PUBLISHER'S
LETTER

Dear Readers;
One of the most rewarding aspects of being publisher of the Grapevine
Magazine is that it provides me the opportunity to inform our readers of
Black people who have made positive contributions to their communities
and their race who would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
For the past eleven years, our staff has specialized in informing our
readers, through positive feature articles, of numerous Black individuals
throughout California who have sacrificed their time, their livelihood,
and many times their lives for the benefit of Black people and mankind
in general.
However, sometimes worthy individuals go unheralded in their communities and are often times overlooked by the local press. In an attempt
to rectify some of these oversights, the Grapevine Magazine has hired
several writers to seek out and interview deserving Black people who
have received little or no recognition for future articles and special
features. Readers are also encouraged to submit to our staff names, addresses and telephone numbers, etc., of individuals worthy of recognition. Mail information to: Grapevine Magazine, 3600 Wilshire Blvd. ,
Los Angeles, CA 90010.
Thank you,
Frank Johnson

special emphasis on the Western
States.
For a small hourly fee, anyone
can utilize her vast collection. All
of the major television and motion
picture studios have turned to Ms.
Clayton for valuable information
and used the WSBRC facilities.
Currently, her literary collection
dates from 1790 to present. Additionally, three other divisions of
the WSBRC are the early Black
film archives housed under the
Black American Cinema Society;
the Record Library, which goes
back to 1907 and the Artist
Association which exhibits and
supports the work of local

California artists.
Alex Haley is national Chairman of the WSBRC and one of
many distinguished Board of
Directors. The Centers Board of
Advi sors includes such notable
names as: Khalilah Ali, Ernie
Barnes, Diahann Carroll, Bernie
Casey, Felicia Jeter, and ma ny
more too numerous to li st.
Mayme Agnew Clayton is a
Black woman who commands
community respect and admiration. Twenty-odd years of
commitment in establishing her
beloved WSBRC has filled an
historic void and bridged cultures
to proudly offer a more positive
image of Black people in America.

mAYmE CLAYTON: FOREffiOST
AUTHORITY OF BLACK HISTORICAL
DATA OF THE WESTERN STATES
by Dee Dee fficNeil
Atop the Los Angeles C ity H a ll ,
in the city towers, an evening of
art was hosted by the Western
States Black Research Center. It's
founder, Mrs. Mayme Clayton,
had many reasons to be proud.
First, the affair wa to unveil the
work of Avery Clayton, one of her
three sons and President of the
WSBRC. Second, the ucce s of
the event wa another feather in
the cap of her nationally re pected
WSBR Orga nization.
Born in Van Buren, rkan a ,
M . Clayton came to Lo Angele
in 1946. Alway a bu ff for
16 hi torical topic , it wa not ur-

prising to close friends when her
interest in collecting and presm·
ing
Black
cultural heritage
became an obsession to create an
historical research center. A a
professional librarian since 1957,
she recognized the lack of infor·
mation
available
on AfroAmerican hi story and wanted to
do something about it. lnve ting
her life savings and all available
energy, she bega n building her
own library in the rear-hou e of
her inner-city dwelling. Tho c effort have gained her the re peel

Superstar of Superstars

ffiUHAmmAD ALI - ATHLETE OF DECADE
Muhammad Ali, 38, the most visible man and significant athlete of the
decade and, possibly, of all time, was honored by the Associated Press as
the Athlete of the Decade.
Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title in 1967 for refusing induction
into the Army. On June 28, 1971, the U.S . Supreme Court unanimously
overturned Ali's conviction for draft evasion and voided a five-year
prison sentence. "It's an honor to go to prison for God, for your
beliefs," Ali said during a recent interview. "God blessed me by making
me the winner.''
That's what Ali was in the 70's - a winner. In the ring he became the
first man to win the heavyweight championship three times. He had the
first multi-million-dollar fight in 1971 with Joe Frazier, each fighter getting $2.5 million. He earned more than $45.5 million in purses, and in
and out of the ring he earned the attention that made him one of the bestknown personalities in the world. With the help of TV, Ali became a
worldwide folk hero. It seemed that almost everyone watched him
whether or not they followed boxing.
With bankrolling countries like Zaire, Malaysia, and The Philippine ,
Ali made the multi-million dollar heavyweight fight commonplace. Hi
fights included three classic brawls with Joe Frazier, his broken jaw lo
in 1973 to Ken Norton, his tactical victory over George Foreman in
Africa in 1974, and his avenging defeat of Leon Spinks in his last fight in
24 1978, which was the third most-watched TV show ever.

