On Thursday, April 18, 2024, Radio Milwaukee’s premier fundraising event, “Vinyl Comes Alive,” returned after a hiatus and it included presenting their first-ever lifetime achievement award to Pastor Sam Belton, legendary jazz drummer and owner of Sam’s Place Jazz Cafe presented to him at Turner Hall Ballroom.
“Receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award is not just an acknowledgment of my past accomplishments; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of perseverance, dedication, and passion that drives me forward each day,” said Belton. “I have devoted my career to jazz music, educating and entertaining for decades and I’m thankful to Radio Milwaukee for recognizing my impact on music and Milwaukee.”
