Just in time for summer, right on time for the re-release of “Purple Rain,” and before the dusk of African-American Music Appreciation Month, AJC Sepia is dropping its first Spotify Playlist.
The AJC Sepia 60, is a diverse and eclectic mix of sounds spanning from Nat King Cole’s “Sweet Lorraine to J. Cole’s “Love Yourz.”
The Playlist was curated by AJC staffers, Michelle Miller, Rick Watkins, Rosalind Bentley, Eric Stirgus, Kimeko McCoy, David Gibson, Nedra Rhone, Jewel Wicker, Stephanie Toone, Pete Corson, Najja Parker, Sheila Poole and Ernie Suggs.
On it, you will find classic artists like Al Green, Lauryn Hill and Public Enemy, as well as newcomers like Forever Jones and Chance the Rapper.
We go from “In the Upper Room,” to “The Thong Song.”
