If you’re a Black person who’s been living and working in America, then you already know there are a handful of classic songs and albums that stand the test of time and bring us joy.
Whether it’s Stevie Wonder and “Songs in the Key of Life” or Whitney Houston and “I Will Always Love You”—there are just some cultural faves that will forever be cherished and passed down generation after generation. But while that passing down is to be expected from folks of the African American persuasion—thanks to social media apps like TikTok and Instagram—young white and Asian kids all over the country are also getting exposed to the timeless music.
Whether they’re belting out the hits in the middle of a mall or singing along with their parents in the car, this unlikely group of “new fans” are finally getting exposed to songs we’ve been loving and it’s some of the funniest and heartwarming stuff you’ve seen all year.
Don’t believe us? Then just take a look for yourselves.
