Also, a picture of Darleen, I can’t remember Darleen’s last name, who was our receptionist at WJLD, and also two pictures of one of our Futra Mart supermarket promotions… you had 14 seconds or 14 minutes (had to be 14 seconds..head for the meat counter) or whatever it was, to put stuff in your supermarket wagon. If you win the contest on the radio, you had to fly around this Futra Mart on Third Avenue West, which no longer exists, maybe that’s one of the reasons, but they were a supermarket right around Elyton Village, very nice people, and they participated with us in the promotion. I don’t know the name of the woman who won the promotion. There may be two, first and second prize, but pictured in here are myself in a red jacket, Budweiser Showdown jacket which I got after I ran the Showdown, Keith Reed who was the program director for the station, and WJLD owner Gary Richardson on the far left.

Title A name given to the resource Jack the Rapper, Trade Publication Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 59: "Moving along to folder 60 is a piece from… anyways…. Alright and this is… this has a two copies as well as the original issue of Jack the Rapper. This came out in January 11, 1989, Issue #666, America’s oldest largest circulated black trade publication. I don’t think it’s in existence anymore but we used to get them at the station all the time. Jack the Rapper was in touch with black DJs, black music people all across the country. And as a matter of fact I wrote to him before I went to WJLD to see what he thought about me doing a syndicated show, or more pointedly a radio show on 1950s music and doo-wop and vocal groups and so forth, and he answered me saying that ...and I sent him a taped sample of what I could do... and he said “I think you should consider doing that as a syndicated show,” but at least I got an answer. Anyway, the cover of this particular issue is a remembrance of Dr. King. His life and it has his date of birth and date of passing but also a speech that Dr. King gave to the American Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters back in August, 1967 giving a lot of credit to various broadcasters who had done good work in the interests of civil rights, and he mentions very specifically Tall Paul White. He says “No one knows the importance of Tall Paul White and the massive non-violence demonstrations of the youth of Birmingham in 1963” ...and goes on to talk about Pervis Spann and the Mississippi summer project and Georgie Woods in Philadelphia. The significance of this is now that speech is accessible on Youtube where you can hear him say what he has to say about Paul White and you can hear this huge amount of applause that took place immediately after mentioning his name. So Paul and his contribution and his courage were really noteworthy by his peers during the period of crisis, 1967, when this speech was made, and flies in the face of a lot of people who would like to lay claim as radio broadcasters to inspiring the Birmingham masses when most people know it was Paul "Tall Paul" White and his work. It’s a speech worth reading." 1980s Birmingham Civil Rights Jack the Rapper Martin Luther King Jr. Paul "Tall Paul" White Trade Publication https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/66313ea6d6286d774709e46f350fa62d.jpg 338fc76c579e8733cee4bf0d26fcc021 https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/41895cf33ff51ddced583fa43b3a3c5e.jpg 6294633e3f1c29082a3d99ad74af9f0c https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/38fcb686ef4765ce0114f7d026b4520b.jpg cd831020c59ef34107db5cecbecbe14b https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/4bdc6c1fed67249adb56ea19f8112310.jpg 9ad7ebf16650e6373c29b7c3d5cf855b https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/6a85e2d998ca1ed03dc75d7f24bd7fbb.jpg a9dd6b0a1384b06210550220c2f1adb3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These were products put out by Bullet Productions, and this is a sample sheet from one of those 33 RPM records. For instance, this Blues Hour was considered Blue Money. That was the theme, Blue Money. And during that he would play “My Money’s Green” by Little Charlie and the Nightcaps, he would play “Get Rich Quick” by Little Richard, “Your Cash Ain’t Nothing but Trash” the Clovers, he would play on and on and on. He would play lots of really really good and obscure blues pieces. He didn’t play himself. “Money Honey” by the Drifters and so forth. And we have a lot of these Blues Hour shows in the BBRM.
