SONGS AT THE CENTER

-"Songs at the Center" features music from the heartland. And on this special edition, we're featuring important Black artists as we celebrate Black History Month. Major funding for this celebration provided by... -At the James at Ohio State, a cancer diagnosis is never routine.

that's why we opened the James Cancer Diagnostic Center, a place where you can turn if you think you have cancer. Learn more at cancer.osu.edu/diagnosticcenter. -Here's the producer and host of this special, Kim Haas. -"Songs at the Center" is a weekly public television music series seen on many of these same stations.

It showcases singer/songwriters singing their own compositions, telling the stories behind their songs, and describing the creative struggles that so often accompany the songwriting process. When Eric Gnezda, the creator and host of "Songs at the Center," told me that he and his team were interested in developing a one-hour special for Black History Month, I was thrilled. When they asked me to produce and host it, I was absolutely overjoyed. And here I am.

So, I've gone into the "Songs at the Center" archives to curate a choice selection of noteworthy interviews and performances I think you'll really love for this Black History Month special edition. African Americans have played and continue to play a vital role in the development of the musical sound and narrative of the United States. Their creation of musical genres like R&B, Gospel, blues, hip-hop, and jazz and the propagation of those genres are incredible accomplishments, and Black influence in rock 'n' roll and country music needs to be noted, as well. Icons of these genres such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and Elvis Presley have all been influenced by African-American musicians.

During the next hour, we'll meet contemporary African-American singer/songwriters who are singing their hearts out, writing lyrics, and composing in a variety of music genres that will truly move you. They will each be performing their own original compositions. So, get ready to feel the music, absorb the message, maybe even wipe a tear, and revel in the talent, courage, and resiliency of the African-American spirit. Our first guest is Crys Matthews, who we think is one of the most important young Black artists on the music scene today.

Crys's work often carries a social-justice message, always packed with a heavy dose of positive energy and hope. Here's Crys accompanied by Heather Mae on "Songs at the Center." -The one I want to open up with today is called "How Many More," and I wrote this song after George Floyd was killed. And I'm going to let the rest of it kind of speak for itself. -Okay.

How many times must we watch another mother cry? And if we were you, would what you've done be enough? Would our reactions be as hard on you as yours are on us?

How many more marches will it take? How many more days like this until we break? And if you were us, how much more could you bear? How many "I can't breathe"s before you care?

- How many more? - And if you were us, how much more could you bear? How many "I can't breathe"s before you care?

Applause

Thank you. It's an active choice to be unapologetically who I am because so much of the younger parts of the LGBTQ community, so many parts of the younger parts of the Black community, visibility is such a powerful thing. So being able to see somebody who looks like me -- on TV or just in the world -- being joyful and happy and hopeful and living their life, that is a very powerful thing, and I'm very, very conscious of that. -To incorporate the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

Douglass, born into slavery, taught himself to read and write and rose to become not only the great abolitionist, but an advisor to presidents and one of the leading intellectuals of his time. What do you get when you team up the International Blues Challenge best guitarist with the granddaughter of a sharecropper? You get our next featured artist, two Shauns -- Shaun Booker accompanied by blues guitar virtuoso Sean Carney. Enjoy them both on our "Songs at the Center" Black History Month special.

-Shaun Booker with Sean Carney. Thank you so much for joining us here. -Thank you for having us. -Shaun, you know, one thing about you is that no one is gonna say that you're subtle.

-

Laughs

That's a compliment, right? -Well, you come by it honestly, and have a really very interesting past growing up in Mississippi, or at least being from there, and would you share a little bit about that with us? 'Cause -- -Yeah, well, I didn't actually grow up there, but -- and people call me a blues singer. I do blues well, but I am the blues.

I come from the civil rights worker James Chaney was my cousin that was killed in 1965 signing up people to register to vote. And so that activist spirit is in me, but I'm a granddaughter of a sharecropper. I'm a result of the Great Migration, where a lot of people left the South and came to Detroit and Ohio because of the auto industry, so that was the scaping the South, and, you know, the generation that was born from that. So, wow, in my lifetime, we got the vote -- the right to vote, so I'm aging myself.

And as a little girl, seeing George Wallace doing what he did and why was my mother crying? What was that dogs and all that? I didn't understand. Martial law at our street, and I'm from Youngstown, Ohio.

