The Church of Classic Rock

Join the Reverend Jeff Smith for a very specialized observation of Black History Month! In honor of Black History Month, today's program will discuss African-American influences in our favorite genre: Rock 'n roll. The Reverend will begin by explaining how Little Richard helped start the rock genre, how Sister Rosetta Tharpe provided the core elements which Elvis would capitalize on for his success, and the Rev'll count down the top-15 African-American musicians of all time!
