In stock! I'll Be There: My Life With The Four Tops - the autobiography by Duke Fakir with Kathleen McGhee-Anderson (HARDBACK VERSION) ***Order via link*** https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/ill-be-there-my-life-with-the-four-tops-duke-fakir-with-kathleen-mcghee-anderson-limited-signed-edition Spanning over decades, this is the remarkable, heartfelt memoir from Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir, the last surviving member of The Four Tops. Amidst a backdrop of Detroit, I’ll Be There features revealing anecdotes from the group’s formation, their early days as backup singers for the likes of Jackie Wilson, and their years working with Berry Gordy at the legendary Motown Records. With era-defining number ones like ‘I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)’ and ‘Reach Out I’ll Be There’ came stardom and also a more enduring reward: the love of four men who become tighter than brothers. Together they comprise one of the most celebrated R&B groups of all time. But remarkable musical success didn’t spare Fakir the pain of marital distress, soured investment deals, struggles with sobriety and the sudden loss of his brothers, all of which he covers in this confessional, unmissable book (hardback, 240 pages). https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/ill-be-there-my-life-with-the-four-tops-duke-fakir-with-kathleen-mcghee-anderson-limited-signed-edition

In stock, and at discount! Hey America! The Epic Story of Black Music and the White House (HARDBACK) - a brand new book by Stuart Cosgrove. ***Order via link*** https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/hey-america-the-epic-story-of-black-music-and-the-white-house-hardback-stuart-cosgrove The blurb: From Penderyn Music Book Prize winning author, Hey, America! is the story of how black music came from the margins of American life in the early twentieth century through to the mainstream under Barack Obama’s presidency and then was mobilised as a force for radical opposition to Donald Trump’s presidency. Embedded in the story is the triumph of black music over the many forces that had held it back – racism, segregation, undercapitalised record labels, media discrimination and political anxiety. Stuart Cosgrove explores the connection of black music industry with politics through the decades, from the spat between Louis Armstrong and President Eisenhower, Eartha Kitt’s encounter with Lady Bird Johnson, the Vietnam War’s influence on soul, James Brown’s flirtation with Nixon, and the societal impact of Hurricane Katrina to the stand-off between Trump and BLM (368 pages, hardback, 800g, new).
