Poets and Prophets: Salute to Singer-Songwriter Jackie DeShannon, Saturday
Afternoon, April 6, 2024 at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
Celebrated singer-songwriter, and visionary Jackie DeShannon will make a rare
appearance in Nashville at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in the
CMA Theater (224 Rep. John Lewis Way S Nashville, TN) on Saturday April 6, 2024
at 2:30 PM. The iconic songstress will be discussing her trailblazing songwriting
career and her country music roots.

Now based in California, DeShannon was born in the small town of Hazel,
Kentucky. She became a child Radio performer in Kentucky and Illinois and later in
her teens she began a long recording career that would embrace, country,
rockabilly, folk, pop, gospel, and R&B. Her song “Buddy” a Buddy Holly tribute
which she wrote and recorded in Nashville in 1958 became a regional rockabilly
hit. DeShannon moved to LA in 1960 and debuted on the national charts with her
cover of the Bob Wills country standard “Faded Love” in 1963. She scored her first
major pop hit in 1965 with a soulful rendition of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s
“What the World Needs Now is Love”. Her version of the song was inducted into
the Library of Congress last year.

One of the first female singer-songwriters of the rock & Roll era, DeShannon was
elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame for penning hits for herself and for others.
She provided six chart singles for Brenda Lee alone, including 1961’s “Dum Dum.”
“When You Walk in the Room” was a huge success for The Searchers during the
British Invasion, and decades later Pam Tillis’s version reached the Top Five of the
country charts. Bruce Springsteen’s version is still heard during his concerts. In
1969 Jackie and her brother wrote the anthemic song, recorded by her and a
thousand others “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.” “Bette Davis Eyes” a timeless hit
for Kim Carnes earned Jackie the 1982 Grammy for Song of the Year. DeShannon’s
other credits include: “Breakaway” (Irma Thomas), “Come Stay with Me”
(Marianne Faithfull), “(He’s) The Great Imposter” (the Fleetwoods). Her songs
have also been performed by the Byrds, Ella Fitzgerald, Al Green, Annie Lennox,
Van Morrison, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen and dozens of other artists.

The program will also include video clips of Jackie performing with Country Hall of
Fame members Eddy Arnold, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, the Everly, Brothers,
and Willie Nelson. She will also sign commemorative Hatch Show Print Posters
following the program in addition to copies of the newly-released historical
collection, “The Sherry Lee Show,” of Jackie’s early country performances on the
radio. Presented in partnership with Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival. Program
ticket included with Museum admission. Free to Museum members.

Listen to “Rescue Dogs Rock NYC To Host ‘Cocktails for Canines’ Gala to Raise Funds for Animals in Need” on Spreaker.

The not-for-profit animal rescue organization, Rescue Dogs Rock NYC (RDRNYC) will host their ‘Cocktails for Canines’ annual gala on Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm, at Versa, 218 West 35th Street, New York City. The cocktail and dinner reception gala will raise funds and awareness to help animals in need and will be co-chaired by Georgina Bloomberg and Lara Trump.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC’s goal is to raise awareness of the ever-growing plight of homeless animals in the United States, in shelters as well as those abandoned in the streets. There are way too many fantastic animals that are euthanized every day just because they are homeless. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC introduces these animals to the public and educates them that unwanted companion animals are not damaged goods or unworthy but can be fostered into wonderful family pets. Sadly, the abuse, neglect, cruelty, and medical cases cost shelters the most money, and often are the first animals to euthanized.

The mission of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is the rescue of these animals and provide them with immediate emergency care, medical or otherwise, they need and deserve. Besides medical treatments, the animals are rehabilitated through trainers and behavior specialists to help overcome past trauma. The organization does not have a physical shelter, and relies on a network of volunteers, fosters and adopters to welcome these animals into their homes and provides them with a nurturing and caring environment.

The Charity has acquired their own rescue and rehabilitation center in Suffolk County on Long Island giving Rescue Dogs Rock NYC a home to care for dogs in need. This allows the charity to save many more needy and deserving dogs. The center sits on half an acre and allows indoor/outdoor kennels and has lots of outdoor space.

The development of the center is a project which has been 3 years in the making, so Rescue Dogs Rock NYC are excited to have come this far. However, the real work comes in as the center is in disrepair and has no significant upkeep done in probably 30 years. The charity anticipates the new rescue center will cost approximately $350,000 to get it where it needs to be and ready to open and start taking in dogs.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC’s outreach and education is spread through their website and social media, as well as community events such as their annual gala.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is a 501(c)(3), volunteer and foster based rescue. For more information, visit: rescuedogsrocknyc.org.

I/Our Collective will be cohosting the Chinese New Year Peace Concert with the United Nations Commutech Group (https://uncgtv.co/) on the 3rd February, along with the Opening Ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. This will be the first official announcement of Our Collective sale of a $100M Ming Vase generously granted by our benefactor Max Leong (my fellow Singaporean). We plan to sell this priceless gem of China the traditional way (there have already been expression of interests from a Swiss buyer), but also we plan to digitize this gem into a NFT. I have also decided to NFT all Our Collective Members and Partners into a Our Collective Collectible Collection (CCC), similar to the montage created by Beeple (which sold for $69M by Sotheby’s). I will work with Andrea as Our Collective Digital Curator (which is also our designated Curator for the Ming Vase) to create these upcoming fabulous artworks. There are of course many talented
artists and performer within Our Collective stable – I spoke yesterday to the amazingly beautiful and talented Amanda (congrats to her signing up with Sony Records, and also onto several upcoming big movie projects) and her renowned manager Ralph Cooper (his father was the one who gave birth to the world famous venue Apollo), and I will be NFTing her beauty and artistry into Our CCC. Vincent Lyn (World Kickboxing Champion, Movie Star with Jackie Chan, Grammy-nominated Composer, and founder of We Can Save Children) will be playing his latest Grammy-nominated music video at our Chinese New Year event, and to which I plan to also NFT for Our CCC.

I will be reaching out individually with each of you talented and influential Members in the coming days to coordinate your involved in this exciting new Our Collective Digital Worlds, and telling you the digital platforms that I/We plan to create, promote and sell Our CCC to the eagerly awaiting World!
