Recenzii

"An absorbing study of a fascinating figure . . . [Salvatore] seems to have tapped into the soul that moved Franklin in song and sermon and that thrived beneath the beat of Motown. " -- The New York Times

"I'm delighted with the book. As much as I knew, there were still some things I didn't know. I'm delighted [Salvatore] thought enough of my dad to write the book and document some historical facts." -- Aretha Franklin in the Detroit Free Press

"This is an excellent book, well researched and well written. . . . Singing in a Strange Land expands the scholarship on Michigan and Midwestern history, providing great insight into the region's black leadership and the much understudied Civil Rights-Black Power struggle in the North and the West."--Michigan Historical Review
