Press Release Joye Griffin Toni Thompson UNCF Toni Thompson PR 703-205-3480 Office (310) 702-0926 703-483-5398 Mobile [email protected] [email protected] Press Release UNCF CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF AN EVENING OF STARS ® UNCF SALUTES PATTI LABELLE WITH ITS HIGHEST HONOR FAIRFAX, Va. (July 21, 2008) – UNCF–the United Negro College Fund– celebrates its 30 th Anniversary with a salute to Patti LaBelle. The soulful songbird from Philadelphia, who has earned her rightful place among rhythm and blues royalty, will be honored by UNCF, the nation’s largest minority higher education assistance organization, on its 30 th annual television special An Evening of Stars ® (AEOS) presented by Target. The two-hour tribute will honor LaBelle before a live audience at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on September 13, 2008 and will be televised nationwide in January 2009. The Grammy-winning R&B/soul singer will receive UNCF’s prestigious Award of Excellence in recognition of her distinguished career as an artist and performer and for her longstanding support of UNCF. Previous AEOS Award of Excellence honorees include Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, Steve Wonder, Quincy Jones and Lou Rawls. “Throughout her career, from the first notes she sang in her church choir through her four decades as a renowned vocalist, Patti LaBelle has exemplified the dedication to excellence that UNCF honors and supports,” said Michael L. Lomax, president and CEO of UNCF. “Through her best-selling books and the numerous businesses she has started and seen through to success and, most of all, through her generous support of UNCF and many other charities, Patti embodies the spirit of UNCF’s iconic motto, ‘A mind is a terrible thing to waste. ®’” A music industry icon, LaBelle birthed and developed a new era of women’s music, and in the process has influenced a new generation of female singers. Known for her strong vocals, her signature high-octave vocal belting and a range considered to be one of the highest in music, she is recognized as one of the country’s greatest female vocalists. (More) Although she is widely known for classic ballads such as the duet “On My Own” with Michael McDonald, “If Only You Knew,” “I Believe I Can Fly”, “You are My Friend” and “If You Asked Me To,” she continues to influence current artists such as Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliot, Pink, Mya and Lil’ Kim, who paid homage to the soulful diva with a hip-hop-infused rendition of her 1973 hit, “Lady Marmalade,” for the Academy Award-winning musical Moulin Rouge. In June of this year, LaBelle released The Essential Patti LaBelle and Live in Washington DC , a previously unreleased concert recorded in 1982. Her studio album, Miss Patti’s Christmas was released in 2007, and she was also showcased on VH1’s popular Divas special, accompanied by superstar talents Jessica Simpson, Cyndi Lauper and Gladys Knight. Between recording and touring, she tapes her TV One show, “Living It Up with Patti LaBelle”, and managed to fit in a role in the film Idlewild. She also starred in her own sitcom series , Out All Night . LaBelle is also the author of four best-selling books: Don’t Block the Blessings , LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About , Patti’s Pearls and Patti LaBelle’s Lite Cuisine . The list of accolades and awards Patti LaBelle has received is long and illustrious. She has won two Grammy Awards, seven NAACP Image Awards, two American Music Awards, a Cable Ace Award and received three Emmy ® Award nominations. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 1997, she received a Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award. LaBelle’s work as a humanitarian is as legendary as her entertainment career. Over the years, she has been a frequent performer on An Evening of Stars ® and is an advocate for adoption, foster care, Big Sisters, the American Diabetes Association and numerous other charities. Returning for his twelfth year as executive producer and director of An Evening of Stars ® is five- time Emmy ® winner Louis J. Horvitz, whose credits include numerous years directing the Academy Awards, Daytime Emmy ® Awards, Kennedy Center Honors and Primetime Emmy ® Awards. He has also directed the MTV Movie Awards as well as the American Film Institute (AFI) tributes to Robert DeNiro (2003), Meryl Streep (2004), George Lucas (2005), Sean Connery (2006), Al Pacino (2007), and Warren Beatty (2008).

