[JPL] Bobby Robinson interview/Portland boxing expert

[David Kunian]

I am currently working on a radio documentary about the rhythm and blues 
singer Lee Dorsey (Ride Your Pony/Ya-Ya/Workin' In A Coalmine/Yes We 
Can/Sneaking Sally Through the Alley etc.)  And I am in need of the 
resources which this list can so wonderfully provide.

1) I am looking for any interviews anyone might have or know about with 
Bobby Robinson, producer of Fire/Fury Records and owner of the Record 
Shack in Harlem until about a year ago.  Robinson produced Dorsey's 
"Ya-Ya" and I'm looking for any interviews about this that individuals 
or institutions might have.

2) I'm also looking for anyone who knows or knows someone who knows 
about boxing in Portland, Oregon in the 1950s.  Dorsey lived there in 
the 1950s and was a boxer there under the name "Kid Chocolate."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  People can email me at dkunian 
"at" Bellsouth "dot" net.

thanks in advance,
David Kunian
