Nathaniel "Magnificent" Montague: "Heritage of the Negro" Records. A complete 12-disc 33 1/2-RPM radio transcription of "Heritage of the Negro" by legendary disc-jockey Nathaniel "Magnificent" Montague, well-known for promoting soul records on KGFL Los Angeles, where his catchphrase "Burn, baby! Burn!" became a rallying cry for the Watts riots. The discs were custom-pressed for broadcast by RCA Victor and cover the history of Black Americana with label titles such as "He Leadeth Me (Black Reconstruction Parliament)" and "Out of Bondage (Civil War)." The 12-disc set is presented with an additional five records featuring assorted introductions, sound effects, and vocal groups from Montague's programming.