The soldiers -- we couldn't leave our neighborhood in 1968. I guess when, you know, Kennedy got killed and when Martin Luther King got killed. So I've seen a lot of that, but I'm a survivor. Just the mere fact that I'm here and I'm defiant.

I'm a torch singer more so than just a blues singer. Torch. I'm always on fi-yah!

Laughter

-Would you care to introduce the song that you and Sean are gonna do? -Yeah, and he's absolutely my opposite. We have the same name, but, you know, he's like good cop, I'm bad cop.

Laughter

This is Sean Carney. So, this song, we actually -- I had the makings of it, but he helped me actually put it into a song in my living room when we were going on tour, of course, ahead of the album, and I wanted to be able to tell a story about being slapped, knocking a man out, beating up a thug that stole my brother's bike in a song.

Laughter

Here it is. -That's a full-length feature film movie -- -It is. -...film, isn't it? -Oh, yeah, I got the storyboard already.

You ready, Sean? Heyyyy Ohhh Ooh, yeah Oh, ohh Ohh, oh, oh Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey Ohh, oh Mmmmm Maybe y'all could help me with some hand claps. One, two, three. Come on, like we in church.

Rhythmic clapping

Well, I don't really like to fight But I can say I've won a few I learned the golden rule Way back in Sunday school, yeah But when that thug took my brother's bike He became the bully I did smite Just like David When he slayed Goliath One night while during a show Down at my brother's place Well, the next thing I know This fool slapped me in my face Oh, yes, he did And he called me an awful name What happened next gave me my fame 'Cause I drew back and, with all my might My straight right turned out his lights Just like David When he slayed Goliath It's pride that comes before the fall In all my favorite stories The bigger they are, the harder they fall So much for fame and glory Mirror, mirror on the wall Tell me what you see Who's the fairest of them all Can it be me? I'd like it to be I want you to see No matter where you go Oh, you got to try and be good There come a time you need to speak Power to truth Hey Will you stand up for the lesser man And will you make a great big stand Just like David when he slayed Goliath Just one man against a giant Oh, like David when he slayed Goliath Oh, yes He did, yeah Oh Yeah Oh, yeah Uh-huh Yeah, unh Ooh Ooooh Ooh Ooh Like David, David slayed the giant Slayed Goliath No matter where you go Ooh, you've got to try and be good There come a time You need to speak power to truth Oh, yeah Will you stand up for the lesser man? Will you make a great, great big stand Just like David He slayed Goliath Just one man against a giant Oh, like David When he slayed Goliath Oh, oh Oh, like David Like David, David Oh, that David slayed a giant Slayed Goliath, ohh, yeah David slayed the giant Slayed the giant, mm Mm-hmm Mm, mm-hmm Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh Oh, ohh, oh, yeah So... -Yeah!

Cheers and applause

-And that's from my grandfather, a baptist church, and that, and...

-Black History Month actually began as Negro History Week in 1926. At the urging of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the second person of color to earn a PhD from Harvard.

Who was the first? W.E.B. Du Bois. Next up is a talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, traveler, and world-class educator.

You will not find a more inspirational storyteller than Kresge Arts Fellowship winner and true friend of "Songs at the Center," Reverend Robert B. Jones Sr. -Robert, one of your themes is that diversity really is our strength, and you work in that in a lot of different areas. And talk to us a little bit about some of the work you do in that area, and then we'd love to hear a song.

-Well, the idea is to not tolerate one another, but to celebrate one another, because we understand that American music and American culture is built from the coming together of all of our cultures. And when we start to -- we tolerate back pain, but we celebrate diversity.

Applause

So the idea is -- thank you.

Laughs

The idea is to learn to embrace one another and one another's stories. And so it's just a part of my presentation, whether it's in schools or coffee houses or wherever I happen to be. -Well, you do a great job of that in all your work. -Well, thank you.

-So, would you like to introduce us your song? -Sure. Well, here's a song that was born in high school English class, where I was reading "Moby-Dick," and --

Laughter

...and "Moby-Dick," in the first chapter, there is a preacher who is preaching to Black sailors in New Bedford. And it says that he taught them the blackness of darkness. And I thought about that and let it go, and then I'm at a Denny's in Davenport, Iowa, and the song spills out of my brain.

