The Rough Guide to Soul & R 'n' B 1 (Rough Guide Reference) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Take my advice if you want to learn more about your favorite R&B artists than don't buy this book. The person who wrote this book obvisouly doesn't care about r&b music any way. Every single artist in this book he gives them an overly critcal review. For example when singer Aaliyah was reviewed the author states the main reasons of her fame was that she died in a plane crash in 2002, and that she got married to R. Kelly at the age of 15. Yet the author does not give her any credit for having a best selling album at the young age of 14. I guarantee you the person who wrote this book complains about every artist they profile. The author reviewed brandy and monica's the boy is mine as "female rubbish". I am telling you just look up your fav artist on wikepedia, but please don't buy this book.
