Art Rupe (5th September Birthday)

Postby john poole » Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:31 am

Arthur Goldborough pka "Art Rupe"; the founder of Specialty Records - born 5th September, 1917 (Greensburg, Pennsylvania) - he's 94 today, but judging from these clips for his (long overdue) induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, he's probably looking a great deal younger.

'Tutti Frutti' from the 1957 film "Don't Knock the Rock" (this is where one of the clips used on the Doctor Ross YouTube posting last week was taken from)

Art Rupe wouldn't release Sam Cooke's 'You Send Me'; but after it had been a hit for Keen Records, Specialty did issue 'I'll Come Running Back to You' (1957) as a follow-up -

That's a really interesting interview with Art Rupe on the history of You Send Me.
Whatever he's been taking, he should market it. Unbelievable for 94.
