- Summary:
- "The Beatles and Black Music discusses the influence that Black music and culture had over the Beatles. The book adopts a musicological and historiographic account to demonstrate the extent to which Liverpool's colonial history influenced the Beatles' music. From the Beatles teenage years in the 1950s, their association with Lord Woodbine, and their love of American R&B in the mid-1960s to post-colonial British identity and the lasting effect Black music has had on the Beatles' legacy, this book is the first to explore the Beatles from this important cultural lens"-- Provided by publisher.
