BBC’s Once Upon A Time In New York

by Chandra Drews

 

I’m quite the fan of BBC documentaries, especially ones that discuss music from a variety of genres. And while I’ve posted many documentaries on Whiteboard Journal’s old site, I’m pretty sure one-or-two of you would have missed a few of those excellent shows. So I’d like to start the process of re posting each amazing documentary one-by-one, starting with Once Upon A Time In New York: The Birth of Hip-Hop, Disco and Punk. And as the title suggests, this 60 minute special delves into the street music of 1970s New York that gave birth to those three genres. The video is split into 4 sections, so please be sure to click the > arrow above to scroll through the shows.
