This book looked at the emergence of rock n roll and rhythm and blues influences and then into Motown and Detroit. The hook I guess is how "Dancing in the Street" became a Motown song that was a happy dance song to some and others became a rallying cry for the '60 protests. I have read more than a few of Mark Kurlansky's books and I really like the way he does the research but also lays it out in an easy to read fashion. Lots of info here about music and bands/singers of the '60s.
There are 2 WL for the book but not sure if will keep and handout to friends that might be interested.
