The New Black Man:
Mark Anthony Neal’s “Overlooked Genius”
Throughout this month – - Black Music Month - – we’ve been hearing from some of the most influential artists in popular music, jazz, and Gospel.
We’ve heard Lalah Hathaway, Melba Moore, Nancy Wilson, Chuck D., Leela James, Sonny Rollins, CeCe Winans, and Jody Watley….
We’ve also dissected the use of AutoTune technology and talked with the Rev. Jesse Jackson about the reach of Tupac Shakur.
But we’re not done yet.
We haven’t hit on Black Radio for example.
On today’s show, Dyson talks to the New Black Man, which is the online blogging moniker of Mark Anthony Neal.
Professor Neal is also a student, and teacher, of Black Popular Culture in the Department of African and African American Studies at Duke University.
He wants to talk about one old-school artist in particular this month…. whom he calls “an overlooked genius.” And it’s not me.
