The illuminating essayscomplete with music history, social commentary, and personal appraisalsdouble as a mini-history of popular music. Here you will find singles by artists as wide-ranging as Aretha Franklin, George Jones, Roy Orbison, the Sex Pistols, Madonna, Run-D.M.C., and Van Halen. Featuring a new preface that covers the hitsand missesof the '90s, The Heart of Rock & Soul remains as provocative, passionate, and timeless as the music it praises.
