Gerald Early, an award-winning music, sports, and popular-culture
scholar, brings us a concise study of Motown Records, one of the
most famous and successful black-owned businesses in American
history, and, arguably, the most significant of all American
independent record labels.
Early tells the story of the historical and cultural conditions
that made this record company possible, including the dramatic
shifts in American popular music, changes in race relations and
racial attitudes, and the rise of a black urban population. Early
concentrates in particular on the 1960s and 70s, when Motown had
its biggest impact on American musical tastes and styles. In
addition, he provides an up-to-date bibliography of the major books
that have been written about Motown Records specifically, and black
American music generally. With new appendices featuring interviews
with four of the major creators of the Motown Sound: Berry Gordy,
Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and Marvin Gaye.
Gerald Early is Merle Kling Professor of Modern Letters in the
Department of Arts and Sciences at Washington University. His book,
"The Culture of Bruising: Essays on Prizefighting, Literature, and
Modern American Culture, won the 1994 National Book Critics Circle
Award for criticism.
