Contrairement à leur nom, leur musique est célèbre dans le monde entier. Connu sous le nom des Funk Brothers, leur tempo inimitable - la soul - se retrouve sur d'innombrables morceaux produits par Motown Records pour des chanteurs aussi légendaires que Diana Ross and The Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, et beaucoup d'autres. Synonyme de toute une époque, leur musique fut au coeur du mouvement civique, des protestations contre la guerre du Vietnam et des bouleversements sociaux des années 60 et 70. Ces musiciens jouèrent sur plus de disque numéro un du top 50 que les Beatles, les Beach Boys, les Rolling Stones et Elvis Presley réunis.

In his provocative 2021 book, The Devil You Know: A Black Power Manifesto, New York Times opinion columnist Charles M. Blow calls for a “reverse Great Migration” of African Americans from the North back to the South to upend today’s political power structures while reclaiming the land and culture they left behind. South to Black Power does more than illustrate Blow’s enlightening ideas; we journey through Blow’s personal story, from his childhood in Louisiana to his role as father to young adult children in New York City, showing us the hard-won truths behind his vision for the future.

Ellen
1998 min 48 vues
Ellen is an American television sitcom that aired on the ABC network from March 29, 1994 to July 22, 1998, consisting of 109 episodes. The title role of Ellen Morgan, played by stand-up comedian Ellen DeGeneres, was a neurotic bookstore owner in her thirties. The series centered on Ellen's dealing with her quirky friends, her family and the problems of daily life. The series is notable for being the first one in which the main character came out as gay, which DeGeneres' character did in the 1997 episode "Puppy Episode". This event received a great deal of media exposure, ignited controversy, and prompted ABC to place a parental advisory at the beginning of each episode. The series' theme song, "So Called Friend" is by Scottish band Texas. A running gag was that each episode had a distinct opening credits sequence, resulting from Ellen's ongoing search for the perfect opening credits.

It also refers to the fact that most of the show's cast were black, unlike other sketch comedy shows such as Saturday Night Live whose casts are usually mostly white.
