Product Description
Product Description
This volume chronicles more than 40 years of black music: from the hopeful, angry refrains of the Freedom Movement to the slick pop of Motown; from Woodstock and the "Summer of Love" to Vietnam and the race riots; from disco inferno to the Million Man March. This is a study which looks at the place black music occupies in social history, its battle for the desegregation of popular music and its contribution to social change outside the recording studio.
About the Author
