Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most.

Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist.

×Noble Sissle’s son and daughter celebrated what would have been their famous father’s 132nd year after birth in 1889. To mark the date, Sissle’s children, grandchildren and great grandchildren living in 3 locations in California and two in Florida, found a way to celebrate his birthday remotely with poetry and music. The tele-conference party turned into a remote Family Reunion of Sissle’s 2 children, 6 grandchildren including spouses, and 6 great grandchildren for a total of 14 excited individuals. After figuring out how to record all parts of Sissle’s hit song “I’m Just Wild About Harry” in a poetic form titled "We’re Just Wild About Poppa,” the session turned into a Family Reunion planning session. With music by the Amherst Saxophone Quartet and the soaring voice of Ali Ollie Woodson, they not only completed their mission, they started planning a real reunion in 2022. Episodes to follow this special birthday submission will resume focusing on Sissle’s move to Cleveland in 1906 and finding out that he had a special talent: a singing voice that caught the attention of influential people.…
This Episode, a bit late uploaded, focuses on events during early R&B music history. The great and talented James Brown and Joe Tex were competing for the same audiences throughout the South and Mid-West. They performed countless one-nighters trying to expand their fan bases. Tex from Texas and Brown from Georgia were on a collision course to win a great number of fans and score hits on the music charts. Both entertainers were great showmen: James’ dancing and Joe’s humorous storytelling. But it was the fantastic moves with the microphone stands during their shows that created tension between the two stars. Each performer claimed to have been the originator of the phenomenal tricks with this equipment. The friction began in the mid 1950s and continued to the day Tex died of a sudden heart attack in 1972. Host Noble Sissle, Jr. speaks of his father’s reaction to the shouts and music of James Brown and his impression of the quality of R&B music that began to emerge in the early 1960s.…
Talk about tangents! Host Noble Sissle, Jr. begins this episode with a recording his father made with Eubie Blake and gives the background of the musicians. But then he introduces one of the co-writers of the song, Perry Bradford , and the history lesson begins. Sissle and Blake wrote the ragtime song played in this episode, Jubilee Tonight , with additional material supplied by Bradford. Then listeners learn of the lost or mostly forgotten history of Bradford's contributions to early-recorded jazz and his struggle to get an African American female to record the blues. His dream comes true and Mamie Smith (Before Bessie Smith) becomes a sensation. In 1957, Noble Sissle was able to get Bradford in front of his reel-to-reel tape recorder and tell the world how he fought the powers-to-be to achieve this historical moment of jazz recordings. Bradford promised those who listened that he was writing a book to tell the truth as to when and where jazz began (not New Orleans according to Bradford). After 10 years had passed and no autobiography, Sissle convinced Bradford that "jazz lovers and jazz students" should hear the story while waiting for Bradford to write the story. A rare excerpt of one of their recording session is presented in this episode. As it turns out, Bradford's book, Born With the Blues , was published as the recording sessions ended and they were able to get the album, The Perry Bradford Story, as Told to Noble Sissle by Perry Bradford, released at the same time, each product promoting the other. What a great tangent!…
In his early years growing up in Indianapolis in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Noble Sissle’s musical destiny had yet to be determined. The talents began to show, but he was still a young boy who loved baseball and working odd jobs. Using research and Sissle’s writings and tape recordings, his son Noble, Jr., podcast host, explores the influences of his father and mother as well as a prominent African American in Indianapolis. The episode contains music to showcase the popularity of Sissle’s music from his 1921 Broadway play, Shuffle Along . Assigned by his church convention to Indianapolis, Indiana, Reverend Sissle moves his family there in 1888 as he assumes the pastoral duties at Simpson Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church in Indianapolis. However, in his search for information about the church, the host learns that there are two Methodist Simpson Chapels in the area. Which is which? Did the congregation's racial makeup change over the years? Does anyone remember Reverend Sissle? Did somebody erase history? He muses, "I wonder?"…
Host Noble Sissle, Jr. and his sister Cynthia Sissle explain the origins of the family name and how their grandfather, Reverend George A. Sissle, born in 1852, managed his family of 6 children. However, the story begins with George's father Richard both living as freemen in Lexington, KY and both becoming ministers. The family lore of how the name Sissle came to be is explained by Cynthia who has become the Sissle family genealogist and has copies of original documents that explains it all. This episode also features a song performed by Noble Sissle with his parter Eubie Blake and even contains some spoken words by Sissle regarding his minister father.…
