If nobody gets back to you with a more direct contact, Michael Gray, editor at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville can probably point you in the right direction. He has his foot in both camps, working for a country music organisation obviously but also a lover of local R&B / soul. Authors Colin Prescott and Peter Guralnik may also be approachable? I'd imagine they'll have connections given their history and through the recent book on Sun they worked on.

This Bell Still Rings. My Life of Defiance and Song - an autobiography by Barbara Dane in stock . Order details below. "Barbara Dane is someone who is willing to follow her conscience. She is, if the term must be used, a hero."- Bob Dylan. The publisher's synopsis: The autobiography of a courageous singer-songwriter, activist, and American icon. A renowned folk, blues, and jazz singer who performed with some of the twentieth century's most celebrated musicians, from Louis Armstrong to Bob Dylan. A proud progressive who has tirelessly championed racial equality and economic justice in America, and who has traveled the world to sing out against war and tyranny. An organizer, a venue owner, a record label founder, and a woman who has charted her own creative and political path for more than ninety years. Barbara Dane has led an epic, trailblazing life in music and activism, and This Bell Still Rings tells her story in her own adventurous voice. Dane's memoir charts her trajectory from singing in union halls and at factory gates in World War II-era Detroit, to her rise as a respected blues and jazz singer, to her prominence as a folk musician frequently performing at and participating in civil rights and peace demonstrations across the US and abroad-from post-revolutionary Cuba to wartime Vietnam. This Bell Still Rings illuminates "one of the true unsung heroes of American music" (Boston Globe), and it offers a wealth of inspiration for artists, activists, and anyone seeking a life defined by courage and integrity (473 pages, hardback book).

Artist performance contracts for sale Long overdue, but I'm now sorting out the ton of performance contracts I have into keepers for the archives versus those to move on. Some are already earmarked for donation to various organisations (the Stax Foundation / Museum in Memphis as I did before is the most obvious, given the nature of the contracts). Re those left for sale (individually or as a job lot), I have the likes of ZZ Hill, Garnet Mimms, Roscoe Shelton, Clarence Carter, Solomon Burke, Kelly Brothers, Joe Simon, Otis Clay, Jimmy Hughes, Arthur Conley and many more. Virtually all US performance bookings 1966 to 1973, mainly via Phil Walden A&P, and the Paragon Agency, both out of Macon, Georgia. One or two UK ones from Global. The list provides artist, year, and venue. Because of the number of pages of some of the contracts its not practical to provide the images in a list. The easiest way to do this is if genuinely interested in specific items, PM me and I'll send pics. Some are single original contracts, others are original top copies plus (bonus!) office duplicates. The vast majority will be £10 per contract so very affordable for these unique pieces of soul music history. Exceptions are Garnet Mimms, Solomon Burke, Van Dykes at £20. Post extra, UK buyers only please, sorry.
