Trade Review
"In his own voice, Stamz describes the rough-and-tumble world of early soul radio, the payola system that supplied everything from drugs to food, and the relationships between disc jockeys and independent record companies."--Booklist
"A fascinating narrative about an era that is still underresearched. . . . A welcome addition to what we know about the evolution of black radio."--Journal of Illinois History

“This story makes an indelible contribution to the field of African American studies. Readers not only get a story that opens them to the world of Richard Stamz; it opens them to the world that African Americans had made for themselves in the last century.”--Robert Pruter, from the foreword of Give 'Em Soul, Richard!
