The CMHOF has two important announcements for the music and entertainment industries.<\/p>\n
First, we have a new Inductee into our Hall of Fame!<\/p>\n
Originally from Seattle, Washington, Robert Alexander “Bumps” Blackwell was an American bandleader, songwriter, manager, arranger, A&R Man for Specialty Records, & a record producer.<\/p>\n
As a Founding Father of Rock & Roll, Bumps is credited for his work overseeing & co-writing the early hits of Little Richard as well as the start of the music careers of Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Sly & The Family Stone, Herb Alpert, Lou Adler, & RedBone, the first Native American Rock Band.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Bumps also produced Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me”- which became the first #1 hit by a solo Black artist.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to “Bumps”!<\/p>\n
Secondly, the CMHOF is now initiating a new Page on our site and a new offering for artists and songs to be reviewed and featured by the California Music Hall of Fame. The Hall will review up to 2 songs from an act, and write up and post the review on their website and their Facebook Page.. Review will be approx.150 -200 words long, total.<\/p>\n
This is a great opportunity to be featured via the HOF. Please note that having a review published on the CMHOF site does not mean the act is inducted into the Hall.<\/em><\/p>\n To do the review, potential acts will need to directly contact the CMHOF (via the email below). Certain terms and conditions may apply.<\/p>\n For more information, please contact: generalmanager@california-musichalloffame.com<\/p>\n Copyright 2026 California Music Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n Media Contact<\/span> The CMHOF has two important announcements for the music and entertainment industries.
