Re: [Harp-L] Review of Cadillac Records Movie

["James" <wasabileo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Incidently, not related to the movie, was a rumor that the Chess Brothers 
were disrespectful and racist and made the artists enter the studio through 
the back Door. Willie Dixon responded that it was a lie.
Remember racism was present everywhere not just the South. There are still 
questions about Alan Freed and why he was singled out in the payola scandal. 
One reason presented is that he promoted inter racial dances and concerts 
that offended many.
