Unknown to the general public, plans were being made for two history making events that would target the large Black populations of Saginaw and Flint, Michigan in addition to Bay City, Midland and surrounding areas.
A recording studio (ULTRA-CITY) owned and operated by a well known recording band director and leader was established. Also a Black family out of Detroit built a licensed FM radio station from the ground up.
I was at the right place at the right time.
About Me
- Dusty Cowboy
- I was born in Kensett, a small town in the state of Arkansas. I graduated from White County Training School. The guys always teased me about this… saying was I a graduate of a reformatory school. Not true. After high school I attended AM&N College, now UAPB in Pine Bluff, AR. finishing with a degree in Music Education. I’ve taught in the public school systems in the states of Michigan and Arkansas. In addition to my career in education, I’ve been a salesman of various goods and services. I’ve sold life insurance, copy machines and wine (bottled label, not bootleg). I have been self -employed in the home repair business and I’ve also worked in the entertainment industry. I was manager of a group called the Dusty Cowboys. Our lead singer was Sam Colley. The Dusty Cowboys performed in different clubs in the Detroit area. I was also the first sales manager of radio station WWWS now WTLZ in Saginaw, MI.
