3.0 out of 5 stars Radio Interview, November 28, 2004

This review is from: Making Magic in the World (Audio Cassette)

This is a recording of a one hour radio interview of Maya Angelou by Michael Toms. For the most part, Toms asks predictable, softball questions. Fortunately, Angelou is a gifted speaker who loves to expand on topics and tell stories. Highlights of this interview are Angelou's description of her journey from muteness to speech, and her meeting with Malcolm X in Ghana just after his pilgrimage to Mecca. The tape doesn't have many surprises, nor does it go into any great detail about Angelou's accomplishments or philosophy. Nevertheless, listening to it may provide a pleasing past time to her fans. Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the tape is the fact that it allows the listener to hear Angelou's voice and her unique blend of Southern African American accent over-layed with the classical sounds of educated American women of the 1940s, mixed with vocal souvenirs from far-away lands and peoples.
