He feels these things must be done to improve attendance and academic academic achievement of students in the public schools. Investigating the issue of minority front companies.

Let us know whether you agree or disagree with Boyce Mosley's methods. Join us next with voice, mostly live on City Line. Good afternoon and welcome to City Life. The focus of our discussion today is Northwestern High School and more specifically of general education. Indeed, and for the highlights of the issues, we took our City Line cameras to Northwestern High School this week to get some opinions of the students that attend that school. Built in the 1960s, Northwestern High School has an enrollment of approximately 1600 students, grades nine through 12. Many of the students come from lower middle class backgrounds. The racial composition of Northwestern high is 10% white and 90% black. At least 10% of the students are enrolled in vocational programs, with 90% enrolled in the general and college prep fields of study. Each day at Northwestern, there is a 15 to 20% truancy rate, causing school officials to implement procedures that have generated mixed reactions from students.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=18.96,161.62"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"A lot of people don't come to school. First of all, they get on a bus and they go home. So the call of parents is a very good idea. I feel as though it is wrong. I mean, if they don't bring a note, I can say. But, you know, not until I bring a note. I feel that he should not call the school. I think it's great because if students really are in school, they need somebody to tell them coming to school. I think it's good in a way, because then the parents can do something about it. But then again, it's kind of stupid because they should have notes. Sometimes it gets a little outrageous when they don't really have to go through it. They sit down and talk to that student and maybe that student getting something out before you involve the parents. Well, I think that's wrong also, because it should be the student's responsibility to come to school. And if they don't want to come to school, you know, the parents really can't do anything except say, I want you to go to school. But if the student really don't want to go, he won't go. I think it's a good policy because then invested parents know that the students aren't coming to school in the parachute. Notice this will happen. Then they should, you know, try and get the students coming to school if they talk to their child or punish them or whatever to get the child come to school. The school is important. And how do students feel about the talk of retracting the athletic programs? I don't think that that's too great. I think that, well, what the policy should be is that, well, you know, the athletes have to make a certain grade like maybe a 90 or something like it in every class, you know, instead of the athletic team.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=162.97,260.61"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"All it's all I don't think that's a very good idea. Most people in high school these days are there for athletics, and that's how they get their grades, you know, And the more you have, the better amount of students you have. A lot of people get scholarships to go to different colleges from Northwestern. So I don't think it should be dropped at all. I don't think they should drive it out because without school athletics, a half the students will even communist schools. And plus the school spirit would drop tremendously. I think it's wrong because some students just come to school just to play sports. It's sad to say, but some people just come to school just to play sports and it makes them apply themselves, you know, just a little bit harder. Let's take time to welcome the subject of these discussions, Mr. Boyce Mosley. Mr. Mosley. I think one of the interesting questions, particularly since a couple of the issues involved, are truancy and the athletic programs. A number of the students indicated that the lack of a athletic program might indeed encourage more truancy. Do you think that that's possible? Not necessarily. We have a student population, you said in that clip. 16 or 18 are youngsters. In other words, 1800 youngsters this year, let's say in our football team, they're in both varsity and junior varsity. We have a total of maybe 90, 9900 youngsters. So a very small portion of our total student body is involved in athletics. And so I don't think that that would have an adverse effect on truancy. I think what every school must do, we must firmly state the purpose of school. The purpose of school is to educate youngsters, to make certain that youngsters gain the basic skills they need in order to compete successfully in life.