The song "U.N.I.T.Y." by Queen Latifah, released in 1994, is a hip-hop song with a theme about the harassment, domestic violence and sexist slurs against women, black woman to be specific. Should “U.N.I.T.Y” be considered literature, specifically is it a poem? I think that every song, no matter what the genre is free verse poetry. However, this artist and song are important in the hip-hop as literature genre movement because of both the artist’s credibility and the message that she is delivering.

Music,music has so much power over us it makes us feel all these emotions and makes us act bit different when we're listening.

By the age of 6 I knew I wanted to sing and that is what I did. Everyone knows me as the girl with the blond wig but what about the person behind the wig? When I was growing up it was really hard becauseof the fact that my family lived in poverty. I always wanted to do music and by the age of 6 I was singing live on WIVK.

Josephine Baker reached the height of her fame during the 1920s, however, she still was not able to speak about her work and explain what her performances were trying to convey. This left the audience to decipher the performances for themselves, while doing so this highlighted the racism that was still apparent in France. In Phyllis Rose’s book ‘Jazz Cleopatra: Josephine Baker in Her Time’ She shows quotes from the tabloids saying, “We can’t find a way to tie the scenes together, but everything we’ve ever read flashes across our enchanted minds...glimpses of enormous steamboats swallowing clusters of Negros who carry rich burdens”. (Rose, 1991) The Parisians visiting Bakers show at the Revue Negre interpreted her show based on what they understood Africa to be. Baker was able to make a lasting impact with her unique look and style and was able to entertain crowds with her “rubber legs” (Rose, 1991) and “crossed eyes” (Rose, 1991) during a time in which racism was the norm. While “she did not exercise complete control over her own image” (Jules-Rosette 2007) she used the stage as a way of expressing herself which she could not do with her voice. In doing so Baker has influenced many performers today. Most notably she inspired Beyoncé Knowles.

Logan had played it for Darlene on the phone not more than twenty hours ago, and despite how much it had killed her to hear something from the man she still loved intended for the woman of his dreams, Darlene had been honest with him about how touching the song was.

Katherine Bergeron’s book, Voice Lessons: French Mélodie in the Belle Epoque, approaches French art song in a new and unique way, making it an invaluable resource for art song scholars and performers alike. Bergeron’s goals for this book are primarily abstract in nature; she aims to tell a story “about that French sound, both what it was and how it got that way” (viii). To achieve her vision, Bergeron examines the mélodie through a variety of different lenses, including musical, vocal, aural, linguistic, literary, scientific, philosophical, and cultural angles.

Firstly, I choose the album Coat of Many Colors because of my strong love for country music. Dolly Parton is a well-known household name, and in my house is a name that is cherished. I personally believe that the 1970’s was one of country’s finest years, where the era produced many top hits. An example of one of these top hits is Parton’s Coat of Many Colors. The album also invoked my interest is learning about the ways that Parton changed country music. It is inspiring to hear about a strong female figure making her own career in a patriarchal society. This invoked my interest in the album, learning about the effects that this album had. Overall, I feel as this album personally spoke to me and intrigued me.

This song written and originally released artist Otis Redding in 1965. It wasn’t until 1967 that this song became a hit when R&B Aretha Franklin sang it. The song itself has the perfect features of a pop song and more importantly is was a song that was perfect for a political movement theme. One of the most important messages that is being delivered is that a black and strong woman was seeking respect: “All I'm askin' Is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)”. Additionally, Aretha Franklin was showing her power towards men: “What you want, Baby, I got it”.

Betty Davis (26 July 1945) a pioneer in the development of funk music’s cultural senses,also known for her scandalous outfits, distinctively lascivious lyrics, fierce and impenitent personality, protruded and faced the male-dominated rock and funk music culture of the 1960s and 1970s. Her goal was to portray ‘black aspirations’ (Greene, 2013: 58) within her music, fashion statements, beliefs, and performances. Betty Davis’s indisputable desire for fame never passed by inconspicuously, Nonetheless, her bluntly honest music and lyrics became overwhelming to some audiences as well as male music critics. The main certainty of her being a black woman and her unforgettable statements produced through her music originated her exclusion from the American History of popular music (Keys, 2013: 44) who refused to be limited by general categorisation (Hundley, 2007).
