In honor of Black Music Month, Members of Military? (formerly Militant Military), Ms. Williams, Militia Seven, A.M.P and SOLJAH invite you to join them in paying homage to over 20 musicians who have made major contributions to the history of Black Music. June marks the 32nd anniversary of Black Music Month and Military? kicks of Black Music Month by celebrating, Kenny Gamble, one of the people instrumental in encouraging former President Jimmy Carter to proclaim the month of June to be Black Music Month.
Inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, Kenneth "Kenny" Gamble and his partner Leon A. Huff is a writing & music production team (Gamble & Huff) behind 175 gold and platinum selling albums and are known in part as the architects of the smooth soul sound of Philadelphia. The award winning duo have writtern over 3,000 songs and worked with artists such as The Jackson's, Patti LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, The O'Jays and so many more. Their soulful influence on R&B & Hip-Hop is undeniable as can be seen by the various Gamble & Huff samples utilized by artist such as R. Kelly, Kanye West, Jay Z, Nelly, Avant and others.
Military? is influenced by Hip-Hop but SOLJAH explains, "don’t be surprised to see R&B, Soul, Funk and even Rock N Roll artists on our tribute to Black Music Month List". Military?'s Ms.Williams adds, “Black Musicians have made so many contributions to music and we felt it was important to celebrate the legacy of these heroes”.
