community. The benefit of these premium concerts will be that they
will create added notability, and an influx of new tourism into Harlem.
This equates to new monies coming into Harlem community, which
will translate to increased retail revenue funneled into Harlem
communities.
Why bring The (Supporting Sponsor) Let's Go Back Tour & Concert
Series to central Harlem? Harlem is a world famous locale, yet it has
no concert series for its residence. Other boroughs like Brooklyn's
Monday night summer Martin Luther king concert series at Wingate
field. Thursday’s summer Coney Island concert series and Queens
Roy Wilkins park concerts.
Harlem has no concert series that truly represents its magnificence.
Which means it does not currently benefit from the yearly influx of
dollars that are brought into other boroughs of New York City. The
(Supporting Sponsor) Let's Go Back Tour & Concert Series is just the
vehicle needed to generate that much desired traffic to Harlem. The
positive monetary affect to the community would be tremendous.

9. Harlem Community Youth Empowerment Initiative
In honor of Percy Sutton
This program is designed to offer economic support as well as social
empowerment to High School students that reside in the Harlem
community. This flagship program will initially offer, up to fifty
students, ages 16yrs through 18yrs, the opportunity of part-time
employment with the Percy Sutton Memorial: “Let's Go Back”
Concert Series.
HCYE is dedicated to creating comprehensive long-term solutions
that give young people in high-risk environments real alternatives to
violence and delinquency while addressing the underlying conditions
that influence this self-destructive life style.
Many low-income, inner-city communities of color have experienced
an insurgence of gangs and gang-related activities, and many young
people have been misdirected into joining violent gangs. Like many
other boroughs in New York City, this activity has resulted in Harlem
becoming a harbor where youth violence and drug-related activities
flourish. The purpose behind HCYE is to affect a direct response to
this crisis, and to initially focus on the male and female youth of the
he Harlem communities and to mentor them as to how they can
avoid risky behavior and achieve positive life outcomes. The goal of
HCYE is to establish a community-based organization in Harlem that
can provide young people with alternatives to incarceration, the
juvenile justice system, as well as those activities that would put
them at high risk for truancy, delinquency, violence and gang
activity.
HCYE's mission is to foster programs that will take fill the idle time
that many youth have during the summer academic break, and to
offer those in the Harlem community a more progressive alternative
and encourage these youth to focus their energy on more positive
and life fulfilling aspirations.
Programs to run for 10 weeks consecutively:
ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT:
Fifty (50) Summer Employment placement opportunities with our
annual Harlem summer Concert Series will be offered to deserving
youth.
WEEKLY YOUTH MENTORSHIP:

Fundraising Efforts
During the entire extent of this concert series, we will utilize
traditional fundraising strategies, along with some unique and
creative approaches to raise funds to support the relief, recovery,
and rebuilding efforts in the earthquake devastated country of Haiti.
We will utilize the concert stage to remind people of the great and
traumatic plight that our neighbors overseas are enduring, and will
encourage to donate to the cause to help the people of Haiti. We
recognize the extraordinary new economic burden that has now
been thrust upon the people of Haiti.
Each and every year that the (Supporting Sponsor) Presents: The Percy
Sutton Memorial: “Let's Go Back” Concert Series is presented it
will be our commitment to implement creative fundraising strategies
to directly support Haiti. In addition to monetary charity efforts, the
collection of can goods, Bottled water, clothing, and other bare
necessities are just a few of the way the concert series will help.
Our ultimate goal is to show the world that Harlem is for Haiti!

The “Lets’ Go Back” Harlem Community Agenda
The community of Harlem is experiencing an amazing renaissance. New and newly revitalize
real estate is popping up more rapidly than any of us could have ever have imagined. The
diversity and makeup of the Harlem population is transforming. Corporate America is now
embracing Harlem and putting their stores in the Harlem community. Harlem streets are being
beautified and maintained better than ever. Policing has increased, and that has made Harlem a
safer place for all. This is a wonderful factuality, but there are some social flaws that accompany
these new changes that are not being effectively addressed. That is that stealthy and
economically forced relocation of Harlem’s proud residents.
The (Supporting Sponsor) Presents - The Percy Sutton Memorial: “Let's Go Back” Concert Series
initial goal is to serve as a catalyst to boost the spirits of Harlem residents, increase the positive
notability of the Harlem communities, and generate influx of new money through enhanced
tourism. A Long-term target goal is to establish a number of not-for-profit programs that service
Harlem’s residents.
Present free, high quality, professional concerts productions in the Harlem community.
Integrate programs that will serve to empower and educate the community’s youth.
Incorporate local Churches and Senior Centers and provide free transportation, premium
reserved seating, & refreshments to the weekly concerts.
Establish fundraising initiatives to, initially, benefit the earthquake recovery efforts in the
Republic of Haiti.
Create a youth foundation based in Harlem that will teach the grass roots of music production
and recording.
Gang outreach and redirection

