Episode #247

Featuring another collection of seminal Black artists as we at BK&B stand committed to the Black Lives Matter movement and fundamental change and reform in the USA (and worldwide). Kicking things off with the Motown sound of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas; NYC meets Liverpool on The Grey Album from Jay-Z and Danger Mouse; a musical force of nature known as Freddie King; the most underrated American composer, Thelonious Monk (with John Coltrane at his side); other-worldly musical genius Me’Shell Ndegeocello; a different side of a golden-voiced civil rights activist, Sam Cooke; blues songwriting icon Jimmy Reed; a shining light of clarity from Stevie Wonder; and the pride of Strong Island, telling it like it is…. De La Soul.
