Summary:
"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
--
written by one of the preeminent cultural critics of her generation. 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
