"Turn the Horns On" is the powerful, poignant, and gripping life story of Steven "Akili" Walker, a young African-American drummer, who set out in the 1970's to conquer his dream of becoming a successful recording engineer in an industry dominated by white males. This intimate account of sex, drugs, and redemption takes you on a revealing tour behind the scenes in New York City studios and on the road with some of the most groundbreaking musicians of the last 40 years -including James Brown, George Clinton, Tony Bennett, Run-DMC, Prince, LL Cool J, Lee Morgan, Ahmad Jamal, Luther Vandross, The Young Rascals, Humble Pie, and Russell Simmons - with special attention paid to the work that established Akili as one of the architects of hip hop.
In SHEPHERD OF A MAN you will journey with Denroy Morgan from the day he was born to the present day as he shares his life story in his own words: Bert Reid and I started to move together, I went in and spent my money to record Sweet Tender Love and we never got a deal. Then he wrote I'll Do Anything for You and I recorded it and the first person we took it to was Morris Levy, the Jewish mafia in the music business. . Morris Levy had Frankie Crocker the top DJ in New York and Larry Levan, the top club DJ, both in his pockets, so when they took I'll Do Anything for You to the club called Garage, the club was rocking. When Crocker bust it on WBLS-Radio the phones lit up, and it became a national hit record. Denroy Morgan has watchfully and consistently responded to his calling, for which he was created and set apart, having charted the worldwide hit I'll Do Anything for You, and such other radio favorites as Sweet Tender Love, Happy Feelings, and Africa is Calling. The father of thirty children, Denroy is a family man who after thirty years of exploration and discovery has evolved from full-time music to full-time ministry. Having truly experienced the need of unity, he teaches that which comes with purity of the mind and the spirit within oneself must be a unity of the redeeming messiah and the restoring messiah, bonded together and unified into the one spirit of the Creator - mighty God of the universe. Denroy Morgan was born in May Pen in Clarendon, West Indies but left Jamaica in 1965 at the age of 19 and traveled to the United States to become a musician. Morgan's peak period was when he signed in 1984 with RCA Records. That deal lead to the release of the reggae album "Make My Day" and marked him as the first reggae artist to be signed to RCA Records.
