Marian Anderson- My Country, Tis of Thee
1st Black artist to perform on the National Mall. The story behind her performance makes for a great history lesson
Ella Fitzgerald (with the Duke Ellington Band)-Take the “A” Train
1st Black artist to win a Grammy.
Otis Redding- (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction performed at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
Discuss how white rock bands would frequently cover and popularize songs by black artists. Otis blew away the other musicians and almost entirely white audience at the festival by performing some covers of rock songs.
Stevie Wonder- Higher Ground
In 1964 he became the 1st Black artist to win Grammy for Album of the year.
Sugar Hill Gang- Rapper’s Delight
In 1979 their song became the first rap hit.

Wet Leg is definitely growing in popularity. They recently performed at the Grammy’s and the Brit Awards. They are a fun listen if you like indie/alt rock.
