City Remembers . . .
| Sir David Hirst | Johnny Otis | Etta James | |||||
 |
Sir David Hirst, who has died aged 86, was a leading defamation and commercial barrister and ultimately a highly regarded Lord Justice of Appeal. During the 1960s he acted in a series of highly publicised libel cases. |  |
Johnny Otis, who has died aged 90, was an important influence on rock and roll. His decision to identify with black people and their music led him to develop an instinct for finding black talent, and he discovered Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, Hank Ballard — and Etta James. |  |
Etta James, who has died aged 73, delivered blues, R&B, soul, ballads & hard rock with equal conviction; an electric live performer, her ability to communicate passion and pain was matched by few singers, black or white. | ||

The
Story of The Iconic Music Paper - 'Mersey Beat' Presented here, in his own words, is the definitive story of one of the Sixties' seminal music newspapers - providing a fascinating and unique personal insight into the early days of the 'British Beat Boom' and the events, personalities, facts and legend surrounding the birth of the greatest musical revolution the world has ever known. Bill Harry was the founder of the Liverpool music paper which chronicled the groups and venues responsible for the 'Mersey Sound', the publication which was to give its name to the Sixties phenomenon and musical era that has since become almost universally known as 'Mersey Beat'. |