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=261.089,372.71"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But where do we get draw the line in terms of student morale, the students attitude towards learning. There's no such thing as draw the line. I take the position that if a youngster does not want to be in school, then he shouldn't be there. If you're 16 years of age or older, he has to make a commitment. And merely by dangling sports in front of him or a little incentive like that is not going to do it. Now, we have had athletics in our schools from the beginning of senior high school for the past 50, 60, 70 years. Has that improved our attendance? Has that improved the achievement of youngsters? We still have large numbers of youngsters still not attending school on a regular basis. We still have a large number of youngsters not achieving the level they should. Now you're talking about eliminating the entire scholastic program and not the intramural. Oh, yes. Well, let me clear clarify that position. As a principal of the school, I have to establish priorities, and my priorities must be based upon the needs of the school. And then after the priorities are established, then you have to allocate your resources in accordance to those priorities. If you have a number of priorities and limited resources, then those resources must go to your one, two, three and four priorities in that order. And what I'm saying now, at this point in time at our school, the priority of teaching the youngsters to read, to write, to compute and to think clearly is more important than athletics since we have a limited amount of money. How bad is the problem? How bad is not only at Northwestern High School, but city wide in terms of student achievement? Well, the high school level, we have two types of high schools in our city.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=373.16,482.42"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We have the citywide high schools. And those schools, youngsters are admitted on special qualifications, mainly test scores. Then we have our comprehensive high schools. All youngsters who do not go to citywide high schools get a comprehensive high scores. In our citywide high schools are the youngsters as measured by the California Achievement Test. At our school, we're at the 41st percentile in reading and the 44th percentile in math. What does that mean? That means that only 41% of our youngsters in reading and 44% of our youngsters in math come up to the national norm. That means that over 60% of our population is below the national norm and these two critical areas. No. In the citywide high schools, the high school with the highest percentile as poorly in the 80th percentile. So what I'm saying, I'm saying that it is my job to develop a program, create an atmosphere where our youngsters will major up to youngsters anywhere. I don't think we're doing that at this time. Well, you have obviously raised some issues not only here today, but in the past as well. And we're going to ask you to give us your feelings about those issues. We're going to conduct a special telephone survey here on City Line, and we'd like you to take the time and call. It's a one 900 7203720.

We are speaking with Mr. Boyce Mosley, principal of Northwestern High School. It's Mosley recently. Among other things, you've instituted some procedures to improve, rather improve attendance at Northwestern High School. Is it too early yet to tell whether that's having a positive effect? And what sort of things are you doing? Well, it is rather early. We've only been in school about a month, but I've been monitoring the daily absentee bulletin. And right now we're averaging about 85% average daily attendance, which is not bad considering last year that our average daily attendance was 70%. The average daily attendance across the city for comprehensive high schools, I think last year was in the neighborhood about 75%. So we're right now we're above the city average and we're far exceeding our average of last year. So I think we're getting I'm certain that we're getting positive results from this truancy program we've instituted. I bet he asked you what are some of the things that you're doing? What what are they? Well, we're doing several things. One, we have what we call a school watch in which we have asked the neighbors in the immediate area of the school and the merchants to call in. We have a number for them to call in when they see youngsters out on the street or youngsters in their shopping center. We also ask the merchants to not to serve youngsters in their establishment during the school hours. Then we have parent volunteers coming in on a daily basis, taking the daily absentee bulletin and calling the homes of the youngsters who appear on that bulletin, informing the parent that the youngster was not in school today. Then we have on Saturdays, we have sort of a round up where we have volunteers, about 40 youngsters and some people in the Urban League making calls to the homes, telling the parents how many days that week the youngsters missed and sending out letters to the parents of youngsters who've been absent.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=707.68,821.11"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Okay, let's take a call from home now. Hi, your live on City Line. CALLER. Okay, let's try another line. Oh, your live on City Line. Okay. Now, what kind of response have you been getting from school administrators to your approaches? Well, first, let me say that the superintendent, Mrs. Pender Hughes, has been very supportive of my efforts because I think a number of people, they get uncomfortable when a principal takes a hard stance. I sometimes wonder why, but I think they're fearful. And this is particularly true in the black community. The black community is extremely fearful when a principal establishes standards and expectations and demands that youngsters live up to those expectations. But we have to do that, particularly in among minority students, where they are the students who need the education the most. They are the students who are going to have to go up there and compete. And when they