The Liberation of Black Music Podcast

Hello my big music lover fans! We are on our ELEVENTH criminally underrated Black artist. This one is a special one because he is the pioneer of Black music as a whole. And this is none other than Mr. George W. Johnson himself! George was a very popular artist who had two famous songs (The Laughing Song and The Whistling Coon) that would follow him all the way until his untimely demise in 1914. Listen as Kevaun discusses his history and how much his impact has paved the way for Black artists, musicians, and/or producers to be where they are today. Mr. Johnson, here are your flowers. 💐 Timestamps:0:01 Beginning Sound Bite: From The Merry Mail Man by George W.
