Black History Month #1 The Mills Brothers

It's Black History Month - so every day I'll try and list a black artist that has influenced my musical tastes or become part of the soundtrack on my life in the UK.

Today No 1. The Mills Brothers - Tiger Rag circa 1931 - I heard this or even had this as a 78rpm record crackles and all - probably because my parents had an antique shop and this was probably in one of the boxes. But I did love it.

An early example of beatboxing here ... right

Enjoy.
