A celebration of African-American music history month.
African-Americans for me have played a leading role in the evolution of Western music from the beginning of the 20th century to this day. From the Blues, to Jazz. A major influence on Rock n roll which birthed rock music to Gospel, Soul and Motown and of course in more recent times Hip-Hop.
Feel free to post any music videos you like celebrating the history of African-American music.
No better place to start than with the King of Jazz
Louis Armstrong, a huge star of the 1920s and 1930s. Here in his later days with one of his most recognisable songs.
