Let's celebrate Black History Month with a few songs

Drake

For Black History Month this year, I want to celebrate the continuing talent and success of Black singers. They have always been with us, and below you can listen to The Ink Spots “Whispering Grass” of the ‘40s. There are links to songs from contemporary singers too. So, this is not an essay, it’s just me listing a few popular tracks for your enjoyment.
