Shalom Talk

Martin Montague doesn't mind that he is often known for what his father did. The son of the "Magnificent Montague" continues the legacy of his famous father. Our interview will Mr. Montague will air on Sunday, May 15.

Martin's father, Magnificent, was born in 1928 and perfected a style of broadcasting that was in perfect synch with the soul music of his day. In Houston, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and eventually Los Angeles, Magnificent became well-known in the 50's and 60's and grew into the business end of radio in the 70's and 80's.

Rabbi Dauermann talks with Martin and Jewish-Black relations, about Martin's astounding collection of African-American memorabilia, about the importance of remembering roots, and, of course, about his famous father and the many musical legends he knew.
