Recovery Happens February 2021 Volume 13, Issue 2 Recovery Happens Illuminating pathways toward opportunity, possibility, wellness and independence. Restoration Society, Inc., 66 Englewood Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14214 www.rsiwny.org (716) 832-2141 Fax (716) 832-0021 IT HAPPENED IN BUFFALO article by Anita H. and Rosario P. Mary Burnett Talbert was born in Oberlin Ohio and worked for a time in Little Rock Arkansas, although Buffalo is where she would make her name. An active participant in the Michigan Street Baptist Church Congregation (which both still exists and counts Restoration Societies Anita H. as one of their members), Talbert enacted change both in her surrounding community and her country. Through her connections Talbert helped organize the first meeting of the Niagara Movement, a predecessor group to the NAACP. Talbert was also an ardent Anti-Lyncher calling for all people to come together and unite against injustices faced by communities throughout the United States. Talbert is remembered as a woman of faith, a teacher and most prominently a leader and community organizer. She is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, New York. BLACK HISTORY MONTH PLAYLIST article by Carolyn B. In observation of Black History Month, I've made a playlist of some of my favorite songs recorded by black musicians during my favorite years in music history. Knowing how winter is often dark and dreary, I hope that listening to these songs will spark the same happiness in you as they do in me. 1. Tell Him- The Exciters, 1962: I love the energy of this song. The lyrics don't hold up in 2021, but a song is much more than its lyrics. 2. Doodlin'- Baby Washington, 1963: Baby Washington is a lesser-known singer, so this might be the first time you listen. Please enjoy. It feels good. 3. Spanish Harlem- Ben E. King, 1960: My struggle with relaxation is so strong that I believe relaxation might be a myth, but this song is the sound of relaxation. I love the groove, the instrumentation, and the saxophone solo. It gives me chills and sounds like a hug at the same time. 4. You've Really Got a Hold On Me- Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, 1962: From the opening piano riff to the fade out, this song is a perfect example of why Motown was so popular in the 1960s. It is soulful and sensual, and it feels good to listen to. Pro Tip: if someone treats you badly, please don't love them madly. Self respect. 5. Blue Moon- The Marcels, 1961: Doo-wop feels good. Enjoy it. 6. Goody Goody- Frankie Lymon, 1958: Who doesn't love a little bit of spite now and then? Frankie Lymon really sticks it to 'em in "Goody Goody." This song is inspiring, empowering, uplifting, and just a lot of fun. Especially for those who identify with its message. 7. Keep a Knockin- Little Richard, 1957: Little Richard's energy is so intense that he can hardly contain himself. And that energy has been contagious for the last 64 years. 8. Think- Aretha Franklin, 1968: Similar to "Goody Goody," "Think" has an empowering message with inspiring energy. Aretha Franklin has a special place in Black History Month, because she toured with Martin Luther King, Jr. and sang at his funeral. 9. He's a Rebel- the Crystals, 1962: In the early 1960s, girl groups like the Crystals dominated American pop music charts. "He's a Rebel" is one of my favorite girl group songs. It feels good and makes me happy. 10. Be My Baby- The Ronettes, 1963: I love this song from start to finish. Starting with a heartbeat rhythm that returns throughout the song, "Be My Baby" musically harnesses the feeling of new love. 11. What a Lovely Day- Ella Fitzgerald, 1958: If you struggle with starting your day, try listening to this when you wake up. It's a lovely way to turn a regular day into a lovely day. Plus- listen to the lyrics. They're refreshingly reasonable. 12. Do You Know the Way to San Jose- Dionne Warwick, 1968: I have always loved this song. The instrumentation feels good. The lyrics are somewhat different from the average pop song. February is Black History Month! To celebrate, we wanted to highlight some of the black artists in our own city. Four of Hearts is by Iris Kirkwood and is part of a series of large cards made by the artist. With these cards, Iris re-interprets familiar myths and symbols.

