| Our Blue Note Award, gives us the opportunity to recognize someone for their outstanding efforts in the promotion, preservation and perpetuation of Rhythm and Blues music, with distinction. This year your board, unanimously nominated, and voted to honor our 2001 recipient Ripete Records, of Elliott, South Carolina. Congratulations to Marion Carter and Mike Farver, and the rest of the wonderful folks in the Ripete family. Since 1979, Ripete Records has produced "new" recordings, of old rhythm and blues treasures from the past, while nurturing emergent artists and legendary performers who are seeking to recreate, in new recordings, the sound and magic of by-gone eras. Our association would also like to sincerely thank Ripete for their continued support of our goals and their creative enthusiasm in the production of our first CD, "Let's Dance U.S.A". The N.A.R.B. Dee Jay's Association is proud to honor Ripete Records for the year 2001. Congratulations, Marion and Mike, and we're looking forward to more outstanding rhythm and blues dance music in 2002.
