Michael Ochs Archives/Getty ImagesFebruary is Black History Month, and to celebrate, World Cafe correspondent John Morrison is stopping by each week to talk about some of the Black innovators of rock and roll: Black artists who invented and re-invented rock, decade by decade.
Last week we talked about the experimental '70s and '80s artist like Grace Jones. This week, we're shifting to the end of the '80s and onto the '90s, starting with two of the biggest Black rock acts of the '90s: Living Colour and Fishbone.
