Abstract
J. Taylor Doggett is a businessman and writer who has extensively researched, among various other interests, the 1950s R&B group the 5 Royales, swing bandleaders, and musicians associated with the University of North Carolina. He lives in Greensboro, N.C.
The collection consists of three series: 5 Royales Materials; UNC Bandleaders Materials; and Other R&B, Jazz, and Doo Wop Materials. The Five Royales series documents Doggett's extensive research and collecting efforts relating to the Winston-Salem, N.C., R&B vocal group of that name and the careers of constituent members Lowman Pauling, Clarence Paul, Curtis Pauling, Obadiah Carter, Johnny Tanner, Eugene Tanner, Otto Jeffries, and William Samuels. There is also music of the Royal Sons, EL Pauling and the Royalton, and the Charlie "Little Jazz" Ferguson Orchestra. The UNC Bandleaders series reflects Doggett's interest in "sweet jazz" bandleaders associated with the University of North Carolina, including Kay Kyser, Hal Kemp, Skinnay Ennis, and John Scott Trotter. Also in this series are other performers, including Kyser's College of Musical Knowledge, Harry Babbitt, Merwyn Bogue (Ish Kabibble), Libby Holman, Georgia Carroll Kyser, Ginny Simms, and Bo Thorpe. The 5 Royales and UNC Bandleaders series both include audio and video recordings, printed materials, and correspondence. The Other R&B, Doo Wop, Jazz, and Blues Materials series contains printed materials and recordings that reflect Doggett's broader musical interests.

Biographical Note

J. Taylor Doggett is a businessman and writer who has extensively researched, among various other interests, the 1950s-era R&B group the 5 Royales and swing bandleaders and musicians associated with the University of North Carolina. He lives in Greensboro, N.C.

Founded in Winston Salem, N. C., the 5 Royales were significant in providing a link between early R&B and early soul in their combination of doo wop, jump blues, and gospel styles. The 5 Royales, which comprised at various points musicians Lowman Pauling, Clarence Paul, Curtis Pauling, Obadiah Carter, Johnny Tanner, Eugene Tanner, Otto Jeffries and William Samuels had great influence on a number of R&B musicians, including Ray Charles, James Brown, and Ike and Tina Turner. In 1992, the 5 Royales were recipients of the North Carolina Folk Heritage Award.

The collection which Doggett dubbed "UNC Bandleaders" focuses on several nationally prominent entertainers of the Big Band jazz era who began their public performance careers while undergraduates at the University of North Carolina. While there is particular emphasis in this collection on Kay Kyser, Hal Kemp, Skinnay Ennis, and John Scott Trotter, Doggett also collected recordings by and information about performers who were professionally associated with them such as Georgia Carroll, Ginny Simms, Harry Babbitt, Merwyn "Ish Kabibble" Bogue, and Libby Holman.

The UNC Bandleaders Materials document Doggett's research and collecting efforts related to several bandleaders from the Big Band jazz era, including Hal Kemp, Kay Kyser, Skinnay Ennis, and John Scott Trotter, who had connections to the state of North Carolina and to the University of North Carolina. Doggett's interest in the University of North Carolina legacy to Big Band jazz was originally sparked by the fact that his father, like bandleader Kay Kyser, had been a cheerleader at the University.
