WHAT’S GOING ON? The 1960s Through the Lens of Black Music Mr. Hayward US History 9

STARTER: 3 MINUTES  What is your favorite song?  Why is it your favorite?  What feelings does it evoke for you?  Who is its intended audience?  Is there something about the song that makes it a reflection of its time in history?

BEFORE WE BEGIN…  We need to remember a couple of terms we learned in English class:  1. Metaphor  2. Allusion  3. Allegory

AND…  A couple of skills from History class:  1. Historic context  2. Through their eyes (from TLaH)  In this case, Soul Music is the popular black music during and after the civil rights movement. It gives us a big picture view of the changing emotional trends of the movement during the 1950s and 1960s.

WHAT I WANT YOU TO LISTEN FOR  Mood/ Feelings  Images and Themes  Sense of historical context

SOUL MUSIC  Comes out of the musical tradition of the church (Gospel)  Early stars had careers in the Gospel charts and in the popular charts- Soul Music.  Fusion of Rhythm & Blues, Gospel and Blues styles.  Often used the style of Call and Response, which was a prominent characteristic of sermons and sacred music in black churches.

RAY CHARLES  Born Sept (Albany, GA)  Pioneer of Soul Music  Took themes from Gospel hits and added secular lyrics and jazz styling to create soul songs  E.g. “I’ve Got a Woman” (1954), which is a reworking of The Southern Tones’, “It Must be Jesus”.

THE SOUTHERN TONES AND RAY CHARLES  It Must be Jesus  I Got a Woman

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN SOUL  Soul music from the 1950s and 60s was generally divided between Detroit and Memphis Soul, with Chicago and Philadelphia coming into prominence in the mid 60s and early 70s respectively  Detroit soul was dominated by Motown Records while Memphis soul was Stax Records.

MOTOWN  Detroit (Motor+Town= Motown)  Founded in 1959 by Berry Gordie Jr.  Known for act like The Supremes, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye and more.  Factory-like production of songs.  “The Motown Sound”- Call & Response, simple melody lines, orchestral background.  House band—The Funk Brothers

MARVIN GAYE AND TAMMI TERRELL

STAX  Memphis  Founded 1957 by Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton (St + Ax= Stax)  Ethnically integrated group of writers and musicians  Famous acts include Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Isaac Hayes, Wilson Pickett.  House band- Booker T & the MGs (later aka The Blues Brothers Band)

OTIS REDDING

CURTIS MAYFIELD  Born June 3, 1942 (Chicago, IL)  Dropped out of high school to become the lead singer of The Impressions followed by a lengthy solo career.  One of the main figures of Chicago Soul. Produced and released albums by himself and the Staple Singers among many others.

THE IMPRESSIONS

SAM COOKE  Born Jan. 22,  Son of a Baptist Minister (Rev. Charles Cook)  Join Gospel group, The Soul Stirrers in Group was extremely popular in the Gospel world  Crossed over in 1956, first hit “You Send Me” (1957)  Shot and killed in Los Angeles 1964  Final recording released posthumously, “A Change Gonna Come”

SAM COOKE

AFTER 1968

CURTIS MAYFIELD IN 1970  This song uses some derogatory words. Curtis uses these words to create a sense of unease. If this will bothers you, please feel free to cover your ears or leave the room.

MARVIN GAYE IN 1971

STEVIE WONDER IN 1974

SO WHAT DO YOU HEAR?  How has the tone changed?  Do you hear any similar imagery? How is it different?

MOVING FROM THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT TO THE LATE 60S AND EARLY 70S  The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964, The Voting Act in Neither had provisions for improving the quality of life for African-Americans.  “White flight” leads to decreased investment in inner cities thus urban decay.  The Vietnam War is being fought by people too poor to avoid the draft. African-Americans made up about 9% of the US population but as much as 15% of US troops in Vietnam.  MLK breaks with LBJ in 1965 to speak out against the war

IN CONCLUSION  Soul music came out of the traditions of Gospel music and incorporated similar symbols and the Call & Response style.  Dominated by Motown Records (Northern Soul) and Stax Records (Southern Soul) during the 1960s.  Began to reflect the disillusionment and anger of the black community at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s.  We will explore those years in greater depth tomorrow when we look at the Race Riots of the late 1960s and the rise of the idea of Black Power.

HOMEWORK  Write lyrics for a song that reflects a time period. It can be a time period we have learned about or current day. Your choice. It must have at least 2 verses and one chorus.  Your lyrics can be blatant or subtle but use symbols or people that are understood by your audience.
