Book Description
American pop music is arguably this country’s greatest cultural contribution to the world, and its singular voice and virtuosity were created by a shining thread of Black women geniuses stretching back to the country’s founding. This is their surprising, heartbreaking, soaring story—from “one of the generation’s greatest, most insightful, most nuanced writers in pop culture” (Shea Serrano) “Sparkling . . . the overdue singing of a Black girl’s song, with perfect pitch . . . delicious to read.”—Oprah Daily ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, The Root, Variety, Esquire, The Guardian, Newsweek, Pitchfork, She Reads, Publishers Weekly SHORTLISTED FOR THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD A weave of biography, criticism, and memoir, Shine Bright is Danyel Smith’s intimate history of Black women’s music as the foundational story of American pop. Smith has been writing this history for more than five years. But as a music fan, and then as an essayist, editor (Vibe, Billboard), and podcast host (Black Girl Songbook), she has been living this history since she was a latchkey kid listening to “Midnight Train to Georgia” on the family stereo. Smith’s detailed narrative begins with Phillis Wheatley, an enslaved woman who sang her poems, and continues through the stories of Mahalia Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Mariah Carey, as well as the under-considered careers of Marilyn McCoo, Deniece Williams, and Jody Watley. Shine Bright is an overdue paean to musical masters whose true stories and genius have been hidden in plain sight—and the book Danyel Smith was born to write.

Marcuia Duncan Shining Bright
Author: Lynn Cavendish
Publisher: i2i Publishing
ISBN: 1916732011
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
In this much requested sequel to 'The Lights Came on For Marcia Duncan', the family revelations continue to surprise all. Having capsized a rather dodgy boat and given birth in the middle of the River Ellis, Marcia Duncan did not greet parenthood with delight. Hampered by learning difficulties and immobility, our favourite character accepts the world as it is and tries her very best. With never-ending support from her best friend Molly, she has successfully, (well almost), managed to raise her daughter Tanya into her eleventh year. Molly, however, is still harbouring dark secrets and as events unfold, these will inevitably surface, invading the blissful unawareness that prevents Marcia from seeing her friend as she truly is. It is here our story resumes, as life in the small terrace council house in Chalksbury bumbles along. One would say without incident, but, of course, as we all know Marcia and her accident-prone comical antics, this is just not going to happen!

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
A darkly funny thriller about one boy's attempt to unravel the mysterious phenomenon affecting students in his new town, as he finds a way to resist sinister forces and pursue hope for them all. Wallace Cole is perpetually moving against his will. His father has some deeply important job with an energy company that he refuses to explain to Wallace who is, shall we say, suspicious. Not that his father ever listens to him. Just as Wallace is getting settled into a comfortable life in Kentucky, his father lets him know they need to immediately depart for a new job in a small town in Upstate New York which has recently been struck by an outbreak of inexplicable hysterics--an outbreak which is centered at the high school Wallace will attend. In the new town, go from disturbing to worse: trees appear to be talking to people; a school bully, the principal, and the town police force take an instant dislike to Wallace; and the student body president is either falling for him or slipping into the enveloping darkness. Bright Shining World is a novel of resistance, of young people finding hope and courage and community in a collapsing world.
