The long-awaited documentary was a year in the making and highlights the history and legacy of Go-go music. It features trailblazers, legends and stars who have championed the sound throughout the decades. The film also delves into the evolution of the Go-go culture, celebrating the legacy of the Godfather of Go-go music, Chuck Brown, and the pivotal role Radio One played as the original broadcast platform for the music genre. Additionally, it examines the passion that fueled social movements, including the internationally recognized Don&#8217;t Mute DC, which emphasized the music&#8217;s power and influence amid a rapidly changing cultural landscape.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I always sought to represent the underrepresented. I always gave voice to the voiceless, and Go-go was very much that,&#8221; said Cathy Hughes, Chairwoman and Founder, Urban One who served as Executive Producer for the project. &#8220;We are proud to be a part of the Go-go story and grateful to tell the story of the men and women who helped to create and promote this amazing sound.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-8891641\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>THE BEAT DON&#8217;T STOP pays homage to the unique contribution of Go-go music to the musical landscape. It features a host of celebrities, artists, music historians, and community leaders including rapper Doug E.

It was largely blamed for the rise in crime and violence that paralyzed D.C. THE BEAT DON&#8217;T STOP takes viewers through that history and addresses how the music served as a platform for African Americans to elevate and address issues such as class struggles, gentrification and the music&#8217;s impact on black culture.<\/p>\n<p>THE BEAT DON&#8217;T STOP is executive produced by Urban One Founder and Chairwoman Cathy Hughes. For TV One, Deirdre Leake-Butcher and Tracey Uy served as Executive Producers, with Bo Sampson of Bodacious One Productions serving as Co-Executive Producer. Nile Cone served as senior writer and producer. Susan Henry is the Executive Producer in Charge of Production, Donyell Kennedy-McCullough is Senior Director of Talent &amp; Casting, Robyn Greene Arrington is Vice President of Original Programming and Production, and Michelle Rice is General Manager.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1655725700\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV One celebrates Black Music Month with the debut of its original documentary, THE BEAT DON&#8217;T STOP, airing on Sunday, June 21 at 8PM ET\/7C, followed by an encore presentation at 10PM ET\/9C.
