Fever: Little Willie John, A Fast Life, Mysterious Death and the Birth of Soul
"A long overdue and heartfelt, in-depth portrait of one of rhythm & blues' most tragically overlooked vocal stars. Susan Whitall once again reminds us why she is one of the most passionate and knowledgeable curators of Detroit music." -- Allan Slutsky, author of "Standing in the Shadows of Motown." Music biography
Women of Motown (Avon)
"Women of Motown digs beneath the veneer of the Motown publicity machine..." --Scott Westerman, keener13.com “...Motown buffs will relish hearing a few more voices add to the lore: the rise and drawn-out demise of Mary Wells; on the road with Diana Ross; the sequined dresses; the rivalries, the romances; the summer 'Dancing in the Street' was banned in some cities for inciting riots.” --Paige Smoron, The Chicago Sun-Times |
Women of Motown"Women of Motown is so interesting, especially for those who have a full appreciation of this sort of thing, that you might find yourself reading the whole book in one sitting ... (the book) takes readers on the road, into the recording studio, and a number of other places. But most importantly, it takes them into the hearts and minds of the ladies." --Steve Holsey, the Michigan Chronicle |
