With the Grammy Awards coming up this Sunday, takes a look at the Exchange’s musical past. In storage at Dallas Headquarters are plaques for gold or platinum records such as Pat Benatar’s “Crimes of Passion” (1980); Alabama’s “Feels So Right” and REO Speedwagon’s “Hi Infidelity” (both 1981), the Police’s “Synchronicity” (1983), Anita Baker’s “Rapture” (1986), the single “Be Our Guest” from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” (1991) and more.
Some of the albums—Journey’s “Frontiers” (1983), Phil Collins’ “No Jacket Required” (1985), Mariah Carey’s 1990 debut, Amy Grant’s “Heart in Motion” (1991) and Ice Cube’s “Death Certificate” (also 1991)—are enshrined in a display on the second floor of the headquarters building.
In 1977, the Exchange opened its first individual record shop, the Music Box, at the Nuernberg Area Exchange. Although PXs and BXs sold records, the stand-alone store was introduced to feature the personal touch customers got from better record shops back in the States.
The store had the largest selection in Europe, with 1,500 titles. Music Box purchases were placed in distinctive bags that were also inspired by U.S. record stores.
In October, Flashback Friday wrote about Lou Stallman, who was a cafeteria worker in the ‘50s at the Manhattan Beach Air Force Station Exchange and went on to co-write receive a Grammy nomination for co-writing “It’s Gonna Take a Miracle.” Stallman, Teddy Randazzo and Bobby Weinstein wrote the song in 1965, but the Grammy nomination came along in 1982, when Deniece Williams covered the song.
There’s at least one other successful songwriter in Exchange history. Patrecia McCurdy, a clerk-stenographer in the Command and Public Relations Division of the Exchange in the ’70s, wrote songs under the name Patty Jackson (usually in collaboration with Jerry Abbott, a Dallas-area songwriter), including “I Don’t Dream About You Anymore,” which was recorded by Freddy Fender, “Tonight She’s Giving Her Love to Him,” recorded by Joe Stampley, and “When it Comes to Cowgirls,” recorded by Stampley and Moe Bandy.

to 12 years ago this week—protests against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s regime broke out in Egypt, where the streets of downtown Cairo were filled with thousands of protesters. Mass arrests, injuries and a few deaths occurred during the protest.
Two associates from the Kaiserlautern Military Community Center at Ramstein Air Base in Germany were helping with inventory the Exchange’s store in the U.S. Embassy, just steps away from the protests. About 200 people sought refuge in the embassy. Winds blew tear gas over the building, but no injuries were reported.
Sherif Ibrahim, who managed the Exchange store in the embassy, and his team worked around the clock to keep the store open—and to provide food to people seeking refuge in the embassy. They also made sure the KMCC associates were safe while looting, fires and overwhelming noise were occurring outside.
Then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton congratulated Ibrahim for his team’s work in supporting embassy operations.
The Exchange recently marked 80 years of support in the Middle East and Southwest Asia. Cairo was also the site of the Middle East’s first documented PX, which opened Nov. 22, 1942. A month later, a PX opened in the Iranian desert to serve the first U.S. forces deployed to Iran during World War II. It was austere in more than just location: For its first eight months, it had no refrigeration, meaning no cold drinks or fresh meat.
The Exchange still operates a store at the Cairo embassy, as well as more than a dozen stores in the Southwest Asia region encompassing Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
