Legends Mix

Today's mixed bag of goodies span nearly three whole decades, from as long back as 1929 to 1957. And in this show some special attention to the way Cab Calloway helped popularize African American culture with the white audience by giving it a sense of coolness instead of the old racial stereotypes where Blacks were seen as inferior, dumb and the ultimate losers. A story seldomly told, but this popularization has always been an important factor in the cross-over of African-American music styles to the general audience and the dominant influence they have on pop music.
