Book excerpt: Experience the riveting, powerful story of the Native American civil rights movement and the resulting struggle for identity told through the high-flying career of West Coast rock 'n' roll pioneers Redbone. You've heard the hit song "Come and Get Your Love" in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but the story of the band behind it is one of cultural, political, and social importance. Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas were talented Native American rock musicians that took the 1960s Sunset Strip by storm. They influenced The Doors and jammed with Jimmy Hendrix before he was "Jimi," and the idea of a band made up of all Native Americans soon followed. Determined to control their creative vision and maintain their cultural identity, they eventually signed a deal with Epic Records in 1969. But as the American Indian Movement gained momentum the band took a stand, choosing pride in their ancestry over continued commercial reward. Created in cooperation of the Vegas family, authors Christian Staebler and Sonia Paoloni with artist Thibault Balahy take painstaking steps to ensure the historical accuracy of this important and often overlooked story of America's past. Part biography and part research journalism, Redbone tells a vivid story about this neglected chapter of American history.

Download or read book Bobbie Gentry s Ode to Billie Joe written by Tara Murtha and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: July, 1967: It seems the entire country stopped to listen to a husky voice steeped in the simmering secrets of the South tell a tragic tale of teenage suicide. So much for the Summer of Love. “Ode to Billie Joe” knocked the Beatles' “All You Need is Love” off the top of the charts, and Bobbie Gentry became an international star. Almost 50 years later, Gentry is as enigmatic and captivating as her signature song. Of course, fans still want to know why Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge. They also wonder: Why did Bobbie Gentry, who has not performed or made a public appearance since the early 1980s, leave it all behind? Through extensive interviews and unprecedented access to career memorabilia, Murtha explores the real-life mysteries ensnarled within the much-disputed origin of Ode to Billie Joe. The result is an investigative pop history that reveals, for the first time, the full breadth of Bobbie Gentry's groundbreaking career-and just may help explain her long silence. Foreword by musician Jill Sobule.
Download or read book Dancing in My Dreams written by Ralph H. Craig and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you don’t know Tina Turner’s spirituality, you don’t know Tina. When Tina Turner reclaimed her throne as the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll in the 1980s, she attributed her comeback to one thing: the wisdom and power she found in Buddhism. Her spiritual transformation is often overshadowed by the rags-to-riches arc of her life story. But in this groundbreaking biography, Ralph H. Craig III traces Tina’s journey from the Black Baptist church to Buddhism and situates her at the vanguard of large-scale movements in religion and pop culture. Paying special attention to the diverse metaphysical beliefs that shaped her spiritual life, Craig untangles Tina’s Soka Gakkai Buddhist foundation; her incorporation of New Age ideas popularized in ’60s counterculture; and her upbringing in a Black Baptist congregation, alongside the influences of her grandmothers’ disciplinary and mystical sensibilities. Through critical engagement with Tina’s personal life and public brand, Craig sheds light on how popular culture has been used as a vehicle for authentic religious teaching. Scholars and fans alike will find Dancing in My Dreams as enlightening as the iconic singer herself.

Download or read book King Kong Pete written by Peter DePoe and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do the King Kong Beat, Redbone, a possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and wild and crazy stories all have in common? Pete De Poe."From a strictly historical perspective, Pete De Poe is considered in many circles as one of the most prolific drummers of all time. He single handedly created a new sound in the rock drumbeat category, a unique sound that is dubbed, 'The King Kong Beat.' The origins of the name go back to Redbone and the idea that as De Poe played, Tony Bellamy stated to the effect, 'the sound seems to keep getting bigger and bigger.' Fellow rock drummer, David Garibaldi (Tower of Power), an icon in and of himself, has publicly stated that the King Kong Beat was the most important he had ever learned . . . De Poe, therefore, is an important historical figure in rock history because he pioneered a completely new sound, essentially marrying Jazz and Rock drumming through his King Kong Beat. Ironically . . . De Poe had asked me quite seriously, 'What is an icon?' Though I used that term to describe him a few days earlier, he did not fully understand the meaning of it. I replied, 'An icon is something or someone that's quickly recognizable, like a Coca Cola logo or Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. They are recognizable, because they are the best in their field.'" (From the Prologue)Now, Pete's no braggart, but his life has not only been important in Rock History, but also a wee bit wild. Perhaps most importantly, he's a great story teller. Find out why.
