Reviews

A noted jazz critic for the New York Post, Deffaa turns his attention to the world of rhythm and blues in his latest work. He does an admirable job of providing social and historical context for the lives of six R&B pioneers?Ruth Brown, Little Jimmy Scott, Charles Brown, Floyd Dixon, LaVern Baker, and Jimmy Witherspoon. The author knows his subjects well and allows them to recount their part in the story, but he relates both their successes and their failures in his balanced text. The book includes extensive notes and a detailed selective discography. Readable and enjoyable, it will provide insights to both lay readers and scholars. Highly recommended for all libraries with an interest in rhythm and blues.?Ronald S. Russ, Brooklyn P.L.
