June Celebrates Black Music
In 1979, President Jimmy Carter decreed that June would be the month of Black music in recognition of Black music's extraordinary contributions to American culture. This month, AARP proudly celebrates Black Music Month—a time to recognize and applaud the rich impact of African American music on our country’s history. Which black musicians have most influenced your love of music?

The Four Tops "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" was the first Motown 45 that got me into checking out the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Chi-lites, and many more. I was 9 when that song came out and played on AM radio and I loved it and still do.

Thinking on this topic leads to me to the
Motown sound. And that leads me to one
of my favorite groups The Four Tops. I
have always loved them since the 60’s.
Their sound with the incredible Levi
Stubbs (RIP) on lead vocals has kept me
listening to them to this day 🎼💜

Tina Turner, What's Love Got To Do With It! Strong black lady walked away from abuse from hubbie Ike Turner. As an African American Woman, I use Tina as an inspiration for myself and adult daughter. Thank you so much for posting this @AARPLynne 👌
