Dorothy Ashby was a jazz harpist who made her first headlining album in 1957 on the Regent label.

O.F.R. [Red and Yellow Explosion Vinyl]
Nitro was a short-lived hair metal group whose O.F.R. was first released thirty years ago. Legend has it, stands for "out-f******-'rageous." It's an apt title, as Nitro's is as over-the-top as any of the other hair metal groups that reigned during the tail end of the '80s. Aside from their image (think stories-high hair and a trademark four-neck guitar) Jim Gillette's delivers with his other-worldly pipes. His impressive and very possibly superhuman high-pitched voice is matched with Michael

He paved the way for African-American artists as the first black man to host a nationwide television variety show, and quietly but devotedly crusaded for civil rights.
