Description
Soul music was born in the midst of the American Civil Rights movement, evolving alongside the country's social and cultural landscape. This genre of music drew inspiration from local traditions and unique musicians, producers, and writers, ultimately giving every city its own distinct identity. For Howard Priestley, the title "Art and Soul" encapsulates a significant aspect of his life and work. As an artist who has written about the music that inspired his paintings and collaborated with Funk artists, he brings a fresh perspective to the subject. His book explores the United States through a vibrant spectrum of colours, revealing the country's rich cultural heritage. Through Priestley's words, the importance of African-American contributions to the recording industry is highlighted, including their role in pushing creators' rights, developing record labels, and supporting communities and local economies. The resulting music - a testament to harmony between black and white Americans - remains timeless and evocative.