Williams designed the Los Angeles International Airport and the Golden
State Insurance building.

had spectacular success as a
de igner of lavish homes for show
business celebrities. His client list
reads like a Who's Who of
Hollywood. He designed costly
homes for singer Frank Sinatra,
film stars Tyrone Power, Betty
Grable, Lucille Ball, Richard
Arlen, dancer Bill Robinson,
comedian Bert Lahr, and Charles
Correll, a creator of Amos 'n Andy.
Born in Los Angeles in 1894,
Williams graduated from the Los
Angeles Polytechnic High School
and later worked his way through
the University of Southern
California. While in high school,
Williams was discouraged from
becoming an architect because he
was Black, but at an early age he
made up his mind that the only

way to conquer prejudice was "to
rise above the cultural level of
their kind." Thus he became one
of America's top architects. It was
his attitude about race that
allowed him to design lavish
homes in Hollywood and Beverly
Hills, where he could not live
then, and design luxury hotels and
swank recreation spas that would
not welcome his as a guest.
Before his retirement in 1973,
Williams received honorary and
doctorate degrees from Howard
University, Lincoln University
and Tuskegee Institute for his accomplishments as an architect and
a person. He is survived by his
wife Della and daughters, Mrs.
Marilyn Hudson and Norma Harvey, and four grandchildren.

THE BLUE ALBUffi
Harold ffielvin and the Blue
Notes featuring Sharon
Paige (Source)
Even though it's called the Blue
Album, this newest release by
Harold Melvin and Company is
red hot. This album should let
everyone know that there has
always been more to Harold
Melvin and the Blue Notes than
Teddy Pendegrass. "Playin,"
which has climbed to the top of
the charts as a single, is only one
of the hits on this album. Sharon
Paige shows why she has gained so
much recognition in the past with
an excellent vocal lead on
"Tonight" which is also on the
charts.

ffilDNIGHT DESIRE
Rondy Brown
(Chocolate City)
Randy Brown's debut album on
Cecil Holmes' Chocolate City
Records has a refreshing style that
is reminiscent of the early days of
Al Green and Tyrone Davis. This
album for lovers has some excellent arrangements of some very
strong tunes including "We Ought
to be Doin" which has already
jumped onto the charts. A very
pretty ballad called ''The Next
Best Thing to Being There'' and a
mid-tempo tune, "Do You Love
Me" that has some catchy
background vocals by Ms. Marti
38 McCall and group.

--NW!Tht ...- ·1"'--

LADYT
Teena morie (Gordy)
This album
should
truly
establish Tenna Marie as one of
the foremost female vocalists in
the country. This extraordinary
lady not only shows her talent as a
vocalist, but also as a writer and
she co-produced the album.
Although all tunes are strong,
those deserving special attention
are "Young Girl in Love," "Now
That I Have You," "Aladdin's
Lamp," and the tune that is
rapidly becoming the hit of the
album "Why Did I Fall In Love
With You." Teena also does a
very sensitive expression of "Too
Many Colors." This superb album
is just another indicator that just
as the GRAPEVINE predicted Teena Marie is definitely someone
to watch in the 80's.

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
The Brothers Johnson (A&m)
Looks like L.A.'s own has done
it again. Louis "Thunder Thumps" and George "Lightnin Licks"
Johnson display the varied style
and talent that has kept them in
constant demand under the
guiding hand of producer Quincy
Jones. The production and
ingredients of this album are impeccable. With assistance from the
likes of Michael Jackson who cowrote and does the background
vocals on "This Had to Be" and
"Heat Waves," and Rod Temperton who wrote "All About
Heaven."
All of this makes certain that
the Brothers Johnson will be adding more gold to the walls.

