Watch Dancing in the Street online: Episode 4 R-E-S-P-E-C-T

The tone for black music in the 1960s was set by Ray Charles, who combined the music of the church with lyrics about love and romance. This secularized gospel appealed to black and white audiences alike, forming the basis for the sophisticated dance music of Motown and the raw emotion of Southern soul. The joyful, upbeat black music that swept the country during the civil rights movement of the 1960s is the subject of R-E-S-P-E-C-T, the fourth in the 10-part BBC series, Dancing in the Street.
