Download or read book Nowhere To Run written by Gerri Hirshey and published by Da Capo Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1994-08-21 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul evolved from gospel and blues to speak to an entire generation—black and white—about the importance of pride, freedom, determination, and R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Nowhere to Run examines the lives behind the legends of soul with energy, warmth, and emotion—the same qualities that characterized songs such as ”Baby, I Need Your Loving,” ”Papa's Got a Brand New Bag,” and ”I Heard It Through the Grapevine.” Author Gerri Hirshey takes us on a bus tour with the Temptations and on the backroads of rural Georgia with James Brown. Diana Ross reminisces about her lean teen years in Detroit; at home in California, ex-Supreme Mary Wilson fills out the story. ”The Wicked” Wilson Pickett tells his best stories long after the midnight hour in a New York City dressing room. And Michael Jackson, driving his Camaro and singing along to the radio, talks about opening shows for the great soul acts when he was a child.But soul faded, giving way to disco, rap, and black pop. And the artists who once captured the heart of the world soon had, as Martha and the Vandellas' 1965 hit put it, “Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide.” In this enthralling narrative, Gerri Hirshey captures the triumphs and failures of soul like no one else before or since, telling the soul story through the eyes of those who lived the dream—and the often harsh reality.

Download or read book Move On Up written by Aaron Cohen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Chicago Tribune Book of 2019, Notable Chicago Reads A Booklist Top 10 Arts Book of 2019 A No Depression Top Music Book of 2019 Curtis Mayfield. The Chi-Lites. Chaka Khan. Chicago’s place in the history of soul music is rock solid. But for Chicagoans, soul music in its heyday from the 1960s to the 1980s was more than just a series of hits: it was a marker and a source of black empowerment. In Move On Up, Aaron Cohen tells the remarkable story of the explosion of soul music in Chicago. Together, soul music and black-owned businesses thrived. Record producers and song-writers broadcast optimism for black America’s future through their sophisticated, jazz-inspired productions for the Dells and many others. Curtis Mayfield boldly sang of uplift with unmistakable grooves like “We’re a Winner” and “I Plan to Stay a Believer.” Musicians like Phil Cohran and the Pharaohs used their music to voice Afrocentric philosophies that challenged racism and segregation, while Maurice White of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Chaka Khan created music that inspired black consciousness. Soul music also accompanied the rise of African American advertisers and the campaign of Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington, in 1983. This empowerment was set in stark relief by the social unrest roiling in Chicago and across the nation: as Chicago’s homegrown record labels produced rising stars singing songs of progress and freedom, Chicago’s black middle class faced limited economic opportunities and deep-seated segregation, all against a backdrop of nationwide deindustrialization. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and a music critic’s passion for the unmistakable Chicago soul sound, Cohen shows us how soul music became the voice of inspiration and change for a city in turmoil.

Download or read book Invisible Soul written by Carlo Wolff and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to set the record straight by telling a Black story shot through with white participation. It's as much about race as it is about music. It's about a period 40 to 70 years ago when the call for civil rights, for an end to economic inequality, and for Black power tore cities apart-and at the same time gave rise to music of lasting expressiveness and groove.Blacks tuned into songs by artists who recorded on a gang of local labels and major labels such as Motown, Stax, Volt, Atlantic and Philadelphia International. In the '60s and into the '70s, Motown hitmakers in particular appealed to Black and white alike.Soul music was the soundtrack for civil rights. It was the voice of protest and freedom, too, from Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" to the Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," the Impressions' "People Get Ready," and "Respect," a defiant Otis Redding hit that Aretha Franklin covered even more successfully. In confronting social issues, soul music presented a reality rarely touched on by mainstream rock.A deep love soul music can ease despair about today's circumstances -political polarization, climate crises, violence, economic inequality, intransigence over gender issues. The appreciation of soul music can be a restorative for our fraught souls.
