Product Description:
Chronicled in "A Touch of Classic Soul" are the careers of 35 of the top soul singers of the early 1970s. The author conducted interviews with most of the artists and profiled others. They describe how their careers began, how they got their first professional break, how some of their biggest hits were created, the major events in their careers, their triumphs and downfalls, and what keeps them performing today. Includes Al Green, the Delfonics, Isaac Hayes, the O'Jays, Barry White, the Spinners, Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Dells, the Ohio Players, the Stylistics, the Emotions and more. Author Marc Taylor often had to catch artists backstage, on-tour, or for example interviewing Blue Magic at 2:00 after a performance.
