  • LB – LONG BIO 2019 Copy
    LEVAR BURTON Biography LeVar Burton launched his acting career while still a student at the University of Southern California. Cast in the groundbreaking role of Kunta Kinte in the landmark television series “Roots,” at 19 he found himself on the cover of Time Magazine. A seemingly impossible act to follow, Burton managed to do so in dramatic fashion, achieving further global acclaim as Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge in the iconic “Star Trek: The Next Generation” television series and in feature films. However, it has been his role as host and executive producer of the beloved PBS children’s series “Reading Rainbow” of which he is most proud. Airing from 1983 to 2009, it was not only one of the longest-running children’s television shows in history, but also one of the most acclaimed, earning over 200 awards including multiple Emmys and a Peabody. Always committed to improving children’s education through innovative uses of storytelling, in 2012 Burton launched RRKidz, a digital educational publishing company. In a deal that ended in August, 2017 his company held the global rights to the Reading Rainbow brand through a partnership with series creator, WNED/Buffalo. That partnership resulted in a successful relaunch of the Reading Rainbow brand for a new generation of children. SKYBRARY is a digital reading service filled with over 500 children’s fiction and non-fiction books, more than 150 newly-produced video field trips and new content added every week. With over 16 million books and videos enjoyed since launch, SKYBRARY is a top selling educational app on iTunes and recipient of numerous awards.

  • GEORGE HAMILTON, V V. the STARDUST THEATRE, INC., ET AL
    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE March 19, 2002 Session GEORGE HAMILTON, V v. THE STARDUST THEATRE, INC., ET AL. Appeal from the Chancery Court for Davidson County No. 00-965-II Carol McCoy, Chancellor No. M2001-00678-COA-R3-CV - Filed June 11, 2002 A singer/songwriter brought a copyright infringement suit against a country music theater, its manager and its owner. The defendants admitted to the unlicenced use of the plaintiff’s trademark, but argued that the plaintiff did not suffer any damages from their infringement. The trial court did not agree, and awarded the plaintiff over $90,000. We reverse in part, because we believe that the evidence preponderates against the court’s award of damages. Tenn. R. App. P. 3 Appeal as of Right; Judgment of the Chancery Court Affirmed in Part; Reversed in Part; and Remanded BEN H. CANTRELL, P.J., M.S., delivered the opinion of the court, in which WILLIAM C.

Allen, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, George Hamilton, V. OPINION I. THE CREATION AND INFRINGEMENT OF A TRADEMARK In 1993, country music singer/songwriter George Hamilton, V came up with the expression “Viva NashVegas,” and began using it as a signature part of his act, shouting it from the stage at each live performance. He wrote and recorded a theme song with that title, and renamed his band the NashVegas Nomads.

His most famous hits include: Abilene, Canadian Pacific, A Rose and a Baby Ruth and Steel Rail Blues. He worked with some of the greatest Rock 'n' Roll artists--Elvis, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and the Everly Brothers--although his first love was country music and the Grand Ole Opry. From his birth in North Carolina in 1937, Ambassador of Country Music traces Hamilton's rising fame, and the pressures of touring and a thriving career that threatened his family life. It reveals the tough times in Nashville when George turned his back on "pop" to concentrate on country music, and describes how most of George's life was spent coasting along in "token Christianity", until he "nailed his colours to the mast" in a dramatic way.
