Black Music Sunday: Let’s welcome September with song

Some months of the year get immortalized in song lyrics and titles far more frequently than others, and September happens to be one of them. I’m basing this assertion on a nonscientific Google search as well as lyrics that popped into my head when thinking about the month that bids goodbye to summer. 

September songs span multiple genres, from R&B to funk to rock to jazz and even show tunes.  Join me in a celebration of the first month of autumn and the music it has inspired. 

”Black Music Sunday” is a weekly series highlighting all things Black music, with over 225 stories covering performers, genres, history, and more, each featuring its own vibrant soundtrack. I hope you’ll find some familiar tunes and perhaps an introduction to something new.
