Jack Daniel

Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel (c. January 1849 – October 10, 1911) was an American distiller and the founder of the Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey distillery.

Biography

Jack was the youngest of ten children born to Calaway and Lucinda (née Cook) Daniel. Jack Daniel's paternal grandparents immigrated to America in the late 18th century. His grandfather Joseph "Job" Daniel was born in Wales, while his grandmother, Elizabeth Calaway, was born in Scotland. He was of Welsh, Scots-Irish and Scottish descent.

According to one source, he was born in January 1849, in or around Lynchburg, Tennessee. A town fire had destroyed the courthouse records, and conflicting dates on his and his mother's headstones have left his date of birth in question. His mother died shortly after his birth, most likely due to complications from the childbirth. On June 26, 1851, his father remarried and then had another three children with his stepmother Matilda Vanzant.

Jack was raised in the Primitive Baptist church.

Jack Daniel (cricketer)

Jack Daniel (9 December 1923 – 12 October 2002) was an Australian sportsman who played both cricket and baseball at high levels.

Born in Leeds, England, Daniel emigrated to Melbourne at an early age with his family. Having attended Hampton High School, he made his first-grade debut for the Melbourne Cricket Club in the VCA district competition during the 1940–41 season, aged 16. Daniel enlisted in the Australian Army in September 1942, and served overseas, attaining the rank of corporal before his discharge in 1946. After his return to Australia, he continued to play for Melbourne at grade cricket level, and good form saw him selected to play for Victoria at state level against Tasmania during the 1947–48 season. Although Daniel went wicketless during the match, he was again selected to play against Tasmania in two first-class matches the following season. In the first match, a rain-ruined game held at the TCA Ground in Hobart, he recorded first-innings figures of 6/37, dismissing Tasmania's first four batsman, and then hit 44 runs in Victoria's only innings. In the next match, held at the NTCA Ground in Launceston, he took figures of 6/20 in Tasmania's first innings, helping to dismiss the side for only 65 runs.

Jack Daniel (DJ)

Jack Daniel is a DJ and radio professional who has worked in Charlotte, North Carolina radio since the mid-1970s. Daniel's first radio job in the Charlotte market was on WPEG.

When WROQ was an album rock station, Daniel served as program director. Later he became a morning host at CHR WJZR "Z-100". In 1986, Daniel became midday announcer at CHR/adult contemporary WBCY. At that time, he was also host of the TV series "Let's Dance" on WPCQ. Later that year, he was also WBCY program director. During his time at WBCY, the station made a significant ratings improvement after finally selecting a successful morning team—Randy Cook and Spiff Dingle—and increasing its focus on CHR music.

In September 1987, Daniel became program director on the station he had left in 1986, which by this time was album rock WRFX. At this time, he had been a part of Charlotte-area radio more than 12 years. By 1990, Daniel was the station's general manager. Daniel prevented popular morning hosts John Boy and Billy from leaving the station by making a deal that paid them well and gave them the chance to be syndicated.

Daniel

Daniel is a masculine given name and a surname of Hebrew origin. It means, "God is my judge", and derives from two early biblical figures, primary among them Daniel from the Book of Daniel. It is a common given name for males, and is also used as a surname. It is also the basis for various derived given names and surnames.

Background

The name evolved into over 100 different spellings in countries around the world. Nicknames (Dan, Danny) are common in both English and Hebrew, although in some instances "Dan" may be a complete given name rather than a nickname. The name "Daniil" (Даниил) is common in Russia. Feminine versions (Danielle, Daniela, Daniella, Dani, Danitza) are prevalent as well. The Dutch names "Daan" and "Daniël" are also variations of Daniel. A related surname developed as a patronymic, Daniels. Other surnames derived from "Daniel" include McDaniel and Danielson.

In the United States, the U.S. Social Security Administration reports that Daniel has peaked as the fifth most popular name for newborns in 1985, 1990, 2007, and 2008. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in the 2000 census, "Daniels" was the 182nd most common surname in the U.S., while "McDaniel" was ranked at 323, and "Daniel" (without a final "s") was ranked at 380.

Daniel (Bat for Lashes song)

"Daniel" is a song by English recording artist Bat for Lashes, from her second studio album, Two Suns. It is her best selling single to date, selling over 46,000 copies worldwide. The song was announced as the lead single from Two Suns in January 2009, then released as a digital download single on 1 March 2009, and as a 7" vinyl single on 6 April 2009. The track was written by Natasha Khan and produced by David Kosten, as with all tracks on the album. Ira Wolf Tuton from Yeasayer provided the bass lines for the song and Khan did the rest of the instrumentation herself. Khan said in an interview with The Sun newspaper that "Daniel" is based on a fictional character that she fell in love with as a teenager. The single's cover features Khan with an image of the character Daniel LaRusso, from the film The Karate Kid, painted on her back. A character much like LaRusso also features at the end of the music video which goes with the song. The B-side of the 7" is a cover version of a 1980 single by The Cure.
