The first of two volumes chronicling the history and role of music in the African American experience; Nothing but Love in Godrsquo;s Water explores how songs and singers helped African Americans challenge and overcome slavery; subjugation; and suppression. From the spirituals of southern fields and the ringing chords of black gospel to the protest songs that changed the landscape of labor and the cadences sung before dogs and water cannons in Birmingham; sacred song has stood center stage in the African American drama. Myriad interviews; one-of-a-kind sources; and rare or lost recordings are used to examine this enormously persuasive facet of the movement. Nothing but Love in Godrsquo;s Water explains the historical significance of song and helps us understand how music enabled the civil rights movement to challenge the most powerful nation on the planet.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Keep this a secretBy JeffIf you are an indie filmmaker or producer; dont get this book. Its so full of amazing information that I dont want you to have it; too. It contains everything you should know about film distribution RIGHT NOW. Everything. Its an easy and quick read; but very dense with valuable facts and statistics that will give you the advantage over the sea of other struggling filmmakers.Marketing has always been hand in hand with filmmaking; but this book proves that marketing is potentially more important than the film itself; if you want to see success. The best thing about the book is that it defines different kinds of success. Success doesnt just mean money. There are more significant measurements of success for the indie filmmaker depending on what level you are at and what your goals are.Okay; Ive said enough. Please dont buy this book. It will unlock too many secrets of film distribution and put you ahead of the game.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Does Not Meet ExpecationsBy CustomerSome of the advice is sound. However; as a filmmaker myself; I found a lot of the information outdated and some methods not current for our advanced technology.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great book.
