520 $a The goals of this study are to show a range of different kinds of solo and ensemble performances of African American music that were remarkably successful as seen on music charts from 1955-95, including the significance and importance of this music and its performers to education in music.
520 $a Hence, the focus of this dissertation concerns the structure and analysis of vocal performers of African American music. Strategies utilized in organizing this research first included a discussion of aspects pertaining to the use of music charts as an assessment of a performer's success. This resulted in the identification and selection, over a large period, of popular vocal soloists and ensembles who recorded a "top 10" hit. Secondly, music transcriptions, time lines that display specific music style characteristics, timbre, responsorial practices, and rhythmic gestures, documented by this author, all provided vital data for an overall analysis of this work. Thirdly, differences of group size and gender membership, presented as theoretical claims, furnished a framework with respect to the structure and shape of several chapters of this work. Finally, the gathering of performance data was cross-referenced and utilized as the basis for intellectual discourse providing a framework for musicological, sociological, economic, and political associations.
520 $a With regards to methodological aspects, this work also draws upon my personal experiences as a performer of African American music. Through these experiences an ameliorative understanding of the relationship between styles and inherent elements of vocal performance helped to provide further musicological insights. Utilizing my computer skills, these insights are made available, for the first time, through music transcriptions. These transcriptions not only provide visual material for music analysis, but also tangible evidence of particular performance practices scored in a serious manner.
520 $a Performers examined in this study are extracted from The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits, chosen for its comprehensive compilation and display of popular recordings (or "hits") from 1955 to 1995. The collection includes 854 "top 10" recordings by a total of 312 vocal soloists and ensembles.
