Book Synopsis
Highlights the Black female artists of the 1950s, a time that predated the chart-topping girl groups of the early 1960s. Many of the singers of this era became wildly famous and respected, and even made it into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. However, there were many others, who made one or two great records and then disappeared from the scene.

Trade Review
A singular look and fully researched account of the women singers who were trailblazers in the early 1950s as R&B evolved into rock ’n’ roll." - Aaron Cohen, author of Move On Up: Chicago Soul Music and Black Cultural Power and Aretha Franklin's 'Amazing Grace'

"An encyclopedic history that conveys important contributions of individual artists as well as the collective body of women singers." - Frank Matheis, contributing writer for Living Blues, publisher of thecountryblues.com, and coauthor of Sweet Bitter Blues: Washington, DC's Homemade Blues
