Chicago Soul chronicles the emergence of Chicago soul music out of the city's thriving rhythm-and-blues industry from the late 1950s through the late 1970s. The performers, A&R men, producers, distributors, deejays, studios, and labels that made it all happen take center stage in this first book to document the stunning rise and success of the Windy City as a soul music recording center.''An important addition to the legacy of black popular music and a must read for anyone remotely interested in the history of the music business in Chicago.''--Chicago Tribune ''It already seems the book of record on the subject.''--Variety ''An amazing piece of work that reveals just how vital a soul scene there was in the Windy City.''--Jazztimes ''Meticulously detailed.''--Village Voice
