You are CADILLAC BABY! This is the story of Narvel Eatmon, better known to the blues world as CADILLAC BABY - owner of BEA & BABY label, former nightclub proprietor, ex-radio announcer, record salesman and songwriter, andone of the most colorful personalities in Chicago. Once a highly successful figure as a resuit of his various musicial enterprises, Cadillac today is relatively inactive in music, spending most of his time at his store at 44th & State, where he sells candy, pop and school supplies to neighorhood children. He still has stocks of his old records there, along with old photos, tapes, contract agreements and plenty of proud Memories. Now, here is the Cadillac Baby story, as he announced it one September afternoon in the back of his store. I use the word "announced" beacuse, as he held the microphone of the Tape recorder, he was speaking not to me, but to an unseen audience as he relived his days of glory and predicted new fame for the one and only CADILLAC BABY. -Jim O'Neal (September. 1971) - Living Blues, Number Six ~ Autumn 1971 ~ ====================================================== "BACK 40, Blues From Chicago" "JACK'S BACK ALLEY" Off Third
