Black Grooves
Corrections:
The AAAMC apologizes for the following errors in Liner Notes, no. 12:
On p. 4. Black Women and Music was announced as the second book in the AMGP series. It is actually the first book under the AMGP title from University of Illinois Press; an earlier publication had the same series editors but under a different press and series title.
On p. 5. Captions were switched for Leon Huff and Kenneth Gamble.
On p. 9. Paul Kane was accidentally identified as an undergraduate. He actually holds an MFA in Painting from IU.
