For 30 years the Grammy-winning #music #artist’s music has cast an unflinching gaze on love, race, sexuality & religion. Her new album out in August, No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin, zooms out to focus on the love of humanity as inspired by the writer & civil rights activist.

@deliberately_me @blackfedi Awesome coincidence, I just watched the 1st segment of the BBC's awesome documentary about disco and a big part is himEarl Young talking about and demonstrating the percussion sound that he invented on The Love I Lost that still sits behind 90% of the dance music on the planet. Highly recommended.

About PBS - MainDISCO: SOUNDTRACK OF A REVOLUTIONPBS tackles the surprising and overlooked history of disco – the preeminent popular music of the 1970s – in a three-part series, DISCO: SOUNDTRACK OF A REVOLUTION. 

For the final #BlackFriday of #BlackMusicMonth (which is every month for me, to be fair), one more photo from my personal archive, and one featuring artists from this very city. This is Manchester's own mighty Children of Zeus, at an amazing show they put on at Manchester Cathedral in 2019, one which I maintain will go down as a true "were you there?" moment. If you don't know their music, check it out! ✊🏿⚡
