Episode 86
In Episode 86, Aaron and Brent look at music from an English singer, songwriter, and record producer and a Michigan born artist who signed with Motown’s Tamla label at the age of 11.
Developing a love for music early in life by learning to play instruments in the church pastored by his father, Aaron highlights three songs by London-based artist Samm Henshaw.
Serving as an influence to generations of musicians despite being blind since shortly after his birth, Brent spotlights three songs from the career of Stevie Wonder.
