102 y/o Dancer Sees Herself on Film for the First Time
102 y/o Dancer Sees Herself on Film for the First Time Hotney 1 Streams • 4 years ago

UPDATE: A book featuring Alice has come out! The author Susan visited her before she passed, and it's a fascinating history of the importance of 'soundies' films. So amazing Alice could be a part of bringing all these artists of color the recognition they deserve! Link here: https://iupress.org/9780253058....546/soundies-and-the

---

UPDATE: Alice passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 6th, 2016. She spent the last day of her life in good spirits, enjoying listening to music and having her mail read to her. Thank you to all the thousands of fans who sent in cards, flowers, and art. You truly gave her deep joy and meaning in the last years of her life!

Alice Barker was a chorus line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance of the the 1930s and 40s. She danced at clubs such as The Apollo, Cotton Club, The Zanzibar Club, and on Broadway—with legends including Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Although she danced in numerous movies, commercials and TV shows, she had never seen any of them, and all of her photographs and memorabilia had been lost over the years.

After years of searching we found three "Soundies" Alice appeared in and were finally able to show them to her — she had never seen herself in motion in her life!

You can learn more about Alice at the little website we've set up for her: http://www.alicebarkernotbaker.com/

All of Alice's films from this video are collected here: https://youtu.be/rpg5D0AAA2w

For more info about the dancers of the Harlem Renaissance, we recommend the lovely documentary "Been Rich All My Life" —several of the women in the film danced with Alice back in the day!

A little more about the who's who here: "We" are friends of Alice who searched for the films and made this video. I'm David Shuff, a volunteer who visits the home with my therapy dog Katie, and have known Alice for 8 years. The woman in the video is Gail Campbell, a recreation therapist (and an amazing one at that!). She never gave up on finding Alice's films, and uncovered the first piece of the puzzle that lead to us finding them — which was Alicia Thompson; a historian of black female performers who had been looking for Alice for years (her site is http://forclassicmovieloversonly.trip... and her YouTube channel is "MusicandDancing4Ever"). She told us that Alice was in films called 'soundies'.

Using that clue I found jazz historian Mark Cantor of http://jazz-on-film.com and he was able to send us three of Alice's soundies from his collection. Shortly afterwards Alicia got us a few more films.

This video was filmed on cellphones (and almost as an afterthought!) by my friends Darin Tatum and Tom Hunt.

Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World
An incredible narrative of struggle, triumph and resistance that will be brought to life through the lens of an art form that has chronicled the emotions, experiences and expressions of Black and Brown communities: Hip Hop. In the aftermath of America's racial and political reckoning in 2020, the perspectives and stories shared in Hip Hop are key to understanding injustice in the U.S. over the last half-century.

Authored by Public Enemy’s Chuck D, who famously labeled Hip Hop as “the Black CNN” for bringing the stories of the street to the mainstream, this story will include personal testimonies of the MCs, DJs, graffiti artists, filmmakers, politicians and opinion formers who created and shaped its direction as it grew from an underground movement in the Bronx to the most popular music genre in the U.S. and the fastest growing genre in the world today. Featuring interviews from A-list talent like Killer Mike, Will.i.am, Monie Love, Ice-T, Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte and many more, the series will paint a portrait of the unique relationship between Hip Hop and the political history of the U.S.

The Roots, Explained with a Single Chord
The Roots, Explained with a Single Chord Hotney 4 Streams • 4 years ago

Questlove and Whatnot are holding a live stream auction https://whatnot.onelink.me/zALw/2dqjbmwd on April 7th at 3:30pm ET. He’s selling special records from his personal collection for charity and 1 lucky viewer will be chosen to join him record shopping at A-1 Record Shop in New York City! Download the @whatnot app and join the auction livestream www.quest.whatnot.com

The Roots album “Things Fall Apart” from 1999 is a great album, and there’s one song in particular, one CHORD especially that feels so good. In trying to understand why, I kept going, kept analyzing, looking at the larger context of this chord, this album, and The Roots as a band - and then I figured it out. This one chord kind of explains…The Roots, and what they’ve managed to accomplish in the past, nearly 25 years since its release.

Lyrics:
Do you get enough, get enough, get enough, get enough love
I wanna know
Baby, do you, do you, get enough, get enough, get enough, get enough love
Oooh

If the answer's no, you're not by yourself
There's others out there like you going through it too
Some are luckier than others when it comes to romance
Nothing is guaranteed
We're all taking a chance

Baby, do you, do you get enough, get enough, get enough, get enough love
I wanna know, I gotta know, I wanna know
Baby, do you, do you get enough, get enough, get enough, get enough love

If you know something's wrong with you
You better come see me, 'cause I'm ready, willing and able
To give you what you need, when you need, and oh, how you need it
Baby, anytime you need my love, you know I'm gonna give it to you
