Abstract:
In midcentury America, it was soul music, particularly the recordings of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Curtis Mayfield, that helped bring the gopsel vision of the black church into the mainstream, energizing the era's social movements and defining a new American gospel where the sacred and secular met. --book jacket.
