Autor

Jerry Zolten, Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences and Integrative Arts at The Pennsylvania State University, Altoona, is an educator, author, music and film producer, and screen and broadcast narrator. He writes extensively about American roots and vernacular music as both communication about culture and as an influence on contemporary pop music. Zolten's association with The Dixie Hummingbirds began during the late 1980s, initially as a producer of concert and festival appearances, then later as a chronicler of the group's history, culminating in the First Edition of Great God A'Mighty! The Dixie Hummingbirds: Celebrating the Rise of Soul Gospel Music (2003). Zolten contributed liner notes for the Grammy-winning two-volume The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records, Volumes 1 & 2 from Jack White's Third Man Records. He is also a principle on-screen narrator in the film The Ballad of the Dreadnought, and co-producer and principle narrator of the documentary film How They Got Over: Gospel Quartets and the Road to Rock 'n' Roll.
