Abstract:

When Chuck Morrison graduated from high school in Burlington in 1984, he wrote in a friend's yearbook that he would \"one day run a major record label or compete with them.\" He is the founder of Charlotte-based MoRisen Records. The company has not risen as far as he would like, but with a growing profile and roster and two talked about June releases from The Sammies and Elevator Action, MoRisen is poised to become North Carolina's next brand-name independent.

Abstract:

From the late 1950s to the early 1980s, David Lee, aged 74, of Cleveland County had a diverse music career as songwriter, performer, producer and manager. He wrote successful songs for other singers for decades; yet, he never received the recognition he deserved until recently. A new album compiles Lee's best work from the sixteen records he released over the years.