Plays "The Darkness of Blackness"

Melville told a tale of a preacher who cried Preaching to the men who'd come in on the tide They were tired and hungry and broken inside And he taught them blackness of darkness And their sons and their daughters Walked down the same road Never knowing a life without burden or a load But still from their hearts You know love overflowed As they lived through the darkness of blackness Forget not our fathers who were hung from the trees Forget not our mothers who prayed on their knees For the greatest of us is still lesser than these Who lived through the darkness of blackness And our fathers were feared even though they wore chains Feared for their muscle, feared for their brains For when all else was gone Still the darkness remained And they taught us the strength of blackness And with strong, able women, our fathers were blessed And their beauty showed through even shabbily dressed For a queen wearing rags is a queen nonetheless They taught us the beauty of blackness Forget not our fathers who were hung from the trees Forget not our mothers who prayed on their knees For the greatest of us is still lesser than these Who lived through the darkness of blackness And our fathers built houses by the strength of their hands Just to see them burned down by the knights of the Klan But they looked up to heaven and they built them again And they fought back the darkness of blackness And they fought it with sinew and they fought it with bone And they fought it together and they fought it alone And they fought it with marching And they fought it with song And they fought back the darkness of blackness Forget not our fathers who were hung from the trees Forget not our mothers who prayed on their knees For the greatest of us is still lesser than these Who lived through the darkness of blackness And one day when our fathers, we meet face to face Though our sons be addicted and our daughters debased Let us not have to say when they ask of the race That we fell to the blackness of darkness Forget not our fathers who were hung from the trees Forget not our mothers who prayed on their knees For the greatest of us is still lesser than these Who lived through the darkness of blackness Who lived through the darkness of blackness Who lived through the darkness of blackness

Applause

-Yeah! -Thank you. One of the things that people always try to do musically, I think, is we want to be innovators. We want to be the first person to create a style or to be known for pioneering a particular genre of music, which is a great thing, but unfortunately, sometimes in the effort to try to be an innovator, you leave a lot of great music on the table.

No music comes out of thin air, and so when you pay respect to the music that came before yours, then not only are you deepening your roots, but you're also paying respect or homage to the people whose shoulders you stand on. -"Songs at the Center" conducted a talent search for promising college artists and really struck gold at Marietta College on the Ohio River in southern Ohio. Songwriter Sadie Johnson from Bloomington, Indiana, and best friend Grace Matombe from the Congo, singing in French, by the way, team up on a beautiful song of unity and tolerance inspired, sadly, by the Orlando nightclub shootings. Here is "All the People" on "Songs at the Center." - Calm my senses until I wake up in the mornin' Just to find that my whole world is, oh, it's hurtin' So what can we do To stop this war between me and you?

All the people and all our lost lovers We will never meet, oh, one another But what can we say? To make it through another day 'Cause I can see the tears Runnin' down your face I can taste the pain in this broken place Now, what happened to the love we had? Has it just all gone bad? -

Singing in French

- 'Cause I can see the tears Runnin' down your face I can taste the pain in this broken place Now, what happened to the love we've had? Has it just all gone bad? - Now we will raise our voice And stop this noise -

Singing in French

So let's stop the tears Runnin' down our cheeks Let's throw away our pain Let's find our peace Instead of askin' ourselves why Let's find the answer inside What could that be? -

Singing in French

- Now, what could that be? What are we comin' to?

Cheers and applause

-Our "Songs at the Center" celebration of Black History Month continues. -You have written for ESPN, and you did some work for the ESPYs and HBO and Fox, and so, as you say, you classify your music as human music, but you've also had quite a bit of commercial success. -Yeah, I wrote a song. I put an album out last year called "The Glory Album," and there was a song there called "Stop Me," and it was real anthem-ish, very big, not the song I'm doing now because I would need, like, a band and stuff.

It'd be really weird to just, like, play this, like, hip-hop song with piano, just wouldn't work. But a good friend of mine at ESPN listened to it and showed it to the guys there, and they loved it. Honda picked it up after that, then HBO, the ESPY Awards, Fox. We're still getting placements for it now, and the song was literally just an anthem just saying in the song -- This was a very overt Christian song.

I was saying, "Stop me. Stop me. Please, somebody, stop me, and, Lord, if I'm doing it wrong, then please stop me," so again, just another moment of vulnerability that ended up on TV. -Well, we really appreciate your vulnerability in your music.

