On May 1 the endless rhythm and blues, gospel and jazz recordings, the fast-paced hip chatter and the blaring commercials will be interrupted on 25 black radio stations in major cities across the country by the funereal rumble of organ music familiar to old time fans of Ma Perkins and Our Gal Sunday.
The music will signal the beginning of a five-day-a-week serial on the tragedies, triumphs and crises of the Taylors - a black family living somewhere in a large American city.
