In 1965, a young radio disc jockey from Brinkley, Arkansas named
Alvertis Isbell joined a fledging record company in Memphis, Tennessee
to help promote the music it was churning out in an old converted movie
theater. Decades later, in 2009, he became the chairman of the board of
directors of the Memphis Music Foundation (MMF), the main organization
charged with promoting the city’s musical legacy, current artists, and
future plans. That small label was Stax Records and Alvertis Isbell
became known as Al Bell, one of the driving forces that helped change
music history forever.
Today, the Memphis Music Foundation and the Stax Museum of American
Soul Music, located at the original site of Stax Records, are proud to
congratulate Bell on receiving the highest honor the music industry
offers, the 2011 GRAMMY® Trustees Award, given by the Board of Trustees
of the Recording Academy. Bell now joins a pantheon of musical icons who
have received the prestigious honor, including The Beatles, Walt
Disney, George and Ira Gershwin, Berry Gordy, Duke Ellington and Stax
Records’ co-founder Estelle Axton. To continue, Please click “MORE”!

MARK JANUARY 22, 2011 AS SAM COOKE DAY!
Had he lived, Sam Cooke would be 80 on January 22, 2011. Though his tragic death, at the age of 33, deprived successive generations of new music from Cooke, known as ‘the man who invented soul,’ his legacy and influence endure.
His own catalog of original recordings continues to connect with music consumers who are now offered the possibility of hearing the core of his catalog in high-resolution digital audio by agreement between ABKCO Records and HDTracks. Four albums, Sam Cooke at the Copa, Keep Movin’ On, Ain’t That Good News and the career-encompassing compilation Portrait of a Legend 1951 – 1964 are soon to be available for download in 88.2kHz/24bit audio.
