"A Saturday night text-dance and a trip down album-cover memory lane. This book is a "Land of 1,000 Dances" for the eyes. Stay away if you can't tap your feet and read at the same time."
"Presented with considerable knowledge, humor, and a lot of love for the subject, this is the type of book any fan of rock & roll or rhyhm 'n' blues will pick up again and again and leave on the coffee table for friends to check out"
"Heart & Soul celebrates the nearly half-century (1930-1975) of flamboyant and extravagant flowering in African-American culture that enriched the entire world. From the Jackson Five to the Four Tops, it was an era of audacious showmen."
