Hello my big music lover fans! We are back once again educating and entertaining you all about criminally underrated Black artists!
Today we are discussing the legacy of Sugar Chile Robinson. Sugar Chile was an amazing child prodigy that could play the piano and sing the blues at only two years old. His piano playing style helped emerged a new genre of blues music called boogie-woogie. Listen as Kevaun tells the story of his famous catchphrase, songs including his famous hit Number’s Boogie, the impact of being a Black child prodigy and so much more!
Mr. Robinson, here are your flowers. 💐