I'm not afraid to watch you go I'm not afraid to watch you leave Ba-da-da-da I'm not afraid to say goodbye I'm not afraid to set you free Now it's one in the morning I'm trying to ignore it The problem isn't gone away I'm tired of fighting, and I'm tired of writing So hard to find the words to say I'm not afraid of the games that we'll play Afraid of us fading away Through the ups and the downs we've been through So afraid of the way I love you I can't explain what I don't know I can't explain what it's gonna be Ba-da-da-dum With all this pain, I love you so As long as it ends with you and me Now it's two in the morning I'm trying to ignore it The problem isn't gone away I'm tired of fighting, and I'm tired of writing So hard to find the words to say Not afraid of the games that we'll play Afraid of us fading away I'm not afraid that you'll always be true But I'm afraid of the way I love you I don't want to see you go I don't want to watch you leave Ba-da-da-dum I'm giving up on all my pride So I can give you all of me Now it's three in the morning I try to ignore it The problem isn't gone away But I'll keep on writing, and I'll keep on fighting Till I find the words to say I'm not afraid of the games that we'll play Afraid of us fading away I'm not afraid that you'll always be true But I'm afraid of the way I love you See, there's one thing better Than being afraid with you Only one thing better Than being afraid with you See, the thing that's better Than being afraid with you Is getting better

-Christon Gray, beautiful. -Thank you. -Where does "Songs at the Center" find such great talent? You might be surprised.

Describing our next guest, Guitar World magazine said, "If Jimi Hendrix played Sacred Steel, he would sound and act like Nikki 'D.'" Eric heard Nikki and her talented sister Gloria playing in a church in Toledo, Ohio, and what a church it must be. Here are Nikki "D" and her sister, Gloria Brown, helping us celebrate Black History Month on "Songs at the Center."

Yeah! -Our next guest has so many music fans in Columbus, Ohio, that they named a street after him. Really! And his joy, energy, and music are absolutely infectious.

So tap your toes, clap your hands, and give it up for Willie Phoenix on "Songs at the Center." - The carnival sun Was in my eyes But I could still see the mini skirts Driving by Painted beads of glass Twinkle like stars And on my Buddha of stone Laughs with me in my backyard I was standing Off to the side When I saw the blue sky parade Come rollin' by It was a good day So beautiful, yeah It was a good, good day So beautiful So beautiful Well, mm I saw Superman eating an ice cream cone In the park He was talkin' to some pretty girls On his day off I said, "I wish I could be like you" Savior of the world I'd be dressed up in my Superman suit And I'd be talkin' to all the pretty girls He smiled and winked at me Then everything changed Flew off into history To save a comic book frame, yeah I was standing Off to the side When I saw the blue sky parade Come rollin' by It was a good day So beautiful It was a good, good day So beautiful It was a good day So beautiful Yeah It was a good, good day, y'all So beautiful So beautiful Yeah, so beautiful Ohh Y'all want to clap your hands one time.

Cheers and applause

Thank you. Thank you. -From 1926 on, the second week of February had been known in the United States as Negro History Week, but in 1969, Black educators and the Black United Students Organization at Ohio's Kent State University proposed to rename it and extend the celebration to the entire month of February. Their activism, along with momentum from the Civil Rights Movement of the '60s and a growing sense of Black identity made the first Black History Month a reality in 1970.

Applause

-Well, from right here in Columbus, Ohio, we have Amber Knicole. Amber, you do so many things. You're a singer. You're a songwriter.

You're an actor. You love musical theater. In fact, you just starred in "Pippin." How do you approach each different genre, each different project that you have? -What's common about everything is that I'm on stage singing in every capacity.

So, I've just always wanted to be a performer. I love singing. I love entertaining people. So I just find all the ways that I can possibly do it.

-Well, in addition, you're an aerialist, and you've been known to fly in some of your performances, and we've never had anyone fly on "Songs at the Center." -We'll have to get a hem. We'll have to -- -If the spirit moves you. -Alright. Yes.

-Amber, introduce your song and tell us a little bit about it before you play it with George and Walter. -Alright, well, the song we're going to do right now is called "Perpetual Conduit of Positivity." We call it "PCP" for short, and we invite you to take a fun ride with us. It's all about just having a good time and having a positive outlook on life. -Well, we love fun on "Songs at the Center," so let us hear it.

