A change is gonna come - Craig Werner

Chronicles more than 40 years of contemporary black music, from the hopeful, angry refrains of the freedom movement to the slick pop of Motown; from Woodstock to the war in Vietnam and the race riots that inspired Marvin Gaye to write What's Going On'; from the disco inferno to the Million Man March. 'This book is urgently needed: a comprehensive look at the various forms of black popular music, both as music and as seen in a larger social context. No one can do this better than Craig Werner.' - Henry Louis Gates Jr'
