AUTHOR

Wald, Elijah

SUMMARY

"Elijah Wald's fascinating biography traces White's life from childhood, when the poor Greenville preachers' son worked as a lead boy for blind street singers, to White's last years in New York, when his career bounced back with the folk music revival of the 1960s. It is the portrait of a consummate entertainer who broke little musical ground but possessed a compelling personal style that drew wide audiences and was imitated by younger black artists such as Harry Belafonte. White's complicated personal life is also explored in SOCIETY BLUES, which is richly laced with anecdotes from friends, family members, and musical colleagues....SOCIETY BLUES is well documented, beautifully written, and generously illustrated with photographs, broadsides, and other ephemera."Wald, Elijah is the author of 'Josh White Society Blues' with ISBN 9780415942041 and ISBN 0415942047.
