I’m looking for a book on the history of African-American music.

[Koba St]

The book will discuss the origins of AA music from the early beginnings such as gospel, blues to Ragtime, jazz, and finally the modern era such as hiphop, R&B.

It should be a detailed book describing the major players in each genre, the music itself, the impact it had on that era etc. If anyone has read a book like that or know of one please recommend me one. Thanks in advance
