MEDIA RELEASE:
DATELINE:
Friday, July 10, 2014
Chicago, IL USA: One
of the greatest Performers and Entertainers, a Legend by all Definitions of the Word was James Brown, the Godfather of Soul; one of the Founding Fathers of
Funk Music; #1 in The Top
500 Artists of Billboard R&B Charts (from 1942 to 2010), Hot
R&B Songs; and Ranking
as Seventh on Rolling Stone's
List of its 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time. 1
With his Music touching The Masses, step back
and think of what would it have been like to know how James really felt; what
he really thought; what it was like to “be” James Brown. Even a Conversation with Mr. Brown must have been a mesmerizing Moment.
As
the Movie – (t)his Movie – named: Get On
Up opens on August 1, 2014, ‘The Chicago
Connection’ to Mr. Brown rests
with our very own, Jay B. Ross,
Entertainment Attorney to the incomparable James Brown. Learn more of the Inside Story about how Jay B. helped shape James’
Career (for 15 years); that later, of course, would lend itself to how
eliminating Racism grew from the deeply enrooted Civil Rights Enactments of 50
years ago (this year); to how young Artists/Musicians/Performers must learn
‘The Laws’ in order to protect themselves and their Careers. Yes, this could easily become a Class at any
leading University revolving around the relevant Issues of
Marketing/Music/Intellectual Property.
As
intriguing as the Sounds of James Brown
are, Attorney Ross has worked with
over 300 Performing Artists, Musical (both individual Arts and Groups) and
Comedians for the Span of his Legal Career, now 46 years going strong. His ever-popular Blog called:
has
been turned into a Rap and will be released at the beginning of 2015.
From
‘Sue The Bastards’ (Book-in-Progress) this Chapter appears:
- Introduction
Written in October of 2006
Mr. Ross has been my lawyer for many years. I trust him totally. He has looked out for
my interests, even above his own, and that’s what a lawyer is all about. I’ve heard many of his stories that he intends to use in his books on his experiences and he has permission to use any about me. I have found his stories interesting and have laughed out loud at many of the humorous ones. I totally remember the ones he is writing about me, our long limo ride together in New York State, and our mutual advice to M.C. Hammer. I am sure that anyone who reads his work will enjoy it.
- James Brown
(Sadly, Mr. Brown died December 25, 2006 after expressing these comments.)

