  53919: Tyrone A. Davis, Jr., v. Baylor University, et al., Respondents.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Davis brought an action against Baylor University, located in Waco, Texas, and against a number of its employees, alleging tortious conduct in connection with their efforts to ensure that he would play for Baylor's basketball team.
Davis alleged that, because of the tortious conduct of the defendants, he was forced to miss a season of intercollegiate competition, and his opportunities for a lucrative career in professional basketball were reduced.
Davis argues that at the heart of this case is the fact that Baylor came to Missouri to recruit him, and if Baylor had not initiated such contact with him in Missouri, none of the events giving rise to his cause of action would have occurred.

 Tyrone Davis, by Bill Pollak
Tyrone Davis was no Hoochie Coochie Man; he was a warm, vulnerable, expressive stylist who enveloped songs in his big, deep baritone and delivered them with passion and finely honed craft.
At Columbia, Davis made his lushest recordings, the best of which were exquisite ballads such as "In the Mood," "Close to You," and "Heart Failure." After leaving Columbia, Davis and Graham produced a dizzying array of discs on various labels, scoring one major hit with the novelty song "Mom's Apple Pie" (1991).
Although Davis's first recording for Malaco Records of Jackson, Mississippi ([Simply Tyrone Davis], 1996) was disappointing, there is reason to hope that the last of the great soul labels will be able to energize Davis's career as it has the careers of Z.Z. Hill, Bobby Bland, Johnnie Taylor, Shirley Brown, Little Milton, and many others.
