BLACK 45’S

The types of black music currently being released on singles are as varied and numerous as ever. We shall attempt to give a cross-section of these, to point out excellence and to document trends, some dominant, others esoteric, that are probably missed by the casual listener. Some of these records have been on the soul charts, while a few even became pop hits. Others get only regional airplay and quickly disappear into the comers of warehouses: A very few are so obscure that even the most arduous collector may have difficulty finding them. When they are not easily available we will try to give addresses.
