We are deeply saddened by the passing of Chairmen of the Board's General Johnson. General Johnson was an icon in the industry and an inspiration to many. He was an amazing singer/song-writer and will be greatly missed.
Also, as many of you may know, one of the Founding Members of The Original Tams, the Legendary Charles Pope, is suffering with the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease. Alzheimer's currently affects an estimated 5.1 million Americans. In an effort to take action against this disease, Charles' family has founded the non-profit organization, FOR THE LOVE OF OUR FATHER’S. Please visit www.ForTheLoveOfOurFathers.org to learn how YOU can help..... Donations are welcomed and encouraged. Thank you for your support. Charles is currently doing very well under the care of his adoring and dedicated wife, Dianne. He is still very involved with The Tams, and along with his son, better known as Little Redd, is carrying on The Tams tradition.
On a more pleaseant note, Little Redd has been nominated as "Entertainer of the Year" by the Carolina Beach Music Association Awards. Please visit www.cammy.org for information on joining and voting for Little Redd! PLEASE spread the word - we all know what an energetic, extraordinary entertainer that Little Redd is - let's do what we can to show our appreciation by voting for him!! More information to follow....
As always, thanks for supporting The Tams. My apologies for the scarce newsletters....
