Truth Tellers at the 主播大秀

Popular Voices at the 主播大秀 Series 1
Episode 3 of 3

Featuring outspoken, thought-provoking and lyrically gifted songsters including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Gil Scott-Heron, KRS-One, Jarvis Cocker, Nick Cave and more.

This compilation is a companion piece to the Truth Tellers episode of Gregory Porter's Popular Voices. Join us for a nostalgic look back at some of the most outspoken, thought-provoking and lyrically gifted songsters to have visited the 主播大秀 studios. From socially discerning troubadours like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, to modern-day poets Patti Smith and Gil Scott-Heron, and rap disrupters like KRS-One (performing with Boogie Down Productions), as well as more recent social observers Jarvis Cocker, Nick Cave and George the Poet.

Featuring clips from The Old Grey Whistle Test, Top of the Pops, Later with Jools Holland and Britpop Now, these performers show us that you don't need fancy vocal acrobatics or sensuous murmurings if your message is powerful.