Call our Empowerment Academy today at (716) 884-5216 x 498 Peer-Spective: The Hows and Whys of Self-Care Article by Amarilys G. There is no one way to self-care. What works for one person is not likely to work for another. At the same time, we can probably all agree that self-care is important. Therefore, it's important for people to find out what means of self-care work for them. 30 minutes in the gym might sound like bliss to one person and pure torture to the next. 3 hours curled up with a book? One person might get lost in the story while another person puts the book down after 3 minutes in boredom. One other thing to keep in mind about self-care is that it should not (cannot) be harmful. While eating a gallon of ice cream or 20 tacos might sound like a great end to a bad day, it may be a decision you come to regret a day or two later. There are different types of self-care. The number of types vary depending on what site / source you use. As a recovering academic, I went with Bustle. Their 8 categories of self-care align perfectly with the 8 dimensions of wellness: physical, intellectual, professional, financial, spiritual, social, environmental, and emotional. Am I going to define each type and provide an example for each one? No. Am I going to be a good researcher and a lazy human and provide the link to the article I am talking about so you can read it. Yup: https://www.bustle.com/wellness/types-of-self-care- how-to-practice-experts You do not necessarily need at least one form of self-care for each type, although the above article defines them so broadly you might be checking off boxes you did not expect to check off. Take Spiritual for instance. I thought for sure I'd keep that box unchecked, but the article included helping others in its discussion of this type so yup, box checked. If you're the organized, likes-to-plan type, google "self care plan template" and you should find some format that works for you.

  • Fear of the American Teenager
    FEAR OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION What made the teenager a source of anxiety during the 1950s? OVERVIEW After World War II, America experienced unparalleled growth and prosperity. The children born during the early years of the postwar “baby boom” were becoming teenagers by the late 1950s. Because of the burgeoning economy, many middle-class teens had more leisure time and more spending power than previous generations of young people. As examined in the Birth of American Teenager lesson, teenagers of the 1950s began exerting a growing influence on American life and commerce. But the rapid rise of this growing demographic also unleashed a wave of anxiety among adults. It was a fear both real and imagined. The number of crimes committed by teenagers was, in fact, rising throughout the nation. But there was also a level of intense anxiety that seemed unwarranted concerning the new power of the emerging teen demographic. Teenagers seemed to be challenging the social fabric of America. Many questioned, and even blamed, movies, comic books, and Rock and Roll for its influence on the rising misbehavior of youth. According to a lengthy report on juvenile delinquency in the 1955 Saturday Evening Post, crime committed by teenagers increased by a drastic 45% between 1950 and 1955. There were more extreme cases of teenage violence as well, like that of Charlie Starkweather, a white teenager from a working class family in Lincoln, Nebraska. When Starkweather went on a two-month murder spree in 1958, killing eleven people in the Midwest, his gruesome actions challenged the notion that teenage crime was relegated to poor, urban areas.

  • The Sock Hop and the Loft: Jazz, Motown, and the Transformation of American Culture, 1959-1975
    The Sock Hop and the Loft: Jazz, Motown, and the Transformation of American Culture, 1959-1975 The Commerce Group: Kat Breitbach, Laura Butterfield, Ashleigh Lalley, Charles Rosentel Steve Schwartz, Kelsey Snyder, Al Stith In the words of the prolific Peter Griffin, “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white. The only color that really matters is green.” Notwithstanding the music industry’s rampant racism, the clearest view of how African Americans transformed popular music between 1959 and 1975 is through the lens of commerce. Scrutinizing the relationship between creators and consumers opens up a broad view of both visual and auditory arts. The sources we selected range from cover art and an Andy Warhol silkscreen to books on the industry’s backroom deals and the Billboard Hot 100 to a retrospective Boyz II Men album on Motown’s history and an NPR special on Jimi Hendrix for kids. Combining both sight and sound, we offer online videos, a documentary on jazz, and blaxploitation films. The unparalleled abilities of Motown’s music to transcend racial barriers and serve as a catalyst for social change through an ever-widening audience necessitates a study of Berry Gordy’s market sense and the legacy of his “family” in popular culture from the 1970s through today. First, the ubiquity of the Motown sound meant that a young, interracial audience enjoyed music that had been largely exclusive to black communities. The power of this “Sound of Young America” crossover was punctuated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s affirmation in his “Transforming a Neighborhood into a Brotherhood” address that radio’s capacity to bridge black and white youth through music and create “the language of soul” surpasses even Alexander the Great’s conquests.

