Jeffrey Turpin is considered one of the pioneers of the local pop-scene music industry in Trinidad & Tobago. Born in 1944, he got involved into music production in his teenage years in the early 1960s. He started to produce and manage bands like the Strollers, the Sparks (who would later become the famous Wildfire), Mighty Pancho, Bert Baily & the Jets, and the Five Fingers Combo. In 1966 he discovered the now legendary artist Mavis John who's first recordings, a cover version James Brown's 'It's A Man's World' (as the B-side for a Strollers track), became a huge hit in the Caribbean. Having troubles in the music industry in Trinidad he decided to leave for the U.S. in 1968 to work there in the music industry. Through a friend's sister he met Dee Dee and Brook Benton and his future wife, their niece Ida Dixon. He started to record several artists from the Caribbean and the U.S. at Broadway and Coordinated Studios in New York, including Mavis John, Dee Dee Benton, Johnny Braff, his wife Ida Nixon (she also gave name to his label and record shop IDA records), the Cinnamon Suns and his own band the Jeffrey Turpin Experience. The Cinnamon Suns' (a band consisting of band members coming from several Caribbean islands) first album 'Getting It All Together' was recorded in 1971 and contained the track 'Reggay Express' which became a huge hit across the Caribbean. It also featured the song 'Party Time' and some cover versions of latin and soul songs like 'Soul Limbo' and 'Columbia Boogaloo'. Still trying to establish Mavis John as a solo artist he recorded a demo of 'Rumours' that Dee Dee Benton had written to offer it to Atlantic Records. While Atlantic Records refused to release it, Jeffrey decided to release the song on his own label IDA Records. The track was also recorded by his wife Ida and released on a single on his label.

What a man
Format: Kindle
This book should be required reading for all Americans. MLK Jr. describes his journey through leading the bus boycotts following Rosa Parks refusal to give up her seat. MLK's conviction in nonviolent resistance even when facing the most vicious hate and attacks is extremely inspiring and admirable.

Required Reading

Required reading for those interested in DEI, social justice, nonviolent protest, and contemporary Christianity. Dr. King continues to be an inspiration long after his assassination.

Detailed View of the Important Montgomery Movement
Format: Kindle
If you have read The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr (MLK), incidents of the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama are duplicated but conveyed in more detail. The book clearly explained the life and mindset of the participants of the movement. It is a treasury of information on the life, personality and mind of MLK that have guided him throughout his vocation as leader of a non-violent anti-slavery movement. It will benefit all blacks and immigrants like me, even the Left and Radicals, to read MLK's books at this time and in this place of our present world. We can all benefit to apply his movement to our times to make America a better place.
