Hey everyone,
This is a strange and difficult time. We are all
concerned about what the corona virus means
for our health, our livelihood, families and
communities, both in the short and long term.
There’s still a great deal of uncertainty.
One thing we need to do is be smart and cut
down on unnecessary trips. Hopefully Doctors
and science will come up with a vaccine soon. In
the meantime, let’s all do our part so we can be
together soon. Remember, it’s not for yourself
it’s for your family, too.
I talked to some of the ACSC (SOS) officers
last week. SOS is still a go right now, but they
are concerned. They have been talking to the
City about the parade, but the city has not
okayed it yet. So, it’s up in the air right now.
SOS is still a while away but, I’m giving the
information as I get it.
We all have Dreams and Visions for our club. I
feel sometimes that our dreams have been put
on hold, but we have to continue to Dream and
think about improving our club. Let’s all keep
dreaming and share our ideas.
Enjoy the little things in life for someday you
will realize they were the big things.
Your President,
Steve Day

History of R&B (found in our History Archives)
Press Release May 12, 1982
Rhythm N’ Blues/ Beach Music Hall of Fame
480 N Church St
Spartanburg, SC
Across from Wofford College
Officers: President: Jimmy High
1st Vice Pres: Frank Sossamon
2ndVice Pres: Joe Cash
Secretary: Shirley Poole
Treasurer: Anne Scruggs
The Rhythm N’ Blues/Beach Music Hall of Fame was
founded in 1981. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to
preserve the unique form of American Music-Rhythm N’
Blues and a portion of it presently so popular in the
southeast-Beach Music; and to honor those artists,
songwriters, disc jockeys, executives, and others who had
an integral part in creating, performing, promotion or
anything else to do with this music.
Rhythm N’ Blues is the forerunner of the biggest music
phenomenon in musical history-Rock & Roll-and yet when
honors for Rock & Roll have been passed out, it is as
though it all began with Elvis Presley or The Beatles.
Members of the Hall of Fame feel that these non-honored
people, especially the performing artists were some of
the most talented in history. Who can forget Roy
Hamilton, Jackie Wilson, Fats Domino, The Drifters,
The Coasters, The Platters, Otis Redding, Billy
Stewart, The Clovers, Clyde McPhatter and many
others. Believe it or not they have been almost non-
recognized for either their talents or their contributions.
In addition, the financial exploitation of these artists
would make for a good horror story. The Rhythm N’ Blues
Hall of Fame is out to rectify this inequity!
FUTURE EVENTS: 1. A fund raising concert Wednesday,
June 2, 1982 at the Spartanburg, SC Fairgrounds
beginning at 7:00 PM. Artists performing are – The
Clovers, The Diamonds, The Tams, Billy Scott & The
Georgia Prophets and The Catalinas. Tickets are $10.00
in advance and $12.00 at the gate.
2. August, 1982-the first inductees will be announced.
Also to be announced will be the date and location of the
induction ceremonies.
3. Miscellaneous events throughout the year-to be
announced as scheduled.
