Black History Month: Musicians from Philadelphia
Series produced by WXPN
Four separate features profile African American artists who have ties to Philadelphia
This series contains four separate profiles of Black musicians who hail from Philadephia. They are house DJ King Britt, poet Ursula Rucker, soul singer Solomon Burke and bass player Christian McBride.
Stations outside of Philadelphia can carry the series (or individual pieces) without having to highlight the city. Philadelphia plays a very small role in the actual reports.
The pieces run from 4:40-6:15.
