The Life Of James
Brown
£4.99
This book is a definitive biography of James Brown, an extraordinary & controversial superstar, that encompasses his entire life until his death on Christmas Day 2006.

Product Description

The definitive biography of the Queen of Soul from acclaimed music writer David Ritz.

Aretha Franklin begain life as the golden daughter of a progressive & promiscuous Baptist preacher.

Raised without her mother, she was a gospel prodigy who have birth to two sons in her teens & left them & her native Detriot for New York, where she struggled to find her true voice.

It was not until 1967, when a white Jewish producer insisted she return to her gospel-soul roots, that fame & fortune finally came via Respect & a rapidfire string of hits. She has evolved ever since, amidst personal tragedy, surprise Grammy performances & career reinventions.

Again & again, Aretha stubbornly finds a way to triumph over troubles, even as they continue to build. Her hold on the crown is tenacious, & in RESPECT, David Ritz gives us the definitive life of one of the greatest talents in all American culture.
