In this electric avenue of Lost in the Groove we took it highya. A sit down with DJ, professor, author, and music historian Amani Roberts. For a deep dive into the soul of R&B, its roots, its rise, and its revolution.
Amani breaks down the legacy of R&B groups from the 1950s to the 2000s as explored in his new book The Quiet Storm. From The Temptations and Kool & The Gang to TLC, Destiny’s Child. Even the rise of independent music in the streaming era. We examine the evolution of sound, business, and cultural impact.
We talk about music ownership, sampling ethics, touring realities, and the dark side of the industry. The shady contracts, creative control, and how the digital shift reshaped everything. Amani also explains how legacy artists. Like Prince and modern names like Sia and Billie Eilish rewrote the rules. Seeing why resilience is the ultimate trait for success.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of old-school n' soul or trying to make it as an indie artist today. This episode offers powerful insight into the business, and spirit behind the music.
