Abstract:

This is the story of Milton Bullock, born in Edgecombe County, who in his youth shined shoes on the streets of Tarboro, NC. He was introduced to 'The Platters' in 1957 and in 1964 was offered a job as a tenor with the group. He would also make several appearances in major motion pictures. He now lives in Princeville, NC, where he helped found the Lions Club Chapter there and became founder of 'Do It For The Children Initiatives, Inc.,' in which he uses his celebrity status to help at risk youth.
