Summary

1. "R&B in DC 1940-1960 is a comprehensive survey of Washington, D.C.'s contribution to the rise of Rhythm & Blues music from the swing era to the dawn of soul. This detailed history places music made by performers with significant ties to the Washington region in the context of the local and national scene. From street corner vocal quartets to national stars, over 100 artist biographies - from Billy Eckstine, Baby Dee, TNT Tribble, and The Clovers to Frank Motley, The Crawford Brothers, Lloyd Price, and Don Covay - trace the development of the D.C. sound. Based on a chronology drawn from extensive research in contemporary sources, it includes vignettes on local record companies, the African-American press, and radio and television in the Washington area. It illustrates the role of Washington's schools, churches, and amateur shows as a launching pad for local talent and Washington's clubs and theaters as major destinations on the R&B circuit. 472 audio tracks on 16 CDs, and an illustrated 352-page hardcover book bring this long overlooked musical community back to life." --
