The black and African man can create anything out of nothing. All we need is to look in our inner self and do for our self. We make this people rich while they exploit our talent for their currency hungry testing. Here in South Africa they also do same. West Africa is now fighting harder to understand what is going on in the diaspora. Love and miss from your brother and one day we all shall unite as one body and one nation. Thanks for the upload my brother in the diaspora.

The Capital Records Company in Hollywood is known as "The House That Nate Built." Understand and believe, America has designed "mainstream" with a high price for entry and survival. Nate and others during a period of no civil rights in America, showed true grit. These kinds of relationships with European American power brokers, led to huge gains later for hundreds. America has always forced us to pay more dues to reach the same successes, then we take over.
@suem6004
@suem6004 4 года назад
The Race Analyst, PHD Proving Hate & Degradation No such thing as European Power Brokers. Business is business. Instead of criticizing risk taking entrepreneurs, put your money with your mouth is and you pay musicians and produce and sell their music. If no industry there would be zero records. Nat would have merely been a local not a national nor international talent. Barry Gordy did the same. And now virtually no music is being produced of newcomers. Music has died.

@@suem6004 Maintaining a lack of comprehension throughout a relatively succinct array of sentences, that produced an insider's glimpse, and factual disect of Capitol Records...does not an arguement make. Your unloading of unattached topics and hyperbole/conjecture...one of the pitfalls of online chatter. Lessons: Nate thrived amid a vulturous industry, during the 50's, "run by Europeans" during "Jim Crow." Free enterprise is ideally color free (i.e. cross-over music and audience univer$iality)...but America is not historically free enterprise system. - To deny "European Power Brokers" is to be in denial of capatalism itself. Your deny of that reality on RU-vid...an international online platform, is case study worthy. Focus...facts...no emotion, no social agenda and attempts to be politically correct in a nation of deep pathology. Your suggest that a talented yet socio-economically deprived people, based on their cast/complexion be independent of an industry that copied and gained from their originality...obviously not the choice...sounds good, but stuff of fairy tales, now beyond the tipping point.

Wow, in 1955 I was 2, and remember my father and other African American men often singing , "Straighten up and fly right...." . I did not understand the true meaning of this song when I was young. Yet, today watching this video I know exactly what Mr King and my dad were saying to me and the world. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge Mr King for this hymn, and this prayer!

I was bartender on an Amsterdam- Paris train in the '90's. The barcar had it's own music-installation which we were not allowed to use on a regular train. Only on holidaytrains etc. But we did ! I was just discovering the old American Swing and Big Bands at that time. I was in my 40's , it was the music we heard on TV in Holland in old movies and shows. Glenn Miller, Dorsey Brothers etc.( Chattannooga Choo Choo goes very well while travelling in a train, specialy the longer filmversion ! ) A train-conductor on that train played in a band himself and was a great fan of Nat King Cole. He recorded a tape for me with rare music from Nat King Cole recorded in a club somewhere, which I ofcourse played ! Specially in offseasons ,early dark outside on the return-journey , not too busy, people would sit down , have a drink and have a chat . Often about this music, once in a while older Americans would come up to me asking "where did you get this tape ???" , because they never heard these not-officialy recorded songs before . Great to see and hear this far too short clip !
