African American Music Appreciation Month - Enjoy the Beats!

African American Music Appreciation Month

Party people, put on your dancing shoes! It’s time to crank up soul, jazz, gospel, and hip hop for African American Music Appreciation Month. Here’s one rumor and funky facts:

1. Louis Armstrong’s trumpet was a secretly disguised saxophone.

2. James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, holds the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 hits—without a single number 1!

3. Platform shoes were designed for dancers to touch the ceiling. Why??

   
   

As we enjoy the beats and lyrics, let’s remember the legends who make music that powerfully impacts our minds, bodies, and relationships. Making the world a better place for you and me.
