Mississippi John Hurt
John Coltrane
Duke Ellington
Charles Mingus
Fela Kuti
Leadbelly
Marvin Gaye
Sam Cooke
Curtis Mayfield
Lightnin' Hopkins
Howlin' Wolf
Bo Diddley
Chuck Berry
Ella Fitzgerald
Love
James Brown

Actually, it seems that most of them are my favorites. Fancy that.

I definitely recommend Fela Kuti if you would like to listen to some very political black music. He created an entire genre of music called afrobeat, which blends funk and jazz with highlife. He was a Pan-African socialist who used his music as a vehicle to attack the militarist Nigerian dictatorship, and because of this Nigerian soldiers actually burned down his house, raped and maimed most of the inhabitants, beat him nearly to death, and murdered his elderly mother. Even after this tragedy, he still didn't stop recording music that was critical of the government. He was definitely a fighter who unflinchingly refused to capitulate even in the face of overwhelming force. Honestly, he's one of my heroes. Couldn't recommend him enough.

Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants
Innervisions
Songs In The Key Of Life
Talking Book What's Going On

Greetings from Britain (apparently mine is the pleasure of being the first Brittish IP address to join lol)

As you can see I'm a big Stevie Wonder fan.
I'm into all kinds of music for all sorts of reasons some it black, some white, a lot of the time white adaptations of black (not so much the inverse for some reason)

My choice above reflects not only my favourites but also the ones that appeal to both my emotions and my intellect. And the best thing about them is that they manage to do that not just through the music but also through the lyrics.

Billie Holiday, Aretha, Jill Scott (great poet), Marlena Shaw are others. I also like the boldness of Outkast (they made me see Hip Hop in a new light but by sheer musical competence.

I have a tendency to go on and on about everything and nothing so I think I'll just say bye now and also...

WHAT A SMASHING IDEA FOR A GROUP!!!

Thank you mathewjordan!

wow! Thank you for sharing the picture! I did not realize he was now wheel chair bound. Goodness! Poor thing!

Many of the jazz musicians are in ailing health and they do not have much money. Fortunately, some people are trying to take care of the artists but not many people are aware of how bad it is for them financially.

Thank you for sharing!
