Media
"Jimmy Velvit was born in Coalgate, Oklahoma on January 11, 1941. After living there a short time he moved to Dallas with his parents. It was Jimmy's father who introduced him to the guitar and singing. Jimmy decided to give up singing to serve a short hitch in the Air Force. After completing his military service he cut a record Sometimes At Night (1961) which really gave him his start in the entertainment field. He then went on to record a song titled We Belong Together which made musical history from coast to coast. Its release has since caused even more demand for his personal appearances throughout the country." - Excerpt from a February 14, 1964 concert tour program starring Jimmy Velvit, Bill Black Combo, Gene Summers, Arthur K. Adams and The Imperials

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.”
—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
