A Change is Gonna Come chronicles more than forty years of black music: from the hopeful, angry refrains of the Freedom movement to the slick pop of Motown; from Woodstock and the 'Summer of Love' to Vietnam and the race riots; from disco inferno to the Million Man March."No one has written this way about music in a long, long time. Lucid, insightful, with a real spiritual, political, intellectual and emotional grasp of the whole picture. A book about why music matters and how, and to whom."
