Résultats de "Alan Leeds" dans Toutes les catégories

The story of twentieth-century American music—what really happened, and how and why—from the right-hand man to James Brown, Prince, and D’Angelo, among others. Alan Leeds is one of the most important figures in Black music, which might sound surprising given he’s a Jewish kid from Queens...

In this riveting book - part memoir, part history - Leeds weaves a wholly new and remarkable portrait of Brown as an idiosyncratic iconoclast, determined artist, and forceful businessman. It is a rare look into a world little known to White America immediately following the Civil Rights Movement. Leeds discovers that Brown is a fascinatingly complex man, and their experiences, both business and personal, range from emotional to humorous. All the while, they navigate the complicated world of popular Black music in America, told by someone who actually lived it.
