Here's part one of an extract from the particular chapter(s) in House of Broken Hearts where I covered the role of Nashville DJs, radio and TV in promoting soul / R&B. If you want the whole book it's available in PDF format on my site. Part one: https://windlefreelance.com/2022/08/01/radio-and-the-1960s-nashville-rb-scene/ And here's part 2... as a complete aside the pic with John 'R' and Jackey Beavers which has a couple of other guys in it - I speculated the others might have been Continental Showstoppers (knew it was a long shot) but since then its transpired they're not. Someone manage to identify them but can't remember who! Roscoe Shelton / Sam Baker / Allen Orange maybe? https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/blogs/news/radio-tv-and-the-nashville-r-b-scene-part-two-e-mark-windle

Yes it is. If you have any confusion, it may be because at one point he had a tash, though not on The Beat from memory.

This Bell Still Rings. My Life of Defiance and Song - an autobiography by Barbara Dane (hardback version). ***30% discount this weekend (discount automatically applied at checkout)***. Order via link here https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/this-bell-still-rings-my-life-of-defiance-and-song-barbara-dane The publisher's synopsis: The autobiography of a courageous singer-songwriter, activist, and American icon. A renowned folk, blues, and jazz singer who performed with some of the twentieth century's most celebrated musicians, from Louis Armstrong to Bob Dylan. A proud progressive who has tirelessly championed racial equality and economic justice in America, and who has traveled the world to sing out against war and tyranny. An organizer, a venue owner, a record label founder, and a woman who has charted her own creative and political path for more than ninety years. Barbara Dane has led an epic, trailblazing life in music and activism, and This Bell Still Rings tells her story in her own adventurous voice. Dane's memoir charts her trajectory from singing in union halls and at factory gates in World War II-era Detroit, to her rise as a respected blues and jazz singer, to her prominence as a folk musician frequently performing at and participating in civil rights and peace demonstrations across the US and abroad-from post-revolutionary Cuba to wartime Vietnam. This Bell Still Rings illuminates "one of the true unsung heroes of American music" (Boston Globe), and it offers a wealth of inspiration for artists, activists, and anyone seeking a life defined by courage and integrity (473 pages, hardback).
