Hear and feel the music from America's past right up to
recent additions including Motown, Jimi Hendrix, the Mamas
and the Papas, and other artists from the rock era. There
are songs by and about American Indians, miners, immigrants,
slaves, children, pioneers, and cowboys; songs of Civil
Rights, political campaigns, the Revolutionary War, and the
Civil War; and every great American genre is here—from folk
and blues to country, gospel, and rock.
The
previous database titled African American Song has been
incorporated into the American Song database and these
titles can still be accessed through searches and clicking
on the genre category "African American".
