Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

Diggin' You Like Those Ol' Soul Records: Meshell Ndegeocello and the Expanding Definition of Funk in Postsoul America
Diggin’ You Like Those Ol’ Soul Records 181 Diggin’ You Like Those Ol’ Soul Records: Meshell Ndegeocello and the Expanding Definition of Funk in Postsoul America Tammy L. Kernodle Today’s absolutist varieties of Black Nationalism have run into trouble when faced with the need to make sense of the increasingly distinct forms of black culture produced from various diaspora populations. The unashamedly hybrid character of these black cultures continually confounds any simplistic (essentialist or antiessentialist) understanding of the relationship between racial identity and racial nonidentity, between folk cultural authenticity and pop cultural betrayal. Paul Gilroy1 Funk, from its beginnings as terminology used to describe a specific genre of black music, has been equated with the following things: blackness, mascu- linity, personal and collective freedom, and the groove. Even as the genre and terminology gave way to new forms of expression, the performance aesthetic developed by myriad bands throughout the 1960s and 1970s remained an im- portant part of post-1970s black popular culture. In the early 1990s, rhythm and blues (R&B) splintered into a new substyle that reached back to the live instru- mentation and infectious grooves of funk but also reflected a new racial and social consciousness that was rooted in the experiences of the postsoul genera- tion. One of the pivotal albums advancing this style was Meshell Ndegeocello’s Plantation Lullabies (1993). Ndegeocello’s sound was an amalgamation of 0026-3079/2013/5204-181$2.50/0 American Studies, 52:4 (2013): 181-204 181 182 Tammy L. Kernodle several things.

Proposal for City Hall Gallery Exhibit on the Early Days of Creedence Clearwater Revival
Proposal for City Hall Gallery exhibit on the early days of Creedence Clearwater Revival Submitted April 23, 2019 by the El Cerrito Historical Society, Dave Weinstein, president, and by Alec Palao, curator This will not be an art exhibit, strictly speaking, but more a historical one, yet tied to arts month through its subject: Creedence Clearwater Revival, the El Cerrito-born rock’n’roll band that 50 years ago became the most popular band in the world, at one point even rivaling the Beatles as a singles act. An even more poignant anniversary is the fact that 2019 marks a full 60 years since the embryonic line-up of the group was formed at Portola Junior High in 1959. Our preferred date would be October 2019. Much of the material on display will also qualify as art as it will include much in the way of graphics, such as artistically-designed album covers, posters, and other promotional material and photographs. Alec Palao is well positioned to do this exhibit. He is a noted producer of back catalog rock and R&B reissues, with five Grammy nominations in the Best Historical Album and Best Album Notes categories. A serious music scholar, with a special interest in Bay Area, and especially East Bay music, he is also a professional musician. A native of Great Britain, Alec moved to the United States over three decades ago largely because of his interest in American music of the era, and has lived in El Cerrito for 22 years. He produced, compiled and annotatedcritically appraised reissues of Creedence music including rare recordings by their predecessor bands, the Blue Velvets and Golliwogs, and knows the history of the band very well.

The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 16 EVERYDAY PEOPLE, Sly and the Family Stone Written and produced by Sly Stone Epic 10407 1968 Billboard: #1 (4 weeks) After two hundred takes failed to get an acceptable "White Rabbit" from a pre-Jefferson Airplane group featuring Grace Slick, disc jockey/ record producer Sylvester Stewart vowed to forget that acid-rock shit. So he renamed himself Sly Stone and formed his own band to play "the first fusion of psychedelia and rhythm and blues." In the Family Stone, men and women, black and white, played and sang as equals and each member's voice matched his or her instrument (i.e., bassist Larry Graham both played and sang bass. while Cynthia Robinson had the same brassy range and timbre as her trumpet). More startling, in Sly's songs rock and soul -- that is, black and white post -- Presley pop-intermingled till you couldn't find where one began and the other left off. The nursery rhyme simplicity and seductive tunefulness of "Everyday People." their third single and first Number One hit. make it almost too sweet to be true, and its fusion of rock and soul elements reflects an integrated symmetry that's still breathtaking. "Everyday People" proposes something even more radical than "different strokes for different folks" (a phrase it placed in the permanent American vernacular). The song argues that the healing power of music even encompasses curing rifts among races and classes. That was a corny/naive idea even in 1968, yet the record remains convincing because it so delightedly practices everything it preaches, You could spend a lifetime fathoming what gives Sly the courage to declare (at a time when the unity of the civil rights movement was disintegrating into a dagger's length truce), "We got to live together!" Even if the record's final boast, "I AM everyday people" means only that the "we " who had to live together were the antagonistic sides of Sly's own personality, these are words to live by.

Songwriter Judith Hill Has Shared Her Musical Gifts in a Variety of Ways
Back In Time Over the course of her remarkable career thus far, singer/ songwriter Judith Hill has shared her musical gifts in a variety of ways. The Los Angeles native has been a background singer for such legends as Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr, and the late Michael Jackson, serving as the latter’s duet partner on the classic ballad, “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” which later became a highlight of Jackson’s posthumously released film This Is It. (Hill’s deeply moving performance of “Heal the World” was an indelible moment during the singer’s public memorial service.) She also appeared in the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of several acclaimed background singers, including Hill, who earned a Grammy Award for “Best Music Film” for her participation. Post-This Is It, Hill appeared on The Voice, where she began to cement her identity as a solo artist with a series of knockout performances that showed her ability to put her own distinctive, captivating spin on familiar songs. Hill’s global fanbase has gotten to know her through these high-profile performances. However her biggest champion these days, yet another music legend, did not. “Prince did not see me on This Is It. He had not seen 20 Feet from Stardom. He had not seen me on The Voice. He saw me on some random TV interview where I was asked who I’d want to collaborate with and I said him,” Hill says with a laugh. After doing a bit of research, Prince called Hill personally and said he’d love to work with her.
