Mel Cheren's life in a doc coming near you

Largery inspired by Mel Cheren's autobiography "My Life and the Paradise Garage: Keep On Dancin", The documentary "The Godfather of Disco (G.O.D.)" offers a "mesmerizing overview of the rise and fall of '70s-era dance music," according to Max Sparber of the Pulse of the Twin Cities (4/18/07).

Through a series of interviews with a who's who of the dance music community, G.O.D. uses the arc of Mel's life to examine the early 70s musical and cultural currents that gave birth to disco, West End Records' contribution to that scene, the rise of the Paradise Garage, and the onslaught of HIV/Aids and its impact on New York City. It look at Mel's activist years as he harnesses the power of music to fight Aids via his charity work for GMHC and 24hrs for Life/LifeBEAT.

Gene Graham, director of "The Godfather of Disco (G.O.D.)" says:

"Through it all, Mel has been there, done that, lived to tell the tale and continues to do it all today. Pioneer, activist, survivor, Mel Cheren is The Godfather of Disco. I'm happy to report that the editing is complete and the response has been very positive"

On Thursday April 26th, The Godfather of Disco had its World Premiere at the 2007 Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival. Gene Graham received their Emerging Filmmaker Award.

James Brown obscure recording unveiled

Surprisingly, those aren't old 50s and 60s stuff, nope, actually they are from the 90s, quite recent in perspective to his long standing carreer. Now honestly they're not all great, but one or two warrants the attention of James Brown fans.

TK Disco records founder Henry Stone is responsible for this release, he says ...

"I have been with James
Brown since the beginning of Please, Please, Please, as a mentor and as
a friend. In the early 90s, we formed the Brownstone record label and
put out several releases over the years. James sent me a number of tracks
to be released and tested on the Brownstone label. After James'
sudden death, I felt it was important to put out this CD, "James Brown
A Family Affair", in honor of James' memory, to release these tracks
to the world as James Brown would have wanted. This collection includes
material that he sent me from himself and his two daughters, Yamma Brown
and Venisha Brown"
