Episode 89: Politician & Philanthropist Bill Morris & Auctioneer Jeff Morris

Join Mike McGavel Jones as he interviews legendary Shelby County, TN lawman, politician, and philanthropist Bill Morris and his son Auctioneer Jeff Morris, Monday at 10 a.m. CST on Facebook Live. I will be interviewing Bill Morris, former Sheriff of Shelby County, TN from 1964 to 1970. During his tenure as sheriff, Morris was in charge of the custody of James Earl Ray. Ray admitted while in custody to the 1968 murder of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. However, Ray later claimed he was coerced into pleading guilty. Morris was Mayor of Shelby County from 1978 to 1994. Morris was instrumental, along with park superintendent Tom Hill, in introducing a herd of bison to Shelby Farms. In 1994, Morris campaigned for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Tennessee, placing second in the race to Phil Bresden. Tennessee State Route 385 in Shelby County, which was originally Nonconnah Parkway, was renamed Bill Morris Parkway. In his autobiography published in 2019, he talks about his extraordinary life including knowing Elvis Presley and his years of helping shape Memphis, TN.

Episode 88: "World Most Famous Auctioneer", Leroy Van Dyke

Today on the Mike McGavel Jones Show, Mike sits down with Leroy Van Dyke. Leroy was catapulted into country music fame in 1956 with his composition "The Auctioneer", co-written with Buddy Black, which sold over 2.5 million records. He wrote the song about the life of his cousin, National Auctioneers Association Hall of Famer Ray Sims, also a Missourian. Van Dyke had the lead role of a budding country music performer in the 1967 movie What Am I Bid?, in which Sims played himself as an auctioneer. In his 50 years-plus career, Van Dyke has recorded more than 500 songs, dozens of them making the charts. His record of "Walk On By" (1961) was named by Billboard magazine in 1994 as the biggest country single of all time, based on sales, plays, and weeks in the charts. It stayed at number one in the U.S. country chart for 19 weeks, and in all, charted for 42 weeks, also reaching number five on the pop listings. It sold more than 1.5 million copies. He is a member of the National Auctioneers Association Hall of Fame, is active in many music industry organizations, and as a sideline, raises premium quality Arabian mules.
