How Does a 'Shaft' Soundtrack Get Made Without Isaac Hayes? (Guest Op-Ed) from Isaac Hayes III

Released in 1971, the original Shaft soundtrack changed the landscape of motion picture soundtracks forever. The problem is that the 2019 Shaft soundtrack, released through WaterTower Music/Warner Bros. Pictures, is nothing short of a disaster.

#throwbackthursday to 2010 when Quincy Jones dropped his new (tribute) album of classic reinterpretations, Soul Bossa Nostra f/ a host of current stars & scared the bejeezus out of us so we decided to have a lil fun with it. Shout out to Craig G (of Juice Crew) fame and DJ Phaze for blessing us with the mix.

We're running just a little short of the liquidity required to get in on this auction 😂, but what would you like to see happen to this amazing piece of history?? 🤔👀

The Ebony photo archives span more than 70 years of African American history, chronicling everyone from Martin Luther King Jr. to Sammy Davis Jr. in more than 4 million original images.

Chicago-based Johnson Publishing, which sold its magazine portfolio — Ebony and Jet — three years ago, has been trying unsuccessfully to sell its photo archives since 2015, when the collection was appraised at $46 million.

The bankruptcy auction is seeking to recover at least $13.6 million owed to secured creditors George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, whose company, Capital V Holdings, issued a $12 million loan to a struggling Johnson Publishing in 2015.

The filmmaker and his financier wife are free to bid on the archives using the $13.6 million they are owed in principal and interest, but would receive the full collection in a foreclosure if no other bidder steps up, Fried said. Any additional money would go to unsecured creditors.

Fried said he has heard from a number of “interested parties” ranging from large corporations and museums to celebrities and athletes. All will need to make a “qualified bid” to participate in the live auction, which will likely take place in Chicago the week of JulyJuly 15 at a date and place to be named.

While a website has been launched to view some of the images, qualified potential bidders can see the photos up close and in person before the auction. The collection is split between the Johnson Publishing offices and an art storage facility in Chicago, Fried said.

Walk-ins, however, are not welcome.

“We’re not opening the doors for the general public to walk through,” Fried said. “We need to have some assurances that people who are interested in looking at this are sufficiently liquid to participate in the process.”

Auction wars? George Lucas and Mellody Hobson could battle bidders for historic Ebony photo archives.

Chicago-based Johnson Publishing, which sold its magazine portfolio — Ebony and Jet — three years ago, has been trying unsuccessfully to sell its photo archives since 2015, when the collection was appraised at $46 million.

“The company was not a compelled seller at the time and it’s possible the asking price was just too high,” Fried said.

The bankruptcy auction is seeking to recover at least $13.6 million owed to secured creditors George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, whose company, Capital V Holdings, issued a $12 million loan to a struggling Johnson Publishing in 2015.

The filmmaker and his financier wife are free to bid on the archives using the $13.6 million they are owed in principal and interest, but would receive the full collection in a foreclosure if no other bidder steps up, Fried said. Any additional money would go to unsecured creditors.

The Ebony photo archives, spanning more than 70 years of African American history, will go up for auction in a July bankruptcy sale.

GFM Live Recap: Morris Day & Sheila E. Bring the Funk to KISS 104.1 Flashback Festival The Kiss 104.1 Flashback Festival is always the place to be for Growns who are “Old School For Life”. It’s even better when members of the Minneapolis funk family show up. At 61 years young, Sheila E. tore up the stage. You already knew she’s the baddest on the percussion, but did you know Ms. Escovedo throws down on the guitar too?! She paid tribute to the Purple One [Prince] by performing some of his songs, but perhaps we delighted most when she pulled out a jewel from her own catalog– “The Belle Of St. Mark”. The Godfather of Cool Morris Day brought up the rear. With him were Monte Moir and Jellybean Johnson, two original members of Time, and of course his signature mirror. Day’s swagger and schtick never gets old. He will always be beloved for it. Besides, it makes for a great time when combined with all the jams we love. He too paid tribute to his friend Prince with a picture montage between costume changes. Photo Credit: Hope West http://bit.ly/GFMFlashback

#jeebus Tori!! #torikelly #grownfolksmusic "Beyond the impact of Tori Kelly’s soaring vocals is the influence of her voice– what she says when she has the mic and the message she sends out from her platform. The crowd held on to every lyric and note she sang. It appeared to be affirmation or inspiration to them… or both. Social media has given almost all of us the opportunity to have a voice, look, or even build a following, but Tori Kelly has built trust and relationship through her artistry. Her show was a reflection and extention of that. Although the album and tour is called Hiding Place, at the beginning of her show she declared the room a “safe space”. She didn’t just come to sing songs, but for an intimate exchange of love and light. In fact, if you attend a show on this tour, then we highly recommend that you stay for the encore. It’s a moment of singing and worship that will bless your entire being [don’t cheat and look for videos on the internet]." 💯❤️ --- @djkkcdet x @_hopewest / Excerpt from the GFM Review of the Tori Kelly #hidingplacetour in Atlanta (10/18) Link : bit.ly/GFMTK repost via @instarepost20 from @theyhavetherange This right here just did something to my soul!