Charles M. Leake
Born in North Carolina, but raised in Harlem, NY on 215 West 116th
Street. Charles attended grade school at P.S. 76 A. Phillip Randolph
School on 220 West 121st Street in Harlem. Afterwards, he entered
I.S. 88, Wadleigh J.H. School, also in Harlem, for a short while, until
his parents transferred him downtown to I.S. 44 William J. O’shea
J.H. in mid-Manhattan. In 1974, Charles entered Martin Luther King,
Jr. High School and graduated in 1978 at the age 17.
Charles began his career in music and promotions in 1978 as one of
the original members of the rap group the “Harlem World Crew”
going by the name of “MC CharlieRock”. The group was named
after the world famous nightclub; Harlem World Cultural &
Entertainment Complex, formally located on 116th street & Lenox
Avenue in Harlem, USA. The club was considered the “Madison Square
Garden” of the new Hip-Hop Rap movement until it’s closing in 1985.
It played host to many of today’s current Hip Hop moguls like;
Russell Simmons, Kurtis Blow, Force MD, Kool Moe Dee, New
Edition, Yellow Man, Andre Harrell; Doug E. Fresh; Run DMC;
Grandmaster Flash; Ice T, and many more long before their present
notability.
It was during his time there that Charles learned and began to hone
his knowledge of concert promotion, production, and entertainment.
By utilizing his natural analytical and organization skills, he developed
promotional strategies that helped propel the club to great heights of
popularity and fame in the streets.
It was also there where he first met his current partner of many
years, Mr. Ray Chandler, who had heard about Harlem World and
came to rent the venue to present his rap crew, Grandmaster Flash
& The furious Five. Ray hired Charles to help promote the event, and
they developed an instant bond. For many years thereafter, Charles
worked with Ray to produce and promote some of the most
successful Rap concert/ dance events in the Tri-state area.
As time went on, Ray Chandler recognized Charles’ work ethic and
dedication and soon offered him an equal partnership. Now
promoting to a more sophisticated clientele, Charles still showed the
same gritty determination, and ability to handle events dealing with
any genre of music. He has worked with many top recording artists
of the 70s & 80s Classic Soul era, and has produced many sold out
concerts. Most recently at world class venues like: Manhattan
Center, NY; Roseland Ballroom, NY; Desoto Civic Center, in
Tennessee with performers such as: The Stylistics, Harold Melvin’s
18
19. Blue Notes; Legendary Intruders; Persuaders; The Escorts;
Delfonics; Blue Magic; Meli’sa Morgan; The Chilites; Ray Goodman
& Brown; Alyson Williams, …and many more.
Professionally, Charles received his Associates Degree in Computer
Science, and has held positions as a Systems Analyst for several
major corporations. Including; IBM, Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of
New York, Kaye Insurance Group, & New York College of Podiatric
Medicine in Harlem. But his true passion has always been concert
promotions and entertainment. Now, more than 25 years later,
Charles is President of his own concert production company, and
continues to prove he is a true “Go-getter” who will not stop until
the job is done.

Percy Sutton Memorial: “Let's Go Back” Concert Series
Ray Chandler
A native of the Bronx, NY, and one of the true visionaries in the
concert promotion business, began as one of the original pioneers of
the now multi-billion dollar hip Hop Rap music industry in the early
1970s. He was the first manager of the world famous rap crew
Grandmaster Flash & The furious Five, and also one of the first to
recognize that this then new underground style of music had the
potential of mass appeal and profitability.
For many years thereafter he produced and promoted some of the
most successful Rap concert/ dance events in the Tri-state area.
His events drew thousands into major club venues like: The Roxy;
NY; Skate Key, BX; Fun House, NY; Capitol Theatre, MA;
Westchester County Center, NY; and (the Mecca of Hip Hop) Harlem
World Club in New York City. His legacy has been documented in
several books and on the World Wide Web.
As the tides of Hip Hop music began to change in the late 80s, Mr.
Chandler now a family man chose to move into a more sophisticated
genre of music promoting top recording artists of the 70s & 80s
classic soul era. He has produced many sold out concerts. Most
recently at world class venues like: Manhattan Center, NY; Roseland
Ballroom, NY; Desoto Civic Center, in Tennessee with performers
such as: The Whispers, Stephanie Mills, Temptations, Luciano, Third
World, The Stylistics, Harold Melvin’s Blue Notes; Legendary
Intruders; The Persuaders; Peaches & Herb; The Escorts; Delfonics;
Ted Wizard Mills (Blue Magic); Meli’sa Morgan; The Chilites; Ray
Goodman & Brown; Alyson Williams, …and many more.
With more than 30 years in the concert promotion business, Ray
Chandler has an impeccable reputation as a promoter, businessman,
and as a gentleman.
