‘Even to this day I play his music’
The 1990s saw Powell working as a street promoter for MCA Records across the Midwest, according to Larry Jenkins, music director and disc jockey at WLTH radio in Gary. Powell was one of those artists.
“My job was to give away music CDs, cassette tapes and posters to anywhere there was a crowd,” Jenkins said, per the Chicago Tribune.
When Powell was in town, he claimed, people would contact him nonstop asking when he would be performing an in-store visit at one of the Chicago record stores and attempting to get his music.
“Even to this day I play his music on the 2 to 5 drive,” Jenkins said.
