Ever since Bessie Smith’s powerful voice conspired with the “race records” industry to make her a star in the 1920s, African American writers have memorialized the sounds and theorized the politics of black women’s singing. In Black Resonance, Emily J. Lordi analyzes writings by Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, Gayl Jones, and Nikki Giovanni that engage such iconic singers as Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Mahalia Jackson, and Aretha Franklin. Focusing on two generations of artists from the 1920s to the 1970s, Black Resonance reveals a musical-literary tradition in which singers and writers, faced with similar challenges and harboring similar aims, developed comparable expressive techniques. Drawing together such seemingly disparate works as Bessie Smith’s blues and Richard Wright’s neglected film of Native Son, Mahalia Jackson’s gospel music and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, each chapter pairs one writer with one singer to crystallize the artistic practice they share: lyricism, sincerity, understatement, haunting, and the creation of a signature voice. In the process, Lordi demonstrates that popular female singers are not passive muses with raw, natural, or ineffable talent. Rather, they are experimental artists who innovate black expressive possibilities right alongside their literary peers. The first study of black music and literature to centralize the music of black women, Black Resonance offers new ways of reading and hearing some of the twentieth century’s most beloved and challenging voices.

African American women have played a pivotal part in rock and roll—from laying its foundations and singing chart-topping hits to influencing some of the genre's most iconic acts. Despite this, black women's importance to the music's history has been diminished by narratives of rock as a mostly white male enterprise. In Black Diamond Queens, Maureen Mahon draws on recordings, press coverage, archival materials, and interviews to document the history of African American women in rock and roll between the 1950s and the 1980s. Mahon details the musical contributions and cultural impact of Big Mama Thornton, LaVern Baker, Betty Davis, Tina Turner, Merry Clayton, Labelle, the Shirelles, and others, demonstrating how dominant views of gender, race, sexuality, and genre affected their careers. By uncovering this hidden history of black women in rock and roll, Mahon reveals a powerful sonic legacy that continues to reverberate into the twenty-first century.

Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2008 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 3, University of Stuttgart, 34 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: [...] This paper examines both of these aspects of African American music and deals with the following two theses, with specific regard to female Africa American artists: First, can the fast changes in the history of African American music, really be regarded as a constant escape from the mostly discriminating situation of the black community? And secondly, has music been the real mouthpiece of African Americans and in this respect describes a way to tear down racial barriers? The chapters of this paper are in chronological order from the rising of blues music during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s, to the explosion of hip-hop in New York's ghettos in the 1980s. After a summary of the cultural context of the particular era, there will be a definition of the musical genre which emerged during that time, including a listing of its innovators. Each chapter concludes with a text analysis of the most significant lyrics produced within this genre. The paper focuses on female singers for the reason that male artists were mainly instrumentalists and composers, while the list of vocalists is dominated by females. Female performers were more accepted by the white audience, especially during the early decades, probably because they appeared less threatening than their male counterparts and more exotic instead. Even though disco and rock music also produced some great black performers such as Donna Summer and Jimmy Hendrix, these genres are excluded from this paper. Rock music was and still is dominated by white performers and hereby not representative for African American music. The disco genre was mainly angled for parties and clubs and did mostly not lay claim on lyrics that reflect any political or social issue.
