## Caption

Young James was a record collector since the early age of two. His parents used to take him record shopping at a local music store where they would play music catered to his likeness. He was never afraid to voice his opinion about music he disliked, it had to really move and touch him for him to love listening to it. He would gather 45" records he wanted to purchase and carry them on his arms and wrist. Here is a page from the childrens book "The Life Story of James Dewitt Yancey, Vol.1" in Madukes own words.
