The Wavelength
Monday February 14th, 2022 with Joe Reilly
For Black History Month and Valentine's Day - it's all songs about love by a wide range of Black artists tonight.

We continue to mark Black History Month by celebrating the music of Black artists for two hours on the Wavelength. And while I'm not the biggest fan of the consumerism that surrounds Valentine's Day, I thought we'd focus on songs about love tonight. Some of those songs celebrate romantic love, sexual love, the supportive love of family and friends and some lament loves lost. Towards the end of the show a couple of songs celebrate very poignant themes of love in ways that only great artists can tap into. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you feel some love in your life during these trying times.
