Episodes
Amazing Grace
This first episode travels through the South, from Muscle Shoals in Alabama to Stax in Memphis, taking a detour north to Detroit, to explore how Motown's most soulful achievement showed the whole world a successful, sophisticated image of black people, at a time when Motown musicians themselves were subject to the same treatment as any black American.
Say It Loud
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, black America went to war. Inequality, poverty and racism fanned the flames of radical black politics and a harder soul sound from artists such as Isaac Hayes, James Brown and The Temptations.
Sweet Love
How, in the 70s and 80s, a second coming of soul men offered a black female audience slow jams and sexual healing.
