Franklin Haynes

From Promo literature included with 99 Proof: (Transcribed as written) Franklin "Cindefella" Haynes, is 99% Proof, proof that it can be accomplished in short dreams as well as long dreams, in small town such as Lumberton, Texas as well as big cities like New York, not often, but it is possible. Franklin has the good looks, talent, and persistence to be a number one country recording artist. Not that good looks and persistence are or are not the key ingredients, but they sure do help, and I don't know anyone who would turn either one down. Franklin admits Garth Brooks and Travis Tritt are his greatest inspiration to become a singer, but, unlike others, Franklin never sang in bars or concerts, or at picnics. Franklin Haynes only sang in his pickup truck, traveling the highways and byways of Southwest Texas. Franklin's friends suggested he enter a talent contest in Beaumont, Texas, he did, and won the contest, pleasing the crowd with his magical voice. Seven days later, Franklin Haynes was on his way to Nashville to record his first record release with A.M.I. Records. This quickly led to a video and a fie year recording contract. Franklin Haynes, a medicine man (as in doctor) yesterday, a recording artist today. A.M.I. Records President, Michael Radford says "he has never seen it happen quite so fast for any "up" and "coming" star," and is happy with Kvin Waugh, A.M.I VP viewed the video of the Beaumont Texas Talent show with Franklin's performance. His enthusiasm quickly spread throughout the company, "A.M.I. is very excited about working with Franklin. Franklin makes the crowd come alive, as you would have found had you visited his press and signing party sponsored by A.M.I in Beaumont, Texas where Franklin debuted his new single and video and signed autographs. On hand were two of the three local T.V stations, both local news papers as well as the top two Country Radio Stations to interview him for feature "home boy makes good" news stories. Later that same evening he gave a superb performance to a filled house, at the Barbaray Coast Night Club. The folks around Beaumont and Lumberton are mighty proud of this musical newcomer. Watch for his first Music Video "99% PROOF", being aired on such major networks as TNN and CMT, and his first CD release of the same title. You'll find cameo performances in the video by David Chamberlain, writer of 99% PROOF and of such #1 hits as ** George Straights "AM I BLUE" ** "WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR WORLD" ** TANYA TUCKER'S "WITHOUT YOU WHAT AM I GONNA' DO WITH ME". If you are ever in an area where FRANKLIN HAYNES is appearing, make sure you catch his show, you will be glad for the experience of seeing his performance and you will be a fan from then on. So...the sleepy little town of Lumberton, Texas has a real, true to life Cindefella story and they're mighty proud of it. Thanks Garth and Travis for the inspiration!!!
