This review is from: Say It Loud: Black Music in America (Audio CD)

This collection of Black music covers a wide spectrum, Jazz, R&B, Rock & Roll, Blues to Religious. This takes me back to the days when you really had to search the AM dial for a station that played Black music. In all honesty I believe this recording should be a part of every music lovers collection. I feel the selections on this disc were carefully chosen by folks who know and love music. Louis Amstrong adds a little Latin on "St Louis Blues", Sam Cooke is at his best on "Hem Of His Garment". When Funkaselic gets started who can sit still. Put the disc in, sit back and enjoy.
