Musical Imaginary, Identity and Representation: the Case of Gentleman the German Reggae Luminary
Ali 1 Musical Imaginary, Identity and Representation: The Case of Gentleman the German Reggae Luminary A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with distinction in Comparative Studies in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Raghe Ali April 2013 The Ohio State University Project Advisors Professor Barry Shank, Department of Comparative Studies Professor Theresa Delgadillo, Department of Comparative Studies Ali 2 In 2003 a German reggae artist named Gentleman was scheduled to perform at the Jamworld Entertainment Center in the south eastern parish of St Catherine, Jamaica. The performance was held at the Sting Festival an annual reggae event that dates back some twenty years. Considered the world’s largest one day reggae festival, the event annually boasts an electric atmosphere full of star studded lineups and throngs of hardcore fans. The concert is also notorious for the aggressive DJ clashes1 and violent incidents that occur. The event was Gentleman’s debut performance before a Jamaican audience. Considered a relatively new artist, Gentleman was not the headlining act and was slotted to perform after a number of familiar artists who had already “hyped” the audience with popular dancehall2 reggae hits. When his turn came he performed a classical roots 3reggae song “Dem Gone” from his 2002 Journey to Jah album. Unhappy with his performance the crowd booed and jeered at him. He did not respond to the heckling and continued performing despite the audience vocal objections. Empty beer bottles and trash were thrown onstage. Finally, unable to withstand the wrath and hostility of the audience he left the stage.

People with Disabilities Get Ready: Curtis Mayfield in the 1990S Ray Pence, Ph.D
People with Disabilities Get Ready: Curtis Mayfield in the 1990s Ray Pence, Ph.D. University of Kansas Abstract: This article breaks with precedent by emphasizing disability’s role in the life and work of Curtis Mayfield (1942-1999) and by arguing that his experience of quadriplegia had both positive and difficult dimensions. Analysis focuses on Mayfield’s representation by journalists and other writers in the 1990s, and on how Mayfield answered their portrayals as an interview subject and as a musician with his final studio album New World Order (1996). Considered within the whole of Mayfield’s career, quadriplegia is revealed as one among many difficulties that he answered with critical positive thinking and powerful music. Key Words: quadriplegia, African-American music, civil rights “When a celebrity is ‘stricken’... editors and producers of national news organizations fall all over each other to run a mass-market variation on the theme, but in terms of narrative structure the celebrity story is simply the same notes scored for a symphony orchestra rather than a string quartet” (Riley, 2005, p. 13). Introduction Curtis Lee Mayfield (1942-1999) was a master of soul, rhythm, and blues with enormous and positive cultural influence in the last forty years of the twentieth century. Mayfield was also a person with disabilities—diabetes and, more significantly, quadriplegia—that he acquired late in life. Images are as important as sounds to understanding relationships between Mayfield’s quadriplegia and his music. Three contrasting views of Mayfield lying flat on his back during the 1990s provide a sort of visual synopsis of public perceptions of his final years.

“People Get Ready”
“People Get Ready” Excerpt from Lyrics By Curtis Mayfield People get ready, there's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage, you just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord Excerpt from the Chapter Essay by Craig Werner No song captures the feel of the early Movement better than Curtis Mayfield’s gospel-inflected “People Get Ready,” which culminates in an invitation to “get on board.” The center of a vibrant Chicago soul scene, which in terms of pure talent rivaled Detroit and Memphis, Mayfield embodied the relationship between Civil Rights, gospel and soul. Known as "the gentle genius," Mayfield grew up attending the Traveling Souls Spiritualist Church, a storefront church pastured by his Grandmother on Chicago’s poverty-stricken West Side. The experienced shaped both his politics and his approach to music. “Gospel was your foundation,” Mayfield said when asked about the inspiration for his songwriting. “All you had to do was just change some few lyrics. ‘Keep on Pushing’ was intended, written as a gospel song. All I needed to do to lock it in with The Impressions was say ‘I’ve got my strength’ instead of “God gave me strength and it don’t make sense.’ Nothing else needed to be changed.” WWW.TEACHROCK.ORG That quiet determination was part of what made Mayfield’s music more than just background for the Movement. When Martin Luther King, Jr., launched an ultimately unsuccessful campaign targeting housing discrimination in Chicago, organizers tapped into The Impressions' local popularity even more directly.

The Funky Diaspora
The Funky Diaspora: The Diffusion of Soul and Funk Music across The Caribbean and Latin America Thomas Fawcett XXVII Annual ILLASA Student Conference Feb. 1-3, 2007 Introduction In 1972, a British band made up of nine West Indian immigrants recorded a funk song infused with Caribbean percussion called “The Message.” The band was Cymande, whose members were born in Jamaica, Guyana, and St. Vincent before moving to England between 1958 and 1970.1 In 1973, a year after Cymande recorded “The Message,” the song was reworked by a Panamanian funk band called Los Fabulosos Festivales. The Festivales titled their fuzzed-out, guitar-heavy version “El Mensaje.” A year later the song was covered again, this time slowed down to a crawl and set to a reggae beat and performed by Jamaican singer Tinga Stewart. This example places soul and funk music in a global context and shows that songs were remade, reworked and reinvented across the African diaspora. It also raises issues of migration, language and the power of music to connect distinct communities of the African diaspora. Soul and funk music of the 1960s and 1970s is widely seen as belonging strictly in a U.S. context. This paper will argue that soul and funk music was actually a transnational and multilingual phenomenon that disseminated across Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond. Soul and funk was copied and reinvented in a wide array of Latin American and Caribbean countries including Brazil, Panama, Jamaica, Belize, Peru and the Bahamas. This paper will focus on the music of the U.S., Brazil, Panama and Jamaica while highlighting the political consciousness of soul and funk music.

