description Rick Upshaw was born and raised in Chattanooga and is a graduate of Howard School. Rick Upshaw was also a talented singer and was quite an expert at piano and organ. He began his musical studies at the Ken Keese Studios in Chattanooga and studied as well in Chicago and New York, and made several recordings for Gospel and Jet Stream Records. After initial radio experience at WNOO in Chattanooga, Rick traveled to Birmingham and WJLD. While at WJLD, he and Lewis White interviewed Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth on the 10th Anniversary of the founding of the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. That recording is also in the Oral History collection. While only at WJLD for the period 1966-1967, in the 1990's Rick supplied us with several 7 inch tape reels from his WJLD days, which included shows from Lewis White and Ed McClure as well as his own. That kind of donation is rare and we are thankful for his contribution.
