As a group, CHARAS was interested in physically altering the housing conditions in their immediate neighborhood, the Lower East Side.

The original was born Jerry Williams Jr. in Portsmouth, Virginia in 1942. He first won fame as a 12-year old soul singer called Little Jerry–before he later decided, at the end of the 1960s and after several hit records, to create a new identity for making music and mischief.  Thus did Little Jerry become Swamp Dogg—a  legendary singer, songwriter and record producer whose singular voice and ideas have shaped the history not merely of soul music, but of country and hip-hop and a dozen other genres.  He also made history in the music business, early in his career, as the first Black  A\u0026amp;R man at Atlantic Records, where he oversaw music by The Drifters and Gary US Bond–just two of the storied acts whose sounds he’s shaped. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut if music is Swamp Dogg’s first love, this fabled man of taste has another one: food.  In 1972, Swamp Dogg proclaimed that he would write a cookbook so transformative that the legacies of culinary giants like Julia Child, Betty Crocker, James Beard, and even Colonel Sanders would pale in comparison. He stated that \"It is the book that Hemingway wanted to write and that Agatha Christie couldn’t.”  Now, more than 50 years later, that book is finally here. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf You Can Kill It I Can Cook \u003c\/em\u003eIt \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a book for those who appreciate recipes seasoned with personality and history, and stories to go with dinner.
