A photographic collection of one insider’s compelling images from the remarkable era of Rhythm and Blues music.
Benny Joseph made his living as a professional photographer in Houstons Black community during the crucial decades from the 1950s through the early 1980s, when the amplified pulse of rhythm and blues underscored the social changes sweeping the nation. Joseph photographed everything from parades and teen hops to impassioned speeches by civil rights leaders Martin Luther King, Jr., and Thurgood Marshall.
Under contract to the pioneering Black entrepreneur Don Robey, owner of the Duke and Peacock recording labels, Joseph photographed many of the popular recording artists of the day, including B.B. King, Mahalia Jackson, Buddy Ace, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, and Della Reese.
Author and filmmaker Alan Govenar met Joseph in 1984 and worked with him to sift through thousands of his photo negatives to identify and contextualize his most compelling images of this remarkable era. The result is this book.
With over 120 unique black and white photographs, The Early Years of Rhythm and Blues is a must have for all R&B enthusiasts, and a valuable historical resource for photography collectors.[AuthorName]By Alan Govenar[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Alan Govenar is a writer, folklorist, photographer, and filmmaker.He is president of Documentary Arts and is the author of eighteen books on American history and folklore.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]over 120 b/w and color photos[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle][/SubTitle][ColorPattern]over 120 b/w and color photos[/ColorPattern]
