DESCRIPTION:After two decades, Dawn Silva, written to be a Funk Diva of epic 
 proportions, comes out with one of the most honest and exploratory 
 music-industry autobiographies you will ever read.  \n\nSilva takes her 
 readers on a journey around the world, and back, beginning with her rich 
 heritage, and the trials and tribulations of a black child growing up in 
 America during the mid 50’s and ’60s, to her defiant stint with the 
 Black Panthers in the early ’70s in Oakland, California, to the 
 mid-’90s performing in front of a quarter of a million people on a sandy 
 beach in Rio De Janeiro, Brasil.\n\nYes, Dawn was meant to sing and dance.  
 Her musical pathway blossomed after meeting and recording with legendary 
 icon Sly Stone at the height of his career, and later touring and recording 
 with one of the greatest funk bands of all time, 
 Parliament-Funkadelic.\n\nSo……, in a world that strives for success, 
 why would a management company deliberately sabotage its most successful 
 female recording artists? Especially after they were winning back-to-back 
 music awards, with chart-topping records, and had a trademark sound that 
 sold millions.  \n\nLong before the 2018 #MeToo Movement, there was the 
 story of a rebellious American female recording artist who escaped an era 
 of subjugated institutions, misogyny, and physical and mental abuse, 
 beating the odds and recapturing a worldwide underground cult following. 
 \n\nThis true story is no longer Funk’s Best Kept Secret. It is a story 
 of survival and persistence, a tale of a courageous woman who stood against 
 the male-dominated music industry and never backed down; no matter how 
 often she was knocked down, each time, she would rise stronger and better 
 than before.  \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/07/27/18857607.php
