Harry Pace started the first major Black-owned record label in the U.S., but his achievements went mostly unnoticed until recently, when his descendants uncovered his secret history."A century ago, around the dawn of the Harlem Renaissance, New York City was brimming with music. Black artists like Eubie Blake, Florence Mills and Fats Waller were performing in dance halls and nightclubs including Edmond's Cellar and The Lincoln Theatre. On the next Coffee Conversations with Greg J, We're talking to Bill Doggett renownedBack arts historian about this fascinating story Bill Doggett is one of 4 African American members of The Association For Recorded Sound Collections, an organization compromised of the leading institutions, universities and libraries with notable dedicated Sound and Music Archives such as The Library of Congress, The Smithsonian, Yale, Rutgers, Stanford, UCLA and Manhattan's Rodgers and Hammerstein Archive.Doggett's Early Sound recordings Archive includes many Edison cylinders from the 1890s which were re licensed as flat disc recordings by Columbia and Victor Records. Notably, The Archive includes the only two recordings by the first African American to make a sound recording in 1900, George W Johnson. These recordings are sampled in live demos in his lectures and multi media presentations played on a 1922 Acoustic Senior table top Victrola. ( a suitcase Victrola)The story of early American popular music is incomplete without the story of Black Swan Records and Harry Pace - the first record label owned by African Americans. So many artists of the late 1800's and early 1900's were published by this label and the story of Harry Pace is interesting, compelling and full of surprises.

George has been through the struggles. He was facing 8 years of Federal prison time because of his own family members. George is very passionate about helping people deal with their mental issues. He feels in the African American communities they denies mental health issues instead of dealing with them head on. He is an inspiration to alot of people who are dealing or have dealt with the same issues George has dealt with. George Johnson, carries great energy about "keepin it real." His new memoir Double Crossed is out now. This African American Mental Health Advocate, Author and Serial Entrepreneur George Johnson started a logo-sewing business in middle school to playing professional basketball to becoming a serial entrepreneur, George excelled at everything he put his mind to. But along with the lofty highs have come many crushing lows—backstabbing family-members, future-crippling injuries, being indicted by the U.S. government and even those weren't the worst. As George came to learn, making it out is the easy part. Staying out… That's the real struggle. George is now the CEO of George W. Johnson Enterprise Inc. And has 4 mental health businesses. George will not let his struggles get him down. This only makes George stronger. You can contact George on his Instagram at @2xcrossed purchase his book at 2xcrossed.com/thebook or Amazon.
