In this first biography of Johnny Otis, George Lipsitz tells the largely unknown story of a towering figure in the history of African American music and culture who was, by his own description, "black by persuasion." This chronicle of a life rich in both incident and inspiration also explores the complicated nature of race relations in twentieth-century America.
