Abstract:
"Black British Music in America 1967-2000: Atlantic Crossover historically examines musical and cultural relationships through popular music recordings, exploring the transatlantic journeys via academic, critical and commercial reception of the music. It addresses an overlooked area of Black popular music, investigating the fluctuating fortunes of artists and the contradictions of exporting such recordings to America. Examining a complex history spanning the last four decades of the twentieth century, the author reveals the chronologies, and the recording industry circumstances shaping the presence of Black British music in America. Readers will discover the conditions under which key recordings were made and released, through detailed analysis and new interviews with participating producers and artists. Including exploration of chart histories, this book also dissects the content of the recordings, uncovering the elements that made many of them successful. Black British Music in America 1967-2000 will interest all those who study popular music, cultural studies, and music production, as well as popular music listeners"--
