Timmy Thomas Timmy Thomas Lightning Has Struck Twice. Soul Legend Timmy Thomas, who serenaded the world in 1973 with his million-selling smash "Why Can't We Live Together," has conquered the world again. Thanks to Drake's beyond-obvious sample of "Why Can't We Live Together" in his monster worldwide hit "Hotline Bling," the world is dancing yet again to Timmy Thomas' groove. 2016 will find him releasing a string of singles on Overtown Records and one on Saustex Media, prior to his comeback album. His collaborators range from the late Steve Jobs to Timmy's old hitmaking crew at TK records. They were recorded in the manner Soul Music deserves: Living and Breathing on analog tape - so it may be released on vinyl. He famously sang "People Are Changing” on h is first LP. The people may have changed, but their love of his soulful groove remains the same. Back in 1973, while running a nightclub by night and working at a university by day, Timmy turned his reaction to Walter Cronkite's Vietnam body count into a soulful plea for tolerance. "Why Can't We Live Together" took his one- man soul band to 38 countries. He was the first American recording artist to play apartheid-controlled South Africa. Quotes Timmy and his message made such an impact that he came back twice: to headline South Africa's first non racial "Timmy's song resonates now more concert and 20 years later at Nelson Mandela's Presidential than ever-ever" Inauguration. - NPR In August 2015, he signed with Miami Soul label Overtown "... it [Why Can’t We Live Records. Two days later he found out Drake had sampled "Why Can't We Live Together" and was climbing the charts Together]took over the world" at home in the US and around the Globe. The sudden - Miami New Times recognition and following media frenzy relaunched Timmy Thomas before he had a chance to record one new note “His original song helped to bring with his still-powerful voice. NPR profiled him and testified down Apartheid, and we now hope to his classic hit's staying power and relevance in 2015: that we can bring peace to the "Timmy's song resonates now more than ever-ever..." world." - Stephen Tucker soultracks.com Kimberly Chmura [email protected] +1 (305) 332-2623 Video Link: Why Can't We Live Together (Music video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz1yjKMIfD0 .

Lambrechts Co-supervisor: Dr. C. J. P. Fransch March 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third-party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Ashrudeen Waggie March 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In 1968 the United Nations General Assembly instituted a cultural boycott against apartheid South Africa. The cultural boycott prevented South Africa from having cultural, educational and sporting ties with the rest of the world, and it was an attempt by the international community to sever ties with South Africa. A culmination of this strategy was the publication of an annual registry by the United Nations of all international entertainers, actors, and others who performed in South Africa from 1983. Based on this registry a number of academic studies have been conducted, but very few studies have investigated those who came to perform in South Africa before the publication of the registry even though renowned artists such as Percy Sledge (1970), Brook Benton (1971 & 1982), Jimmy Smith (1978 & 1982) and Isaac Hayes (1978) performed in South Africa during this time.

First, though, comes the lead-in show, “Monday Night Countdown.” The inherent challenge here, it seems to an outsider, is to make more than two hours of older men sitting down, talking, and not playing football remotely compelling to watch. To keep the energy level high, the network uses brash-talking commentators, action-packed game highlights, fancy graphics,proof and, very selectively, music. As the show goes to its last commercial, the camera pulls back from the broadcasters and an up-tempo song blares briefly.

  • An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 435 403 IR 057 553 AUTHOR Halliday, Blane TITLE An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library. PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.
