Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 In the 1960s, there was a black house on Murdock Avenue that belonged to singer James Brown, across from Addisleigh Park. Kids would hang out outside his house and wait for him to appear. He never did.#2 The song of every person’s life is embodied in the life and times of James Brown. For African Americans, the song of our entire history is embodied in the life and times of James Brown.#3 James Brown was an American singer, songwriter, and bandleader who revolutionized music. He sold more than 200 million records, recorded 321 albums, and made 45 gold records. He was the first to fuse jazz into popular funk. His influence created several categories of music now tabulated by Billboard, Variety, Downbeat, and Rolling Stone.#4 The South is a difficult place to understand or capture. It is a land shaped by a history of slavery and oppression, and its self-definition defies simple explanation. The people who live there are tricksters and shape-shifters, magicians and carnival barkers.
