"The Magical Journey of Richard Potter: America's First Black Celebrity Meets Modern Magic"

69cc495b-3b03-4eb1-90c9-01cca97fc201-s-k...
In this episode, we explore the fascinating life of Richard Potter, America's first Black celebrity and magician, who rose to fame despite facing systemic racism. His magic acts, including ventriloquism and card tricks, made him a sensation across the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean.

We also connect Potter’s story to modern digital fame with Kai Cenat and his unsettling encounter with Max Major, a magician pushing the boundaries of illusion. We link these stories to John Rannie, the Scottish magician who mentored Potter, showing how magic has evolved across generations.

Tune in to discover the magic, resilience, and connection between Richard Potter, Kai Cenat, Max Major, and John Rannie.

"Reggae Got Soul: Jamaican Covers and Their Originals - From the '60s into the '80s."

Reggae Got Soul
From the early 1960s, and even before that, it was not uncommon in Jamaica for artists to record their own versions of songs by US performers. Not surprising, since these songs were extremely popular on the island, as the early sound system pioneers imported soul, r&b and pop records from the US. In this book we try to trace the origins of many of those covers and their performers. Due to the overwhelming quantity of covers, we have restricted our selection to songs within the Black Music genre
