Other information detailed in the book includes: Louis Armstrong recorded a country album in 1970 and first recorded country in 1930 with the legendary Jimmie Rodgers; DeFord Bailey was one of the most popular performers on the Grand Ole Opry from 1926 to 1941; Chuck Berry wrote 15 Billboard country chart hits and is among five black people inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame; Fats Domino recorded dozens of country songs and earned a spot on the Billboard country chart in 1981; Berry Gordy operated five country record labels as subsidiaries of Motown Records, racking up 36 Billboard country chart hits and launching the career of country star T. G. Sheppard; Louis Jordan & Lucky Millinder and His Orchestra landed on the second-ever Billboard country chart, in 1944, marking them as the first black acts to make the chart; Linda Martell is the first black woman known to perform country music on the Grand Ole Opry, in 1969; Aaron Neville has recorded a body of country music that has earned him a country Grammy Award, an Academy of Country Music Award, Country Music Association Award nominations and a Billboard country chart hit; the Supremes released a country album in 1965; and the Pointer Sisters won a country Grammy Award in 1974.
Customer Reviews:
EXCELLENT BOOK ,ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DID THIS !.......1999-02-25
(newly reprinted-get this,if you like this book) states on one page,it seems too contentious a topic for an impeccably liberal musicologist to research and write about,black musicians are deified,white country musicians are bumpkins and rednecks who steal,yet black musicians who played music of an Anglo-Celtic or European style were great musicians who adapted to a awful situation (slavery)not that they may have actually enjoyed playing the music not counting their enslaved position in society of the time. 2)It was heart warming to read about a "young star in the making",a 13 yr old girl who wants to be a country singer.I really hope she makes it. Foster has done a great service to all the people and fans of country music in the black community who have followed their love of a style of music that has never been thought to have been their own but as she has shown can proudly claim their own as much as anyone.Country music is not just "white"music,it is an "AMERICAN" music as this book proudly shows.This book deserves a wider audience,Foster has self-published this effort,but it deserves publishing by a major publishing house to expose to a larger audience,I only found it here at Amazon.com by accident.Lucky Me !

A Purely American Invention: The U.S. Open-End Mutual Fund Industry
Lee L. Gremillion Manufacturer: National Investment Co. Service Association ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0970584504 |
Book Description
A Purely American Invention: The U.S. Open-End Mutual Fund Industry targets the needs of three audiences. First, it seeks to help mutual fund industry employees who wish to gain an understanding of both the breadth of fund operations and the context in which they are performed. Many industry members know only a limited subset of mutual fund functions- because they are new to the industry, or because their experience has been limited to a narrow functional area.Business students studying the mutual fund industry form the second target audience. The mutual fund industry has grown in size andimportance to a point where mutual fund operations are taught as a subject in both undergratduate and MBA curricula. This book serves as a text book for such courses, laying out for students what fund companies do, what their management functions and issues are, and how they evolved to their present form.
Finally, this book is for the general reader, perhaps him- or herself a mutual fund investor, who seeks to understand more about the industry. Many individuals, when face with an unfamiliar phenomenon, naturally ask the question, "How does this thing work?" This book is intended for those whose curiosity prompts them to ask this question about mutual funds and the U.S. open-end fund industry.
Customer Reviews:

An A to Z look at the mutual fund industry.......2000-12-28
Gremillion's clear and concise writing makes his book an interesting and easy read. Too bad it wasn't available when I was in college.
Well written, even-handed, and packed with information.......2000-12-19
The book is full of data as well. For example, the author doesn't just tell about how much a few star portfolio managers get in compensation. When he discusses what investment managers get paid, he includes the results from an industry survey that show averages and ranges for a variety of positions. John Bogle appropriately calls the book "authoritative" in his foreword.
Well written, even-handed, and packed with information.......2000-12-17
A Must-Read for any Mutual Fund Investor!.......2000-12-14

John Locke: Writings on Religion
John Locke Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0199243425 |
Book Description
John Locke: Writings on Religion brings together for the first time a broad selection of John Locke's writings on religion and theology, some of which have never been published before. Locke was a founder and shaper of modern thought and society, and his principal works are among the most influential ever written. Much that he wrote is either about religion or touches on it, which is not surprising, for he lived and worked during a time of heightened religious sensibility. Subjects that today would be considered to have little or no bearing on religion were viewed by him and his contemporaries within a theological frame: the nature of knowledge and belief, the origin of ideas, the nature of language, metaphysical questions concerning substance, personal identity, the relation of mind and body, the foundation of morality, the origin of civil society, toleration. A right understanding of Locke requires that all of his opinions be viewed within this religious frame. Read together, and in context, these writings illustrate the deep and pervasive religious motivation in Locke's thought. They are key texts in intellectual history.
