Description

Explore the life and legacy of a blues icon with Josh White: Society Blues from Routledge. This book follows the journey of a man born in South Carolina who spent his childhood as a lead boy for traveling blind bluesmen. After moving to New York in the early 1930s, White rose to become a popular blues star and a key figure in introducing folk-blues to mass audiences during the 1940s. Readers will learn about his time as the king of Cafe Society, a famous venue that was also home to Billie Holiday. White was a consistent draw for New York nightspots and broke barriers as the first black singer-guitarist to star on Broadway and act in Hollywood films. This work covers his reputation for strong Civil Rights songs that made him a favorite of the Roosevelts, as well as his famous stage persona. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of blues, folk music, and the cultural impact of a performer who bridged the gap between traditional blues and mainstream success.
