Black Music (magazine)

Black Music (Black Music & Jazz Review from April 1978) was the first British music magazine to take reggae music seriously. The magazine was aimed mostly at fans of soul music but included regular featured articles on reggae and reggae charts. The first issue was published in December 1973 and the magazine was published monthly until July 1984, when it was absorbed by Blues & Soul.

It was Carl Gayle, born in Jamaica, who inspired the magazine after his article "Let it Rock" came to the attention of magazine publishers IPC (International Publishing Corporation). Gayle later recorded several reggae albums under the name "Carl I". His first was titled Keep My Fire Burnin.