PEABO BRYSON!...
AREAL SOUTHERN GENTLEffiAN
By Flo Jenkins

Peobo Bryso
42

Peabo Bryson exudes a sense of
pride in announcing that he is--by
h1 own term, "a southern gentleman." If from that you en\i ion an earthiness, confidence, a
genuine warmth and concern,
combined with a heavy dose of
ommon sense, then you've likely
captured to a great extent what
Peabo Bryson is like.
Born and raised in Greenville,
outh Carolina, this southern gentleman has managed to hold
pellbound the many persons who
appreciate good, romantic music.
He is often acclaimed a valid interpreter of romantic/social involvement. To further emphasize
his status, Peabo smiles, "Some
might consider me a 'doctor' of
orts, if you will; a philosopher
who uses music to soothe and
make things a little better.''
" Reaching For the Sky" was
Peabo's debut album on the
Capitol Records label. With this
album, which earned him a gold
record, he soared to success. And
the title track from that album as
well as "Feel the Fire" were both
hit singles. Since that initial succe s, Peabo has recorded one solo
album and another one with
atalie Cole. But it's his upcoming album (due for release in
pril) that has Bryson sparkling
with pride. "It's probably better

than anything 1've ever done," he
says. "I think it shows some
maturity in my work." Bryson,
who is a talented producer and
songwriter, wrote seven of the
songs on the new album.
Bryson's good fortune did not
come overnight, nor did it come
without some important personal
preparation. "I always believed
that I would be successful, and I
took four years off the stage to
prepare to make it. I went through
a period of reconditioning,"
recalls Peabo. "I wanted to be
able to handle all the facets of success. I prayed to God not to let me
have any money if I couldn't handle it. Being from the ghetto,
money means a great deal. During
those four years, I got an apartment with no stereo, no radio.
television, no stereo, no radio.
There was nothing there to make
any sounds except my piano. I got
into myself and figured out some
things about me that J just didn't
like. It was the kind of reconditioning that you have to do for
yourself, because nobody can tell
you what your true faults are. I
changed things about me that were
rude as a person. And I eliminated
all unnecessary elements of fear of
any kind."
With his fears and insecurities
put to rest, Bryson proceeded 43

44

steadfast with his career. And now
that he has gained some of what
he wanted, he's still reaching for
the sky, putting no limits on his
talents. "My goals aren't menial,
to say the least," he states. "At
some point in my life I want to be
considered the very best at what I
do." ls he seeking mass acceptance? "Mass acceptance?" he
questions, "Of course! Because I
believe I have something to say. If
I didn't believe that, then I could
be content with what I have. And
I'm not content. There is no
ultimate goal. Who's to say when
anything is enough! There is no
ceiling for me, and I don't want to
put a limit on what I want to accomplish in life.''
Peabo Bryson is a young man
who speaks firmly, with determination, weighing his thoughts
before he speaks. And he speaks
with a kind of authority on more
subjects than his music. In trying
to make a point, he uses phrases
that provoke one to think, quoting
important lines from a variety of
sources, including the Bible.
Bryson is very convincing in his
efforts to make you understand-whether you agree or not--just
what he is saying from his heart,
not just his lips. He does not like
to be misunderstood! For those
reasons, Bryson is somewhat
hesitant and very cautious when it
comes to discussing himself.
Downplaying his present status,
Bryson believes "there's a point of
acceptance that one can reach that
the mas e are more receptive to

what you have to say about yourself. I haven't reached that particular point. Stevie Wonder ha
reached a point of believability, of
mass acceptance. There
an
probably not a large number o
people who would just pick him
apart. But I could sit here and
itemize and tell the truth about
myself till I was blue in the face
and some people would
ay,
'What in the hell is this guy tryini
to sell me?' So I try to stay awai
from making pretentious tale·
ments. I know who I am, and it•
not something that I would itemize and try to sell to somebody. I
don't fool me. I don't have to
have a lot of people around me all
the time to feed my ego and tell me
how great I am."
Though Peabo doesn't delight
in itemizing his personal qualitie ,
he does exhibit a pride in hi
Southern roots, contributing hi
upbringing there with a lo ing
family to what he is today. "l' m a
sensitive person . And I ha e the
courage to stand up and say what I
have to say, whether it make m e
look bad or good. I'm n OI
arrogant, although I do ha e a 101
of self-confidence to be con fu eu
with arrogance at any giver
point." He adds, " I belie e that
can do anything that I decide I
want to do. And I belie\
everybody should feel that \\.a:about himself."

