Soul evolved from gospel and blues to speak to an entire generation-black and white-about the importance of pride, freedom, determination, and R-E-S-P-E-C-T.Nowhere to Run examines the lives behind the legends of soul with energy, warmth, and emotion-the same qualities that characterized songs such as 'Baby, I Need Your Loving,' 'Papa's Got a Brand New Bag,' and 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine.' Author Gerri Hirshey takes us on a bus tour with the Temptations and on the backroads of rural Georgia with James Brown. Diana Ross reminisces about her lean teen years in Detroit; at home in California, ex-Supreme Mary Wilson fills out the story. 'The Wicked' Wilson Pickett tells his best stories long after the midnight hour in a New York City dressing room. And Michael Jackson, driving his Camaro and singing along to the radio, talks about opening shows for the great soul acts when he was a child.But soul faded, giving way to disco, rap, and black pop. And the artists who once captured the heart of the world soon had, as Martha and the Vandellas' 1965 hit put it, 'Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide.' In this enthralling narrative, Gerri Hirshey captures the triumphs and failures of soul like no one else before or since, telling the soul story through the eyes of those who lived the dream-and the often harsh reality.… (mere)

Most of the interviews took place when the artists were 15, 20 or more years removed from their career peaks which made from some interesting contrasts between those still plugging away versus those not. Also intersting knowing all that has happened since the book came out in 1984, 36 years ago. The prose tends to the purple. Some quotes are given in dialect, and seemed unevenly applied. Enough repetition that it came across as a bunch of separate magazine articles that had been smashed together. ( )

Mrs. Hirshey's picture of James Brown, the Elvis Presley of soul music, is one of the most vivid portraits of a pop musician ever written, and her coverage of Motown and Atlantic Records is both breezy and definitive.
 
During the past two years the 33-year-old freelance writer has sampled more than her share of midnight munchies as she traveled from her home base in Manhattan to Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis and whistle-stops such as Barnwell, S.C., James Brown's birthplace. Over the months she haunted revival shows and nightclubs and "nattered away" backstage with performers until dawn. The result of those peregrinations appears this month in Hirshey's breezy, anecdotal new book...
