Harvey LeRoy "Lee" Atwater ((1951-02-27)February 27, 1951 – March 29, 1991(1991-03-29)) was an American political consultant and strategist to the Republican Party. He was an advisor of U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Atwater was born in Atlanta, Georgia to Harvey Dillard, an insurance adjustor, and Alma "Toddy" Page Atwater. He had two siblings, Ann, and Joe. He grew up in Aiken, South Carolina where his childhood was marred with tragedy when his three-year-old brother, Joe, was scalded to death when he pulled a deep fryer full of hot oil on himself.

In 1970, Atwater graduated from Newberry College, a small private Lutheran institution in Newberry, South Carolina where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. While attending Newberry, Atwater served as Governor of the South Carolina Student Legislature. Atwater earned a Master of Arts in communications from the University of South Carolina in 1977. Atwater married his wife, Sally Dunbar, in 1978 and together they had three children, Sara Lee, Ashley Page, and Sally Theodosia.

Stefan Forbes is an American writer and film director. His first feature film was the 2008 documentary film Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story, about the life of political operative Lee Atwater. Boogie Man played at both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, played in 40 U.S. cities theatrically, debuted at #8 in the nationwide box-office charts in per-screen average, and was broadcast on PBS's Frontline, the BBC's Storyville, the CBC, and other networks worldwide. It was a Critic's Pick in The Washington Post, New York Times, and London Sunday Times, and received an editorial in The New York Times on the film's relevance to the 2008 Presidential election.

The Washington Post calls it "One of the greatest political films ever" and says "There is more than one moment in this film that will likely pop your jaw open…Wow.” Rolling Stone called it "A must-see". The New York Daily News wrote "Honestly, every adult in America should see it before casting another vote." The New York Times says "This riveting film is generous in spirit and nimble in technique." Roger Ebert calls Boogie Man "a remarkable portrait...heartbreaking."

Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008) was an American songwriter, musician, singer, actor, and voice actor. Hayes was one of the creative influences behind the southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served both as an in-house songwriter and as a record producer, teaming with his partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. Hayes, Porter, Bill Withers, the Sherman Brothers, Steve Cropper, and John Fogerty were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 in recognition of writing scores of notable songs for themselves, the duo Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, and others.

The hit song "Soul Man", written by Hayes and Porter and first performed by "Sam & Dave", has been recognized as one of the most influential songs of the past 50 years by the Grammy Hall of Fame. It was also honored by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, by Rolling Stone magazine, and by the RIAA as one of the Songs of the Century.

During the late 1960s, Isaac Hayes also began recording music and he had several successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971). In addition to his work in popular music, he worked as a composer of musical scores for motion pictures.

William Everett "Billy" Preston (September 2, 1946 – June 6, 2006) was a musician whose work included R&B, rock, soul, funk and gospel. Preston became famous, first as a session musician with such artists as Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and The Beatles, and was later successful as a solo artist with such hit pop singles as "Space Race", "Will It Go Round in Circles" and "Nothing from Nothing", and a string of albums.

Alongside Tony Sheridan, Billy Preston was the only other musician to be credited on a Beatles recording after he was credited on the group's number-one hit, "Get Back", with the record title listed as The Beatles with Billy Preston. Steven Stills asked Preston if he could use Preston's phrase "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with" in a song and created the legendary eponymous hit.

William Everett Preston was born on September 2, 1946 in Houston, Texas. At the age of three, the family moved to Los Angeles where Preston began playing piano while sitting on his mother Robbie's lap. Noted as a child prodigy, by the age of ten, Preston was playing organ onstage backing several gospel singers such as Mahalia Jackson, James Cleveland and Andrae Crouch. At twelve, he appeared in the W.C. Handy biopic starring Nat King Cole entitled, St. Louis Blues, playing W.C. Handy at a younger age. A year prior, Preston appeared on Cole's national TV show singing the Fats Domino hit, "Blueberry Hill".

Carla Thomas (born December 21, 1942, Memphis, Tennessee) is an American singer, who is often referred to as the Queen of Memphis Soul. She is the daughter of Rufus Thomas.

Carla Thomas was born on December 21, 1942, in the Foote Homes Housing Project in Memphis, Tennessee. Her parents, Rufus and Lorene Thomas, brought three musically gifted children into this world: Carla, Marvell and Vaneese. Despite growing up in the projects, the Thomas family lived in close proximity to the locally celebrated Palace Theater on world-famous Beale Street, as Rufus was the theater’s emcee for their amateur shows. This access not only gave Thomas her first taste of the music world but it also provided a springboard for her transformation into the Queen of the Memphis Sound.

In Memphis, the African American centered WDIA radio station sponsored a rotating musical group of high school students called the Teen Town Singers; notable alumni include Anita Louis and Isaac Hayes. Although the requirements to join the Teen Town Singers stated that the person should be of high school age, Thomas became a member in 1952 at the age of 10. She was able to sneak into their ranks thanks to the fact that her father Rufus was an on-air personality for the radio station. This opportunity with the Teen Town Singers did not come without its drawbacks though. As a 10 year old student, Thomas was responsible for not only attending classes and completing her schoolwork, but she also had to attend rehearsals on Wednesdays and Fridays after school and then perform at the station on Saturday. However, despite this grueling schedule, Thomas thoroughly enjoyed the experience. According to her, “It was a lot of fun, it really was.” She remained with the Teen Town Singers up until the end of her senior year.

Burning down the theatre, fire crawling from the ground
Bands up to the sky, we bring you down into hell
Coming from your nightmares raise the deepest of your fears
All night long we'll shake your mind on the edge of sanity
My blood runs cold tonight
High upon the stars my endless will
Is talking through your eyes and me
Every single sight's forever
High upon the stars my will
Is running through your eyes and me
Every single sight's forever
Loud and raw, devil's call
From the night to feed fire that keep your dreams alive
Free the power within your body and soul
As long as you're loud and raw
Dark embrace your senses
Madness is your only guide
In this new dimension there's no rule, no fear
Loud and raw
It's the awaken of your soul
Now close that chapter of your life
Every window is opened

i woke you up with poetry and stones
the ragged and the bones
strewn around the room
i recall another hazy may
take a round in the ring
gone hungry for the win...
heres the part i just lose everything
i cracked a spark just to hear you sing
sing...
i took it out
the papers and the trash
old among the cans
this golden love gone bad
shined it up
aiming at the sun
just a light year from us
hop a cab ride and we're off.
and all the ravens came along to play
the simple notes you sang just went astray
everything was up, its coming down
everything was up, its coming down

Well you had your phase 'cause you wanted to
Yea you had your phase 'cause you wanted to
You keep the small space 'cause you want it
You keep the small space 'cause you want it
Well you had your phase 'cause you wanted to
You wanted to.
Never picked your place 'cause you want it too
Never picked your place 'cause you want it too
You live in outer space 'cause you want it
You live in outer space 'cause you want it
You never picked your place 'cause you want it too
Do you change it only to arrange it?
Only to arrange it.
Only to arrange it.
Do you change it only to arrange it?
Only to arrange it.
Only to arrange it.
Yea you keep me down 'cause you want it too
Now you keep me down 'cause you want it too
You make the people wait 'cause you want it
You make the people wait 'cause you want it
And now you keep me down 'cause you want it too
Do you change it only to arrange it?
Only to arrange it.
Only to arrange it.
Do you change it only to arrange it?
Only to arrange it.
Only to arrange it.
Do you change it only to arrange it?
Only to arrange it.
