Isaias Gamboa (April 22, 1963) is a Costa Rican-American music producer and author born in San Jose to parents of Spanish and Afro-Caribbean ancestry. His mother, Carmen Gamboa Beckles, was from the mostly black coastal city of Puerto Limon. His father, Danilo Gamboa Mora, came from the predominantly white provincial city of San Ramón.
A music industry veteran, he has written, produced and arranged more than 20 songs for The Temptations and other major recording artists. [1]
Gamboa has a rich religious heritage. His mother was Baptist, and his father Catholic. He can also claim Jewish heritage through his maternal grandmother, Louise Teitelbaum. This background, along with his musical expertise, has inspired and informed several important projects in his life, noteable among them his 2012 book, [2]}} [3] [4]
We Shall Overcome: Sacred Song on the Devil’s Tongue is a biography of Louise Shropshire (1913-1993), songwriter and close friend of the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King. Shropshire played an important role in the creation of the iconic freedom song, “We Shall Overcome.” The song has been credited to “Unknown” for more than 50 years, but recently uncovered facts (presented in Gamboa’s book) trace Shropshire’s uncredited involvement with the freedom standard to her 1954 hymn, “If My Jesus Wills,” from which prima facie and other evidence indicates “We Shall Overcome” was derived. [5]
Louise Shropshire's papers were acquired late in 2014 by the University of Cincinnati. [6]
According to The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, the Shropshire collection includes photographs, family memorabilia, letters, sheet music and other documents. The collection is held in UC’s Archives and Rare Books Library, located on the eighth floor of Blegen Library. [7]
