Behind the infectious beat, inroads had been made overseas as early as spring 1963, when Mr. Gordy, along with Motown executives Esther Gordy Edwards and Barney Ales, made unprecedented sales visits to Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Norway, Sweden and England. Two years later EMI U.K. created the Tamla Motown imprint, an international umbrella for the company’s multi-label output.

January was a tough month for us here at Conant. We had to suspend services here for one INTENTIONAL FAITH DEVELOPMENT Sunday because of the weather. Fortunately here at Conant, we BIBLE STUDY have someone who is very proficient at using electronic media (ZOOM) and an impromptu service was held using that technology. A big thank you goes out to our Minister of Spiritual Formation, Lay Minister Sharon Appling, for a job well done. We are now in the month of February and hopefully things will fare better. February is considered to be Black History Month. While it is officially celebrated in February, black history is evolving each and every day. Yes, we have heroes like Dr. King and Rosa Parks whom we celebrate each year. The fact is that, we have new persons of color emerging each and every day. We have people right here at Conant that should be celebrated for the work they have done and continue to Sundays 9:30 a.m. and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m. do each and every day.

  • JIM FORD LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    JIM FORD LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik Jim Ford was born 23 rd August 1941 in Paintsville, Johnson County, Kentucky, USA. His music is a blend of country, folk, funk and soul; Jim called himself ‘country funky’ – which is about right! He was found dead early in the evening of Sunday 18 th November 2007 in his trailer home by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s department . Only two albums were released during his lifetime: Harlan County (1969) and The Sounds Of Our Time (2007). In between he recorded numerous home demos as well as doing official recording sessions for Capitol and Paramount but none of the tracks laid down were ever issued at the time. In 2006, Swedish journalist L-P Anderson tracked Jim down and discovered a wealth of reel-to-reel tapes piled high on the floor of Jim’s trailer home. The Sounds Of Our Time (2007) contains Jim’s 1969 debut album, complemented with tracks from those reels. Plans were made to release more and even to record again but sadly Jim died before any of this could take place. However, several albums have been issued since, including the two albums Jim recorded in the early 1970s for Capitol and Paramount but were kept in the can. Below is a list of Jim Ford releases. • Harlan County (1969) • The Sounds Of Our Time (2007) • Point Of No Return (2008) • Big Mouth USA – The Unissued Paramount Album (2009) • The Unissued Capitol Album (2009) • Demolition Expert – Rare Acoustic Demos (2011) Included in our Lyric List are songs composed by Jim but recorded by other artists.
