(Wr M.Moore, Farakin Music BMI)

18902 ~ Sick And Tired Of Waiting

Rite account # 1898


Elyria, Ohio Garage.

This is the second pressing, according to the [very informative] Buckeyebeat.com Shademen page :

Al [Geraci] became the band's official manager and the Verann team booked them at Cleveland Recording, where they cut two of Mike Moore's original songs, "Sick and Tired" and "That's Tuff". Mike was the musical leader of the band - he chose and arranged most of the band's songs, in additon to playing keyboards and much of the lead vocals (he's lead on the two recordings). The Kings [Joe and James King] pressed up 500-1000 copies on their Verann label and used their publishing, Farakin music. Al Geraci and the Kings started to push "Sick and Tired" to local radio stations. WWIZ in Lorain gave it steady play, as did WREO in Ashtabula. The record did sell in the Lorain County area, but really took off in Ashtabula, and the Shademen made their way out east for many gigs, including a autograph session and on-air interview/phone call-in with WREO jock Dave Barry. The 45 sold out of the first pressing and a second pressing of 1000 copies was done. A quick trip to the collectors corner - the first pressings have dark blue horizontal lines, while the second pressings have a more sky-blue label and black lines. Steve Olenek had been drafted and left the band shortly before the 45 was recorded.

  • Of the journey he says, "Jesus did it, I give Him all the glory".
  • He has traveled constantly with his wife, Denise, since their marriage in 1990.
Above information is from the official website of Arthur Blessitt. You'll find there fascinating facts and figures.
and relations of his journeys around the globe. Here is an excerpt of his journey in Paris :

Paris: The Arc de Triomphe stood in splendor in front of me at one end of the famed Champs Elysee. I was carrying the cross in France. Some ministers in Paris had come out on the highway and invited me to preach. They called the news media and planned to have a few friends meet me at the Arc de Triomphe. They gave me the date and time I was to meet them there.

I expected only a few people, but upon arrival, there were thousands of people and music was playing. I thought it must be the Salvation Army brass band. Every follower of Jesus in Paris had come to greet us.

Napoleon had begun building this memorial and now it was to be used for a Jesus rally. I was excited! We had difficulty getting through the crowd until we found a pass under the street. I pulled the cross by my side, as the underpass was too low to keep the cross on my shoulder.

As I started up the stairs to the Arc people crowded the way, but moved as they saw the cross. Up we went and then I saw soldiers in a long line from the street to the Arc de Triomphe. As I pressed near, the soldiers saw me and let me pass.

At this point I knew something must be wrong. A beautiful red carpet covered the stones and the soldiers were standing with guns at attention. Crowds of people were pressed together in excitement. My motto is, “If ever in doubt, do it!'

I stepped out on the red carpet. What a sight! A big cross, a man on the red carpet with soldiers in bright-colored uniforms. I smiled and raised my hand in the one-way Jesus sign, then called to the crowd, "Jesus t'amie! Jesus loves you!"

Photographers and television cameramen were crowding around to record the event. Then, as I arrived under the archway, plainclothesmen grabbed me, pinning me to the stone wall. People were yelling as though it was an assassination attempt. It was quite a disturbance.

"What are you doing!" a man demanded in his French accented English.

"I'm carrying the cross around the world."

"Well, where are you coming from with that thing?"

"California," I replied. "Is this the Jesus Rally?"

"The what?"

"Is this the Jesus Rally?"

"No! It's a memorial service for the Unknown Soldier and President Pompedieu is due here any moment."

They finally turned around and put me back in the underpass. Later the pastors found me.

"Oh, we are so sorry, we gave you the wrong day."

For days after people were coming up to me and saying, "Oh, we saw you at the Arc de Triomphe." "You were in the news!"

Little Junior & Butler-Aires

Fuller 6438
Charles Fuller Productions

11883 ~ Jackie, Don't You Weep
11884 ~ That's The Matter With The Church Today

Black gospel, Tampa, Florida
Clip (both sides)


« Jackie Don’t You Weep », Little Junior and the Butler-Aires implored in 1964. Just like Jesus, the president was not dead ; God led him to a better land and his spirit would live on. Although Kennedy was « rich and highly educated, » Little Junior, like other singers, both religious and secular, saw him as the best friend the poor man ever had. When Junior sang that Kennedy « brought peace with the foreign land, » he must have had the Soviet Union in mind. Why he sang that « Oswald lost his nerve » remains obscure ; perhaps he sikmply needed a rhyming word for « curve . »

You know his time had come and he had to go.

The president was rich and highly educated,
Nineteen Sixty-three, he was assassinated.
Now, President Kennedy was a great, great man,
For he brought peace with the foreign land,
He did the things that he knew was right,
Things that was pleasing in God’s sight.

