Willa
Ward Remembers 
Enteje
co-founder and contributor, Jack Marchbanks, interviewed
gospel legend Willa Ward-Royster during Black History Month
2008. Willa Ward is the older sister of famous gospel singer/songwriter,
the late Clara Ward (deceased January 1973).
The
Ward Singers blazed the trail for women in gospel from the
early 1930s through the 1960s. They were genuine AND glamorous.
In "Willa Ward Remembers," this gospel icon reflects on
her career and the golden age of Black religious music.

"All
The Way to Memphis"
"During
Black Music Month 2007, Enteje (NTJ) founder and partner
Jack Marchbanks visited Memphis, Tennessee, the home of
the Blues, the birthplace of Rock and Roll and where Stax
Records put Soul music on the map forever. Hear how Memphis
metamorphized into the mecca of American popular music.
From W.C. Handy to Three Six Mafia, from Elvis, Johnny and
Carl at Sun Records in the 50s to Otis, Booker T., Rufus,
Carla and Isaac at Stax Records in the sixties, this special
covers it all."

CBGB
and The BLANK Generation - Part 2
Just
as the upstate New York farm where Woodstock was staged
is it for the flower power generation, just as Memphis's
Stax Studios and Berry Gordy's "Hitsville USA" Motown headquarters
are the combined spiritual home of the music that defined
most African American baby boomers' youthful years- - -The
Country Blue Grass and Blues Club, better known as "CBGB,"
is hallowed ground for the "BLANK Generation," those late
era baby boomers who created the glam, punk and new wave
movements in rock from 1973 to 1981.
