 ng>SOUL SEARCHER: Life and Legend of Chuck Brown</strong> is an introducti
 on to the genius of Chuck Brown\, the "Godfather of Go-Go\," and his contr
 ibution to hip-hop and pop culture. The book chronicles his musical life f
 rom the first album\, "We the People" to his posthumous album\, "Beautiful
  Life." It details Brown's influence on the early bands including Rare Ess
 ence\, E.U.\, Trouble Funk\, and Junk Yard Band. It also documents the his
 tory of fierce competition between D.C. bands in the 70's\, and DJ's who i
 nspired Chuck Brown to create a transition beat that would ultimately prov
 ide the space for the "go-go pocket." SOUL SEARCHER serves as a blueprint 
 for the study of one of the most important figures in Black music history 
 and notable legends of Washington\, D.C. including Frederick Douglass\, Ma
 rvin Gaye\, Nannie Helen Burroughs\, Duke Ellington\, John Thompson\, and 
 Mayor Marion Barry.</span><span style="color: #000000\;"></span></p>\n<h4>
