I Got Thunder
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
In her new book I Got Thunder scholar LaShonda Katrice Barnett examines the careers of the world's prominent black women singers and songwriters, from Dianne Reeves to Nina Simone to Tokunbo Akinro of the European band Tok Tok Tok. As we find out, there's more than just the media stereotype of soul singers and "Divas."
Also joining us is Brenda Russell, a singer-songwriter and co-writer of music and lyrics for “The Color Purple” on Broadway, among other productions.
