  Joe Glazer, at 88; his music set tone for labor movement - The Boston Globe
Glazer used his ability to sing and play to help land a job with the Textile Workers Union of America, which was looking for someone to boost the morale of striking millworkers on picket lines across the South and New England.
Glazer in the 1950s was the union version of ``We Shall Overcome," derived from Charles Tindley's 1900 hymn, ``I'll Overcome Some Day," which, by the 1960s, became the anthem of the US civil rights movement.
Glazer was among a generation of intellectuals attracted to the mid-20th-century industrial unionism exemplified by the Congress of Industrial Organizations as the most promising hope for social justice for working men and women in the United States.

 Joe Glazer; Music Set Tone for Labor Movement - washingtonpost.com
Joe Glazer, the troubadour of the U.S. labor movement who performed, composed and collected the songs of work and protest for 60 years around the globe, died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Sept. 19 at his home in Chevy Chase.
Glazer performed over a lifetime at countless union rallies and conventions, at civil rights marches, at campaign rallies for Democratic Party candidates at all levels and at hundreds of civic events in the Washington area, where he lived most of his adult life.
Glazer made his living as a labor educator for two trade unions and the U.S. Information Agency, which dispatched him to Mexico during the administration of President John F. Kennedy.

 BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Man Utd | What will be the Glazer effect?
Glazer, for all his distance from Old Trafford, will know Ferguson retains massive popularity and will not want to further fire up the wrath of his new customers by unseating a legend almost immediately after winning control.
If Glazer, as his thousands of detractors insist, is purely in it for the money, then he is highly unlikely to adopt policies that would ruin a club that became the most profitable in the world into the ground.
Glazer's investment will need to be recouped somewhere - fans fear prices will be hiked up almost as high as his trousers, whether it is season tickets or car park spaces.

 Glazer Family Foundation : About Us
Glazer has also continued to upgrade off the field, hiring Bruce Allen, a veteran of four decades in both professional and collegiate football, as the third general manager in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history on January 9, 2004.
Additionally, Glazer, after many years in business, continues to display his personal trademark of accomplishing the “impossible.” He devoted a significant amount of time working to make the organization more fan-friendly by greatly expanding fan activities at Buccaneer home games through the formation of the club’s special events department in 1997.
Glazer’s input has been sought on the league level as well, as evidenced by his position on the NFL’s Finance Committee, one of the most prestigious working groups of owners in the league.

Glazer was here just this past spring, in association with a Wisconsin Film Festival screening of "Labor's Troubadour," a documentary on his life that was directed by UW-Madison alumnus Hope Moskowitz.
Glazer was working on a master's in mathematics at UW-Madison -- and also teaching physics to Air Force students at Truax Field -- while Millie, who was also a student here, was absorbed in labor economics.
An event was arranged in Chicago, and afterward, Glazer and Townsend went down to the working class Billy Goat Tavern, where Glazer dazzled Townsend with his energy and storytelling and at one point said how much he liked Chicago with all its rough edges, the stockyards included.