compete, they're not only competing with youngsters from Northwestern, my youngsters will be competing with youngsters from every city school throughout the country. So I want to make them competitive. Let's try the phones one more time. Hi, your live on City Line. Do you have a question? Okay. We're having some problems with the phone. We have a gentleman here from the studio audience. He'd like to ask the question. Yes, sir. Good morning. My name is Anthony Towns, and I'm from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. And my question is, do you think it's really fair that those individuals that are athletically inclined should be deprived of their chance to not only pursue their athletic abilities, but their academic abilities? Well, this program of mine, young man, would not deprive any youngster who has athletic ability of participating in a scholastic level.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=821.44,940.0"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"If I would have this, I would give those youngsters who are interested in interscholastic competition the transfer to schools that have it. But if Northwestern is considered to be what I call a zone school and you live in his own, why should you have to travel all the way across the city to go to a school where the academic standards maybe not too high, but not to your likings? When someone who lives in the area of Northwestern may like your program academically and also like it athletically, if you cut it out, then you're not only causing truancy, but you're losing students that you could have that would also build up your school. I must be concerned. Above developing a program with limited resources that will benefit youngsters in the area for which schools are built. When I have a student body, perhaps it's only on the 40th percentile in math and reading, and I have limited resources. I think it is my first responsibility to develop a program to strengthen that. It will be totally unfair for me to ignore that and then ask me to ignore it. I'm merely saying create a role model as we've done it poorly. Our athletic people and the people in our athletic program are the best students to poorly, poorly have a select population you can only get into poorly if you're at least at grade level in math and reading. We have youngsters in our comprehensive high school two and three years below grade level. We have no comprehensive high school. We have some interest in comprehensive high schools, getting the bombers and only reading to third and fourth grade level and what we have done too long in this country. We have fed our black youngsters and opium of sports to keep them quiet and they go out of the world able to pick a football, read a pass pattern, but not able to read a magazine, read a book, or read a newspaper.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=940.78,1053.82"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I am willing to take the risk.

MOSLEY It's two part part number one is in the corporate world, in the business world, they always speak about team spirit. You must employed the team spirit. How are we going to foster this understanding if we remove scholastic athletics? And the second part is I, myself, being a professional black who graduated from a predominately black city school, who owes everything I have in my career to the fact that I was an athlete and that kept me. Academically strong. Why can't we adjust our teaching methods to fit the children? Why must we adjust the children to them to fit the teaching methods? We must realign. If the child is interested in basketball, then let's build our program around basketball, because that's where his knowledge is. And we can then develop on him.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=1235.49,1377.81"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Then I try to put where children in round hole. Let me let Mr. Mosley answer. Thank you for the call. You mentioned, first of all, sir, developing team spirit and on attempting to develop team spirit. Team Spirit based upon academic accomplishment as opposed to based upon athletic accomplishment. Let us take Chrysler, for example. Chrysler has the company was in great trouble because they produced poor cars. And so the president of Chrysler developed the team spirit around excellence of production. How can you develop team spirit in an institution that's supposed to produce a product when these products are being recalled? Our business is education and the spirit that I'm trying to develop my youngster. Is this the team spirit of, hey, as a school team, let us do well. Let us get our test scores up. We're about education, not about sports. Sport is incidental. Well, answer to your second part that there are certain things that youngsters must learn, even though youngsters may not like it. And so everyone says make it fun for the kids. School is not fun. School is hard work. There are a number of things that youngsters are going to have to do that at this particular time in their life they do not like. Let's get a few more questions in. Hi, you're on City Line. Hello. Yes, go ahead, please. Oh, good. I couldn't wait for this. Okay. I would just like to say that I think that Mr. Mosley is really, definitely wrong in what he's doing. And I feel as though instead of taking the athletics out of the school, why can't he find out why the kids are having a problem in learning and go from day to day to the classes and find out about the teacher?

