Biographical NoteEugene Earle was born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, on 02 November 1926. Earle's interest in country music began at age eleven. In addition to amassing a large collection of country and western, blues, and jazz sound recordings, he also became a dedicated discographer, as well as a founder and president of the John Edwards Memorial Foundation (JEMF). During the mid-1950s, Eugene Earle began corresponding with other collectors and became acquainted with John Edwards of Australia. Edwards, one of the first collectors of early American country music and a pioneer of discographical research, encouraged Earle to begin his own research. This advice led Earle to create the first of many discographies related to American folk music and a friendship was forged between the two collectors. After a fatal 1960 car accident which ended Edwards's life, his will provided that Earle be made executor of his collection and that it be housed in the United States. With the help of Archie Green, Eugene Earle donated Edwards's collection to establish the John Edwards Memorial Foundation, which aimed at furthering the study of American folk music of the 1920s-1940s. In addition to founding the JEMF, avid collecting, and extensive discographical research, Earle is also responsible for rediscovering and recording a number of country musicians, including Doc Watson, Jimmie Tarlton, and the Carolina Tarheels. Back to TopCollection OverviewThe Eugene Earle Collection consists of commercial and non-commercial transcription discs documenting a wide array of radio programs and individual performers from 1939 through the early 1980s. A significant portion of the collection consists of Army V-Discs and Navy V-Discs from World War II. Other transcriptions include the Ralph Emery Show; the Lawrence Welk Show; and various government-sponsored radio shows, such as Country Roads, Navy Hoedown, Sounds of Solid Country, Here's to Veterans, Country Music Time, Country Cookin', and Country Express. Government-sponsored V-Discs were issued from October 1943 to May 1949 and feature material from a variety of sources, including special recording sessions, radio broadcasts, broadcast rehearsals, film soundtracks, and both issued and unissued commercial recordings. Along with the Armed Forces Radio Service, the V-Disc group was a morale-building unit that addressed a need for current music by the troops overseas. As V-Discs were produced exclusively for use by military personnel and the many artists who volunteered to perform on the recordings were adamant about the discs not being commercially sold or used, many of the V-Disc metal pressing parts were destroyed by the United States Army. Consequently, the V-Discs that survived document performances by artists unavailable on any other recordings. Performers include Roy Acuff, the Andrew Sisters, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Roy Eldridge, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Lionel Hampton, Coleman Hawkins, Billie Holiday, Louis Jordan, Jimmie Lunceford, Roy Rogers, Hazel Scott, Artie Shaw, Muggsy Spanier, Art Tatum, Fats Waller, and others. The Ralph Emery Show aired on WSM radio in Nashville, Tenn., 1971-1974, and showcased some of the leading performers in country music during that time. Performers include Chet Atkins, Gene Autry, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Ferlin Husky, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Loretta Lynn, Rose Maddox, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Dolly Parton, Johnny Paycheck, Charley Pride, Hank Thompson, Johnny Tillotson, Conway Twitty, Hank Williams Jr., Tammy Wynette, Faron Young, and others. Many of the same performers represented in the Ralph Emery Show appear in Country Roads, Navy Hoedown, Sounds of Solid Country, and the Lawrence Welk Show. Additional performers include Patsy Cline, John Denver, Lefty Frizzell, Larry Gatlin, Emmylou Harris, Pee Wee King, Patti Page, Lou Rawls, Kenny Rogers, Hank Snow, Ernest Tubb, and Kitty Wells. Miscellaneous transcriptions represent radio programs such as Forward in Faith: Radio Voice of the Church of God; Armed Forces Records; Show of the Month: Treasury Department, U.S. Savings and Bonds Division; Country Cookin'; Christmas Seal Campaign 1976; The Veterans Administration Presents "Here's to Veterans"; The United States Army Presents Country Express; and The United States Air Force Presents Country Music Time. Additional performers include Les Baxter and His Orchestra, Pat Boone, Ruth Brown, Xavier Cugat, Anita Kerr, Eartha Kitt, Ella Mae Morse, the Ray Charles Singers, and others.
