Born in 1953 to Anglo-Jewish/Nigerian parents, Pauline Black was
subsequently adopted by a white, working class family in Romford. Never
quite at home there, she escaped her small town background and
discovered a different way of life - making music. Lead singer for
platinum-selling band The Selecter, Pauline Black was the Queen of
British Ska.
The only woman in a movement dominated by men, she
toured with The Specials, Madness, Dexy's Midnight Runners when they
were at the top of the charts - and, sometimes, on their worst
behaviour. From childhood to fame, from singing to acting and
broadcasting, from adoption to her recent search for her birth parents,
Black By Design is a funny and enlightening story of music, race, family
and roots.
