David Cooler, a two time winner of the Carolina Music Awards, “Country Male Vocalist” of the Year 2008 and 2009. He has shared the stage with many artists including: Willie Nelson, Kenny Chesney, Rodney Adkins, John Anderson, Gretchen Wilson, Montgomery Gentry, Kansas, Zach Brown, Colt Ford and many more.

Born and raised in Bamberg, South Carolina he has continued to hone, not only his songwriting skills, but his vocals and musicianship. David is recognised as being one of the best guitarists and vocalists in country music. This has not gone unnoticed and he has built up an impressive fan base in the USA.
David says, “My music spans most genres and my stories churn out a soulful rock music mix which has a country, R ‘n’ B and bluesy style. My music is a form of self-expression and communication: it flows from within.”

David was recently signed to UK music publisher, Tabitha Music Limited and his music is now picking up airplay across Europe and Asia as well as other parts of the world. He is currently on a round of interviews on radio stations in England, Ireland, Portugal and the US.

Graham Sclater CEO, Tabitha Music Limited said, “I really believe that someone with David’s genuine all round talent will soon be recognised worldwide. He is a superb songwriter, not only with his non-contrived country songs but other styles, which for a pro-active music publisher is a wonderful writer to have in your stable. Stephen Wrench and his team at US based Musik & Film will be working with us to promote him to more than 250,000 radio stations across the world.”

His songs, “Dog huntin’ man,” “Home” and the attached track “Country to the bone” have already been aired on many radio stations in the United States but now they will be heard across the world. The original recording of his classic track, ”Country to the bone” was in excess of six minutes long and it was decided to edit to increase his prominence across the airwaves.

Enjoy David’s edited version of his track “County to the bone” TABCDS 201, (GBLBK1500164) and look out for his new album, coming soon on Tabitha Records.

It was decided to include both versions in this DPK for those presenters and DJ’s that dare play the full version.

The House Of Beauty Records - The Beauty Shop That Caused A Revolution

WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- It's that time of year again that we attempt to show of signs of love and humanity for a couple weeks out of every year.  As for me, I celebrate Christmas everyday and as always our humble beginnings with the start of this lead singer of the Peppermints, LEE ROGERS CRATON, known as the "Prince of Detroit" back in the days.  The Peppermints' first single that Ms. Carmen C. Murphy produced that was not a Gospel record and the first record produced in Detroit under a AF of M AFTRA Licenses that costed Ms. Murphy $5,000 cash money just to press her first  record.

Between 1954 and 1963, all of the records that were pressed by the new recording companies in Detroit in  all the neighborhoods, records were pressed under Carmen C. Murphy licenses.  She is truly the queen of the recording business in early Detroit music scene.

First let us understand that a lot of gold mining was going on in Detroit in the early 1950's.  The rulers of the record world were from Hollywood, California by the names of the Bhari Brothers who owned and controlled the RnB records market with their Crown Jubilee/Kent/Modern/StarDay labels with great artists from Detroit with the money flooding back to California by the buckets load.

You have to have a pressing licensing to press any records back in the early 1950's.  Murphy who just had crossed over the $250,000 dollar mark for her House Of Beauty Cosmetics and hair straightening products for people of color began pressing records for all the small black labels in the area.

The House of Beauty Records company came about when James Cleveland and his Voice of the Tabernacle needed a sponsor on the early morning Sunday programs of Black churches that had from 15 minute sermons, up to a full one hour full gospel shows.

Murphy said to have sponsored his church and choir for the first couple of years.  Then it was asked where can we purchase your records?  As the Gospel music of that day began to sell volumes, Murphy was asked if she could think about recording other types of music, and the answer was the Peppermints with Lee Rogers.

As always during these times, the musical  "children" of Lee Rogers which includes, RG Ingersoll of Hotrax Records in Neveda, Debby Clinton of Platinum Sound Records in Mountain Park, Oklahoma and Kenneth Howard Smith of SDC OmniMedia Group.  Smith reseeded D-Town Records back to the Hanks Family two (2) years ago, with Ingersoll, Clinton, Smith and Tony Craton of Jantony Records in Detroit, Michigan with thirty (30) per cent of the ownership being retained by the "kids" with the controlling seventy (70%) being under BHS Enterprises in Atlanta, Georgia.

Carmen C. Murphy's long arms of the vinyl business included Theola Killgore's "The Love Of My Man" on HOB's Serroc Records label, which was produced by Ed Townsend who would later write and produce for Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" among other great songs.