Chorus :
I said : « Jackie, don’t you weep no more, » (3x)
And I know his time had come and he had to go.

Listen ! I wonder how Oswald felt,
An innocent man that he killed.
He shot the President, as he rounded the curve,
That’s when Oswald lost his nerve,
Feel the shot struck the presidentt’s head,
Jesus made up the man, his dying bed.
He’s not dead ; for his spirit will ive on,
For my God heard when the president groaned.
He took the president (Lord have mercy !) by the hand,
To lead him on to a better land.
And I know we’ll miss him, oh, so bad,
For he was the best friend that a poor man ever had.

Excerpt from "Kennedy's blues: African-American blues and gospel songs on JFK", Guido van Rijn and Brian Ward, University Press of Mississippi, 2007


Charles Fuller Productions was owned by Charles Fuller Hunt.

John R. Brumage , chief engineer at CFP (1964-1969) :

Charles Fuller was a small Television and Radio commercial producer with a great radio voice. I discovered him in the Yellow Pages, and hung around until he eventually hired me. Part of my deal was that i could use the facilities for my own projects during off hours, and we would split the proceeds, if any. All the equipment was home brew or radio station leftovers, we never had more than two track recorders until after the success of " "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron," a multi million selling novelty single.

Charles Fuller Hunt, was an innovator in film for 30-second TV commercials. During my employment there, CFP won several awards including an ADDY award for "Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream."

Leroy Martin on Delta

Leroy Martin and The Rebels

Delta 705


KTIB Thibodaux


CP-1462 ~ Keen Teen Baby

CP-1463 ~ Upon This Day





Born in Golden Meadow in 1929, Leroy was mesmerized at an early age by the hillbilly recordings of Jimmie Rodgers. Many years later he repaid this inspirational debt when he presented his rare Jimmie Rodgers picture record, given to him originally by Jimmie’s widow, to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.

Leroy started playing music seriously in 1947, as a guitarist with Dudley Bernard ‘s combo the Southern Serenaders, waking up to his native Cajun music only when Vin Bruce began recording for Columbia in the early fifties. In 1954 Martin left the Southern Serenaders to get married, and spent his honeymoon in Memphis, where he saw the last Barnum and Bailey vaudeville show and met the young Elvis Presley. Music was at the crossroads, and Leroy was there. Quickly displaying his musical vision, he formed the Rebels in 1955 to play « semicountry and rock » - in other words, rockabilly. Two years later he made his first record, « Keen Teen Baby »/ »Upon This Day », which he released on his own Delta label. « It was meant to sound like ‘Decca’, « he says of the name, « only major labels were selling then. I pressed 500 copies and was left with 400 ! ». After this he played with the local Dominoes group before joining the Vikings, who were backing his cousin Joe Barry.

Leroy made his name as a record producer in the early sixties, first with Vin Bruce (« Jole Blon » for Swallow) and then with Joe Barry (« I’m A Fool To Care » for Jin). Often using Cosimo’s studio in New Orleans, he also supervised sevral sessions for Cajun record man Huey Meaux, notably with Jimmy Donley, Mickey Gilley, and Barbara Lynn. He had not forsaken his own recording career ; as Lee Martin he had a handful of worthwile swamp-pop singles for Jin, including Jimmy Donley’s « BornTo Be A Loser » and Rollee McGill’s georgeous « There Goes That Train. » Later he recorded for the Houma label owned by Eldridge Robichaux and Rod Rodrigue. More recently he has been content to act as manager for Vin Bruce, and to play bass guitar in Vin’s group. Through the years Leroy has maintained an active interest in radio. Making his debut in 1948, he became a well-known disc jockey over KTIB Thibodaux, hosting the « Leroy Martin Show » and playing country and Cajun records. As the « Cajun Cousin » he still broadcast weekly over KTIB. He has also composed over eighty songs, written columns for several Louisiana weekly papers, and even compiled a Vin Bruce discography? Incredibly, his involvment in music has always been secondary to his vocation as chief deputy assessor of Lafourche Parish.

From Wayne Parks Ministries website :
Wayne Parks, son of Rev. Al Parks, was born in Roanoke, Virginia. He grew up under the training of a classic Pentecostal background, and was taught the ways of God from a young child. He was born again at a young age.

As a teenager, he began going with his father in evangelistic ministry. In his mid-teens, Wayne Parks began his own ministry. Eventually, he came under the mentoring of anointed revivalist and tent evangelist A. A. Allen.

Throughout his twenties he maintained a traveling itinerary of tent revivals, ministering healing, miracles, and hard hitting preaching to multitudes over the years, with tremendous success by the power of the Holy Ghost.

In 1979, at 31 years of age, under the specific direction of the Holy Ghost, Wayne Parks moved his ministry headquarters to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and opened Full Gospel Church of the Living God; and continues the pastoral work there.
