Title: Talk To Me Texas
Description: BCB Band sings Talk To Me Texas by Keith Whitley. Jessie Keith Whitley was born July 1, 1955, in Sandy Hook, Ky. Learning to play guitar at age 6, he appeared on Buddy Starcher's regional TV show at age 8 and formed a bluegrass band with his friend Ricky Skaggs a few years later. When they were 15, Skaggs and Whitley were asked to play a local show when Ralph Stanley's entourage was running late. When Stanley heard them, he hired them for his band. They stayed for two summers until Whitley went to work for Carl Jackson in 1972. By 1974, he was back with Stanley, this time singing lead vocals. By then, Whitley had already survived a car crash (at 120 mph) and driving a car off a cliff into a river. In 1978, he joined J.D. Crowe and the New South but finally chased a career in country music, which had always been closer to his heart. RCA issued a single, "Turn Me to Love" in 1984 with Patty Loveless singing harmony. At that time, Whitley's excessive drinking made him unreliable, but it did give him a hardened, honky-tonk voice, and he then only needed the right song. In 1986, he married rising star Lorrie Morgan and cracked the Top 20 for the first time with "Miami, My Amy." After three Top 10 singles ("Ten Feet Away," "Homecoming '63" and "Hard Livin'"), Whitley finally reached No. 1 in 1988 with "Don't Close Your Eyes." He continued his streak with "When You Say Nothing at All" and "I'm No Stranger to the Rain." But in the midst of his newfound success, he died from alcohol poisoning at his home on May 8, 1989. Nevertheless, Whitley's music remained in the spotlight for several years beyond that. His next two singles reached No. 1, and a duet with Morgan peaked at No. 13 in 1990. "Brotherly Love," a duet with Earl Thomas Conley, reached No. 2 in 1991. Morgan organized Keith Whitley - A Tribute Album in 1994 which included several previously unreleased Whitley tracks. Released as an unlikely single, Alison Krauss & Union Station's version of "When You Say Nothing at All" surprisingly reached No. 3 on the country charts, introducing Krauss -- and Whitley -- to listeners who had only discovered country music in the early 1990s. The song has since become a wedding standard.

Title: Mel Street ~ Lovin' On Back Streets
Description: Occasionally a singer will come along that you don't fully appreciate until their gone. Such is the case with Mel Street. Mel came to prominence in 1972 with two top-10 songs, Borrowed Angel and Lovin on Back Street. He moved to Nashville from West Virginia to take his place in the country arena. However, Street grew restless and unhappy despite his moderate success. Unfortunately, on his 43rd birthday in 1978, he took his own life. Mel Street was born on October 21, 1933, in Grundy, Virginia. He started entertaining on local radio in the early-50s. Although his primary interest was music, he owned and operated a automobile paint and body shop. As his singing developed and expanded, he acquired his own TV program in Bluefield, West Virginia called Country Showcase. Meanwhile, he continued working local clubs and honing his skills. After he moved to Nashville from West Virginia, Mel had material released on a few tiny labels in the early-'70s. Borrowed Angel, was the first record to put Mel in the top-10. The self penned song was released on Royal American Records. Further chart activity generated from a series of label associations during the mid-'70s. Those were Metromedia (1972-73), GRT (1974-77), Polydor (1977-78) and Mercury (1978). Street also had material issued on Sunbird. His association with these companies allowed him to work with several leading producers, including Joe Deaton, Nelson Larkin, Dick Heard, Jim Vienneau and Jim Prater. Throughout his recording career, Mel had a string of songs in the top-40. Lovin' on Back Streets and Walk Softly on the Bridges, were released on Metromedia and Forbidden Angel, Smokie Mountain Memories and I Met a Friend of Your's Today, were released on GRT. Smokie Mountain Memories was written by Earl Thomas Conley. Street had moderate success with Polydor in the late-'70s. His albums Mel Street (1977) and Country Soul (1978), generated the singles; Barbara Don't Let Me be the Last to Know, written by Bob McDill and Wayland Holyfield, Let the Phone just Keep on Ringing and Shady Rest, both Bob McDill compositions. Mel's final top-10 entitled, If I Had a Cheating Heart, was written by Wayland Holyfield. Mel had other moderate releases that included, Lovin' on Borrowed Time (Metromedia), You Make me Feel More Like a Man (GRT) and Even if I Have to Steal (GRT). Street's best effort for Sunbird Records was Tonight Let's Sleep On It. Mel sang the title song of Dusty's Trail, a major syndicated TV show that debuted in the fall of 1973. It was his first national TV exposure and it broadened his already spiraling career in the entertainment