As part of 6 Music鈥檚 season celebrating Black Power, Craig Charles presents a Special Edition of his Funk and Soul Show.
As part of 6 Music鈥檚 season celebrating 鈥楤lack Power鈥� Craig Charles presents a Special Edition of his 鈥楩unk and Soul Show鈥�. Over the course of the show Craig will tell the story of how Black Music, Culture, Sport and Politics all collided during 1968 - a year of Revolution. Funk and Soul had long been the soundtrack for political and social change, and this came to a head in 1968 - a year of assassination and riots that culminated with the famous 鈥楤lack Power鈥� salute at the 1968 Olympic Games. Using his extensive record collection, his house band 鈥橳he History Teachers鈥� and 麻豆社 News archive, Craig will take the listener back to those turbulent days of 1968 as he tells the story of a year that changed the world. Expect tunes from the likes of James Brown, Otis Redding, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin.