  • Blues Poetry As a Celebration of African American Folk Art
    ABSTRACT RUTTER, EMILY R. Blues-Inspired Poetry: Jean Toomer, Sterling Brown and the BLKARTSOUTH Collective. (Under the direction of Professor Thomas Lisk). Adopting the blues to lyric poetry marks an implicit rejection of the conventions of the Anglo-American literary establishment, and asserts that African American folk traditions are an equally valuable source of poetic inspiration. During the Harlem Renaissance, Jean Toomer’s Cane (1923) exemplified the incorporation of African American folk forms such as the blues with conventional English poetics. His contemporary Sterling Brown similarly created hybrid forms in Southern Road (1932) that combined African American oral and aural traditions with Anglo-American ones. These texts suggest that blues music represents a complex and sophisticated lyrical form, and its thematic tropes poignantly express the history and contemporary realities of black Americans. In the late 1960s, members of New Orleans’s BLKARTSOUTH were influenced by African American musical traditions as a reflection of historical experience and lyrical expression, and their poetry emphasizes the importance of the blues. Led by Kalamu Ya Salaam and Tom Dent, these poets were part of the Black Arts Movement whose political objectives emphasized a separation from the conventions of the Anglo-American literary establishment, and their work suggests a rejection of traditional English poetics. Although they did not openly acknowledge their literary debt to Toomer and Brown, Cane and Southern Road laid the lyrical foundation for the blues-inspired poetry of Salaam, Dent and their colleagues. What unites these generations of poets is their adoption of the blues theme of resilience in response to the social, political and cultural issues of their eras.

    An Excursion into the Lower Depths: Hollywood, Urban Primitivism, and St. Louis Blues, 1929-1937 Peter Stanfield Cinema Journal, 41, Number 2, Winter 2002, pp. 84-108 (Article) Published by University of Texas Press DOI: 10.1353/cj.2002.0004 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/cj/summary/v041/41.2stanfield.html Access Provided by Amherst College at 09/03/11 7:59PM GMT An Excursion into the Lower Depths: Hollywood, Urban Primitivism, and St. Louis Blues, 1929–1937 by Peter Stanfield This essay considers how Hollywood presented the song St. Louis Blues in a num- ber of movies during the early to mid-1930s. It argues that the tune’s history and accumulated use in films enabled Hollywood to employ it in an increasingly com- plex manner to evoke essential questions about female sexuality, class, and race. Recent critical writing on American cinema has focused attention on the struc- tures of racial coding of gender and on the ways in which moral transgressions are routinely characterized as “black.” As Eric Lott points out in his analysis of race and film noir: “Raced metaphors in popular life are as indispensable and invisible as the colored bodies who give rise to and move in the shadows of those usages.” Lott aims to “enlarge the frame” of work conducted by Toni Morrison and Ken- neth Warren on how “racial tropes and the presence of African Americans have shaped the sense and structure of American cultural products that seem to have nothing to do with race.”1 Specifically, Lott builds on Manthia D iawara’s argument that “film is noir if it puts into play light and dark in order to exhibit a people who become ‘black’ because of their ‘shady’ moral behaviour.2 E.

  • ENG 229: the Black Vernacular FSLT Field-Of-Study Proposal
    ENG 229: The Black Vernacular FSLT Field-of-Study Proposal Proposed field of study. Literary Studies Course number. English 229 Course title. The Black Vernacular Catalog description. Introduction to black vernacular oral and written art. Investigation of the black vernacular tradition in the wider context of American culture. Prerequisites. English 103 with a grade of C or better or exemption. Credit. 1 unit. Estimate of student enrollment. 25 By whom and when course will be offered. Bertram Ashe, once every other year. Staffing implications. None Adequacy of resources. Existing library and technological resources are adequate. Interdepartmental and interschool implications. None. Contact person. Louis Tremaine FSLT. This course meets the criteria of the FSLT requirement in several ways. While “concerning itself with verbal texts read as structures of meaning,” it greatly extends students’ idea of what counts as a “verbal text” and their understanding of how one’s reading practices shift in moving from one kind of text to another. By the nature of the material it necessarily exposes students to the methods and perspectives of formalist criticism, genre criticism, and critical race studies. The works studied in the course are placed squarely in relation to their historical and cultural contexts. Students are required to produce close textual analysis in writing in amounts consistent with our other 200-level FSLT courses. A syllabus is attached. Bertram D. Ashe American Studies Program University of Richmond Fall, 2007 The Black Vernacular “In African American literature, the vernacular refers to the church songs, blues, ballads, sermons, stories, and, in our own era, rap songs that are part of the oral, not primarily the literate (or written down) tradition of black expression.

And it was a chance to show a record JMU Stadium Parents Day crowd of 16,030, which included more than 80 recruits, what the JMU football team could do.