before
August 1 when the Movie, GET ON UP premiers
spotlighting Chadwick Boseman, Nelsan Ellis, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer
and produced by Mick Jagger in
order to learn Facts and hear Stories that only he can
reveal about this self-made SuperStar.
When
I asked Jay B. about his Careers
that covered such Professions as the Legal Field; being an Author, Actor and
Philanthropist, he was quick and proud to add a continuous Flow of Jobs that
most would leave off their Resumés as: Manager,
Booking Agent, Poster Store Owner, Encyclopedia Salesman, Bus Boy, Waiter,
Oven-Cleaner, Dorm Counselor and Real Estate Salesman.
This Characteristic of being able to
cross-over and reinvent himself is what gives Jay B. Ross his colorful Personality and Fortitude…one that has opened Doors to
the Arts & Cultural Scenes in Chicago where he is headquartered, a dynamic Arena
where too many leave, but where Jay B.
chose to stay and cultivate the Performers he worked and continues to work
(with).
TO KEEP YOUR EDITORIAL CALENDARS ACTIVE: The following Six (6) Projects are in the Works for Jay B. that you may wish to spotlight
throughout the upcoming year. Those are:
1) ‘Sue
the Bastards’
Jay B. Ross’ Blog/Book – a Work-in-Progress;
2) ‘Sue
The Bastards’ Song will be released in early January, 2015 to accompany The
Book & its Music Video now in Production in Atlanta (derived initially from
a Rap Jay wrote in the Middle 1980 for his Employees’ Holiday Party);
3) The
Jay B. Ross Foundation that will promote frequent Networking Events in and
throughout the Greater Chicago Community encompassing the Midwest and those
Musicians/Artists/Talents wishing to break into ‘The Big Time’ without leaving for the East or West
Coasts.
4) Jay
B. Ross was officially recognized and included as a Legendary Blues
Attorney in the Blues Hall of Fame by the American Heritage International
Organization on April 22, 2014 via the Blues Hall of Fame - %: Daniel S. Marolt, Chairman of The Board.
www.BluesHallofFame.org
5) A Street will be named honoring Jay B. (by the City of Chicago) saluting his Accomplishments and
Milestones in The Arts, Music & Entertainment Worlds.
6)
Negotiate is the BuzzWord of 2014. By Fall of 2014, Jay B. Ross will be
releasing a fool-proof 8 DVD Set (10-12 hours in duration) of
originally-offered Videotapes (at the Graduate Level) and taught at Columbia
College Chicago. The Topic: Negotiations (the Ploys – the Gambits).
Jay B. taught this 8 Credited Course Selection to Students (created 13 years
ago) on Music Negotiation in April of 2008 to help them negotiate Deals when
they are in Los Angeles or New York City.
Unfortunately, many cannot afford to hire an Entertainment Attorney to
protect their Material & Intellectual Properties. These Negotiation
Techniques were designed to discover the Hidden Meanings behind the Words
spoken. This Set is not only for the Creative Personality but for anyone
who wants to know more about the Art of the Negotiation; the ‘GoodGuy -
BadGuy” Approach; how to read a ‘flinch’ and other significant Techniques that
save the Artist/Person from getting ripped off. A $1,000 Course, the 8
DVDs will retail at $195 for the Set.
TAPPING INTO A LOCAL LEGEND: Available
for Programs/Programming as a regularly scheduled Live Segment on your Radio/TV
Station, this would be(come) a Series when Jay
B. interviews ‘The Who’s Who of Entertainment’ here in ‘Sweet Home Chicago’ telling their Stories, sharing his and what
transpires from those two great Conversational
Dialogues.
PAPA’s GOT A BRAND NEW BAG: James Brown and Jay B. Ross: A Part of the American Music Heritage. Indeed, it’s easy to say they are 2 of the
most "The Hardest Working Men in Show Business."

THINGS HAPPEN:
***
Like a Music Video. Can’t have a Music Video without Music, a
Song that “wraps it up” while “rapping it up” the only Way that it can be done
LEGALLY and that’s with The Tune scored and written by JAY B. ROSS a long time
ago. But now IT has come into its own Volition (with
a Group of Jay B.’s closest Friends) and is a Product – his Brand – that is not only catchy and danceable, but
Newsworthy as The Topic is timely.
“Sue The Bastards ©”
(Song and Music Video)
will be premiering in a few Short Weeks. [I'll be back with The Dates & Info.]
BY FAR: The interesting Part is that with The Advent and Invention of The Internet so much Material (inclusive of Songs, Art and Literature) can be lifted and infringed upon. Stolen without Permission; Payment or Acknowledgment to a Creative/Talent (Musician - Songwriter - all of the above) who has worked and sunk everything in to that Production.
That is not fair.
That is not right.
Yet, it occurs every Day and is occurring right now to someone who cannot stop this Crime against The Arts.
This adds up to Billions of Dollars of lost Revenue and Fanfare as well as Future Gigs annually for the average Artist who is not safeguarded.

If not for tried/true
and devoted Lawyers as Jay B. Ross (who has been "America's Leading Entertainment Attorney"
for 40+ years - based in Chicago, the Third Largest Marketplace in the USA) many Artists would not be getting the RIGHTS, RITES and Privileges) they undividedly deserves. While Copyright Infringement runs wild on The
Internet, it won’t be for long because Determination, Fortitude and The Enforcement of
CyberSpace Copyrights has only begun with #SUE_THE_LAWYERS.

Hi
If you want a lifestyle change to change your diet to eat healthy and nutritious food. And do regular exercise if we cannot take care of our mind and body, then we will not be able to take care of others as well, so we need to keep ourselves well.
