Minstrel Magic : George Mitchell - A Lovely Man


Description

Choirmaster George Mitchell hated the limelight, yet was responsible for a worldwide show business phenomenon - the George Mitchell Choirs and ultimately the Black and White Minstrel Show, which won the first-ever Golden Rose of Montreux, becoming the world's Best Light Entertainment show. Sold to television companies worldwide, including many in Africa and the Caribbean, it was the first television show to invade and capture the live theatre, running on the London stage, the provinces, Australia and New Zealand from 1962 until 1987. George remains the only artiste simultaneously to hold 1st, 2nd and 4th places in the album charts. Yet, twenty years later, the BBC airbrushed the show from history. But deeply embedded in the world consciousness, it refused to die and is part of the world's collective consciousness, its 'racial' aspect now unthinkingly defining a show that was so much more, as indeed was George's career. Recent documentaries have retold the story, concentrating on the perceived racial aspect. None has told the full unbiased story, not just of the Minstrels but of George and his singers, at the top of the tree for fifteen years before the Minstrels.Now, thanks to unprecedented access to their archives and with the full co-operation of George's widow, the story of these singers' forgotten role in British light entertainment can be told, set against a backdrop of post-war Britain and rising racial tensions. Appealing to entertainment, history and biography lovers, the book reclaims George's rightful place in the history of entertainment.

The writing is accompanied by (not necessarily linked to) a visual order of black-and-white photos of leaders in their cultural fields, some modern, many historical, some famous, and all personal. This eclectic selection of people are both direct and indirect influences to Kevin Roberts' life. They all have an interesting - and some mysterious - connection to concepts of leadership in a crazy world. Examples are: Mary Quant, Vince Lombardi, Margaret Thatcher, Vivienne Westwood, Twiggy, Tom Peters, Peter Drucker, Martin Luther King, Renzo Rosso, Brigit Bardot, Bob Dylan, Sean Fitzpatrick (a rugby player). Then some of Petaybee's staunchest champions--Yanaba Maddock, Marmion de Revers Minstrel Magic : George Mitchell - A Lovely Man download ebook pdf Algemeine, Bunny Rourke, and Diego Metaxos--were kidnapped. The perpetrators wanted Petaybee for its incredible mineral wealth. Their other attempts at plundering the planet had all failed, and now they were determined to force the Petaybeans to make a trade: the planet for the people. They simply didn't understand that such a bargain was impossible. For the only one who could speak for Petaybee was Petaybee itself--and no one knew what a living planet could do once it found its voice...
