Abstract:
"Boogaloo - the synonym of choice among the cognoscenti for rhythm and blues - is a stylish and profound meditation on the art, influence, and commerce of black American popular music. Arthur Kempton reveals the tensions between the sacred and the profane at the heart of "soul music," and the complex centrality of "Aframericans" in the evolution of our mass musical culture. What that culture is all about, who owns it, and who gets paid - these are issues of moment in his epic narrative."--BOOK JACKET.
