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. KOCH, JR., J. and BUDDY D. PERRY, SP. J., joined. Grant Smith, Goodlettsville, Tennessee, for the appellants, The Stardust Theatre, Inc., Gary Bridges, and Edward H. Arnold. Melissa M. 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.
JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911-1963) Music Publisher

JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911•1963) Music publisher, booking agent, long•time manager of the Grand Ole Opry, and promoter of Nashville’s music industry, was born in Buffalo Valley, Putnam County, TN. As a young man, Denny found work as a mail clerk with the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, parent organization to WSM and the Grand Ole Opry. With growing interest in country music, Denny was running the WSM Artists Service Bureau by 1946, booking Opry talent and other WSM acts. Denny eventually managed the Grand Ole Opry itself. Denny, along with his predecessor, Jack Stapp, is responsible for updating the face of the Opry. As promoters and developers of talent, they helped to transform the Opry from a popular barn dance to a showcase of country superstars, ensuring its growth and long•term success. During their tenure, the cast grew enormously, most major stars became Opry members, and an Opry appearance became a must goal for many performers. In 1954 Denny and Opry star Webb Pierce formed Cedarwood Publishing Company, for a time the most important publishing house in Nashville. Driftwood Music, a companion firm, was a partnership between Denny and Carl Smith, another Opry star. These business interests led to conflict of interest allegations by WSM and eventually Denny’s dismissal. With his knowledge of WSM operations, Denny achieved immediate success as a booking agent. The Jim Denny Bureau served most of the artists Denny had signed while at the Opry. Billboard magazine estimated that, by 1961, the bureau was handling over 3,300 personal appearances worldwide.

INFORMATIONEN Während seiner über drei Jahrzehnte umspannenden Karriere hat Red Foley mehr Spuren hinterlassen als die meisten seiner Kollegen. Er war der erste Crossover-Country-Star und der erste Sänger dieses Genres, der im Hörfunk und Fernsehen auftrat. Foley war enorm populär, was immer er auch machte. Dies begann mit den Jahren als 'Rambling Red' beim 'National Barn Dance' (WLS Chicago) und setzte sich mit dem 'Renfro Valley Barn Dance' fort. Höhepunkte waren seine geniale Gastgeberrolle bei der legendären 'Grand Ole Opry' und die bahnbrechende TV-Show 'Ozark Jubilee'. Foleys Leben verlief tragisch. Seine persönlichen Probleme konnten nicht größer sein, dennoch halfen ihm Charisma und Talent auch durch schwerste Zeiten. Seine zahlreichen Aufnahmen, die er hinterlassen hat, unterstreichen dies. Die Geschichte nahezu jedes Nashville-Stars seines Kalibers ist inzwischen thematisiert worden – nur die von Red Foley nicht. Diese CD-Box und das dazugehörige Buch dokumentieren Foleys Karriere als Schallplattenkünstler. Enthalten sind alle Aufnahmen, die Foley bis 1950 eingespielt hat (Ausnahme: religiöse und Kinderlieder).

Abstract The release of Loretta Lynn‟s 2004 album Van Leer Rose welcomed back after 33 years one of the premier feminist voices in recorded music. The songs that Loretta wrote in 60s and early 70s were some of the most controversial and politically charged to hit the airwaves. They encompassed a microcosm of issues that rural women were facing including the changing sexual roles of women, ideas on marriage, the ravages of war and substance abuse.

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.
Porter Wagoners Tent

Nov. 15, 1992---- The Grand Ole Opry is the country's longest-running live music and variety radio program. It's fitting that one of country music's longest-running live wires will represent the Opry when it is inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame on Sunday at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. Country singer Porter Wagoner will make a rare stop in Chicago to accept the honors from special guests the Oak Ridge Boys, along with new inductees Don Ameche, "Top 40 Countdown" poobah Casey Kasem, Detroit morning personality J.P. McCarthy and ABC broadcast legend Leonard Goldenson. The program will be broadcast live on WGN-AM and be beamed back to Nashville on WSM-AM, where the Grand Ole Opry was born on Nov. 28, 1925, as "The WSM Barn Dance." Wagoner is from a different era of country music. He first appeared at the Opry in 1957, when he sang his hit "Satisfied Mind" at the old Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. Country music was characterized by a spunky self-reliance, found in the topical breadth of its songs as well as the colorful showmanship of its singers. Few were as colorful as Porter Wagoner: He was one of the first country artists to exploit the broadcast industry. As early as 1951, he appeared on radio with "The Ozark Jubilee," broadcast from KWTO-AM in Springfield, Mo. While at KWTO, Wagoner met Radio Hall of Famer Paul Harvey, who will host Sunday's ceremony. And from 1960 to 1980, Wagoner reached a television audience of up to 45 million with his syndicated "Porter Wagoner Show." One of Wagoner's key sponsors was the Chattanooga Medicine Co., a pharmaceutical outfit that sold Soltice heat rubs, hygenic supplies and Black Draught laxative, promoted as "the fastest-moving product in the South." The permanently pompadoured Wagoner introduced the rhinestone Nudie suit.

WHEREAS, it is fitting that this General Assembly should recognize those gifted artists who have experienced great success in the world of country music; and WHEREAS, Constance June Meador, better known to her legions of fans as Connie Smith, was born August 14, 1941 , to parents Hobart and Wilma Meador in Elkhart, Indiana; she grew up in Ohio where she fell in love with country music listening to the Louvin brothers, George Jones, and Loretta Lynn on Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from Nashville, Tennessee; and WHEREAS, her love of singing was discovered in 1963 by singer-songwriter Bill Anderson. Connie was a housewife and mother with a four-month-old son in Warner, Ohio, when she and her husband went to see a country music show at Frontier Ranch near Columbus, Ohio. She was talked into entering a talent contest, which she won, enabling her to meet Bill, who invited her to sing on the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in March 1964. A few months later Bill invited her back to Nashville to record some demo records; and WHEREAS, in June 1964 Connie was signed to a contract with RCA Victor Records by Chet Atkins, who called her "the greatest girl singer he'd ever heard." She soon cut her very first recording entitled, "Once a Day," which would be a phenomenon in country music history.