  • Dion and the Teen Idols
    DION AND THE TEEN IDOLS OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION What role did the so-called “teen idols” of the late 1950s play in bringing Rock and Roll into mainstream American culture? OVERVIEW Rock and Roll evolved from Rhythm and Blues, a sound developed by African-American musicians that by the early 1950s had begun to reach a new audience among young white teenagers. By nature of its association with black America, there were those who feared that Rock and Roll was a corrupting influence on American youth, promoting socializing between races and juvenile delinquency. Music was not the only thing that disturbed those concerned about Rock and Roll’s influence. Films such as The Wild One (1953), featuring Marlon Brando as the leader of a motorcycle gang, seemed to suggest that teenagers, if not given proper guidance, might fall in with the “wrong kind of crowd.” In an attempt to encourage “good citizenship,” Parent-Teacher Associations and superintendents across the country created codes of conduct for their pupils to monitor school attire, curfew hours, and social behavior both on and off campus. Rock and Roll, and the culture around it, were viewed as something to control. Concurrently, pioneer jockey Alan Freed, the man who first attached the term “Rock and Roll” to the latest R&B recordings, was encountering troubles of his own. In August 1957, Freed’s ABC teen dance show Big Beat was cancelled after African-American artist Frankie Lymon was seen dancing with a white girl on the program, an image that outraged the network’s southern affiliates.

  • Chapter 2: Pop-Rock of the 50S and 60S
    The Development of Rock & Roll by Dr. Daniel Jacobson © 2016 All Rights Reserved CHAPTER 2 POP-ROCK OF THE 50S AND 60S INTRODUCTION Softer “pop” music styles have played important roles in the development of rock, especially from c1953 to 1966 and in the early 70s. Various pop-related styles in the 50s and early 60s include: • Doo-Wop (1950s and early ‘60s; combined Pop, Gospel and soft R & B elements) • Teen Idol “Crooners” (late ‘50s/early ‘60s; Dick Clark early rock era; soft R & B) • Surf Music (late ‘50s/early ‘60s) • Brill Building/Aldon Music (‘60s pop; extension of “Tin Pan Alley” tradition) • Early Motown (early 1960s; “Soul-pop” music) I. THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD IN 50s ROCK During the years 1957 to 1961, Rock & Roll lost the impact of at least ten of its most prominent trendsetters. • March 1956: While on his way to perform for The Perry Como Show in New York City, Carl Perkins was involved in a car crash in which he suffered a fractured shoulder and skull. Perkins lost his chance for major fame, and was soon overshadowed by the rise of Elvis Presley. • October 1957: Little Richard renounced Rock and Roll for the ministry of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. • November 1957: Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old third cousin (while “forgetting” to divorce his first wife.) The scandal that followed destroyed his career. • March 1958: Elvis Presley was drafted into the army, serving in Germany until 1960. • February 1959: a small-plane crash near Fargo, North Dakota killed Buddy Holly, J.P.

  • The Musical Roots of Doo Wop
    THE MUSICAL ROOTS OF DOO WOP OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did Doo Wop develop as a musical genre? OVERVIEW From the beginning, Doo Wop music had what today might be called a DIY or “Do It Yourself” character: it could be performed nearly anywhere — without the need for expensive equipment or special technology — at almost any time by anyone with some singing ability. Years before gaming consoles and cable TV, harmonizing on the street corner or front stoop was an enjoyable way to pass the time, particularly for residents of poorer neighborhoods for whom other forms of entertainment may have been prohibitively expensive. Musical instruments, after all, cost money. Singers replaced backing bands with their voices, supplying full harmonies and even mimicking the sounds of instruments. When Doo Wop emerged as a musical phenomenon in the 1950s, this kind of group singing became part of American popular culture on a bigger scale. Amateur or semi-professional groups were taken off the streets in neighborhoods like Harlem in New York City and put into recording studios. White groups began imitating black groups, and the sounds of Doo Wop were everywhere by the middle of the decade. Doo Wop’s musical and social roots point to a long history of vocal harmony in American culture, particularly in African-American communities. Social singing provided entertainment in barbershops, bars, schools, churches, theaters, and other communal spaces. Some of the musical precedents students will consider in this lesson include the barbershop quartets that flourished from the 1890s through World War I; the Pop vocal groups such as the Mills Brothers that topped the charts in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s; and the Gospel singers who made harmonizing a spiritual practice throughout the early twentieth century.
