Weekend self-care open thread: Black British musicians of the 1970s
Happy weekend, my little bluejays! As anyone who is a regular reader of this here joint knows, oftentimes our weekend self-care posts are given over to Black music. But Friday, while watching BBC Two, I realized something: I've never featured Black British artists. Of course, modern artists like RAYE, Olivia Dean, and Stormzy are internationally known. But Black music in the UK has a much longer pedigree, kick-started by the mass migration postwar migration to Britain to help the country rebuild. This weekend we'll celebrate some of the great Black British artists from the 1970s. The fashion may have been atrocious, but the music was grand. Share your own selections in the comments. As always, dear friends, be ever kind, gentle, and joyful with yourselves and those around you.
