About The Book
“Born In A Car Crash” is a guide to 1950s and 60s
rhythm and blues 45s - artifacts of an incredibly
fertile period of black American music and a time of
signifi cant cultural upheaval. R&B was a constant thread
through the complex tapestry of racial segregation,
international confl ict, and the civil rights movement.
The universal appeal of 1950s and 60s R&B continues
to bring disparate groups of society together during
incredibly divisive political times.
“Born In A Car Crash” highlights essential tracks from
an era of profound creativity, entrepreneurship, and
inspiration. It aims to shine a light on the musicians,
producers, and labels that leveraged everything they
had to create music for the people.
