    Berry Gordy was a leader in the field of being the founder of Motown music and was responsible for the success of many artists. Gordy's legacy of Motown music communicated and brought together a racially divided country and segregated society, around the world, touching all people of all ages and races. He did what many people of his time believed could never be done; he brought black music into millions of white Americans' homes, helping both black artists and their culture gain acceptance, and opening the door for a multitude of successful black record executives and producers. The back story was that during a disgraceful time in U.S. history, blacks were being beaten on the streets of urban America, and the Motown stars were performing to the delight of white audiences, slowly chipping away at racist attitudes. Motown music became a symbol of hope, and it was doing extremely well by reaching audiences across ethnic lines around the world.…

    Lady Sings the Blues

    What is a song but a poem set to music? Take away the music from a good song and the rhythm of the words will create its own musical sound. "Songs For a Colored Singer", a poem written by Elizabeth Bishop, is a song without the music. Bishop's use of repetitive rhymes creates the lyrical, song like, structure to her poem. The voice of the song belongs to a black woman who encounters adversity throughout the poem. The sum of the elements, a black woman singing about hard times, equal one distinct style of music, namely the blues. Bishop divides the poem into four parts. Through each part the poem, Bishop uncovers different aspects of the colored woman. What Bishop reveals is the difficult situations which face underprivileged black citizens in America. Bishop's poem has similarities to a song by Billie Holiday, and is linked to a Langston Hughes poem. By using the voice of a colored singer, Bishop exposes the inequality of early twentieth century African-Americans.…

    Hurrian Hymn

    For many years there has been debate on the history of music. Did it begin with animals and nature, mimicked by humans using vocal chords? Did it begin with an accident of some prehistoric person hitting something, creating a pleasing sound? Did it begin between mother and child long before words were formed? When did instruments come in? The oldest instruments discovered are flutes made from animal bones made between 35,000 and 43,000 years ago, depending on the source. Did the makers of these instruments know what they were doing? Did they have melodies and words for which to use the flutes? No one truly knows when and how music began, but a discovery was made in the 1950s that would change the way historians thought about music.…

    In Solange song “Don’t Touch My Hair” she reveals a message that can catch people’s attention mainly females because it reveals the stereotype or judgement of black women who don’t like their hair to being touched or judged no matter what it looks like. Hair can be representation of an African American soul because of the majority take deep pride for the hair that they display upon themselves. In her song I do believe that Solange did a affective job to display her thought process towards her feeling of hair and creating a voice towards people who view or think the same way as her when it comes to having strong pride towards hair and making it known it’s an important factor of who they are as a person.…

    I listened to the Latin American praise song “Te Doy Gloria” and I listened to the Christian praise song “endless praise” by Planetshakers. “Te Doy Gloria” message was giving Jesus the glory and just magnifying how wonderful Jesus is. The song Endless Praise by Planetshakers has a similar message, also singing to glorify Jesus and how we should praise him continually. Both of these songs are glorifying Jesus and the importance of how we should lift the name of Jesus on high. Also, both songs proclaim the beauty and wonder of Jesus but do this in different ways. Although, after listening to both a couple of times I still like the song “endless praise” the most. The reason I like this song better is because it goes more in depth about Jesus and…
