Reviews

"A must read for serious students of black music history."-Journal of African American History "An important and valuable contribution to the literature of twentieth-century popular music."-American Historical Review "Goosman challenges major myths, conventional wisdom, and historical inaccuracies concerning black popular music between 1940 and 1960. . . . A groundbreaking study."-Popular Music and Society "With haunting voices and compelling arguments, Group Harmony brings us to a deeper awareness of the traditions, convictions, and energies, as well as the talent, that brought forth the R&B group sound. As oral history and social portrait, this is the story we need to hear about a music we'll never forget."—Charles McGovern, College of William and Mary and the Smithsonian Institution
