June
2008 marks the 29th year of national recognition of Black Music. It
is difficult to imagine American music without the rich and
continuing innovations of African Americans. Influenced by Berry
Gordy, Stevie Wonder and songwriter and record producer Kenny
Gamble, President Jimmy Carter in 1979 designated June as Black
Music Month. Black music is ubiquitous, a necessary component of
nearly every American musical style. President Bush stated, “During
Black Music Month we recognize the outstanding contributions that
African-American singers, composers, and musicians have made to our
country, and we express our appreciation for the extraordinary music
that has enriched our Nation." BMA invites you to celebrate the rich
legacy of the artist featured this month here on Black Music
America.
