From salt to cod to oysters, Kurlansky has shown how the world's humbler phenomena have left enduring legacies. Now he looks back to 1964—the year of Freedom Summer in Mississippi, the Free Speech Movement in Berkeley, the Civil Rights Act, the Vietnam War—and argues that "Dancing in the Streets," written by Marvin Gaye, Ivy Jo Hunter, and William "Mickey" Stevenson, was the perfect anthem for this turbulent time.
