Masco Young's Entertainment Notebook By MASCO YOUNG i CHUCK JACKSON, a slim-! built fellow with cat-like agility, reminds you more of a light weight prizefighter than a top rhythm and blues artist. In fact, boxing was once a part of Chucii's life when he was grow ing up in Pittsburgh, Pa., his hometown. There’s always plenty of evidence of pugilism in his- background when you drop around backstage to see him in his drcssingroom. Chances are that you'll find Chuck sparring tvilh his road manager, or any one who likes a little friendly punch scsiion.

It’ll start next fall and will run for 26 weeks, which means I’ll have to do only 13 ' shows because after the first 13 are run they’ll start doing re- I runs.’. I “And what kind of show will it be,”, was our next question. “It’s calk'd ‘Chuck Jackson ' Presents Rhyllim and Blues', • nd I'il do several tunes, and I'll have some guest artists and a regular band.” “And who’s going to pick up ^ the tab?’ | Here he la\ighed again, flash- j ing that winning smile that has' carried him quite a distance in! a few short years as a Wand recording star. “I have two | sponsors already — and I can . tell you this much — one is a 1 national beverage company, soft | drink that is. The other one 1 we’re not certain about, but | we’re positive that we’ll have, the two to share the costs by the time we get ready to' start swinging.” When we first met Chuck Jackson back in 1950 he was a very much unknown struggling vocalist, who was satisfied with earning Uls dr sly bread with $10.00 per night gigs in small clubs — mainly as a temporary thing, since Ije had serious, burning ambition to become a great rhythm and blues artist. “I don’t expect to make it over night, but one day I hope to make it,” he used to tell us. Our very first meeting with Chuck came when we were giv ing him a life in our auto to a i record hop promoted by Mitch Thomas, the Wilmington, Del and Philadelphia dis jockey who was then on WTEL radio station and giving record hop.s at the New Carme Skating Rink on Germantown Avenue. Chuck was just another struggl ing artist on Mitch's show, since the big star of the was Lloyd Price. When Mi^c h Thomas introduced b c. said: “And here’s another up- and-coming recording star, Charles Johnson . . We later suggested to him that he use the name Chuck Jackson, instead of Charle."! Jackson, and he would finU that there would be fewer mistakes at introducing him. When he signed with Florence Greenberg's Wand label and re corded -“I Don’t Wanna Cry,' he told them to up the name Chuck Jackson on the record. And il has been Cimck Jackson even since. Before we left him that day Chuck Jackson promised that ho would let us know first when his television show would start, and on what channel, and the names of his final sponsors.

Sanford told a cheer ing crowd of members of the (ith district, Omega Psi Phi Fra ternity, meeting in an annual ' session at A. and T. College Sat urday, that the Negro was en titled to enjoy the rights and priviliges to use his talent hi every phase of human endeavor in North Carolina and that ^ North Carolina was going to see to it that he did have such a , right. The Chief Executive was hero to reccive an award as the “Citizen of the Year’ from the Greek letter organization, for outstanding work done in the field of civil rights. He is the second non-Negro to receive such an award from the fraternity. It is to be remembereo that Judge E. Waites Waring receiv ed a smiliar award, for his forth rightness in South Carolina, stjiiie years ago. Governor Sanford said that the Negro deserved to fight for the right to have his being like any other citizen of the state and that no one 'fiSftd the right, or should adojpt th^ privillge to deny that right. He said, “Wc ^ must move forward as one peo j p 1 e or not move forward ai all.’ He continued, “There must bo no white or Negro approach to our forward movement. We must move as ciUzdns of this ' great state and I pledge you ! that this is going to be done.’ i He praised the Negro for his I tolerance and patience and said that the protest now being used was, in most instances, justified. He warned, the legislation and courts, wore not the final an-, swers. He charged that it was an individual matter that had to begin in the hearts of both white and Negro individuals. He closed his speech by say ing that Negroes must be will ing to accept the responsibilities attendant to desired rights and priviliges. He admonished the brothers to go out and help to prepare members of their race to become qaulified and pre pared to compete with equal and fair competition for desired rights and priviliges. The award was made by Dr. Waltdr L. Ridley, president, Elizabeth City State College and a member of the fraternity. The Rev. I. DeQuincy Newman, fieM secretary for tlie NAACP, was given "the “Omega Man of the Year’ award for his untiring ef forts, in the field of civil rights in his state. This presentation was made by Rev. J. Robert Nelson. The award ceremonies were attended by wives and friends of Omega men. Mayor DavT*, Schenck welcome the visitors to the city and Dr. L. C. Dowdy, acting president A. and T.
