Joe Adams (April 11, 1924 – July 3, 2018) was an American actor, disk jockey, businessman and manager. He was manager to Ray Charles and won a Golden Globe[1][2] — the first African-American to do so.[3][4]

Early years

Adams was a native of Los Angeles. His father was a Jewish businessman, and his mother was African-American.[3]

Career

During World War II, Adams was a pilot with the Tuskegee Airmen.[6]

After being told that, because of his race, he should not try for a career in radio, Adams took an indirect route to reach that goal. He went from being a truck driver to being chauffeur and general assistant for Los Angeles radio personality Al Jarvis. After six months, Adams had become Jarvis' assistant producer.[5]

Adams was the first African-American announcer on NBC's radio network,[6] handling West Coast jazz remote broadcasts and prducing segments of NBC's Monitor program.[7] In 1948, he became a disc jockey and announcer on KOWL radio in Santa Monica, California,[5] and 10 years later he was described in a newspaper article as "the station's top personality and most valuable property".[7]

On June 19, 1951, Adams began his own television program on KTTV in Los Angeles. The show featured Adams' 15-piece orchestra, vocalist Mauri Lynn, and the Hi Hatters dance team.[8]

On stage, Adams had the role of Joe Nashua in the Broadway musical Jamaica (1957).[9]

Personal life

Adams married Emma Millhouse in 1946.[6] They remained married until his death 72 years later.[10]

Recognition

The Los Angeles City Council designated March 15, 1953, a day to honor Adams.[7] In 1955, he received FEM magazine's Man of the Year Award.[11]

Papers

Adams' photographs, scrapbooks, and other materials are housed in the Joe Adams Papers collection in the Archives Center, National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution.[12]
