This text tells the tale of the high times and hard times of six of
the greatest living rhythm and blues artists. The author profiles
Ruth Brown, the most popular female black singer of the early
1950s; La Vern Baker, who succeeded Brown; Little Jimmy Scott, whom
Madonna calls the only singer who ever really made her cry; Charles
Brown, master of the club blues style he popularized; Floyd Dixon,
a more rambunctious fellow traveler; and Jimmy Witherspoon, whose
blend of earthiness and urbanity helped earn him as big an r&b
hit as was ever recorded. Chip Deffaa deals not only with the
performers' music, but also with their struggles against racism and
financial exploitation.
