Square Dance with Soul

Rev. Frederick Douglass Kirkpatrick and The Hearts
Square Dance with Soul Folksinger, Baptist minister, and Martin Luther King associate Frederick Douglass Kirkpatrick (1933–1986) presents this instructional recording of traditional African American square dances. Accompanied by the Hearts trio, Kitzpatrick calls the directions for various square dances through song. His work as “director of folk culture for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference” attests to his knowledge of his subject. Liner notes from this 1969 recording provide detailed square dance instructions, a glossary of several square dance terms, and a brief editorial on the importance of preserving African American music and culture.
