On this episode, we talk to author, noted music producer, and scholar Pat Thomas, who spent five years researching Listen, Whitey! We dig deep into how the movement affected the popular music of the day, including Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye and Motown, Gil Scott-Heron, Nina Simone and others.
Thomas also talks about how bands like The Last Poets and The Watts Prophets foreshadowed and influenced rap music, as well as the musical and cultural world we live in today.
