This page is about trumpeter Stephen Hawkins, who was in the Chicago-based 70s soul\/funk band, The South Side Movement<\/a>. As I explain in My Library public list compiled at Google Books<\/a> which is linked below, at times he is referred to as Steve Hawkins, and, as you can see from the record cover below, the band’s name on its first album was indeed The South Side Movement, but later album releases — after Hawkins was no longer in the band — deemed the band Southside Movement. I have taken ALL of this into account in looking up information on this band’s founding professional trumpeter and popular songwriter, whose name I will never misspell, because how hard is “Dad” to spell–? I explained to him he was one of my first deep dive research subjects — and if you foresee yourself doing something similar, it’s more accurately described as research and correct!<\/strong><\/em> — but really, it’s just talk until you show your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, as of September 23, 2021, Stephen is no longer with us<\/strong>. Feel free to leave a comment below or to contact me<\/a> if you knew him or have a memory to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
