June is Black Music Month and in honor of the occasion The Atlanta Voice editorial team was tasked with naming five favorite songs that were the soundtrack of their lives. All genres of music, eras, and artists were eligible for the lists. The goal was to share the songs that move, motivate, and inspire us.
Here’s what we came up with.
Happy Black Music Month.
Enjoy,
