| A Fool In Love-Marie Adams-'58-Capitol 4108Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:07:13 -0800 by 5121949Marie Adams©2002JCMarionO llie Marie Givens was born in Linden, Texas, in October of 1925. Her musical imagination was fired up in her early teens by that wellspring of talent in the R & B years, the Black church. By 1951 she was in Houston looking for a way to break into the business. She gravitated naturally to the center of the Texas blues world, the Bronze Peacock Club and its owner Don Robey. He was impressed enough by her ability that she caught on and occasionally appeared on stage as a supporting act. She was part of a big two week holiday show at the end of 1951 in Houston with Willie Mae Thornton, Jimmy McCracklin & The Blues Blasters, and Billy Wright. She was being billed then as Ollie Marie Adams. By April she had dropped the Ollie and was simply Marie, and was touted by Peacock Records and Don Robey as a second "big Mama" and had her first record release for the label with "I'm Gonna Play The Honky Tonks" and "My Search Is Over" with the Bill harvey band on #1583. "Search" does well in the Texas and Louisiana areas and Peacock decides to go to releasing it on 45 rpm to increase sales potential. Soon all Peacock recordings follow suit.In mid May of 1952, the flip side of Adams record "Honky Tonks" suddenly starts to sell big in the Northeast, especially in Philadelphia where it is one of the top five best selling R & B discs in the city. The next month "Search" is the number one R & B record in Peacock's home city of Houston. By August the record had become the biggest non-gospel seller in the history of the label. Because of the continued demand for the record and the emergence of Johnny Ace for the label's new subsidiary company, Duke Records (recently purchased in Memphis and moved to Houston), three record pressing plants are working 24 hours a day to keep up with sales orders. Don Robey's labels are fast becoming major players in the Rhythm & Blues field. With her first record still selling well, Peacock releases "My Man" and "Alone" on #1604 recorded with the band of Puma Davis.In early August "I'm Gonna Play The Honky Tonks" hits the best seller lists in New York. That month in an unusual move, Don Robey has Marie record a cover version of Johnny Ace's current hit for the company, "My Song". Robey hopes to market the Adams version more toward the pop music audience. The flip side of "My Song" is "Sweet Talking Daddy" both recorded with a small combo of members of the Buddy Johnson band under the leadership of Cherokee Conyers, and it is out on Peacock #1610. In late 1952 Marie Adams is part of a hugely successful R & B package show that tours the West Coast. Along with Adams are Johnny Ace, James Moody and his band, famous for "Moody's Mood For Love", , and Jimmy Forrest and his combo, famous for "Night Train". After the tour ended she stayed out west and played many dates into early 1953. Related: r&b soul | |

| Hmong Beauty Pagaent 08-09.AVIMon, 01 Dec 2008 14:02:04 -0800 by alwaseshengREAD!Contestants: Ntxhais Vaj, Rose Vue, My Tzer Lao, Vab Vwj, Cathy Thao, Pahoua Chue, Teng Thao, & Elise Vue [Total = 8 contestants]OMFG... seriously... i think this years' Hmong Beauty Pagaentis totally UNFAIR!i mean seriously... idk how many ppl agrees with me but i was so angryim just gonna have to throw this out there now..WTF is wrong with the judges???i SWEAR the 2 other women that got 2nd & 3rdplace r UGLY! [not to be mean, but since the name of the contest is called "HMONG BEAUTY PAGAENT" or "MISS HMONG LADY OF SACRAMENTO/CALIFORNI A" something like that....anyways... WTF r the judges looking for inthe women that participates in the competition?BEAUTY? SMARTNESS? WTF????!?!?!?! isnt the main pointof the contest was to look for someone thatwill "CHANGE" the Hmong Communities into a better one?therefore, they have to choose the one that is "SMART"not the one that is "PRETTY" [even if the first place winner has to be pretty too, of course she has to be smart too.. DUH!]i mean i am not mad about the first place winner of this yr. which is Maiv Ntxawm Lauj but the other 2 contestants that got 2nd & 3rd place... their response to the freaking questions theygot from the judges wasnt even good and doesnt even answer the question! even if Cathy Thao didn't get to be first place and be Miss Hmong of California.. i am still supporting her... i think CATHY THAO should of have won 2nd place instead of those other two ladies. Don't think i am biased! because those of who that knows cathy, she is the best person ever! everything she has done in the past including her high school yrs. have proven to me that she should get 1st place... but w/e.GOSH i wanna say a hella LOT more but forget it no one will understand...[THIS IS ALL MY OPINION] Related: cal expo new years hmong beauty pagaent people | |

| Delta Rhythm Boys - Oo wee BabyMon, 01 Dec 2008 13:58:02 -0800 by kr103Radiotjänst master RTJ 4706-MA [renumbered MR 352-A for Metronome], rec. Stockholm, 20 May 1952Carl Jones (tenor), Kelsey Pharr (tenor), Travesse Crawford (baritone), Lee Gaines (bass) with the Metronome All Stars.As many other musicians at the time, the Delta Rhythm Boys left the USA for in the 1950s, fed up with daily discrimination. They settled in Scandinavia for some time, where they were welcomed with open arms, and continued to record excellent sides for several Danish and Swedish companies. This one has the boys singing in their native language - several sides sung in Swedish are better than Louis Armstrong's attempt at German, but still quite, well, entertaining ...
