The Tiny Record Empire in Cleveland

[JSngry]

Thomas Boddie never had aspirations to build another Motown, but the legacy left in his sealed-up studio is an important piece of musical history.

Numero Uno does great work - my only complaint (re the article):

" A lot of the music Boddie recorded was junk -- "tedious white gospel quartets"

this is unfortunate because older white gospel music is poorly documented today. That's the stuff I'd like to hear.

sounds like a bit of Crow Jim, on Numero Uno's part.