Okay. Let him respond. Boy, I think you have you have you have a very good question indeed. We are doing this. We've ascertained several reasons why youngsters are learning. One reason they're not learning. They're not there any time to. 30% of your populations are building every day. They can't learn because they're not there. Secondly, we're not just looking at athletics. We're not just looking at truancy. We're looking at our total school program. We have developed plans to give teachers intensified in-service work to develop their skills in teaching, reading and then teaching math. They are being constantly supervised. We have just developed a plan concentrating on developing skills with the teachers to make them more effective. But I am going to have to say this. You say that I should be in the prison system. Schools are institutions where you have large numbers of people, where you're going to have to have structure. And the cornerstone of learning is discipline. Anyone who comes in my school will see that it's not run like a prison system. It's I simply tell youngsters, these are the rules that you have to follow. If you follow these rules and shoulder your responsibility, these rules will be lessened. Rules are like parameters. Boys. I have a few rules that I must follow here. I'm talking to the break. We will come back and continue with Boyce Mosley. And. We're back live on city land, talking with Mr. Boyce Mosley, principal of Northwestern High School.

You can't have youngsters doing what they want when they want. Is that what you found at Northwestern when you got there? Uh, when I arrived in rural Northwestern, they they told me that youngsters were in the halls when they wanted to be, and the neighbors were complaining about youngsters be floating around the street during the school day. I stop that. Those youngsters are in school and in class. Would you actually favor a return of corporal punishment? That's not necessary. That's not necessary. What other methods would you use? Well, I think what you have to do, you have to establish rules as few rules as possible. Those rules should be articulated to the youngsters. The youngsters should know the rules. Those rules should be instituted uniformly and fairly. And once you've done that, youngsters understand. I talk constantly with my youngsters about why we do things. Why they have to go to class on time. Why they have to have a hall pass. And this is not just to have an orderly school. It's also to have a safe school. If I allowed youngsters to come and go as they please and something would happen to those youngsters that very parent, the person who called in and said, I ran the school like a prison will be complaining, Why don't you get order in your school? Schools must be orderly. If they're not orderly, you can't learn.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=1701.78,1799.66"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We have been telling everyone at home to call in and become a part of our telephone survey, and we have the results of that now.

We were battling for the line. And we now turn to a team on Twitter in the NEWSROOM with a special report. Hi, t. Hi, Jacki. Good afternoon, Betty. It is often said that politics makes strange bedfellows. Well, business does also. Especially if the objective is to make money no matter what, even if deceit is involved to get a contract. This summer, we investigated the issue of minority front companies, and this is our report. The story of minority contractors in the city, in the state, and the role they play in the economic mainstream within their profession is a complex one, yet one that deserves full scale attention. Since you can't tell a complicated story in a few short minutes, we decided to focus on the issue of minority funds. Those companies accused of or thought to be established for the sole purpose of deceitfully taking advantage of laws and set asides designed to aid the historically disadvantaged minority. Well, the economic amounts of money that you're ripping off from legitimate black owned businesses and their employees, it's morally debasing for a legitimate black owner to go through the tedious procedures of filling out certification forms, bidding on jobs, never to get work, just to lose them to front companies. So it has moral in an economic deteriorating effect to legitimate black businesses to be considered a minority business. A company must be 51% owned and controlled by blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, or members of other socially or economically disadvantaged groups. White women are also included in this category. I have no way to meet Doc Rome of Roland's rigging, a bona fide minority contractor in business for over 30 years. Over the past three years, Doc has spent nearly $15,000 in salaries and accrued paperwork to bid on minority jobs that he has yet to get.