soul singer Danny Hein, were one of the bands that orbited around the Red Dog Inn in Lawrence, Kan., in the mid-1960s. They were managed by John Brown, who owned the club, and promoted heavily on KOMA-AM out of Oklahoma City. They tore up dance halls up and down the center of the country. Their recording of “Harlem Shuffle” was released on Cameo Records C-439 in September 1966. Flip side was “I Don’t Want to Cry.” For fans of the Lawrence-based 1970s-80s reggae act the Blue Riddim Band: look for saxophonist Jack Blackett in the background of this video .....

Roburt Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) And some bits from Cleveland ........ In 1963, business partners Leo Frank and Jules Berger opened Leo's Casino in the lounge of the old Quad Hall Hotel at 7500 Euclid Avenue. The club could host 700 people and regularly booked the top jazz and R&B acts of its era. The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane, the Miracles, Ray Charles and the Temptations all performed at Leo's Casino, as did comedians Richard Pryor and Flip Wilson. Otis Redding played his final concert there on December 9, 1967, dying in a plane crash in Wisconsin the following afternoon. Co-owner Leo Frank opened his first club - Leo's - in 1952 at East 49th Street and Central Avenue. Leo's attracted the nation's leading jazz and R&B acts, but burned down in 1962, leading to the opening of Leo's Casino the following year. The new club was one of the most racially integrated nightlife spots in Cleveland. In July 1966 The Supremes played to a packed house of blacks and whites at Leo's not long after the Hough Riots broke out mere blocks away from the club. Eventually, bigger venues offering bigger paydays began to lure the top performers away from the venue. Continued population decline and disinvestment in Cleveland's east side after the Hough Riots further hurt the club's fortunes. Leo's Casino closed in 1972 and was later torn down.
