This book is finally coming out in April. Some Black American country music history:

Alice Randall, award-winning professor, songwriter, and author with a “lively, engaging, and often wise” (The New York Times Book Review) voice, offers a lyrical, introspective, and unforgettable account of her past and her search for the first family of Black country music. Country music had brought Randall and her activist mother together and even gave Randall a singular distinction in American music history: she is the first Black woman to cowrite a number one country hit, Trisha Yearwood’s “XXX’s and OOO’s”. Randall found inspiration and comfort in the sounds and history of the first family of Black country music: DeFord Bailey, Lil Hardin, Ray Charles, Charley Pride, and Herb Jeffries who, together, made up a community of Black Americans rising through hard times to create simple beauty, true joy, and sometimes profound eccentricity. What emerges in My Black Country is a celebration of the most American of music genres and the radical joy in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture. As country music goes through a fresh renaissance today, with a new wave of Black artists enjoying success, My Black Country is the perfect gift for longtime country fans and a vibrant introduction to a new generation of listeners who previously were not invited to give the genre a chance.

On 15 March 1955, Ella Fitzgerald was the main attraction at the star studded Mocambo nightclub in Los Angeles. A popular anecdote, fuelled by Ella’s own inconsistent recollections, suggests that Marilyn Monroe played a pivotal role in securing this gig for her. Reflecting on this, Ella remarked, “‘I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt... She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night.”

Ella maintained that Marilyn kept her promise, though the truth diverges from the real events. Indeed, Marilyn had contacted Charlie Morrison about his rejection of Ella. She had also floated the idea of throwing a party for Ella should she ever headline at Mocambo. However, during Ella’s two-week stint in LA, Marilyn was in New York. This discrepancy is highlighted in a typed memo from 15 February 1955, bearing the letterhead of Inez Melson, Marilyn’s business manager, titled “Memo of conversation with Jo Brooks.” Brooks, married to Julies Fox who managed publicity for Ella Fitzgerald, recounted a past incident. “A few months back, Miss Monroe visited the Tiffany Club on West 8th Street where Ella Fitzgerald was playing. Miss Fitzgerald talked of a possible future date at the Mocambo, and Miss Monroe expressed interest in hosting a party for Miss Fitzgerald,” the memo reads. It clarifies that Marilyn’s intentions were genuine, though her involvement in Ella’s Mocambo booking was overstated by Fitzgerald to the press.

Photographs capturing Marilyn and Ella together date back to 1954, taken at the Tiffany Club, with no documented instances of Marilyn attending Ella’s Mocambo performances.

Furthermore, the assumption that Ella’s initial rejection from Mocambo was racially motivated is false. Historical records show that Mocambo welcomed several black artists before Fitzgerald, including Herb Jeffries, Dorothy Dandridge, and Eartha Kitt, debunking the myth of racial exclusion as the reason for any initial reluctance to book Fitzgerald.

This version is performed by Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra, featuring the listed singer Herb Jeffries, therefore it should be very similar to the original performance from while the show was running.

Felicia Jeffries, founder and CEO of Moore Financial Services and the Biz Credit Movement, and her team have been busy helping entrepreneurs build their businesses and their business credit. She was crowned Miss Female Entrepreneur International in August 2022, but not without going through a trial that would test her very ability to stay alive. Felicia recalls the situation that led to her being on life support in June 2022. “During the pandemic, I did my best to take care of myself by taking my herbs and medicine, but I ended up slacking on taking my herbs and contracted COVID. People with autoimmune issues are not supposed to get sick. I felt my system shutting down part by part until I couldn’t breathe. My chest felt like it had 50 pounds of pressure on it, and I remember wishing this experience on no one. I was blessed to be released on July 4th. That was my Independence Day,” she states. “I received the crown as Miss Woman Entrepreneur International 2022.” Felicia’s message is simple, “Take care of your health. Advocate for yourself because you know your body better than anyone. Entrepreneurs have added stress; they must maintain a healthy business. It is kind of difficult to do that when you have health issues, even though it’s possible.” Follow Us @supportbuyingblackdao For Black Owned Business Highlights & Tutorials On Marketing Your Business Online.

Otis Joseph René Jr. (October 2, 1898 – April 5, 1970) was a songwriter and record, label owner. As a songwriter, he is notable as the co-author of "When It's Sleepy Time Down South", which became a signature song for Louis Armstrong. Other songs co-written by Him include "Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat", included by Murray Head on his album Say It Ain't So, and "That's My Home", included by Tony Bennett on his album, A Wonderful World. With his brother, Leon René, he established and ran the independent rhythm and blues label Exclusive Records and Excelsior Records. He was responsible for and publicly identified with Excelsior Records, while his brother Leon was identified with Exclusive Records. He was noted to have earned $25,000 on one song, "I'm Lost", recorded by the King Cole Trio. He had written and produced the song, as well as distributed the record. He was elected president of the newly established Pacific Coast Record Manufacturers' Association. In support of their record labels, he and Leon René purchased their record plant, but when the format changed from 78 rpm to 45rpm, they could not press the new speed. His Excelsior label existed from 1944 to 1951. His brother Leon's Exclusive Records existed from 1944 to 1950. Artists on his label included Herb Jeffries, Timmie Rogers, and the Al Russell Trio. With saxophonist Preston Love, he launched the short-lived Spin Records.

In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, that’s difficult.  1939 film:  Harlem Rides the Range (1939) Release date:  Feb. 1, 1939 Cast:  Herb…

“Herb Jeffries (1913-2014), a jazz balladeer whose matinee-idol looks won him fame in the late 1930s as the 'Bronze Buckaroo' — was the first singing star of all-black cowboy movies for segregated audiences. The jazz baritone had a seven-decade career, including singing with Duke Ellington’s Band. “
