VARIOUS-BLUES & GOSPEL Black Swan Blues: The Hard Rise & Brutal Fall Of... (2021 UK 190-page softback book - Forty years before Motown, there was Black Swan.

Soon, the exciting new records Pace produced were pulling in white listeners as well as Black, and providing the essential soundtrack at every chic Hollywood party.

This expanded 2021 edition of the book, published to mark the 100th anniversary of Black Swan's launch, contains a wealth of new information and many fresh insights into both the label's own story and Harry Pace's determination to improve African-Americans' lives!) more...
