To be Announced!

CHARLES WRIGHT and his family arrive from Mississippi to California in the early `50s with great expectations of a better life from the arduous share copping they left behind. While in school, young Charles falls under the spell of magical Doo Wop vocal harmony groups and instantly realizes that it is within the wide world of music making that he rightfully belongs. Getting started, he studies under the great JESSE BELVIN, finds himself the leader of a group dubbed THE SHIELDS, travels across the country to New York City where he begins to feel the hard knocks of show business. He learns how to be a responsible leader in spite of group mates that are not always as professional and dependable as he needs them to be. Sticking closer to home, Charles teaches himself to read music and becomes an in demand session guitarist. He also begins to experience the calls of love, sex and relationships with a variety of colorful women. All the while, Charles begins to have a vision of a full-fledged show band that would give everyone else on the scene Pure-D-HELL. With a lil’ help from BILL COSBY following a dazzling Sunset Blvd. debut, his group is signed to Warner Bros. in the mid-`60s. Their name: The Watts 103rdStreet Rhythm Band. As the band struggles at first under an unfit ‘producer,’ Charles endures a series of exploits – sometimes serious, often-times comical – with the police, ladies of the night, family members, band members, movie stars, music legends, lovers, haters shady record executives and more. Perhaps most painfully, he learns the bitter lesson that his very own people – Black People – often let him down as much or more than the White people in power one would expect to be his worst enemies during the racially tumultuous civil rights decades of the `60s and `70s. The breadth and depth of Charles Wright’s mind-blowing life are on full, compelling display throughout, revealing the makings of a man, the evolution of a musician and his path to righteously becoming a thriving icon of vibrant Black History. “Have Mercy!”

Wright’s book, is about a young boy and his family’s trials and tribulations on a cotton plantation owned by a cruel sharecropper named Edward Miles, who was born with an unfair advantage, which he uses to dominate his subjects. At the critical age of eight, the boy’s father demanded he pick no less than a hundred pounds a day, which according the author, he has yet been able to deliver. But any time he failed, he faced yet another one of his father’s vicious whippings. His father was involved with the cruel hearted landowner, who owned four hundred acre as of fertile land, which he and his family were obligated to work 40 acre of. This of course, called for an oversized family, which at that time was a sharecropper’s dream. Continue Reading
