Notable Moments Of Women In Music | |
Book
Review By Willard Manus
Another worthy
new book is NOTABLE MOMENTS OF WOMEN IN MUSIC by Jay Warner, a 456-page
release by Hal Leonard which looks back over the long, colorful and illustrious
history of women in music--the vaudeville and minstrel headliners, the
gospel shouters, blues and jazz belters, punk hellraisers, folk singers
and pop stars. The list is long but Warner, a six-time Grammy-winning
music publisher, writes incisively about his subject, shedding light on
the lives and accomplishments of such divas as Barbra Streisand, Madonna,
Bessie Smith, Patsy Cline, the Dixie Chicks and Alicia Keyes. |
