February is Black History Month!

Yes, I know I'm posting this with a week left of Black History Month, but everyone knows that Black History should be celebrated year round. Make sure to stay updated on Black History in general, but since I love music I figured I would share some great artists with you. Below are some clips of Sam Cooke, The Staple Singers, Dinah Washington, and Nat King Cole. I want to post some more artists later this week, but I can't make any promises. Enjoy!!!!!

Sam Cooke was a singer and songwriter. He is a major figure in the history of popular music and one of the most influential black vocalists of the post World War II period.

The Staple Singers were one of the most successful gospel to pop cross-over acts ever. They collected several top 20 hits in the early 1970s.

Dinah Washington was a blues performer who was widely noted for her excellent voice control and unique gospel-influenced delivery.

Nat King Cole was hailed as one of the best and most influential pianist and small group leaders of the swing era.