with the politics of this business. I
made it this far without dumping
anybody. I don't have to look
over my shoulder to find out what
kind of bad karma I got to pay for
stepping on somebody on the way
to where I am now. I don't hate
anybody and I don't think anybody out there hates me.''
Those are the things that Peabo
expresses as a real reward of success. But what gives him the
greatest joy and real feeling of
success is being able to provide a

better way of life for his family.
Says Peabo, "My mother had five
jobs in the course of one week up
until last June. Thankfully she
doesn't have to scrub anybody's
floors anymore. There are certain
commitments I made to God. And
taking care of my family is at the
top of the list. When I can do that,
it makes everything worthwhile."
Peabo Bryson, a "southern gentleman?" ... Ummm, yeah, I'd say
he is--and more.

This Jamaa Fanaka Production
seems to have attracted some light
amidst the darkened overcast left
by the blaxploitation film era of
yesteryear.
Although "Penitentiary" graphically reveals the brutal and sometimes appalling look at the uncompromising frustration and hostility
found in contemporary prison
life, Jamaa Fanaka has tightly
captured the real problems in today ' penal system. Here, he
hows the prisoners as caged up
ex ten ions of everyday society,
unmercifully dehumanized by
their revolting conditions.
Mo t of the action-drama in
taged when leading man, Leon
I aac Kennedy, who plays the part
of a wanderer, is fal sely imprioned on a trumped-up murder
charge. An outwardly handsome
man , he immediately must forcefully oppose the homosexual victimization and "property" label,

when he savagely beats up his barbarious cell-mate (Badja Djola),
the cell block's chauvinist bully.
Thus, earning him the name "Too
Sweet."
The central thrust of the plot is
established when the film' s prime
character, Warden Arnsworth
(Chuck Mitchell) adds a different
dimension to the story line. He i
not depicted as the stereotyped
hard-line bigot, but as an avid
sports enthusiast and genuinely
compassionate human
being.
Besides gaining the re pect of his
convicts, he quickly recognize
Too Sweet's untrained fight ing
skills and encourage him to try
out for the pri on boxing team.
Although not initially in terested in
the prospect, the bene fits of
"connubial" vi iting pri vilege
and a possible early parole promptly gets his attentio n .
As the film prog re e the
emotion is heightened when the

"Penitentiary" starring Leon Isaac Kennedy
martyr, played by Thommy
Pollard, paints a true-to-life portrait of the victimized "girl" role,
and at the same time, the senational boxing match finale is
laced with some unforgetable ribtickling humor.
Three cheers for cinematographer Marty Ollstein, who boosted the film's technical ratings with
his superb camera work. He continuously gives an authentic depiction of the prison's intolerable
and incarcerating atmosphere.
Frankie Gaye's pulsating theme
blends well and should attain its
own musical notoriety.
As an independent, Jamaa
Fanaka has packed enough punch
and plot in this third feature to
" dance," move, duck and jab

through at least ten round s with
any major heavyweight competition. (R-rated)

ffiOVIN' UP
By Berry Gordy. Sr.
Introduction by Alex Ha le_y

Harper & Row; 144 pp.• $7.95

Berry Gordy, Sr., one of the 23
children of a businessman, farmer, and former slave, was born
in Oconee, Georgia in 1888. In
Movin ' Up he recalls with warmth
and humor some of the highlights
of a long and successful life, its
joys and griefs, and the difficult
and sometimes dangerous struggle
to survive and succeed in a white
world. From the log hou e of his
childhood where "if you wanted
to see the sunrise, you could lay in
bed and look through the cracks,"
through the hard years of fighting
to hold on to the family's land, to
hi days a a young married man
in Detroit where hard work, pereverance and integrity e tablished
him as a successful bu inessman
and community leader, Berry
Gordy loved and learned from
everything life offered him.
In Detroit, Mr. Gordy developed a prosperou con truction
business. In the mid-I 960's, his
on Berry, Jr., owner of Motown
lndu tries, bought the busines ,
56 fired his father, and immediately

r-'

. I() \ .