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=1905.08,2092.44"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Minority front companies don't make that task any easier. It's a problem Doc says he really cannot understand. Well, that's what I would like to know. We are qualified and we can do the work. We have all the material. We have all the men and whatnot we can guarantee to work. But it's it's always taken from me in some kind of a way that they find a way to get around it. And I don't know what that is. I don't understand it. Why? Concerned about his lack of city business role sent letters to every member of the Baltimore City Council. One of the first and few to respond to the problem was City Councilwoman Jacqueline McLean. And I think it's a real slap in the face to those minority companies who do go out, work very, very hard to make themselves a decent living. And to have someone just walk in and tells me, well, I'll give you I'll give you X amount of money or X percentage, if you will actually say that that you're a minority company. And I take great issue with it. I really do. Contracting is big business in the city and state. Maryland's Department of Transportation's total contract amount awarded for fiscal year 1984 alone was $377 million. $45 million of that was earmarked for NBA participation. Baltimore City has an average annual budget of $100 million, give or take $100,000 here and there. The city has a goal of 15 to 25% minority involvement on projects it funds. But just who are these front companies and how much business do they do with the city and state? To get answers to these and other questions, we took our City Line cameras to three local contracting companies identified and published newspaper reports as possible minority front companies.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=2093.01,2205.66"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Our first stop was Anchor Construction, owned by Mildred Gillespie. We asked Mrs. Gillespie what was her response to news articles and found her company to be a minority front. We've always been general contractors and I've always been in the business in partnership with my husband since the day it was started. So this wasn't anything new. And then being a woman and and then the stock being 100% mine qualified me for the minority status of a woman owned business. Our next stop was Bay City Construction. An Asian American, Rolando de la Cruz senior is listed as president and 51% owner. He was not there. So we asked Maurice Yingling, part owner of Bay City, what was his response to allegations of the company being a minority front? Well, uh, it's definitely not a front. It was never intended to be. And Hooper is no longer going to be in business. Hooper is closing its doors and going out of business completely. Matter of fact, we had an auction on May 24th. So Bay City Construction is going to be leaving this property. I think he's going to be getting another piece of property or renting another beach prop out and he's active what he is doing. But you do own 49% or more. I just own part. I own 24% of Bay City. Our last stop was the LNG corporation owned by Grady Smith. We spoke to a son who refused to acknowledge any relationship between LNG and another company. Highway Services decertified by MDOT over a year ago. I have no comment. I have no comment. Okay. What is your workforce? What is the composition of your workforce? How large is it? Approximately 60 people. Yeah, that's including line and staff. And of that 60 people, what percentage of those workers are black?

If anchor construction, LNG and Bay City were minority front companies as insinuated in published newspaper reports, then how much business would they be taking away from the bona fide minority contractor? Our research turned up these figures. Since 1981, Bay City has done over $1,000,000 in business with the city as A and b e. LNG has done well over $100,000 this year alone. Anchor Construction has done millions of dollars in business with the city as a general contractor, but no figures were available for them as an NB. With the Maryland Department of Transportation, Bay City again tops the million dollar mark and contracts awarded by the agency. LNG since 1983 has done $931,426 in work with MDOT and Anchor Construction $27,500 as of the end of June. Even these figures are extremely low and represent only a fragment of the work received by these companies as certified and BS. Not all whites in business with the minority are using that company as a front. However, it is one area that officials carefully consider. We'd have to look and see what those relationships are. What is the relationship between this black man, let's say, and this white man and this other company? What is their relationship? Who's controlling? Does the black man fall under the. Is it under the control of the white man or not? We have to try to determine that. But that would be a flag that we would look at very critically. That relationship, as it existed and as it currently exists, even with the issue of questionable ownership in some minority businesses and minorities overall moving toward the economic mainstream within their profession.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=2322.84,2443.71"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Some would say yes.

