Description

Following the success of Jazz Covers, this volume features
over 500 legendary covers from two genres of black music that have conquered the world.
From Marvin Gaye to Michael Jackson, the Temptations to Earth, Wind & Fire, and James Brown to Prince, Funk & Soul Covers portrays the often breathtaking album art that helped make these essentially African-American musical forms both world famous and massively influential, and an essential part of 20th century music history. Featuring interviews with key industry figures–including performers, producers, designers and writers–Funk & Soul Covers provides cultural context and design analysis for each featured record cover.
