Before the guitar hero, before the rapper, before the stadium rocker—there were the harmony groups. From doo-wop street corners to Motown’s hit factory, from Philadelphia soul to the boy band blueprint, male vocal groups shaped American music for five decades and told their own complicated story about race, commerce and what men were allowed to feel in public. This six-week companion course to She’s Got the Beat explores the music, the rivalries and the extraordinary voices behind it all.
