"Jako dítě jsem se rozhodl, že pokud naše společnost diktuje, že člověk musí být černý nebo bílý, budu černý,“ prohlásil Johnny Otis - významná postava losangelské rhythm’n’bluesové scény. Byl bezesporu nadaný. Rozsahem zájmů a širokým uměleckým záběrem šlo o renesančního člověka.

Remembering Esther Phillips on the day she would have been 89-years old.

I've written a lot about Esther, I have a soft spot for her singing and am fascinated by her life story.

I have at least one more piece to write based on some history from #johnnyotis - It explains a great deal about why Esther made some of the choices she did.

For today though, I want to remember a ballsy woman who once walked into Creed Taylors office with a baseball bat under her fur coat to demand her royalty check.
