February is not only the month of cheesy Hallmark cards,
boxes of chocolate, and many DIY gifts, but it’s an annual celebration of
achievements by African Americans. In honor of Black History Month, we have
created a list of African American musicians who have shared their talent and
message with us over the years. These artists will always be recognized as
icons due to their timeless music, undeniable vocals, and their extraordinary
instrumental skills. Here are the top 15 musicians in no specific order who
deserve to be acknowledged this month:
- Tina Turner
- B.B King
- Aretha Franklin
- Miles Davis
- Jimi Hendrix
- Michael Jackson
- Whitney Houston
- Louis Armstrong
- Diana Ross
- Etta James
- Smokey Robinson
- Sammy Davis Jr.
- Billie Holiday
- James Brown
- Sam Cooke
There are many others who didn’t make the list, but deserve
recognition as well. Last October we were honored to have B.B King perform live
on our stage and we’ll continue to bring legends to Huntington; if you have an
artist or musician who didn’t make the list and want us to have them here at
The Paramount let us know bellow.
