Welcome to Indigenous in the News with Larry K and Gary Wilcox. On today's show, we’re honored to bring you one of the last interviews recorded with the late Tom Bee this past summer. It was a privilege to have him on the show and learn about his remarkable journey—from founding the Native band XIT, to initially managing the band before stepping into the role of lead singer. XIT made history as the first Native American band to sign with a major record label, and Tom’s extraordinary career later earned him two Grammy Awards. Tom’s life spanned 82 remarkable years, during which he touched the hearts of many with his kindness, wisdom, and love. A man of many talents and passions, he approached everything with a tireless work ethic and an unwavering dedication to excellence.
Tom was born on November 8, 1941, in Gallup, New Mexico, and who passed away on July 25, 2024, in Albuquerque, was a true legend. It was an honor to have him as a guest on my music show, Indigenous in Music, this past June. I’m grateful to share our interview with all of you.
Some of his numerous achievements include:
1) Winning two Grammy Awards.
2) Writing the song "(We've Got) Blue Skies" recorded by Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 which appeared on the worldwide hit album "Maybe tomorrow."
3) Coproducing and writing the song "Joyful Jukebox Music" for the Jackson 5.
4) Singing and writing the backing vocals for the song "Just My Soul Responding" for Smokey Robinson on his first solo album "Smokey."
5) Obtaining a writer, artist, and producer contract with Motown records which led to the internationally acclaimed albums "Plight of the Redman" and Silent Warrior" by Xit.
6) Writing the song "Red Hot," recorded by Taka Boom (sister of Chaka Khan) a top Billboard Disco Dance Chart hit.
7) Writing the song "Don't Be Two Faced," recorded by the top selling rockabilly artist Shakin' Stevens for his highly successful album "the Bop Won't Stop."
8) Working with legendary Producer Gary S. Paxton (Alley Oop by the Hollywood Argyles, Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett, and Cherish by the Association).
9) Receiving the "Eagle Spirit Award" from the America Film Institute in San Francisco.
10) Receiving the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the First Americans in the Arts in Beverly Hills.
11) Receiving the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from Four Directions Entertainment in New York.
12) Being the recipient of the "Will Sampson Award" from the First Americans in the Arts.
13) Winning the "Producer of the Year Award" at the First Annual "Native American Music Awards" (NAMMY's).
14) Receiving of the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the "Native American Music Awards" (NAMMY's).
15) Having July 27, 2002 being proclaimed "Tom Bee Day" by Mayor Martin Chavez in recognition of Tom's accomplishments within the music industry as a recording artist, songwriter, record producer and multi-award winner.
16) Persuading NARAS to recognize the musical contributions of Native Americans by establishing a Native America category at the Grammy Awards.
17) Being CEO and founder of SOAR (Sound of America Records)
As we say goodbye to Tom, we take comfort in the memories he shared with us. He will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, and his spirit will continue to inspire us.

Sonic Café, from 1982 that’s ABC with the look of love, so hey welcome to the café, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 415. This time the Sonic Café remembers the humor of Ronald Reagan who served as our 40th president from 1981-1989. Before politics, Reagan made 52 movies, including his portrayal of George Gipp in the movie Knute Rockne All American, which would be rejuvenated when reporters called Reagan “The Gipper” while he campaigned for the US presidency, a nickname that stuck for life. He was known for disarming situations with his sense of humor. We’ll spin and old 60 minutes piece about his humor, and we’ve scattered samples of his jokes throughout the show. Our music mix is a pure flashback to the 1980’s. Listen for Haircut 100, Blondie, The Pretenders, Robbie Dupree, The Cars, Gerry Rafferty, Duran Duran and of course many more as the Sonic Café presents the Gipper, the humor of Ronald Reagan from our little café way out here on the Oregon coast. Time to get Rick Rolled, here’s Rick Astley, Never Gonna Give You Up from 1982, and we’re the Sonic Café.
I am retiring this show and so this will be the last Thunderbolt to ever strike the airwaves — and I have put together a show featuring all the best Thunderbolts from 2013 and 2014 — the first two years and, frankly, the best two years in the history of this show.
It has been my very great honour and pleasure to produce this show for all these years, and I hope that maybe a few of you maybe learned a few valuable things whilst simultaneously being entertained.
So enjoy the show — and then I bid you adieu…
