Age toning. "This passionate and provocative book tells the complete story of black music in the last fifty years, and in doing so outlines the perilous position of black culture within white American society. In a fast-paced narrative, Nelson George's book chronicles the rise and fall of 'race music' and its transformation into the R&B that eventually dominated the airwaves only to find itself diluted and submerged as crossover music. / Nelson George is an award-winning author of both fiction and nonfiction. He has written for Playboy, Billboard, Esquire, the Village Voice, Essence, and many other national magazines, as well as writing and producing television programs and feature films." - Publisher. Very Good.
