  • Jackie Shane, Transgender Pioneer of 1960S Soul Music, Dies at 78
    SUBSCRIBE LOG IN Jackie Shane, Transgender Pioneer of 1960s Soul Music, Dies at 78 The soul singer Jackie Shane between sets in Canada in 1967. Jeff Goode/Toronto Star, via Getty Images By Liam Stack Feb. 22, 2019 Jackie Shane, a black transgender soul singer who packed nightclubs in 1960s Toronto before she stepped out of the spotlight for decades, only to re-emerge with a Grammy-nominated record in her 70s, has died. She was 78. Her death was confirmed by Douglas Mcgowan, her producer and friend. He said her body was found at her home in Nashville on Thursday. He said he did not know when she had died or the cause. Almost five decades passed between Ms. Shane’s 1960s career in Canada and her 2018 Grammy nomination for best historical album, for “Any Other Way.” The record introduced her to a new generation of fans, and today her face is part of a towering mural in downtown Toronto. “I do believe that it’s like destiny,” Ms. Shane told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation this month. “I really feel that I have made a place for myself with wonderful people. What I have said, what I have done, they say it makes their lives better.” Jackie Shane was born in Nashville on May 15, 1940, and grew up as a black transgender child in the Jim Crow South. But she made her name after she moved to Toronto around 1959, becoming a force in its music scene and packing its nightclubs. She scored the No. 2 spot on the Canadian singles chart in 1963 with her silky cover of William Bell’s “Any Other Way.” The song is about putting on a brave face for the friend of an ex-girlfriend, but Ms.

In addition to readings, you will listen carefully to important pieces of music, exploring them formally and historically. Each week, you’ll read a mixture of autobiography, music journalism, interviews, social criticism, and more. You will listen to music, and sometimes view a documentary or video. Several short response essays throughout the semester will allow you to flex your critical and argumentative muscles. By the end of the semester, you will possess an expanded musical vocabulary and a deep knowledge of an important branch of musical history.

    Master Document National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form The Burgess-Osborne Memorial Auditorium 1701 Wabash Avenue Mattoon, Illinois Prepared by Stephen A. Thompson Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc. April 2018 Executive Summary The following document is the master National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination form submitted in a draft configuration to the Illinois State Historic Preservation Officer on 04 August 2017 for the 1953 Burgess-Osborne Memorial Auditorium (the Burgess) located at 1701 Wabash Avenue, Mattoon, Illinois. This NRHP document addresses the social and architectural significance of the Burgess and is an expansion of the 2013 Coles County List of Significant Places document generated for local landmarking of the Burgess. A related social sub-context addressed in detail in Appendix A of Section 8 is the role the Burgess played in the regional 1950s and 1960s pop music culture, with emphasis on the teen dances/concerts held at the facility and the bands that played there. The research of the associated contexts and the preparation of the nomination form were undertaken by Stephen A. Thompson of Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc., Carolyn Cloyd and Joyce St. Michael, members of the Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council, assisted with research and preparation of the National Register documentation. The Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council is an historic preservation advisory body under the Coles County Regional Planning & Development Commission, which reports to the Coles County Board. After thorough research and evaluation it has been determined that the Burgess is eligible for listing on the NRHP in that it: 1. Is locally significant under NRHP Criterion A, “…events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.” 2.

  • Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds for Our Purposes, The
    "KICK OUT THE JAMS!" Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds For our purposes, the story of Detroit rock & roll begins on September 3, 1948, when a little-known local performer named John Lee Hooker entered United Sound Studios for his first recording session. Rock & roll was still an obscure rhythm & blues catchphrase, certainly not yet a musical genre, and Hooker's career trajectory had been that of the standard-issue bluesman. A native of the Mississippi Delta, he had drifted north for the same reason that eastern Europeans and Kentucky hillbillies, Greeks and Poles and Arabs and Asians and Mexicans had all been migrating toward Michigan in waves for the first half of the 20th Century. "The Motor City it was then, with the factories and everything, and the money was flowing," Hooker told biographer Charles Shaar Murray." All the cars were being built there. Detroit was the city then. Work, work, work, work. Plenty work, good wages, good money at that time."1 He worked many of those factories, Ford and General Motors among them, and at night he plied the craft of the bluesman in bars, social clubs and at house parties. But John Lee Hooker was no ordinary bluesman, and the song he cut at the tail of his first session, "Boogie Chillen," was no ordinary blues. Accompanied only by the stomp of his right foot, his acoustic guitar hammered an insistent pattern, partially based on boogie-woogie piano, that Hooker said he learned from his stepfather back in Mississippi as "country boogie." Informed by the urgency and relentless drive of his Detroit assembly line experiences, John Lee's urban guitar boogie would become a signature color on the rock & roll palette, as readily identifiable as Bo Diddley's beat or Chuck Berry's ringing chords.

Ken Major, our illustrious hard working membership secretary, coined the perfect phrase whilst enthusiastically describing the evening thus - “Heart and Soul Of Tales From The Woods” - that folks shall head all future advertising art work for what we sincerely hope will be many twice/thrice annually events. Whilst in the surrounding streets, the hoi polloi were crowding and shoving inside pubs and bars, shouting above a predictable canned soundtrack, or clung on to their glasses amongst the cacophony and pollution of the city streets outside the establishments of their choice, not for us Woodies; we were inside in comfort, recreating an age now sadly past when live music rang from countless venues in this historical, vibrant and sometimes seedy area of London.
