Nappy Brown Albums
A diaper (, North American English) or a nappy (British English, Australian English, Hiberno-English) is a type of underwear that allows the wearer to urinate or defecate without using a toilet, by absorbing or containing waste products to prevent soiling of outer clothing or the external environment. When diapers become wet or soiled, they require changing, generally by a second person such as a parent or caregiver. Failure to change a diaper on a sufficiently regular basis can result in skin problems around the area covered by the diaper. Diapers are made of cloth or synthetic disposable materials. Cloth diapers are composed of layers of fabric such as cotton, hemp, bamboo, microfiber, or even plastic fibers such as PLA or PU, and can be washed and reused multiple times. Disposable diapers contain absorbent chemicals and are thrown away after use. Diapers are primarily worn by infants, toddlers who are not yet toilet trained, and by children who experience bedwetting. Th ...

Have Mercy Baby
"Have Mercy Baby" is a popular rhythm and blues song, written by Billy Ward and Rose Marks, recorded by The Dominoes in Cincinnati, produced by Ralph Bass, and released by Federal Records in 1952. It was Number One on the R&B Charts for ten non consecutive weeks. Description Clyde McPhatter's roots were in the black church. The song is essentially the gospel song "Have Mercy, Jesus" sung in the call-and-response style of a gospel quartet, although it is in the straight twelve-bar blues form that gospel singers disdained. In the first chorus McPhatter simply follows the melody, but subsequently he freely improvises in the gospel style with short but spectacular melismas, stringing out phrases to overlap the backup singers responses, interjecting screams and ''yeahs'', shouting a gospel funk. The backup band lays down the rhythm and provides the expected tenor sax solo. “Have Mercy Baby” would be the final Dominoes recording to feature original bass singer, Bill Brown on b ...

In 1945 ''The State'' finally purchased ''The Record'' from International Paper Co. ''The State'' for $550,000, to form the State-Record Company. The company was purchased by Knight-Ridder in 1986, and publication of the ''Columbia Record'' ceased on April 1, 1988.

By 1987, the paper's circulation was only 27,000 of which only 15,000 were exclusive ''Record'' subscribers. The rest also subscribed to ...
