| Notes: |
Credits: |
A wonderful 30 minutes with Gil Scot Heron recorded in Central Park New York City in the summer of 1994. Heron tells wonderful stories about growing up in Tennessee, his heros, growing up Black in America in the 50's and 60's, he dedicates a song to and inspired by Fannie Lou Hamer and performs his classic anthem Winter in America.
Big Mama Thornton was invited to the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1971 to perform a fantastic set at the age of 45.
She was also a self taught drummer and harmonica player and you can hear her harmonica work on this recording.
Big Mama Thornton's version of Hound Dog was a number 1 on the Billboard chart for 7 week's in 1953 and the single sold almost 2 million.
Big Mama Thornton never saw any of the money generated by record sales but her talent is true and wonderfully documented in this live performance.
Woody Allen was asked in 1995 why he doesn't have blacks or any other ethnic minorities in any of his films... This question was posed to Allen while on his press junket for his then new film The Might Aphrodite. |
