Those Touched by The Life of
Dr. Charles "Chuck" Singleton
GET MOVING For The Movie

Ancestor Dr. Charles L. Singleton, was a great inspiring and insightful person and contributor to our family of news blogs and many other causes.  He was a professional athlete, educational consultant, Purple Heart Awardee, creative and insightful writer, progressive author, Fundraiser for Elizabeth City College and HBCU causes.  He was of course a mentor and inspirational presence for many people and organizations.

We are supporting a passionate group of Doraville natives embarking upon a compelling journey to create a documentary celebrating the rich tapestry of Doraville's history. As part of this endeavor, they are sponsoring a 5K race in honor of the late Chuck Singleton.

Jay Baker, one of the organizers, had this to share "Dr. Charles “Chuck” Singleton was not only a Purple Heart decorated war veteran and accomplished author, but also a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement.

As Student Council President at Elizabeth City State University, he played a crucial role in organizing a peaceful march following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This event helped prevent the closure of several historically black colleges and universities, including his own alma mater.

To most of Doraville, however, he was known as “Mr. Singleton,” beloved educator at Northwoods Elementary, first African American teacher at the school, and three-time winner of the Teacher of the Year award."

 

The 5K race, held at the former General Motors location (now a major movie studio hub known as Assembly Atlanta) will take participants on a journey through both the old and new Doraville. It's not just a race; it's an opportunity to celebrate the remarkable history and vibrant future of our community, honoring the memory of a true local hero: Dr. Charles L. Singleton.

Johnny Britt "Walk On By" Hits

SiriusXM's Watercolors

Singer/Trumpeter Johnny Britt sings and plays his smooth muted trumpet on his jazzy rendition of the 1964 classic “Walk On By”. Originally made famous by Dionne Warwick … this classic has been sung by the likes of Isaac Hayes, Michael McDonald, Seal and more.

Britt’s version of “Walk On By” debuted as the most added single. In week #2 “Walk On By” was again the most added and top gainer at radio. In the same week SiriusXM Watercolors added “Walk On By” to their nationwide rotation at radio.

Britt quotes: This is a dream come true for me. This song felt so good while I was arranging and producing it … I knew this one was a gem. Also a dream for me is the fact that my 25 year old son Josh Britt mixed “Walk On By.” I’m so glad that the world will hear his talent. Playing drums on “Walk On By” is my studio drummer Marcus Williams. I’m playing keyboards, bass and muted trumpet so it’s just Marcus and Johnny on this track.

What’s so amazing is that “Walk On By” is the 3rd radio single that SiriusXM has picked up from my “After We Play” album … this is huge and a first for me. We will be entering “Walk On By” on the Grammy ballot this year I think it’s that good. I speak fluent French and I studied music at the prestigious Conservatoire de Versaille just outside of Paris, France and it was a full circle moment for me to be able to go back to where it all started for me to shoot the “Walk On By” video in the city that I adore … the romantic picturesque streets of Paris, France.

The video was directed by the talented Cedric Godin and edited by Sam Lenkov, the accompanying music video beautifully captures the essence of the song, with Paris serving as a breathtaking backdrop to Britt's heartfelt performance.
