Have you ever even heard of a smooth type of British music called Lovers Rock?
Me either. But don't let that stop you from checking out this alternately
entertaining and educational documentary detailing the history of what was
actually a very influential, if underappreciated, genre.
Directed by Barbados-born Brit Menelik Shabazz, The Story of Lovers Rock chronicles how the unique sound became the rage around London back in the Seventies. A blend of apolitical reggae and American-style R&B, it was created by the young offspring of Caribbean immigrants living in Brixton and other ghettos in England.
