Download or read book White Boy Singin' The Blues written by Michael Bane and published by Da Capo Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1992-03-21 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White Boy Singin' the Blues is both a musical history of Memphis, the city which gave birth to rock'n'roll, and an examination of the ways in which white and black musics have interacted. In this work, Michael Bane examines the whole history of the music, from the black roots of spirituals and blues, through the beginnings of rock'n'roll, and its evolution through the Twist, the British Invasion, Motown, funk, Southern boogie, and disco. The result is an idiosyncratic history of rock, and a culturally penetrating account of this hybrid music.