In the Middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield Quit the Impressions and Began One of the Most Groundbreaking and Successful Solo Careers in History
In the middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield quit the Impressions and began one of the most groundbreaking and successful solo careers in history. Nothing happened to force his hand—no dramatic falling out or heated argument. In his customary seat-of-the-pants way, he simply picked up the phone one evening, called fellow Impression Fred Cash, and said, “Fred, I’m going to try to go on my own and see what I can do. You and Sam [Gooden] can do the same thing. Y’all go on your own and see what you can do.” Fred called Sam and told him the news, and that was it. My father left the group. Fred, Sam, and the Impressions, three of the most important forces in my father’s life for more than a decade, no longer occupied his mind. The boyhood dreams, the endless miles traveled on tour, the lonely nights trying to steal sleep in motel beds, the harmonizing and fraternizing all came to an end. Dad struggled with the decision. For years, the three Impressions were so close that if you saw one of them, you usually saw the other two. They spent more time with each other than they did with their own wives. Yet, my father had the ability to turn off his emotions and make cold, calculated business decisions when he felt it necessary. Recalling this side of him, my brother Tracy says, “You saw a good and evil. The evil part came out when it was about business. I always separated the parent from the businessperson.

STEPHENS rT r aHE SOUL TRADITION is a prime cultural force in American popular music; of that, there can be little doubt, although this musical phenomenon is sometimes vaguely defined. Born of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements of the 1960s, soul has provided a musical and cultural foundation for virtually every facet of contemporary popular music. More important than its commercial successes, however, are the messages and philosophies it has communicated and the musical influences which underlie its development.

The Sociology of American Popular Music (Soap) Unit 5
September 12, 2013 THE SOCIOLOGY OF AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC (SOAP) UNIT 5 NOTES Soul, Motown, & Funk September 12, 2013 SOUL, MOTOWN, AND FUNK Soul Music was created by and for African Americans through the merging of black Gospel with rhythm 'n' blues that began in the late 1950s - most of the artists that performed soul music were Gospel singers and instrumentalists who combined some of the traditions of the black church (emotional singing, call-and-response, the stress on the backbeat, and rhythmic complexity) with the secular traditions of popular music (primarily the subject matter of the lyrics and the performance venues) - soul music represented an authentic "blackness" that supported and reinforced the Black Power and Civil Rights movement - soul singers sang for social justice, black militancy, and racial pride - the music also preached a message of nonviolence and love - it celebrated the growing Black Consciousness Movement, a time of struggle as well as unprecedented gains - soul music was tangible evidence that the psyche and attitudes in the black community were changing - the civil rights movement was empowering black people, and the new soul music celebrated rights finally won and expressed hope for the future Early Soul Music - Ray Charles - pianist/singer who was blinded by glaucoma when he was six years old - learned to read and write music notation in Braille - became an orphan at 15 and began to make his living by playing music - fused elements of Gospel and R&B - 1st recording identified as "soul" was his 1959 hit

Syllabus for RESPECT: Minority Voices in Early Soul, Reggae, Rock, and Folk
Syllabus for RESPECT: Minority Voices in Early Soul, Reggae, Rock, and Folk OLLI UC Berkeley Fall 2021 Mondays, 9:30am-11am Instructor: Richie Unterberger Week One: Social Commentary and Protest in Soul Music, Pt. 1 In Soul of the 1960s While occasional soul songs of the first half of the 1960s had observations about the world at large, for the most part they dealt with romantic love, as well as a good share of tunes about partying and dancing. Many of these songs were great and classic. But wasn’t until the late 1960s that compositions commenting about the American (and sometimes specifically African-American) experience became a significant part of soul music. Curtis Mayfield, principal singer-songwriter of the Impressions, was perhaps the first to regularly express such sentiments. By the late 1960s, other stars like Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Nina Simone, and Sly & the Family Stone were also doing so occasionally. After some initial resistance on the part of its ownership and producers, Motown Records also made significant forays into this territory, most often with the Temptations, but also with the Supremes and other artists. Week Two: Social Commentary and Protest in Soul Music, Pt. 2 In Soul of the 1970s In the first half of the 1970s, socially conscious soul music sometimes gets tougher and more militant. At Motown, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder not only successfully fight for more artistic freedom to record more lyrically aware material, but also focus on long- playing albums as a medium of expression that are at least as important as hit singles.

Jerry Butler and the Impressions."
February 28, 1988— The flash shines brighter as the song grows older. Formerly the cool baritone of the Impressions, Jerry "The Ice Man” Butler just returned from an oldies show in Pittsburgh, where he appeared with the Flamingos and the Moonglows. During a conversation in his fifth- floor offices at the County Building, I asKed the CooK County commissioner what goes through his mind when he listens to the permanent magic of the old songs - the stark beauty of "For Your Precious Love," the snap- fingered soul of "It's Alright" and the grizzly power of "Only the Strong Survive." "It's difficult to thinK in those terms," he said. "The one thing that came to my mind was that most of the members in those groups were either dead or no longer in the group. "Those things really flash at you when you're in that environment." Butler will appear in an arena of his own next week in the Moulin Rouge at the Fairmont Hotel, 200 N. Columbus. By all rights, the Impressions should have blazed the same trail of glory as the Temptations. Butler’s appointed lead baritone was the ideal complement for the vulnerable falsetto of Curtis Mayfield. Through such wide emotional range, the Impressions could be masculine with Butler’s booming voice or feminine through Mayfield's soaring sentimentality. Butler and Mayfield were the original river deep, mountain high. Butler formally left the Impressions in 1959 - only a year after their first hit, "For Your Precious Love" - although he continued to collaborate as a songwriter and singer with Mayfield.
