Black Music (magazine)
The first edition of Black Music magazine, December 1973.
Black Music (Black Music & Jazz Review from April 1978) was the first British music magazine to take reggae music seriously.[1] The magazine was aimed mostly at fans of soul music but included regular featured articles on reggae and reggae charts. The first issue was published in December 1973[2] and the magazine was published monthly until July 1984, when it was absorbed by Blues & Soul.[3]
It was Carl Gayle, born in Jamaica, who inspired the magazine after his article "Let it Rock" came to the attention of magazine publishers IPC (International Publishing Corporation).[1] Gayle later recorded several reggae albums under the name "Carl I". His first was titled Keep My Fire Burnin.[2]
