Book Reviews of American Negro Songs: 230 Folk Songs and Spirituals, Religious and Secular (Dover Books on Music)

Book Review: Found New/Old Songs
Summary: 5 Stars

Memories of songs I've heard, yet did not know the words. History is a wonderful thing. Enjoyed the "foot stomping" songs. As a city youngster visiting the south in the early 40's, in the old church camp meetings, some of these songs were sang. They bring back memories of good times in my youth.
