Surpassingly sympathetic and probing....a panoramic critical survey of black popular music over seventy-five years....There is no book quite like it. - New York Review of Books ...moving, dense, and fascinating.... - The New Yorker ...a grand and sweeping survey of the history of soul music in America....one of the best books of music journalism.... - Publisher's Weekly ...a fascinating and often original addition to the extensive literature....an astute and witty account.... there is plenty in Boogaloo to set the mind and heart alight, as well as some flashes of brilliance and originality rare in music writing today. - Times Literary Supplement
