                         HON. MARSHA BLACKBURN

                        Tuesday, August 29, 2017

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today we honor Susan Turner, talented 
and dedicated promoter and advocate.
  Since her beginnings with Capital Records-Atlanta in 1974, Ms. Turner 
earned promotion after promotion in an impressive array of positions 
for RCA, Disc Mastering, and artist management firms until 1991, when 
she joined promotion legend Bruce Shindler to form an independent 
company.
  The transformation of Shindler-Turner Promotions to Turner & 
Associates resulted in a 14-year reign as one of the top three 
Billboard and R&R independent promotion companies, working product for 
99 percent of the major labels with 253 No. 1 singles.
  Her 2004 retirement only enhanced her commitment to charitable and 
community projects through Franklin County's (Fla.) Humane Society, 
``The Dixie Does Nashville'' show (Fla.), and Just For Kids LLC (Tenn.) 
which fit precisely with her history of active involvement.
  We honor Susan Turner with a SOURCE Award, recognizing her vital 
contribution to the success of Music Row and the Nashville 
entertainment industry.
