Searing Conviction. "Soul" combines searing emotional conviction, a surging rhythmic pulse, and earthy-poetic lyrics in updated variations on the Negro blues tradition. Long a staple of the "rhythm and blues" packaged for a chiefly Negro market, soul has increasingly influenced the work of white performers - notably rock 'n' rollers, many of whom frankly imitate Negro originals. Now, after the success of such Negro singers as Lou Rawls and Dionne Warwick, the authentic soul sound has come into its own in the white, teen-dominated pop market.

...Erza Pound, 81, now living in Italy, fathered modern English poetry, freed it from excessive strictures of meter, rhetoric and prosody. One of his earliest converts was T. S.

Too often it is not substantial and students return...

...counterpoint and rhythms of the fast movements with complete confidence. Unfortunately, Street was consistently slightly overbalanced by the piano. His playing never became at all fiery, while Kalam's did on occasion. In every other respect, however, the performers' coordination was perfect--quite an achievement considering the dynamic and rhythmic liberties they took with the sonata...
