Kashmere ░░ High School is located in a predominantly black neighborhood known as ░░ Kashmere Gardens in Houston, Texas. Music teacher Conrad O. Johnson ░░ attended an Otis Redding concert in 1967 and was inspired to translate ░░ the style of the concert into a program he could sustain at the high ░░ school in order to create opportunities for his student musicians, and ░░ thus the Kashmere Stage Band was born. ░░ ░░ During its time, KSB won national championships in high school band ░░ competitions and gained a reputation as being unbeatable. Johnson served ░░ as band director, arranger, and principal composer for the band. KSB ░░ recorded eight albums during its life. The teenagers in the Kashmere ░░ Stage Band produced a sound equal to that of the contemporary funk bands ░░ The J.B.'s and the Bar-Kays. Although lost for decades, since 2003 the ░░ KSB recordings have been released, some for the first time, on both vinyl ░░ record and CD and have become prized by hip-hop artists and DJs for their ░░ inimitable sound. ░░ ░░ A notable sampling occurs on the Handsome Boy Modeling School album So... ░░ How's Your Girl?; DJ ShadowÆs track ôHoly Calamity (Bear Witness II)ö ░░ samples 'Kashmere' from the album Plays Originals. In February 2008, ░░ thirty original members of the Kashmere Stage Band, all in their mid-50s, ░░ reunited for the first time in over three decades to pay tribute to their ░░ legendary leader, Conrad "Prof" Johnson, who was 92 at the time. The ░░ story of Prof, the exceptional music program he built, and the historic ░░ reunion of his former students was captured in a feature-length ░░ documentary film, Thunder Soul, narrated by Jamie Foxx, released in ░░ theaters on September 23, 2011. ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| learned from vets |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| and they |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| ain't pet doctors |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ https://store.tidal.com/us/album/74795111
