Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been more than 20 years since the story of the Ecclesia Athletic Association (EAA) captured national headlines. When 8-year-old Dana Broussard was beaten to death by the assumed cult, the story went national and was featured in various media outlets including The New York Times and, TIMEMagazine. The group's leader and founder, Eldrige Broussard, eventually made a now infamous appearance on Oprah. In the years that have passed since the national frenzy, none of the former child or adult members of the EAA have come forth with their story ... until now. David William Jackson Jr. grew up as a member of the EAA and his mother was one of the adults eventually convicted in the beating death of Dana. Today, David, better known as D.J.O.G. One, has achieved notable success in the music industry. A deejay and producer, David is presently the official deejay for the NBA's Portland Trailblazers - making him one of only two official NBA deejays. He is also an official representative of TOYOTA Scion and for Nike's Brand Jordan. David is also the only deejay from the Northwest to appear twice on BET's Rap City. In2006, ADIDAS created a limited edition tennis shoe in his name. In 2009, NIKE did the same with the exclusive O.G. One Air Force One. David's clients have included mega celebrities that range from NBA legend Michael Jordan to music stars such as Jay-Z, P. Diddy, Jamie Foxx, and a myriad of others. In The Man Behind The Music...David's only authorized biography, his complicated and inspirational life story is narrated in his own words - including never before shared details of what life was really like growing up under the leadership of Eldrige Broussard. David's story is one of perseverance and survival; from the EAA to his present status as a celebrated music figure and community activist- readers are certain to be inspired with the story of the man behind the music. The Man Behind The Music: The Life and Times of David William "O.G. One" Jackson is the seventh release from award-nominated author and activist Rochell D. Hart-better known as Ro Deezy. Ro Deezy's second book was nominated for an Oregon Book Award - the highest literary award available in that state. Ro Deezy is a frequent spoken word performer and has shared the stage with legends ranging from Nikki Giovanni to KRS-One and Dead Prez. Her spoken word performances have been solicited by agencies that range from Nike, The Urban League, The Spring Valley Domestic Violence Institute (NY) and Benet University (NC). Ro Deezy is also the recipient of a 2005award from civil rights legend Rosa Parks. Ro Deezy earned her B.A. in Psychology from Concordia University in her home town of Portland, OR where she continues to reside.

Book excerpt: For half a century, Michael Jackson’s music has been an indelible part of our cultural consciousness. Landmark albums such as Off the Wall and Thriller shattered records, broke racial barriers, amassed awards, and set a new standard for popular music. While his songs continue to be played in nearly every corner of the world, however, they have rarely been given serious critical attention. The first book dedicated solely to exploring his creative work, Man in the Music guides us through an unparalleled analysis of Jackson’s recordings, album by album, from his trailblazing work with Quincy Jones to his later collaborations with Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Rodney Jerkins. Drawing on rare archival material and on dozens of original interviews with the collaborators, engineers, producers, and songwriters who helped bring the artist’s music into the world, Jackson expert and acclaimed cultural critic Joseph Vogel reveals the inspirations, demos, studio sessions, technological advances, setbacks and breakthroughs, failures and triumphs, that gave rise to an immortal body of work.

Download or read book Nelson Riddle written by David Morrell and published by David Morrell . This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Morrell isn’t only an acclaimed thriller author. He’s also a former professor of American Studies who writes in-depth profiles about music and film legends. Frank Sinatra. Nat “King” Cole. Ella Fitzgerald. Judy Garland. Peggy Lee. Rosemary Cloony. Linda Ronstadt. No matter their various styles, these and other iconic popular singers had one thing in common—much of their best work was arranged by Nelson Riddle, whose renown within the world of arrangers rivaled that of the legends for whom he wrote. Indeed, some critics maintain that, if not for Riddle, Sinatra might not have overcome his mid-career failure and climbed to the superstar status that he eventually attained. In Nelson Riddle: The Man Behind the Music, bestselling author David Morrell discusses the career of a musical genius, who changed popular music and proved that a great arranger is as important as a great song and a great singer. This groundbreaking study describes Riddle’s remarkable achievements, analyzing the musical principles that made his arrangements so unmistakable and influential. At its core is the irony that a man whose music is described as “light” and “bright” should have been so bitter and disappointed in his life.

He discovered, developed and launched the careers of many superstars, including Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and Gloria Estefan, and is credited with creating the "Latin Explosion." He has had the privilege of working alongside Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, the Dixie Chicks, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Tony Bennett, and Ozzy Osbourne, amongst other music giants. This is his story--a story of the modern music industry, from Elvis to the iPod--through the eyes of the man who made much of it happen. Hitmaker recounts how a kid from the Bronx--and a college dropout--became one of the music industry's most creative and controversial CEOs. For the first time, Tommy lays bare the facts behind the most sensational aspects of his life, such as being married to and developing the career of Mariah Carey, managing Michael Jackson's emotional ups and downs, and the power struggle with his onetime boss and mentor Walter Yetnikoff. Hitmaker will take you inside this world of power, money, and fame as he recounts the fascinating dealings with countless icons, and what it was like to be at the top when the business suddenly changed. Tommy's story is one that will never be duplicated--and here it is, in his own voice, for the first time.