-Good. -3, 4. - Travelin' down this windin' road Dropped your baggage, you lightened your load You think you've got it all figured out Till life comes in and turns you around It's funny 'cause it feels like you're falling But it's crazy 'cause you learn how to fly Perpetual conduit of positivity An open invitation to try a new philosophy We'll make it a lot longer and further If we try to be perpetual conduits of positivity Things fall apart, sometimes life gets hard But with pain you'll grow, and in time you'll know Everything that glitters ain't gold So don't subscribe to the lies that you're being told It's funny 'cause it feels like you're falling But it's crazy 'cause you learn how to fly - Perpetual conduit of positivity An open invitation to try a new philosophy We'll make it a lot longer and further If we try to be perpetual conduits of positivity - Perpetual conduit - Yeah - Of positivity - Oh Mm, I said I'll be a light

-Wow. Talisha Holmes with "B-Jazz" Scott. Thank you. Crys Matthews, welcome to "Songs at the Center." -Thanks so much, Eric.

-I see you've brought Heather Mae with you. -Yep. -And Heather, how you doing? -I'm doing great.

How are you? -I'm doing great, thank you. You've written a song that I guess we could say was inspired by something that you saw on Facebook, and if you don't mind, I'd just like to read that to you. "She was reminding us of the Jews trapped in their homes during the Holocaust and how they couldn't sing or make any noise at all for fear of certain death.

But that we, even during this very scary ordeal, can." -Yeah. -What happened then? -Yeah, you know, it was just such a great bit of perspective on even though we were going through this very scary pandemic, the thing that people were complaining about, which was staying home, was actually keeping us safe and that we could still sing, we could still dance. It wasn't like we had the same worries that they had in that time in the Holocaust.

And so it's just some really great perspective to have at the beginning of this pandemic, and it was kind of part -- one half of the inspiration for what I think is a very beautiful love song that came out of it that I was fortunate enough to get to write with Heather. -Let's hear it. -Alright, this is "Six Feet Apart." So much fear So much chaos You've been asking Who's gonna save us? Turn off the TV And turn off your phone Yeah, we're safe if we stay at home We can sing If we want to We can still dance The whole night through We can lock eyes From across the room We don't need to touch I can feel you Six feet apart Won't stop us Don't need to hold you in my arms I still know you in the dark Just 'cause I can't kiss you underneath the moonlight Doesn't mean you have to feel alone tonight Let's get closer From six feet apart - I can't remember the last time I slowed down long enough to memorize The lines on your face And the way your laugh lights up our place So tell me something that you haven't told me yet And I'll put on that dress from the night we met 'Cause there's nowhere else I'd rather be Than right here right now Just you and me - Six feet apart Won't stop us Don't need to hold you in my arms I still know you in the dark Just 'cause I can't kiss you underneath the moonlight Doesn't mean you have to feel alone tonight Let's get closer From six feet apart - We can light up the dark - We can light up the dark - If we don't let this change us Ooh, let love undo All that fear and hate does 'Cause six feet apart Won't stop us Don't need to hold you in my arms I still know you in the dark Just 'cause I can't kiss you underneath the moonlight Doesn't mean we have to feel alone tonight - You're not alone - You're not alone - You're not alone - Alone - Six feet apart Won't stop us Don't need to hold you in my arms I still know you in the dark Just 'cause I can't kiss you underneath the moonlight Doesn't mean we have to feel alone tonight - Let's get closer - Let's get closer From six feet apart Oooooooh

Applause

-Wow. -Thanks so much. -Thank you. -Thank you.

-I'm a preacher's kid, and so, you know, I was taught very early on the difference between right and wrong. And so when I think about myself in the terms of right and wrong, I think about that in the terms of am I a good person? Am I trying to make the world a better place? Me being a lesbian doesn't influence that.

Me being Black doesn't influence that. Me being a human who wants as much good to come from this world as possible, that's what matters. -Here's the creator and host of the weekly version of "Songs at the Center," Eric Gnezda. Eric, I've thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your team as we celebrate Black History Month.

It's been an absolute pleasure. -Well, Kim, we've loved having you, as well, and as I always say, tune in to public television stations all across America each week, where you'll always find "Songs at the Center." We'll see you next time. -Major funding provided by... -At the James at Ohio State, a cancer diagnosis is never routine.
