1966-7 Black Music Dominates the Charts: ‘Cause I’m A Soul Man

American “pop culture” transitioned from mostly White to “Black and White” during 1965-67. 20/100 top 100 Billboard hits in 1965. 23/100 in 1966 and 1967. In 1966/67 half of the top 100 R&B songs were recorded in Detroit. Another one-fourth were captured in Memphis. My VERY favorites: Up, Up and Away. Sweet Talkin’ Guy. Bare Footin’. Soul Man. Groovin’. Reach Out. Bernadette. Ain’t Too Proud to Beg. RESPECT. Ain’t No Mountain High. Reflections.

Pop music. The first album I ever purchased at JJ Newberry’s in Painesville, OH.

James Brown …..

REAL James Brown.
