We have been unable to locate a copy of "A Study of the 'Soul Music Environment'" in our libraries or archives. As you may know, this is reputed to be a Harvard Business School study commissioned by CBS records in the late 1960s. We recommend that you contact CBS records directly to inquire whether they have a copy of the study in their archives.
We do find mention of a "Harvard Report on Urban Music" in the May 23, 1996 issue of the Harvard Gazette.