We are getting further and further economically away from the majority contracting community here in the city and state, because there is sensitivity, especially from Schaefer's administration, just is not there. For years, we've heard the cry of minority contract. Actors about their lack of involvement in city and state projects. We've heard their concerns about front companies, and because minority front companies don't seem to be going away. Then the question remains. Is enough being done to investigate, point out, and prosecute cases of illegitimate minority fund companies? I don't think anything is done. I don't think I think those companies do it and then get away with it and nobody ever does anything about it. I don't think there's anything done whatsoever. The issue of minority fund companies does not start or stop in Maryland, but can be seen popping up throughout the country wherever minority business set asides are established. It even touches the White House, where a member of President Reagan's cabinet is currently under investigation because of his questionable involvement in a minority business. Jackie, very good reporting. The last person that you interviewed asked a very good question, and that is what is being done about front minority front companies and what agency is the watchdog? The Maryland Department of Transportation has five investigators and a chief. Baltimore City has no full time investigators, but six part time investigators who also have other duties. If a business is found to be a front company, then they are referred to the attorney general's office for prosecution. Well, tell how many cases have been prosecuted thus far. Only one case of a minority fund company has been prosecuted since the state's attorney general's office first started accepting referrals a couple of years ago.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=2444.79,2551.62"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/20","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And less than ten are now being reviewed for possible prosecution. Thanks a lot. We'll be back with more City Line. Howard Anthony's entertainment page is coming up right after this. And I have. Hi, I'm Harold Anthony. And today I'd like to tell you about a duet which combines two of the biggest names in the music industry. The artists that I'm speaking of are Diana Ross and Julio Iglesias. In order to fully understand the true magnitude of this merger, you must first be familiar with their backgrounds. Diana Ross is an entertainer who needs very little introduction. We've watched her blossom in the industry from a skinny little teenager from the Brewster Housing projects in Detroit, where she led a female vocal group called the Supremes to the megastar that she is today. She's been one of the main influences of soul music as we know it. Julio Iglesias, however, was known in this country simply as Julio, who up until early 1983, although he is not yet a household name in the United States, he has today sold over 100 million LPs, perform 2214 live concerts, earned 680 gold records, amassed an unprecedented 221 platinum records, and is adored by millions of fans in 150 countries over five continents. It's estimated that some way in the world, a record by the Spanish heartthrob is being played every 30 seconds. He records in no less than seven languages that include English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Japanese. Statistics show that this ex-lawyer and athlete has sold more records than Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, the Beatles, or anyone else you can name. All of this resulted in his winning the first ever diamond disk by the Guinness Book of World Records for selling over 100 million records internationally.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885#t=2552.25,2739.48"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105306/file/205885/transcript/48876/annotation/21","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"He is, without a doubt the most popular singer on the planet today. Diana Ross will attest to that fact. You see. Rumor has it that since they cut this video together, Diana has fallen head over heels in love with all of you.

He is Diana Ross and Julio Iglesias. I never have this. Something in your eyes tells. You would stay here. Your dad is. So. So. Oh. Oh. Oh. That was Diana Ross and Julio Iglesias with all of you. Next up is a 26 year old singer from Detroit, Michigan, who began her career at the early age of ten when she and her brother went to high school talent contest. The singer's name is Alicia myers, and since then, she has been on a steady climb to the top. She's the same artist who co-wrote two hits by the group, One Way entitled You Can Do It and Do Your Thing from her fourth album, simply entitled I Appreciate. Here's Alicia myers. So. You. You know, you have your neighbor. I don't have much to. You. And that's about you. What do you mean? I know your. You. I.

When you write or write a book, I know it's what you put into it, and you have to think about what you want to say. Actually, I chose the camera. I chose whatever art I have worked at as some way or another to express my feelings about the world in which I live. What I like about it, what I dislike about it, and so on. When I went to live in 1948, I was almost immediately assigned to Paris, which was a big plum for you, simply because I was, you know, experienced with fashion. And that way I could cover the collections in Paris as well as travel throughout Europe, doing the news documentary, Whatever happened. I think after as a black man in those days, getting a start was difficult for me at first, But once I hit the mark, it was easier for me because people always thought that I was better than I really was.
