Some serious education. Black history is more than inventions. The musical history is important too. Keep digging into those vaults for the real gems. Might tech these youngsters a thing or two about where music really came from
FUNKY FUNK
Big up from Jersey Channel Islands Uk !

Love this show. Tears up montreal story inspired me to do a Toastmasters speech at my company: a few stories about james brown
Awesome show with the history behind the music love hearing it.
Flashlight was inspired by a Bar Mitzvah?! That was like learning that Darth Vader was Luke's father - thanks for blowing my mind!
