Born In A Car Crash - A Guide To Choice 1950s And 1960s Rhythm & Blues 45s

 

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.
