Listen Whitey!

Listen Whitey! Sounds of Black Power 1967-74


Listen, Whitey, The Sounds of Black Power 1967-1974 is the musical accompaniment to a labour of love and dedication by music producer and scholar Pat Thomas over the course of four years – interviewing leaders of the Black Power movement and collating music and artwork to piece together a 70,000 word tome on the sounds that defined a key movement and moment in Black American culture. Contained within the CD are a series of rare, rich and fascinating tracks inexorably linked with the Black Power movement. From Motown’s short-lived Black Forum offshoot label, to the crossover between White and Black artists shouting for the same goal from differing perspectives and positions, it is a fascinating and captivating listen: equal parts history lesson, musical scholarship and a profound, humbling and richly textured listening experience.