. p

hired him to an executive position
at the Motown Record Corpora•
tion .
At the time of his death, Mr.
Gordy was a business developer,
consultant and spiritual counselor
to Motown Industries. He was a
beloved figure to such stars as
Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross,
Smokey Robinson and Marvin
Gaye who paid tribute to him in
their recording "Pops, We Love
You," selected in 1979 as the First
Father's Day Song of the Year.
Among the many honors Mr.
Gordy received were the Congratulatory Citation for Aggressive
and Intelligent Leadership from
President Carter and the 1979 Tribute to a Black American of the
National Conference of Black
Mayors (po thumou ly awarded).
Completed before Mr. Gordy's
death at the age of ninety in
November, 1978, these memoir
will bring the
pmt of thi
remarkable and lo ing man to a
wider community.

SCIENTIST LINKS ALLERGIES TO
CHILDREN WETTING BED
Many American children wet
the bed at night because they are
allergic to common foods such as
milk, eggs and chocolate, according to a Michigan physician.
Or. James C. Breneman, an
allergist from Galesburg, Michigan, said he studied 500 bed wetters over a 20-year period and concluded that "more than twothirds" of bed wetting-in possibly as many as 5 ½ million American children-is caused by allergies.
He made the claim in a speech
to the American College of
Allergists.
Breneman, 56, has a private
practice in a suburb of Kalamazoo. He said he lectures at Michigan State University and serves as
an allergy consultant to the Veterans Administration and U.S.
Food and Drug Administration.
Emotional stress and infections
or phy ical defects in the urinary

tract also cause bed-wett ing, he
said, and careful examination is
needed before those can be ruled
out.
Breneman said about 60 percent
of the allergic bed-wetting ca es
stemmed from a reaction to cow's
milk. Other offending food included corn, wheat, eggs, chocolate and citrus food , he said .
In allergic chi ldren, he sa id , the
bladder wall can swell and become
less elastic so that it holds Jes .
The
bladder
shutoff
valve
becomes inflammed and less likely
to constrict, he noted, and smooth
bladder muscle becomes irritated
and likely to suffer spasms.
"These children are more li kely
to be fatigued because o f thei r
food allergy and to sleep deeply,"
Breneman said. "They seem to be
less motivated to get up during t he
night if there is a slight urge to
empty the bladder."

OPERA AUDITION
"The seemingly effortless performance of Earl R. Meyers, Jr.,
1ent chills up the spine of one
Judge, " quoted the Fresno Bee after Earl Meyers, bass-baritone,
was selected as the First Place
Winner in the District Auditions
for the Metropolitan Opera recently held in Fresno, California.
This win assures Meyers of a place
mthe semi-finals for the Western
Region Auditions for the Metropolitan Opera in Los Angeles.
This was Meyers' third victory in a
major competition. In 1977, he
won First Place in the Metropolitan Opera Auditions and the San
Francisco Audition.
Meyers is a young concert artist
who is rapidly gaining recognition
in the music world, particularly in
lhe field of sacred music in
California and now on the East
Coast. He is scheduled to make his
ew York debut in Carnegie Hall
on June 17, 1980. At the present
lime he is looking for financial
backing for the venture.
Meyers graduated from Fresno
High School and attended Pacific
Union College
in
Angwin,
California. Upon returning to
Fres no, Meyers was advised by
Fresno City College professor of
\fusic, Lowell Spencer, to study
music seriously. He entered
California State University at
Fresno in 1969 and began studying

Earl Meyers, Jr.

with his present coach, Or.
Rolland W. Hurst, professor of
Music. He graduated with B.A.
and Master Degrees in Music with
a concentration in vocal performance from California State
University at Fresno. Currently,
he is an elementary school teacher
in the Fresno Unified School
System.
A devout Christian, Meyers
says that he lives to praise the
Lord through the voice that was
given to him. "Praise the Lord: I
couldn't have done it without the
Lord's help. l believe that Jesus
has given me this voice to tell
others of His soon-coming. I intend to do what He wants and go
where He leads," states Meyers.
Meyers makes his home in
Fresno with his lovely wife,
Shirley, and their two sons, Earl
lll and Marc Anthony.
