This weeks theme is...Black History Month

 

 

Inspired by this month's Black History Month, which takes place throughout the whole of October.
To celebrate it, here's three famous black artists...

 

 

 

 

1. Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino


Apparently this is where Fats found his thrill (and was still singing about it many years later!)
'Blueberry Hill' entered the chart on 21st December 1956 reaching Number 6.

2. River Deep, Mountain High by Ike and Tina Turner


Tina right at the start of her career!
'River Deep, Mountain High' entered the chart on 9th June 1966 reaching Number 3.

3. What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong


One of Old Satchmo's finest tunes...
'What A Wonderful World' entered the chart on 7th February 1968 reaching Number 1.



Happy listening!
