History of Black American Music

As part of Black History Month, Craig tells the story of Black American music from 1945 to the present day.

As part of Black History Month Craig tells the story of Black American Music from 1945 to today in just 3 hours - is he mad? Can he do it? Who know's, but expect some amazing tunes and tales as he delves into his trunk of funk to come up with a playlist to end all playlists. He'll be assisted by a band of specially selected musicians who will be adding some live music to our history lesson. How many tunes can we play in 3 hours, which tunes will make the cut?
