Book Synopsis The Late Great Johnny Ace and the Transition from R&B to Rock 'n' Roll by : James M. Salem
Book excerpt: If Elvis Presley was a white man who sang in a predominantly black style, Johnny Ace was a black man who sang in a predominantly white one. This title presents a treatment of this influential performer taking the reader to Beale Street in Memphis and to Houston's Fourth Ward, both vibrant black communities where the music never stopped.
