BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN THE MIX

Our Black History Month special issue, which focuses on the producers behind your favorite recordings (including a few you might not have associated with Black history), is on its way. You'll encounter spellbinding anecdotes about the Motown machine, Philly soul's evolution, Ray Charles, Aretha, Michael Jackson, Prince and even L.A. punk trailblazers Black Flag. It's a chance to get behind the boards and turn up the volume on the work of some extraordinary creators. Stay tuned.
