I didn't see the Tavis Smiley Show, but I'm pretty sure it's Hugh. If you want to read a really enjoyable, fascinating book, read Hugh's autobiograhy, "Still Grazing." He really paints an incredible picture of music during the 60s when her first arrived in the US to study in Manhattan. He crossed paths with some great artists, and he was one of the forces behind the performance part of the "Rumble in the Jungle" Ali/Foreman fight. You might enjoy the first or second article in this blog, which was an interview with Hugh.Island of Spicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14472183270050112767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17251744.post-1163395918741180912006-11-12T22:31:00.000-07:002006-11-12T22:31:00.000-07:00Lovely, informative article.<BR/>Stumbled on it looking for a south African musician I heard on Tavis Smiley tonight. He returned to S. Africa in the 90's after graduating from the Manhatten School of Music, assisted by Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba, and enjoying a fruitful career in the US. Missed his name. Can you help me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