field. Street planned and recorded an album during the summer of 1978. It was scheduled for release in November that year, but tragically, he died on October 21. Mel, apparently despondent over career and personal problems, took his own life at his Hendersonville, Tennessee home on his 45th birthday. His Mercury Records album called Mel Street was released posthumously in 1978. Mel's material is extremely difficult to find and little has been issued on compact disc (CD) . However, Deluxe Records released a CD comprising most of his biggest singles. Entitled Mel Street -- Greatest Hits, it contains 20 sides, including Borrowed Angel, Town Where You Live, I've Hurt Her More (Than She Loves Me), Lust Affair, I Met a Friend of Yours Today, Big Blue Diamond, Smokey Mountain Memories, Even If I Have to Steal, You Make Me Feel More Like a Man and Lovin' on Back Streets. Somewhere between the greed for money and sound judgment, the legends of country music were tossed aside for the outlandish sound they call country music today. RJB Nashville, Tennessee

Title: Isaac Hayes scores Shaft film - Café Reggio & Shaft Theme 1971
Description: Isaac Hayes was born in Covington, Tennessee in 1942, the second-born child of Isaac Sr. and Eula Hayes, but after their deaths was raised by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Wade, Sr. The child of a poor family, he grew up picking cotton in Covington. He dropped out of high school, only to be encouraged later by his former high school teachers at Manassas High to get his diploma. He earned his diploma at the age of 21. He began singing at the age of five at his local church, and, soon after, he taught himself how to play the piano, electronic organ, flute, and saxophone. In early 1971, Hayes composed music for the soundtrack of the blaxploitation film Shaft. (in the movie, he also appeared in a cameo role as the bartender of No Name Bar). The title theme, with its wah-wah guitar and multi-layered symphonic arrangement, would become a worldwide hit single, and spent two weeks at number one in the Billboard Hot 100 in November. The remainder of the album was mostly instrumentals covering big beat jazz, bluesy funk, and hard Stax-styled soul. The other two vocal songs, the social commentary "Soulville" and the nineteen-minute jam "Do Your Thing," would be edited down to hit singles. Hayes won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the Theme from Shaft, and was nominated for Best Original Dramatic Score for the film's score. More on Shaft the movie: Shaft is a 1971 American film directed by Gordon Parks and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. An action film with elements of film noir, Shaft tells the story of a black private detective, John Shaft, who travels through Harlem and to the Italian mob in order to find the missing daughter of a black mobster. It stars Richard Roundtree as Shaft, Moses Gunn as Bumpy Jonas, Charles Cioffi as Lt. Vic Androzzi, Christopher St. John as Ben Buford, and Gwenn Mitchell and Lawrence Pressman in smaller roles. The movie was adapted by Ernest Tidyman and John D. F. Black from Tidyman's 1971 novel of the same name. The movie is widely considered a prime example of the blaxploitation genre. The Shaft soundtrack album, recorded by Isaac Hayes, was also a success, with the "Theme from Shaft" winning the 1972 Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2000, Shaft was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Tagline The mob wanted Harlem back. They got Shaft...up to here. Production for Shaft the movie According to Melvin Van Peebles, the original production was of a white detective story, but after the success of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971), the original script was scrapped in favor of an adaptation of Ernest Tidyman's 1970 novel Shaft, which focused on an African-American detective. Tidyman, who was white, was an editor at The New York Times prior to becoming a novelist. He sold the movie rights to Shaft by showing the galley proofs to the studio (the novel had not yet been published). Tidyman was honored by the NAACP for his work on the Shaft movies and books. Box office and Academy Awards The film was a surprising and runaway box-office success, grossing $12 million, with a budget of only $1,125,000. Isaac Hayes won an Academy Award for Best Music, Song for "Theme from Shaft". Hayes was also nominated for Best Music, Original Dramatic Score. Sequels Two sequels were made: Shaft's Big Score in 1972, and Shaft in Africa in 1973. These were followed by a series of TV movies starring Roundtree as Shaft on CBS during the 1973-1974 TV season. In 2000, a sequel was made featuring Samuel L. Jackson in the title role (see Shaft (2000 film)). Jackson plays the nephew of Richard Roundtree's character; Roundtree returns as John Shaft, still a private eye, trying to get his nephew to join him.
