Sidney Poitier - The Great...

Sidney Poitier, Joanna Poitier,...

The speeches of film legend Sidney Poitier—given at commencement addresses, awards shows, memorials, and more, on topics ranging from entertainment history to filmmaking, civil rights, and parenthood—come to vibrant life in this inspirational and stunningly packaged volume from the Poitier estate that sheds new light on the trailblazing artist's life and culture of the past century. Sidney Poitier represented strength, good looks, and above all dignity at a time when Black representation on the screen was so often relegated to servile parts. He broke ground as the top box-office draw in Hollywood at the peak of his career, and was the first Black actor to win the Best Actor Oscar, for his performance in Lillies of the Field (1963). Poitier—who narrowly escaped illiteracy after rising up from an impoverished childhood and the massive obstacles he faced as a Black man in mid-twentieth century America—was also one of the most articulate and sought-after speakers of his day. This book is a one-of-a-kind collection showcasing the wise, witty, and deeply personal speeches Poitier gave at awards ceremonies, family events, memorials, and more. His salutes to artists such as Dorothy Dandridge, Spencer Tracy, Stanley Kramer, and Denzel Washington offer fresh insight on icons of our time. Poitier's unforgettable cadence and voice are clear as day on the page, sometimes with careful edits and additions written in his own hand. Compiled by his wife, Joanna Poitier, and illustrated by dozens of professional and family photos, this collection stunningly captures all that was remarkable about the man through his own words; archives moments in the history of entertainment, culture, and civil rights; and offers a uniquely inspirational perspective on career, family, art, and life.

Naked & Dimed - My Lifelong...

Ram W. Tuli

No, Naked and Dimed isn’t the title of some naughty movie. It’s the name of the latest Psychedelic Mooj album. By “naked” we mean nothing came between guitar and amp (well, besides a cord). We didn’t use one stomp box on anything. What you hear is what we got straight out of each amp. This abridged audiobook documents the project and is meant to go hand and hand with the album. However, with the audiobook, we let you to hear what these amps and guitars sound like with soundbytes. The Naked and Dimed album can be streamed from any digital recording site (Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc.) The author will also gladly send you a CD if you prefer.
In the old days, “dimed” meant loud—turned up to 10 loud. The hep-cats who came before us used a different expression because their amps went to 12. They called it “clockwising the chickenhead to the max.” Since only four of the amps we used had chickenheads, we’ll just stick with “dimed.”
In reality, only a few of the amps were actually recorded at full volume. I love playing my amps totally cranked. However, when we got in the studio and tweaked things to sound “best,” many volume knobs ended up being closer to the point of breakup (6 to 8) than 10 or 12. I guess we should have called the album Naked and Nearly Clockwise Chickenheaded and Dimed, but then you’d have really been confused.
This book is really about exploring the tones and textures of 15 vintage guitars and 14 vintage Fender amps.
Quite simply, this is the best vintage guitar and amp audiobook you’ll ever hear!
