| Stamz, R: Give 'Em Soul, Richard! |
|
|
As either observer or participant, radio deejay and political activist Richard E. Stamz witnessed every significant period in the history of blues and jazz in the last century. From performing as a minstrel in the 1920s to broadcasting Negro League baseball games in a converted 1934 Chrysler to breaking into Chicago radio and activist politics and hosting his own television variety show, his remarkable life story is also a window into milestones of African American history throughout the twentieth century. The pioneering Chicago broadcaster and activist known as "The Crown Prince of Soul" related the details of his life and career to college professor Patrick A. Roberts. Narrated by Stamz, this entertaining and insightful chronicle surrounds Stamz's memories of race records, juke joints, and political action in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood with insights on the larger historical trends that were unfolding around him in radio and American history.
