                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 29, 2014

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 
accomplishments of Mr. Bob Lott. For over twenty years Bob Lott has 
documented and produced numerous videos that have been used to teach 
and inform African American people about their ancestral lineage to 
help combat the disproportionate ills they have suffered compared to 
other races.
  Mr. Bob Lott and then partner Walt Gavin pioneered a nationally 
syndicated black music show on commercial television with The Gavin & 
Lott Show. He then followed that effort with the breakthrough 
production of City Sounds. Over the years, Mr. Lott has worked with 
many legendary recording artists at Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's 
Philadelphia International Records, including Teddy Pendergrass, 
McFadden & Whitehead, Patti LaBelle, Bunny Sigler, and The O'Jays.
  Moreover, Mr. Lott produced numerous documentaries shedding much 
needed light on important historical figures, including my friends 
Kenny Gamble and the great Representative David Richardson. Over the 
years, he has produced music videos, eleven nationally aired 
infomercials, television commercials, and promotional videos for 
countless corporations and non-profits. Mr. Lott will be honored by the 
Marian Anderson Historical Society on May 31, 2014 for his dedication 
to aiding African American people through film.
  It is a privilege to recognize a person whose leadership and 
commitment have inspired and supported so many in our region. I ask you 
and my other distinguished colleagues to join me in commending Mr. Bob 
Lott for his lifetime of service and dedication to Pennsylvania's First 
Congressional District.
