Mr. Al Bell will be the speaker for the National Alumni Association Celebration Banquet Saturday April 30th.  He recently received a 2011 Grammy Trustees Award. Considered a recording industry legend, Al Bell has been responsible for shaping the American music scene for 50 years. From his humble beginnings as an air personality in Little Rock, Memphis, and Washington, DC, to his position as Chairman of Stax Records and subsequently the president of Motown Records, Bell’s dynamic leadership style led him to become known as one of the premier business executives in the recording industry. His innovative promotional efforts promulgated the “Memphis Sound” internationally and made Stax the second-largest African American-owned business in the 1970s.  He is a member of the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame and Chairman of the Memphis Music Foundation.  His wife, Lydia '64, is a librarian here on campus.
