The Flawed Conscience Of Germany TIN DRUMS, LAWYERS, PIGS WITH CHARACTER, LOVERS, AND ORANGE SKY Gunter Grass was the German novelist who won the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature. His writings and lectures concentrated on the German character during and after World War II. His best-known work is The Tin Drum (1959), a 20thCentury classic. His reputation was tarnished when he revealed he was part of the Waffen-SS at the end of World War II. Richard Dysart was the actor best know for his portrayal of a white shoe lawyer on the television legal drama L.A. Law (1986-1994). Richard Bare was the long-time television director responsible for the surreal comedy Green Acres (1965-1971). Percy Sledge recorded the 1966 soul classic, When A Man Loves A Woman. Milton DeLugg was a bandleader, accordionist and composer who worked on The Tonight Show and wrote the jazz standard Orange Colored Sky. Günter Wilhelm Grass[4] (German: [ˈɡʏntɐ ˈɡʀas]; 16 October 1927 – 13 April 2015) was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.[5][6][7][8] Grass, who identified as Kashubian,[2][3][9] was born in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). As a teenager, he served briefly as a drafted soldier in the Waffen SS, and was taken prisoner of war by U.S. forces at the end of the war in May 1945. He was released in April 1946. Trained as a stonemason and sculptor, Grass began writing in the 1950s. In his fiction, he frequently returned to the Danzig of his childhood. Grass is best known for his first novel, The Tin Drum (1959), a key text in European magic realism. It was the first book of his Danzig Trilogy, the other two being Cat and Mouse and Dog Years. His works are frequently considered to have a left-wing political dimension, and Grass was an active supporter of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Tin Drum was adapted as a film of the same name, which won both the 1979 Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1999, the Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, praising him as a writer "whose frolicsome black fables portray the forgotten face of history" Percy Tyrone Sledge (November 25, 1940 – April 14, 2015) was an African American R&B, soul, gospel, and traditional pop singer. He is best known for the song "When a Man Loves a Woman", a No. 1 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts in 1966. It was awarded a million-selling, Gold-certified disc from the RIAA. Having previously worked as a hospital orderly in the early 1960s, Sledge achieved his strongest success in the late 1960s and early 1970s with a series of emotional soul songs. In later years, Sledge received the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's Career Achievement Award. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
